Overview
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam delivers a brutally authentic representation of the Vietnam War, blending tactical realism with intense multiplayer action. It’s a true successor to Red Orchestra and the original Rising Storm, focusing on coordination, suppression, and asymmetric warfare.

Main Features & Gameplay
- Authentic weapon handling: Realistic recoil, bullet drop, and no crosshairs.
- Asymmetrical combat: U.S. air support vs. Viet Cong traps and tunnels.
- Large-scale maps: From dense jungles to open fields, featuring helicopters and napalm strikes.
- Team coordination: Leadership roles, voice commands, and map-based strategy.
