Battlefield Vietnam?

[Mr_Burns]

Struggling to remember the first Battlefield Vietnam where your hueys could airlift an M113 and the pilots had to carry all the troops into action.

 

You could take over artillery and it had a fantastic soundtrack, engineers could dig spawn points and plant punji sticks...

 

Also, what were the aircraft that you could strafe the soldiers running from one island to another?

 

I know they released a later one that was pants, but I would love to play it again if it had bots.

It was just called Battlefield Vietnam, it was basically an expansion of Battlefield 1942.

 

Had a lot of aircraft too. An F-4, A-7, A-1, AC-47, Mig 17 and Mig 21.

 

Official servers are long gone I'm sure, but there may still be a few unofficial servers around. I know both Battlefield 2 and 2142 have somewhat of a community running still unofficially. I actually still have the discs for all of them in my room. I know you were able to set up single player matches with the teams filled with bots though, so if you have or are able to find the boxed set you can play by yourself pretty easily.

 

I now miss the good old days of Battlefield, back before Bad Company consolized the hell out of them...

There was also the free Vietnam addon to Battlefield Bad Company 2.

It was not an extension of BF1942 but a new standalone game. And yes, it was a blast. Fantastic soundtrack, amazing chopper capabilities. The maps were small but quite detailed.

Technically, but BF1942 + Expansions and BF:Vietnam all ran the Refractor 1 Engine.

 

IIRC, Most of the early BF Games are constantly being given away for free on Origin during the Free game promos.
