The second installment in the popular Vietcong series, Vietcong 2 is a first-person shooter featuring competitive multiplayer for up to 64 players and co-op play for up to eight players. In the game, players battle across the ancient city of Hue, engaging in gritty, urban combat while utilizing more than 50 authentic weapons.

"Vietcong 2 is an excellent addition to the Vietcong franchise," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director of 2K Games. "The new multiplayer features, dual campaigns and urban environments will please both fans of the series and newcomers alike."
