The first online shooter to threaten Counter-Strike gets an upgrade and a new theater of operations.
Battlefield 1942 made some serious waves with its somewhat over-the-top portrayal of team-versus-team combat in World War II, and now EA plans to do it again in the steamy jungles of Vietnam. Not only does the game feature new vehicles (like the workhorse Huey helicopter and the MiG-21 fighter jet), but developer Digital Illusions has tossed in some new graphical tricks to make the whole thing look cooler.Vietnam was a different sort of conflict from WWII. Battlefield Vietnam features the ability to airlift tanks and other vehicles behind enemy lines or build booby traps to help thin out enemy troops. Battlefield veterans might want to keep an eye on this one.
