Men of War: Vietnam is a new game for the critically
acclaimed series. The new, story-driven campaign lets you taste the
explosive mix of the jungle, Hueys and rock-n-roll in 1968. The US
campaign focuses on a team of elite special ops soldiers, and each one
of them has a personality.
The unit includes Sergeant John
Merrill, machine-gunner Jim Walsh, sniper Sonny Armstrong, grenade
launcher operator Carl Dillan and combat engineer Bill Kirby. In some
missions they can count only on themselves, while in the others they act
together with regular US and South-Vietnamese troops.
The North Vietnam
campaign tells the story of two Soviet military consultants and two
soldiers of the North Vietnam Army who are the only survivors of an
ambush prepared by the US troops. The task of getting back to the North
Vietnam territory is a difficult one – they have no means of radio
communication, no wheeled vehicles, and it’s too far to make it there on
foot. On their way these survivors get involved in a chain of bloodbath
engagements and find themselves in the dead center of the well-known
Tet offensive.
Missions range from special operations (rescuing a shot-down pilot, escorting a reporter, etc.) to full scale battles.
Key Features
- There are two sides in every story, so two new story-driven campaigns attempt to show the war from both sides.

missions including an ambush on the Ho Chi Minh trail, a game of cat
and mouse in the Mekong Delta, raids into Cambodia and Laos, bridge
