Vietcong: Fist Alpha
Vietcong: Fist Alpha is an expansion pack for the computer game Vietcong. It was released in February 2004.
It is a prequel to Vietcong, occurring three months before the events of that game. In Fist Alpha you play the main character of Sergeant First Class Douglas Warren. All the members of the team from the original Vietcong are present initially except for Le Duy Nhut (Nick). The team's pointman and translator is Vietnamese Sergeant Nham Nguyen. He is killed in action during the attack on the Nui Pek base camp on 15 May 1967 and then he is replaced by Nhut.
Multiplayer
In addition to the linear campaign, the game features several stand-alone single player maps and network and online multiplay.
Multiplayer modes
- Capture the Flag (CTF) - players choose either US or VC side. Object is to capture the opponents flag and return to their flag while utilizing their combat skills.
- Cooperative (COOP) - Players enter each mission amongst other cooperative players. Every map can hold 6-12 players simultaneously. Voice chat (either in-game or externally hosted) is often utilized. The mission is to get the entire team through each map without losing a teammate. When a player perishes, they must watch the other players until the mission is won or lost. One of the members of the team is elected (or chooses to be) the Teamleader. The teamleader sets mission objectives and gives orders. Orders are typically followed by the remaining teammates. The community supports a multitude of user-made maps and missions.
- Deathmatch (DM) - Deathmatch is a free-for-all. When the map loads, the player locates a weapon. Once the weapon is found the player hunts for other players. Players score points according to how many kills they get, and also how many kills they get from frags(grenades).
- Team Death Match (TDM) - Same as Deathmatch, but in this game mode a player chooses to be on either team. The team then tries to eliminate all members of the opposing team within a time limit. Some time limits vary between 5 minutes per match or longer.
