Ballistics Report

Pros

Gameplay
The same good-old Battlefield gameplay, pitting up to 64 players against each other on two teams, but now more refined and polished.

Sound
Battlefield Vietnam's sound effects and musical score are spectacular, as good as Call of Duty.

Improved singleplayer
Note that "improved" doesn't mean good. However, the singleplayer works better than it used to, thanks to slightly more competent bots.

Price
Battlefield Vietnam's saving grace. Apparently the developer and publisher realized full price would be a scam for this very professional mod.

Cons

Quality Control
The lag, interface bugs and design flaws are apparent to anyone who would look. We give EA no quarter for releasing the game in this condition.

Same-old
Battlefield Vietnam isn't such a big change from Battlefield 1942. In fact, Desert Combat has done most of what Vietnam does now, and it's free.
