A tactical shooter set during the 1968 Tet offensive
The briefing
Conflict: Vietnam is the third game in Pivotal Games' Conflict Series, set during the bloody Vietnam War in 1968 during the Tet offensive.
You control four ordinary American G.I.s separated from their unit during battle. Command the squad or take direct control of individual soldiers, each specializing in an ability such as Sniper, Leader, Heavy Weapons, or Medic. Experience points earned through objectives, enemy kills, and vehicle destruction can improve these skills, including the abilities needed to defuse booby traps.
Missions take place across jungles, underground Vietcong complexes, and temples. Alongside primary goals, optional objectives can include destroying tanks or collecting Vietcong documents. Some missions also feature friendly soldiers and citizens, stationary weapons, jeeps, and tanks.
The console versions include split-screen cooperative multiplayer for up to four players on Xbox and two players on PlayStation 2. The PC version does not include this mode.
