I love games like **Medal of Honor** and **Call of Duty**. I’ve been wanting to pick up a Vietnam-era shooter for a while now, but I’d like to get some opinions from Doper gamers about the titles that are out there. I’d be playing the game on a Windows machine…so, any recommendations? ---

A quick look at Gamerankings of the PC titles with Vietnam in them turns up a few, but the reviews don’t look so hot. I’m sure there are others with more original names that didn’t turn up in the search. Sorry I can’t get a link to the search results directly, but the function doesn’t create a direct url of the resulting list. ---

Battlefield Vietnam was pretty cool, but only if you like Battlefield-esque gameplay. It’s not like Medal of Honor/Call of Duty. You might want to try a demo first.
