I have such fond memories of this game from back in the day. I like the naval maps and being able to pilot the ships around, not just small patrol boats, actual ships.

I've tried other Battlefield games over the years. None felt near as fun as this and Vietnam. Even playing alone, the bots were decent enough to play against that I loved it. The few times I got to play LAN multiplayer have some of my favorite childhood memories in it. Driving a jeep straight at a tank and bailing while my friend was distracted shooting at the tank before it slams into and blowing up still brings a smile to my face after all these years.
