- Story/Description:
| Quote: | WELCOME TO HELL
During our training in Recondo, we were instructed that having found ourselves at gun point, seemingly with no chances of survival, we should smile at our foe. Surprised by such behaviour, he would hesitate for a fraction of a second. This unbelievably short period of time meant the fine line between death and life. It gave way for other arguments and we had full cartridges of them. We would kill hundreds of enemies this way, leaving behind dead bodies, with the eyes telling the story of surprise and our smiling faces.
By no means was it an ordinary war. Our foe was faceless, bereft of identity. The whole Vietnam was our enemy. Its climate, terrain, mud, jungle, mosquitoes and short, weird inhabitants, armed with Chinese weapons and unreal ideals.
In terms of military strength, we outpowered the enemy. We had state-of-the-art technology, napalm, helicopters, artillery support, communications, supplies of equipment. No way we could lost? Way. It is hard to imagine any army capable of defeating foe who is nowhere and everywhere at the same time, foe who fights on his own ground, which for us was hostile, alien and hard to understand. With time, we learnt some rules of that world, we grasped the gist of fighting there. However, it was primarily the fight for survival.
Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the communists in Vietnam, once said: you can kill ten of my men with the loss of just one of yours, but you will still lose, and I shall prevail. At the early stages of war in Vietnam, we treated those words as a madman's babble. Towards the end, we had to acknowledge they were true.
In October 1967, having spent some time training at a school for special forces in Nha Trang, I was transferred to a temporary military base in Don Dien, as the leader of a distant recon squad of four men. We all had been in service for long, trained in sabotage, communication and intel. We were invisible to those who themselves tried to be invisible. We were the assassins of killers. Ready to bite. Yet, the winter offensive of North Vietnam army smashed our teeth.
In 1968, a base located on the hill outside Don Dien found itself on the marching route of a regular communist army, preparing for the strike on the ancient, imperial city of Hue - the Binh Tri Thien province capital.
Al. Capone used to say that you can win more if you supplement outspoken words with a gun. We were not trained to give speeches. As for the guns, we had plenty of them... |

Looks like a crappy war-game clone. Oh well, at least it ain't WW2.

This image looks like a 800x600 image resized and blurred to hide all the aliasing (i.e. on the roof, on the fence and on the jar)...

City Interactive mades low budget and very cheap poor games like Terrorist Takedown, Terrorist Takedown: War In Colombia, Chickenator(lol), Battlestrike: The Road to Berlin, Redneck Kentucky and The Next Generation Chickens (lolx2) etc. They all costs ~ 5 euro and they not even worth it. Don`t bother with this.
They look after 3D Artist/Level Designer. I saw job annoucement today. Definitely they need one

The Hell that is the Hell in Vietnam can go to hell. This game sucks ass - obvious without even playing it. The atari 2600 had better graphics than this shit.

Looks pretty low-budget to me. They propably can't even afford a heavy protection !

Uses Chrome engine so it might be not so bad... but I bet this one will have starforce on it since they are too poor not to use it even if it takes half of the budget.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice the detachable carry handle on that M16A1(Notice the knobs).No M16A4's existed back in those days.LMFAO Really poor historical research.

Funny how all declare that the game is shit, most only by looking at the graphics.
There's a lot of old fps with crappy graphics but wonderful gameplay.
Graphics is overrated. It's nice with good gfx, but it's pretty fucking far from the thing that makes a good game.
Har knullat med Anne Frank.

That'd be as bad as it would be good. I love fried chicken but man....you'd need a paycheck to buy something to wash it down with  |
