Vietcong 2 is the sequel of the tactical first person shooter Vietcong.
As in the first edition, the player will take the lead of a Special Forces team of the US Army during the Vietnam War, as the Captain Daniel Boone. Differently from is predecessor, this time is possible to play as a Vietcong in a short secondary campaign and act the part of Minh, a young Vietnamese from an unknown village in South Vietnam. Both US and Vietcong campaigns take place during the "Tet offensive" in January '68, around the city of Hue.
Arsenal management:
During the single player campaigns the player is allowed to transport a knife, a handgun, two primary weapon and a lot various equipment (two type of hand grenades, C4 explosives, LAW and a first-aid kit). Differently from Vietcong the player cannot choose his starting equipment during the campaign, this possibility is present only in the "Single Mission" mode, where the gamer can play the missions one by one. With few exception, the non-playing character haven not a "fixed" weapon but a casually selected weapon: it's easily notable that the most part of the enemy may be equipped with different guns each time you play a mission. Also can be noted some "weapon groups" for this variations: earlier Vietcong may spawn armed with a SKS or a MAT-49 or a PPSh-41, NVA soldier and later Vietcong are armed with a SKS or a SA Vz.58 or an AK-47, VC machine gunners may have a SA Vz.58 or a RPD-44 for example.The exceptions are the teammate, the snipers, the RPG gunners and the Vietcong armed with the Baikal IZH-43. However these last two gunman drop a casually generated handgun.
Another notably odd (and ghastly) thing is that the most part of the weapon are chambered with a wrong caliber, but all these error will be described in the weapon details.
