Rising Storm 2: Vietnam thumbnail

Continuing the Tripwire tradition of providing strong support for games post-launch, Vietnam has already been updated multiple times, providing the player with:

64-player battles
6 different armies to play, each with their own weapons and abilities:
United States Army and Marine Corps
North Vietnamese Army (PAVN) and National Liberation Front (Viet Cong)
Australian Army
Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN)
Over 50 weapons, covering everything from rifles and pistols to flamethrowers and rocket launchers
4 flyable helicopters - Huey, Cobra, Loach and Bushranger
Asymmetric warfare - VC traps and tunnels vs. US napalm and choppers
More than 20 maps
3 distinct game-modes
Proximity VOIP
And hundreds of character customization options.

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam offers intense action for up to 64 players in battles between the forces of South Vietnam (the US and their Allies) and those of the North - the regular, main-force units of North Vietnamese Army, plus the guerilla fighters of the National Liberation Front (or Viet Cong).

SOUTHERN FORCES - US, Australian and ARVN

The Southern forces have firepower and mobility on their side, with each army having its own unique supporting arms:

US Army/Marine Corps - airburst artillery, the Spooky gunship and napalm strikes
Australian Army - Pair of Canberra bombers and heavy artillery
ARVN - medium mortar barrage and napalm strikes from older A-1 Skyraiders

For mobility, they have access to full helicopter support:

UH-1 “Huey”: provides rapid transport for a squad across the map
OH-6 “Loach”: acts as both a spotter and airborne command post, as well as a fast gunship, with its miniguns
AH-1G “Cobra”: heavily-armed gunship with massive firepower for a pilot and weapons officer
Australian “Bushranger”: a Huey, with dual M60 machine guns, minigun and rockets

Tactically, the Southern squad leaders become important - so long as the squad leader is alive and in a smart location, the rest of his squad can spawn in on his location. So keep your squad leaders alive at critical moments!

As for weapons, the Southern forces had a wide range of the best weaponry of Western nations, ranging from older, WWII-era leftovers, through to the latest technology of the time:

M1 Garand, M2 Carbine, M3 “grease gun”, BAR and M1919 .30-cal LMG
M14 Battle Rifle, M40 and XM21 sniper rifles
M60 LMG and M16 automatic rifle
For heavier support - the M79 grenade launcher and M9A1-7 flamethrower
Explosives - M61 frag grenade, M8 smoke, C4 explosives and M18 Claymore

NORTHERN FORCES - NVA and VC

The Northern forces offer a broader mix, with the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN - or NVA) as the regular, disciplined and better-equipped main fighting force, in comparison to the National Liberation Front (NLF) guerrilla fighters, equipped with whatever weaponry was passed down the chain to them from Russia and China - known as the Viet Cong. For supporting weapons each has:

PAVN/NVA - heavy artillery, surface-to-air missile defenses and rapid reinforcement from the Ho Chi Minh trail
NLF/VC - a mix of ordnances (mortars, rockets, white phosphorous) used in a heavy barrage

To compete with the Southern forces’ mobility, the Northern forces have their own mobility - and stealth:

NVA and VC squad leaders can place spawn tunnels widely across the maps, allowing themselves and their squads to spawn much closer to the action - or even behind the lines
Given their “home field advantage”, any NVA or VC crouching or prone in cover can’t be spotted by Southern helicopters or aircraft
SA-2 Missiles - the quick way to counter Southern air assets is by calling on surface-to-air missiles, if the commander can time it right
“Ho Chi Minh Trail” ability - the NVA/VC commander can activate this ability to accelerate his team’s spawning rate, when times get desperate
“Ambush Spawn” ability - the NVA/VC commander can also cause anyone on his team who is waiting, to spawn on his location for potentially devastating ambushes.

The weaponry for the Northern forces is wide-ranging - the PAVN well-equipped with modern weapons delivered from Russia and China, while the VC have to work with a wide variety of weapons:

AK-47 and Type 56 Assault rifles
Russian SKS-45 and US M1 Carbines and Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle
MN 91/30 and SVD sniper rifles
PPSh-41 and French MAT-49 SMGs
IZh-58 double-barrelled shotgun
DP-28 and RPD LMGs
RPG-7 rocket launcher
MD-82 toe-popper mines, Tripwires and Punji traps

The game as a bug that make the level up impossible it’s been 3 time I pass level 2 and it’s still think him level 1 and also the dev abandon the game so this will never be fix by them but it’s sad I love it but the bug have made it bad

Worked like a charm, also easy to see that it was in fact the game of the year addition. No complaints thank you very much. This is now me just filling in space as it is the only way i can leave a review :D

2022-08-18T03:14:33-0400

This game is very fun but there is a bit of a learning curve for new members. Rather then that, I highly recommend this to any avid gamer to have in their library. The game features rather large battles with 32 v 32.

Excellent game, very realistic, so many opprotunities. You can be a helicopter p[ilot and fly the legendary huey, the attack one, or the littlebird, and the grand helicopter: the cobra. You can also be vietcong and be tricky with traps, or take a rocket propelled grenade launcher and shoot down helicopters.10/10

the game could use some new content and funner game modes but its an awsemone game

and the songs are awsome and the napalm make the game complete and got you singing RUNING THROUGH THE JUNGLE all night long

fun game
nice people
fast and imersive gameplay
not a big player base

2019-11-10T11:06:32-0500

Great game for anyone who loves realism and tactical gameplay in First Person Shooters. The game is better in my opinion than its previous titles in the series as it moves into the Vietnam conflict. If you are a fan of the Vietnam war and first person shooters I definitely recommend this game.

Good graphics

Rising Storm 2 is pretty much Battlefield in Vietnam War era, has similar mods with capturing enemy points and holding them and fighting off the enemies. It has plenty of bugs crashing being the most often one but overall game feels good to play.

If you like tactical FPS than what are you waiting for. This is the perfect game at a perfect price. Just don't spend your lunch money for a day and boom you have enough to buy the game of your dreams...

Awesome entry in Tripwire's red orchestra/rising storm series. The community is great, the gameplay is smooth and acomplishes the fel of realism and the guns feel authentic. The only thing I wish this game had is destructible enviroment, would be awesome to see trees and plants burned to a crisp after a naplam strike or cover destroyed after an artilery barage. If you like realistic shooters I would deffinetely recommend buying this game.

2018-11-03T06:52:46-0400

A great game with a great community. A lot of chaos, bullets and fire. It has a lot of modes with its varietys and a lot of things you can modify with skins and items created by the community in the workshop

Great online
Good functions
HArd to understand at the beginning

2018-06-27T06:49:46-0400

This game is very fun to play with friends. by sticking together and communicate with other squads you will have a blast of a time. Graphics aren't that high so everyone can enjoy the game. It laks a bit of content though (only 2 modes). worth every cent you spend on it.

graphics are duable

2017-12-27T14:15:46-0500

This game is fun and HOT.
there is a lot of teamwork if you wanna win you are better off with a mic
Charlie is everywhere so watch the bushes
always have your bayonet ready to stabbie stabb
watch out

Runs on my Quadro 600
Its fun
its realistic
helicopters hurt
artillery hurts
grenades hurt

2017-12-18T19:55:19-0500

It is not possible to make a difference between the enemy and the ally in the battle. You never know who killed you and how. A very difficult game. If they don't fix that, there is no fun at all! You have constantly to crouch and to be under some pressure! The impression is that you are in a real war!! Currently - wasted money!

Not demanding graphics
Sound
Gameplay - no fun at all!
Difficulty
Can't choose weapon!!!
Impossible to spot enemy
I'm very disappointed, everyone is complaining about the same things

2017-09-25T15:01:27-0400

A very good game to continue the Rising Storm saga. You'll find the same mechanics of Red Orchestra, but with some new gameplay possibilities. Carefull, this game is made to be "realistic", do not buy it if you're searching a FPS arcade game.

Good optimization
very good gameplay

2017-07-05T17:09:15-0400

Very good game for anyone who loves realistic FPS. I really recommend it even thought there's still some bugs here & there. The different roles plus the commander, the asymmetric armies squad based, in town or in the jungle, helicopter, bombardments... This is just freaking awesome!

Realism
Asymmetric armies
Vietnam!
A few bugs that can be annoying from time to time

2017-06-07T05:49:05-0400

Nice and fun game for few bucks, many player on it, it more like an arcade game than a realistic game for me. You can do pretty good action tho. the fact that you can dig the ground is interesting ^^ .

Very fun
Many players
Not enough maps
Graphics are not so good

2017-05-31T13:38:46-0400

A great successor to Red Orchestra 2, although it still lacks content but I am sure we will see a lot for free in the future!
If you want a great tactical game that's not so heavy as Arma, or you just want a good Vietnam war game to remember the good old Battlefield:Bad Company 2 Vietnam days take it now before it runs out of stock!
