Guide Review - Vietcong
Jungle warfare is not the easiest thing to recreate in an FPS action gameDetailed vegetation, for example, tends to weigh down frame rates and make one long for the box-like environments of Counter-StrikeWithout completely thrashing frame rates, Vietcong captures the setting very well, right down to branches that chip when you shoot them and rain with splash effectsNaturally, this game focuses on stealth tactics, tunnel warfare, and soldier on soldier firefights

As often as not you don't even see the player that kills you, as they are lying hidden behind a bush somewhereToo bad the multiplayer maps have some flaws, such as weapons caches and spawn points that are easily camped, but the gaming community is likely to fix that soon.
