60 of 66 · most liked firstThis is not your typical "guns blazing" or "shoot everything that moves" type of game. I call this a thinking man's game. Some reviews call this game monotonous, and while I can see how that could be the case, that was not the case for me. Yes, stealth is about 75% of the game, but let's be honest, much of Vietnam was either napalm airstrikes or stealth patrols, and you don't fly a plane in this game, so stealth is it. Side note: I enjoy the geographical and historical background. It really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Line of Sight: Vietnam Line of Sight: Vietnam / Developer: NFusion Interactive / Release Date: 5 Mar, 2003 I can confirm that the game works in Windows 10 and also it has ultra wide screen support - playing on 2560x1080 !!! No iron sight / the keys can be rebind / on last difficulty 1 shot means 1 kill or death if the enemy sees you / the graphics look great for a 2003 title and the amount of vegetation and the way it is rendered ( which is the main strength of this game ) really works in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tinkering with (yet another) miinatures game idea and once again Line of Sight is the Gordian knot of games design. Unfortunately, these days we just can't get away with 'Don't be arses about it'.
unlabelledView post →pros: - It's impressive that a 2003 game runs fine with modern Win 10 PC. - You can barely see enemies even while they're shooting, but it makes sense... - ...because it's Vietnam. Yes, jungle. That's why we want this sort of game, right? - One shot, one kill. Both for you and enemies. cons: - You can just run and climb up higher and higher, then game becomes too easy. - Also you can run infinitely. If enemies are some far away, you can just run away. - It's really hard to shoot heads. I've…

You cannot go stealth against a sniper unless he's hiding behind trees where his line of sight is broken. On open areas, the only way to get an advantage is to turn off fog. You also lose if you just use first person, 3rd person is required Clipping is real, you jiggle when near corners/rocks. After 3rd mission, I just…

An enemy will be pointing somewhere while prone yet still hit you Any time they are prone, they'll start to glitch out Music is average Overall, it's ♥♥♥♥ so get something else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old isn’t always gold. As someone who is very nostalgic for older games, especially from the 1990s-2000s, people praise a game just because they exist. Line of Sight: Vietnam is one of them. When you strip away the early-2000s novelty, you’re left with a barely functional tactical shooter that wants to be Ghost Recon: Vietnam but fails. The game gives you two settings: - Arcade: You’re a bullet sponge. So is the NVA and VC. You may as well just run and gun. - Realistic: You get hit in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is good, but I think "Vietcong" (also released in 2003) is WAY better. It's highly recommended for nostalgics or if you are interested in Vietnam War. Not suitable for Hippie-friendly snowflakes. Ken Burns, you can kiss my *ss!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, everybody is playing CoD Modern Warfare 2 these days, and what do i do? Play a crappy budget Vietnam shooter originally released for Xbox all the way back in 2003? Damn right, only that it‘s surprisingly not that crappy. Let’s start with the obvious: A story is not really there in Line of Sight Vietnam. You’ll get some diary entries / inner monologue of your character in the mission briefing- and debriefing screens, apart from that it is just a linear sequence of 12 rather unconnected…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was made in 2003. So the game has its age and doesn't have any PERFECT mechanic or gameplay like today modern games. Pros: + It has most common guns during the Vietnam War. + You have to play stealth and spam alot of those "Quick Save" button cuz enemies are stealth with you as well. + It contains VIETNAMESE BAD WORDS. I laughed hard when the Viets Soldiers say that " son of the b i t c h" + It is my childhood. I am vietnamese myself. I was naive kid who came to game shops and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Depending on the difficulty and damage realism settings the game is either obnoxiously easy or obnoxiously hard, there's no middle ground. The enemy can both detect and shoot you through dense foliage cover, at night, in pouring rain. Good luck finding them in order to shoot back. But if you dial the difficulty down to Easy and damage to Arcade you'll be absorbing enemy fire like you're Robocop or something. I had to do it to be able to actually play through the game. But I was impressed by…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: Delta Force : Vietnam. Multiple weapons and items can be carried and selected with number keys or cycled through with Page Up and Down. Stance is controlled with 3 dedicated keys (default 'Z' , 'X' , 'C' , as with Delta Force and ARMA 1 and 2). Also similar to early Delta Force games is that partial reloads are discarded, so it's generally best to just fire until empty. Enemies move toward player when engaged, and are very adept at lowering stance and hiding in the terrain while doing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Line of Sight: Vietnam is an above average bargain shooter with various strengths and weaknesses. You can either play from a first person perspective or third....and wholeheartedly recommend that you do the latter. It gives you a better view of your surroundings and you'll need all of the advantages that you can get. The scenery is rendered pretty well....but it's not really designed to protect you from the AI of the enemy troops. Every time you move through the brush....you make noise....and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a game almost 20 years old, this game held up pretty well, even though the design aesthetics and gameplay are from the yesteryears. Combine that with a hellish first mission and it's not surprising this game was NOT noob-friendly. As an US army special forces sniper, you are dropped into Vietnam with your fellow spotter, virtually alone, to accomplish missions in any way you see fit. Against you is the wild terrain, where enemies can be hidden above any rock and behind any bush. Traps can…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I launched Line of Sight: Vietnam thinking, “Alright, time to be a stealthy, disciplined special forces soldier.” Five minutes later I’m crawling through bushes, get spotted by a guy I swear wasn’t even facing me, and immediately panic-fire my entire magazine into a tree. Elite soldier, by the way. This game basically says: “Move slow. Think smart. Don’t do anything stupid.” Meanwhile I’m over here tripping alarms like it’s a hobby. Stealth? Great. Sniping? Surprisingly satisfying. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I was a kid, I played better games on my Gameboy. Gameplay: It's just as bad as Elite Warrior, and its only goal is to make me remember why I hated Xbox. Slow gameplay and pitiful gunfighting. In the early 2000s, I used to play games like Timesplitters 1 and 2 and GTA Vice City. I don't know why anyone would be interested in these games, and I don't know why they update games that have never been good games. The game won't shut down, I have to stop the PC to close this thing. It's…

The grafhics still impressive if you considering how old it is. The rain and vietcong voices sound in the jungle make you thinq that you are realy there... I still play this game online with my friend using HAMACHI software that allow you to create a LAN HOUSE and play together. I bought the game again so I can have on my STEAM. I highly…

unlabelledView post →Line of Sight: Vietnam is one of those early 2000s tactical shooters that never became a household name but still left a distinct mark on the genre through its emphasis on patience, atmosphere, and grounded combat design. Developed by N-Fusion Interactive and now published by Ziggurat, the game transports players into the dense, disorienting jungles of the Vietnam War, placing them in the boots of a young sniper tasked with executing reconnaissance, rescue, and elimination missions far behind…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really despise this game. The difficulty doesn't really matter too much because you're squishy as ♥♥♥♥ no matter what difficulty unless you change the ingame time to kill but that just makes the enemies unreasonably bullet spongy. On top of that this game has a slow ass movement speed. I know Vietnam War games are kind of rare but this game is not worth it. The original Call of Duty came out the same year and it's aged a hell of a lot better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There even more men crawling in bushes, than in your mom's panties.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game in middle school. It's a neat little budget stealth FPS. The graphics are surprisingly good too especially for a budget game and I think they still hold up. What does not hold up is the draw distance. I always wished for a mod that removes this limitation. There's not much to say really. My only real criticism is the game's romanticization of the Vietnam war. It's no Platoon, Apocalypse Now or Full Metal Jacket. Modern Windows is also not too kind to the game. There's this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once the actual game engine starts, plays fine, feels like ARMA0. Didn't start on W10 until I put "vietnam.exe" into compatibility mode WinXPSP3. Like R6: Lockdown, there's a separate menu process that runs at a fixed 640x480 resolution. So enjoy waiting 30s every time you switch from the game to the menu. The game itself runs perfectly at 2560x1440, with tiny wee icons. If you try to close the window without going waiting through the menu screen again, menu will get stuck above all your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stupid game where you get constantly killed by invisible or 1 pixel size enemies in the distance. This type of game could have worked when you have sniper scopes or stealth options but the crawling movement is clunky as well. Top 10 worst fps material.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a poor game compared to Vietcong.

The game is pretty decent all things considered for its age and on windows7 laptop with pretty basic graphic card the game plays quite well with good speeds and all terrains…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very tough, constantly on edge wondering where the next enemy will come from. The controls are a little dated and feel very slow but gameplay is good and being able to use a wide variety of weaponry is always fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're expecting a run and gun Call of Duty type experience, skip this one. This is a full blown ♥♥♥♥ in the dirt stealth/tac shooter with absolutely zero regard for your overall enjoyment. But that being said, if you can appreciate an Operation Flashpoint/Hidden n Dangerous style of gameplay, this might be up your alley during a deeply discounted sale All of the problems you'll read about from more traditional gaming magazines are true. Team-mate AI is horrid, enemy AI is either the same…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually the Vietnam war is as a good setting for shooters, but this just isn’t fun. The game’s clearly meant to be played in third-person because your player’s not actually tall enough to see over the grass in most places, which sucks because I bought this game for the first person gameplay, yet enemies can see you even when prone amongst a field of six-foot reeds. The gunplay is mid at best, and enemies will often either oneshot you or do less than ten damage after emptying four mags in your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like being stun locked by enemies you can't see through foliage and that hit scan you then this game is for you. You will constantly wall hump on slight inclines, this wouldn't be so bad if there was a damn jump button. I'ts the combat simulator equivalent of a prostate inspection from the Hulk. Then again you might like the idea of that.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you. This, however, does not apply to this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. I wish I had the 0.2 hours I played this crap back. Do not wast your time or money. If this game were free, it still would not be worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game ever . Play anyway you want free range for roaming
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why is it called Line of Sight on the map but Line of Effect in the preview? I think the game only refers to Effect.
unlabelledView post →There is great idea of using stealth to ambush enemies in this game, but unfortunately the execution of this idea falls short. Since stealth is supposed to be a core gameplay mechanic, the game unfortunately cannot be recommended. Enemies simply can see you from too far away and from behind thick cover as well. If I remember correctly, in some missions it is nighttime and even then the enemies seemed to see me way too easily. If I had played this game around its release when I was younger,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like a sequel to Deadly Dozen, the budget tactical shooter series. But this time they added the ability to be concealed in grass. This works in comedic ways with enemies being right next to you and not being able to notice your squad crawling at their toes. Enemies have a tendency to spawn when you have performed some task you were set to do, sometimes in less subtle or fair ways. The missions are straightforward except for the last one when you have to climb a hill from a weird angle to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable. Couldn't get through the first contact of the first mission. Enemies see and shoot through mountains. Don't waste your time.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really really janky game with a lot of save scumming. This game is rough with pretty much everything with zero story. However I still beat it and come back to it the levels are big and full of hostiles and traps. I would only suggest buying this if you are ready for a budget slow shooter. The firefights are short and intense even if they are unfair.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like this game but I can't give it a thumbs up. You will not find a more passionately engaged Vietnam war gamer than me. The game play of this game though is just silly. You get stuck on rocks and struggle to get off them. The enemy usually one shots you in the forehead even when youre prone and hiding in a bush. I don't mind a really hard game but this made me laugh at how ridiculous it was. The best things honestly about this game are the atmosphere and the sound. Amazing.…
