On the eve of the Tet Offensive a young Special Forces operative is sent to recover a CIA officer from Chau Doc, near the Cambodian border. Unfortunately for him, the Vietnamese get there first. It's up to you to retrieve and rescue the CIA agent before the Communists can smuggle him over the border to North Vietnam, while the biggest enemy offensive of the Vietnam War is unleashed and all hell is breaking loose around you.
Featuring an innovative health system, where every action causes fatigue, players need to pace themselves to ensure they have the energy for the brutal combat ahead. Taking damage will cause fatigue levels to increase much more quickly and also impair movement and firing accuracy. Luckily non-fatal wounds can be healed, thus giving soldiers back their edge in the field.
