Line of Sight: Vietnam is a 2003 Vietnam war oriented squad-based first-person shooter (FPS) video game developed by nFusion and published by Infogrames and Atari in March 2003 for Microsoft Windows.
Description
The game follows Pvt. Chris Egan, a sniper based in the 5th Special Forces compound in Nha Trang, Vietnam. In Line of Sight: Vietnam, the player is a member of the U.S. Army's Special Forces (also known as "The Green Berets") during the height of the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. The game involves 12 singleplayer missions, each with different objectives that must be accomplished in order to complete the mission. In the majority of the singleplayer missions, the player is accompanied by an AI squadmate who can be given commands/orders. The player can switch ingame to the squadmate and play the game from their perspective. There are 2 types of enemies in Line of Sight: Vietnam: North Vietnamese Army soldiers and Viet Cong guerillas. They are usually found in groups of 2-3 and are either stationary guards or moving patrols. Missions can take place at day or at night. There are over 10 different weapons in the game, and the player can use weapons that are dropped by enemy forces. The game can be played from both first-person and third-person perspectives. The player can switch between perspectives ingame. Apart from sniper rifles, all weapons in the game are shot from the hip and do not have playable ironsights. The cooperative multiplayer over LAN/Internet cannot be played anymore as it was based on GameSpy, which has since been shut down.
