Another Battlefield Vietnam preview has popped up over at GameSpy this evening, taking a look at Digital Illusions' upcoming first person shooter. Here's a clipping:

As in Desert Combat, Vietnam's choppers take a bit of training to get used to, but in the hands of a skilled pilot (many of EA's testers definitely qualify), they're an awesome weapon, capable of quickly ferrying soldiers from one point to another. And although we never got to perform the maneuver ourselves, we did get to see the chain drop in action on one occasion: it's pretty startling to see a tank dangling in mid-air from the bottom of a helicopter, and it should provide many interesting new strategies once teams get the hang of it. Like BF1942, Battlefield Vietnam will contain support for offline play against computer-controlled bots; there's a good chance we'll be logging in some hours getting our pilot's license.
