Just ordered this from a certain site...is it any good? It looks quite good, and I'm in full Vietnam mode from watching Platoon the other night. Gonna get me some poontang.

Black Hawk Down is good as well, not as good as I'd have hoped but still fun. The Black Hawk Down missions at the end are the best though.

I'm enjoying Black Hawk Down and am currently on the mission where you have to make a beach landing (which is mined) under mortar fire. I've been blown up more times than a computer science nerd at uni's rubber doll.

Anyway, I too have now ordered Vietcong (for a £10) and I am very much looking forward to being blown up by them.

The Delta Force films are just a stupid as the games, unrealistic, bland and unoriginal but fun if you leave your brain elsewhere.

Don't diss the Delta Force films - they're one of a kind.
Sort of.

What?

If you're looking for realism, I'd say Chuck Norris is the wrong way to go. Except that film where he drives the jeep out of the grave. I did that, once, so it must be true.

How is it not tactical? Because it isn't realistic. So 1 shot kills and you have to select your own weapon, but counter to what you may know about US Special Forces, Delta Force do not work in small groups of at least 2 people. It's more like the game version of the Chuck Norris Action film which funnily enough is also called Delta Force where he bravely charges through the middle east killing thousands of terrorists with not much as a scratch to himself.

Fun games certainly, but not tactical shooters. They're more fast paced first person shooters with tactical pieces here and there, nothing more.

And good to hear your enjoying the game Monkey Man, if you like the earlier mission you should love the later levels, you even get to drive a jeep at one point and even man the machine gun of a huey helicopter.

I'm not even going to bother.

Look at me, I'm parachuting yet my aiming is perfect.
Ooh, now I'm standing upright with a 10 tonne sniper rifle in my hands, and the crosshair isn't waivering in the slightest!
I'm jumping up and down, but my aiming is accurate as hell! YeY!

Hmm.

1 hit kills
you choose equipment

you are suposed to use the right gun for each mission (although the machine gun/grenade launcher ruins it by having the advantages of a sniper rifle lots of ammo and lots of fire rates as well as explosives)

but apart from that machine gun/grenade problem how isnt it tactical?
