Gathering of Developers, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., has flipped the switch on the "Vietcong" website. All the latest screenshots, downloads, and features are available at www.vietcong-game.com. Set during the Vietnam War, "Vietcong" for the PC is a first person shooter with tactical elements. The game is expected to invade store shelves Winter 2002.

Acting as an elite soldier, players of "Vietcong" command the A-team, part of the U.S. Special Forces, in realistically represented Vietnamese environments. Players will lead as many as six expertly trained soldiers through 20 dramatic missions, and follow a storyline that captures the danger, fear and the unpredictability of the war. The full-featured multiplayer mode also allows gamers to play as U.S. Special Forces or Vietcong soldiers and battle over specially designed levels.

In "Vietcong," the player chooses from more than 25 weapons, including M16's, grenade launchers and sniper rifles. Players can order air strikes or ambush enemy patrols, but success ultimately depends on their ability to keep a level head in the thick of intense jungle action.
