Also over at PC.IGN this evening is a preview on Digital Illusions' upcoming action title, Battlefield: Vietnam. Here's a clipping:

There are a few more additions since last we saw the game. For one thing, there are now new and distinct loading screens and music for each level. While Quang Ti 1968 was loading we were treated to little "Surfin' Bird" and got the chance to read a little historical information about the battle. This kind of character was definitely missing from the original game where the battles seemed to take place in a kind of limbo. Here they're given a brief but effective context courtesy of a little summary. The graphics for each loading screen are composed of a number of period materials, both pictures and pamphlets, that really add a lot of character to the game.
