The game also gives the player the ability to fight the war from another perspective as a young Vietcong recruit fighting before and during the Tet Offensive. This campaign is unlocked when the player has completed a certain part of the American campaign.

Vietcong 2 received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1]

gollark: Yes... that is what I said...
gollark: So if the battery has a problem, it automatically dumps it.
gollark: Maybe have some sort of automatic ejection system.
gollark: Well, we can, but avian carriers have limited carrying capacity.
gollark: Better idea: charge batteries, shoot them to some other site with a railgun or something, discharge them on the other end, and send them back.
