The issue with Vietcong is that the hardest setting, which is the coolest and most authentic way to play, is ruined by the horrible solo missions. Crawling through a tunnel with a colt occasionally, sure. But then you have missions where you have to fight whole VC camps filled with machinegunners, and with angry guerillas that pop into existence behind you.

Vietcong shined in multiplayer with coop missions on custom maps. The campaign was also good, but like you said those tunnel missions sucked. :M

Since he doesn't even mention it I can't be sure if the early difficulty spike in Armies of Exigo was real or I'm misremembering it.

Or, similarly, I looked at a company's website (one of thyssenkrupp's) yesterday. It was absolutely awful. Why would any serious and competent worker ever apply there?
Usually, the shoddier the website, the less I'll have to deal with HR during recruitment - which is one hell of a reason.

Good, now make it into an rpg.
MACV-SOG classes, machine gunner, sniper and infiltrator, demolitionist and military engineer, etc.
How the fuck could they not make something cool out of this?
There is potential here.
