INTERVIEW: Battlefield Vietnam

Digital Illusions takes us on a tour of the successor to its smash hit PC game Battlefield 1942

17:52 Having struck the right chord with PC gamers with a penchant for multiplayer action with its World War II-themed title Battlefield 1942, developer Digital Illusions - well, subsidiary Digital Illusions Canada to be precise - is gearing up to delight us once again with 1942's full-blown sequel: Battlefield Vietnam.

Retaining Battlefield 1942's highly successful core gameplay and Hollywood-esque action and upping the ante with plenty of new features and engine enhancements, Battlefield Vietnam finds players fighting for either US or NVA and Vietcong forces and combating in representations of some of the conflict's most fierce battles.

Sounds good? Oh yes. Battlefield Vietnam producer A.J. Marini recently took a time-out from a busy schedule to tell us more about what's coming.
