Conflict: Vietnam is a squad-based tactical shooter where you command a four-man team through missions set during the Vietnam War. You control soldiers with distinct roles—medic, heavy weapons specialist, sniper, and rifleman—switching between them to use their specific abilities. Missions involve objectives like rescuing POWs, destroying enemy installations, and surviving ambushes in jungle environments. The game emphasizes coordinated tactics: you'll position team members for suppressing fire, flank enemy positions, and call in airstrikes. Combat plays out in real-time, though you can pause to issue orders. Between firefights, you navigate dense vegetation and village settings. The series' signature mechanic returns—direct control of any squad member while AI handles the others, or micromanage all four simultaneously.
