September 24, 201213 yr http://blogscdn.battlefield.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/blogheader.png The 10th anniversary celebrations continue! We are showcasing classic trailers from the series, and now the turn has come to Battlefield Vietnam from 2004. Below is one of the great trailers for Battlefield Vietnam, created by DICE Senior Video Editor Roland Smedberg. “It was epic working with Vietnam era musicand we got the fun factor across as well†Roland Smedberg remembers: “It was epic working with true Vietnam era music. And even though we had an epic soundtrack with songs like Fortunate Sun, Surfin’ Bird and Ride of the Valkyries, we still managed to get the fun factor across as well. In this trailer at around 43 seconds, you can see a shot of a soldier running in a comical fashion. It was the perfect touch to the trailer, I think.†http://blogscdn.battlefield.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Vietnamplaque-300x300.jpgCreative Director Lars Gustavsson with the celebratory plaque for having sold 3 million units worth of Battlefield in March 2004 (Photo taken today). Battlefield Vietnam Retrospective (this piece originally produced for www.dice.se) Following up on the huge success with Battlefield 1942, DICE took their online first person shooter into the Vietnam War era. The strongly themed standalone title Battlefield Vietnam had an iconic soundtrack, increased firepower, modernized weaponry and vehicles, and a deep infantry experience from the jungles to the beaches of Vietnam. Players could go to war in new dramatic battle scenarios including leading a squadron of helicopters in an all-out attack on an enemy compound, executing an ambush of enemy soldiers from dense foliage, and captaining a patrol boat through a dangerous jungle river passage. The asymmetrical setup of the two teams mirrored the actual conflict and gave an interesting twist to the battles. Being one of the most loved scenarios among Battlefield players, DICE would later revisit the Vietnam War setting in 2010’s wildly popular Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam.
