I've been playing the Vietcong Multi-player demo for a couple of days now, and i have to say, wow. Everythin' about this game is great, game play, graphics, weapons, blood, sound ect... My only complaint is it takes a fair few shots to the body to take some body out.What do you think?

Yep, online games sure are starved in the area of original ideas.

You mean like online games where you shoot each other in teams?

I don't think its people running out of ideas as such, I just think Vietnam is new setting developers are beginning to exploit.

I think now we'll start to see more games based on that war and possibly other similar conflicts, and less games based on World War 2 which have been the main source of inspiration for developers over the past few years.

It happens all the time, it's called jumping the bandwagon.

I hate multiplayer demo's, so I'll leave my judgement of the game until I get to play a single player demo or read the first reviews. Looks great though.

Also, their will be another Vietnam based FPS coming out this year I think, and made by 2015 no less who did a great job on Allied Assault. I'm not sure whether it'll be a straight shoot em up like MOH or a realistic tactical squad based game like Vietcong, but I should good.
