Hey guys,

I couldn't see a Vietcong2 forum so ill ask here:

What do you guys think of the game?, is it worth the money?

Hmmm...I have it at home, but have yet to install it.

Will do when I get home from school, and then I can post what I think.

I've had VC2 for a wee while and it’s not worth getting right now.

The Single Player is not all that good compared to that of VC1s, the urban setting just doesn't seem to work as well as the Jungle and SP also seems to lag a lot even very high spec PCs.

The Multi Player is a mixed bag. It can be fun but there needs to be a patch to fix bugs and sort out some balance issues with weapons like the M-79 and RPG. Also there is very few maps neither of which are real "classics". The co-op mode is not bad but the lack of maps really hurts the mode.(only 4 co-op maps)

Hopefully after a patch and the map editor/mod tools are out things should improve but I wonder if there will be many players left when this stuff arrives since there weren't many in the first place and there is a cd-key kick issue right now the MP that needs fixed fast.

So if your looking a for a fps set in Vietnam and don't have the first VC, I would get that plus the expansion pack Fist Alpha.

I couldn't get the demo to run well on my computer, yet the technology used feels very similar to the first game. It seems like Vietcong 2 was rushed and it just doesn't have the quality that the first possessed.

Coop in the first one was amazing (Probably one of the best coop games created in the last five years), but from what I heard about the second it was mediocre.

Yeah i love the first ones single player... And i loved being able to call in arit in MP.

I thought the unlocking the class thing was pretty neat from what i saw in VC2 demo.
