Vietcong 2

Vietcong 2 is the sequel of the tactical first person shooter "Vietcong". As in the first edition, the player will take the lead of a Special Force's team of the US army during the Vietnam War, as the Captain Daniel Boone. Differently from is predecessor, this time is possible to play as vietcong in a short secondary campaign. Both US and vietcong campaign wil take place during the "Tet offensive" in the Januar '68, around the city of Hue.

Arsenal mangement:
During the single player campaigns the player is allowed to transport a knife, a handgun, two primary weapon and a lot various equipment (two type of handgrenades, C4 explosves, LAW and a first-aid kit).With few exception, the non-playing character haven't a "fixed" weapon but a casually selected weapon: it's easily notable that the most part of the enemy may be equipped with different guns each time you play a mission. Also can be noted some "weapon groups" for this variations: earlier Viet Cong may spaw armed with a SKS or a MAT-49 or a PPSh-41, NVA soldier and later Viet Cong are armed with a SKS or a Vzor 58 or an AK-47, VC machinegunners may have a Vzor 59 or a RPD-44 for example.The exceptions are the teammate, the snipers, the RPG gunners and the Viet Cong armed with the IZH-43. However these last two gunman drop a casually generated handgun.
Another notably odd (and ghastly) thing is that the most part of the weapon are chambered with a wrong caliber, but all these error will be described in the weapon details.

The following list contains all the weapons that can be used or see in Vietcong 2:

US Army/ARVN weapons

The most part of this weapon are obviously of US manufacture, but due the presence of Australian army soldiers in game (the team's medic Cobber is australian) is possible see (and use) english weapons of Australian ordnance

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

Main U.S. pistol, is a standard equipment in most missions of the U.S. single player campaign. Rare see it used by U.S. Army soldiers in single player but the Viet Cong armed shotgun or RPG-7 may drop it after killing. As in Vietcong is the most common siederarm for the U.S. multiplayer classes.

S&W model 27

Special forces siderarm, it's really accurate and seems to be reloaded using speedloaders. Despite in multiplayer it's described correctly as a .357 Magnum, the ammo found for it are named .38 Special (useble without problem on thi gun, but notoriously less powerfull) but still have more stopping power than a standard Colt .45. As the M1911A1 it may be dropped by some Viet Cong and in multy player is the pistol equipped to U.S. "Infanterist" and "Medic" classes and Viet Cong "Fighter" and "Medic" classes.

S&W Mark 22 Model 0 "hush puppy"

Appear as "S&W Mod.39(sil.)" is equipped with a silencer. Oddly it shares the .45ACP ammunition of the M1911A1 instead of the correct 9x19 NATO, same error made in Vietcong. It is equipped in a few mission in the U.S. campaign and is the standard pistol for the U.S. sniper in multiplayer.
