While it’s a situational weapon, it’s devastating at close ranges, its power amplified by the fact that anyone trying to shoot you can only see an enormous fireball melting their face off.
Vietnam also includes 6 new vehicles and 15 new weapons, most notably, the flamethrower. The map may only have one vehicle, a PT boat in the middle of the map,but itcan single-handedly turn the tide of a battle. Sorry about getting poetic there, but it really is a fantastic looking setpiece. 137 is also visually stunning a massive waterfall silently rushes over rocks in the background, juxtaposed by Hill 137 itself, a smoldering crater covered in napalm, crowned with an enormous tower of smoke. Hill 137 is definitely Vietnam’s centerpiece, a fantastic map that hits all the bases: jungle combat, trenches, PT boats, rock outcroppings for snipers, it’s all here. A sucessor to the PC classic Battlefield Vietnam, BF:BC2: Vietnam introduces 4 new maps: Hill 137 (aka Hamburger Hill), Cao Son Temple, Phu Bai Valley, and Vantage Point (A fifth map, Battle for Hastings, will be unlocked once players have collectively reached 69,000,000 team play actions).
