Overview

With this game we have once again pushed back the boundaries with some of the richest jungle environments you will have ever seen. Whereas Conflict: Desert Storm I & II were often about longer range combat, with Conflict: Vietnam it gets up close and personal.

'YOU CAN KILL TEN OF MY MEN FOR EVERY ONE I KILL OF YOURS, BUT EVEN AT THOSE ODDS, YOU WILL LOSE AND I WILL WIN.' - HO OHI MINH

Conflict: Vietnam drops the player right in the bloody heart of one of the 20th Century's most brutal conflicts. The player commands a squad of four 101st Infantry, the Screaming Eagles, who find themselves stranded deep in hostile territory following the upheaval of the massive communist Tet offensive.

Outnumbered, cut off and isolated - the odds are against survival. The player must use cunning, squad tactics and firepower to even the odds. Scavenging weapons and learning from experience may tip the odds back in your favor. From deep jungle to blasted cities, from ancient temples to US firebases � the setting may vary, but the danger and action are unrelenting. This time the battle for survival is as intense as the fight for victory.

Jungle combat by its nature is very different to that offered by a desert environment. You have to move through the dense claustrophobic jungles cautiously, not certain from where in the jungle canopy the enemy will appear. If this was not enough, numerous traps have been set by a very cunning and ruthless opponent. The tension is only relieved by the intense bouts of combat as you try to survive the formidable onslaughts of the Vietcong guerillas.

But this is a Conflict game and you don�t face these odds alone, you have your squad to take the battle to your enemy and win!

However, rather than the highly trained fighting squads of Delta Force or SAS, your team is rawer, newer to combat. Through your control and direction you can turn them into a formidable fighting force, battling the odds for survival as they fight their way out from deep within enemy lines.
