"Obviously Prairie Fire is an incredible creation for Arma 3, heads up to the entire team who made it happen, and I think it really made my year so far by the releases, so it's incredible how far Arma 3 could grow over the 8 years, thanks to the incredible user content and also the team that still keep supporting it in Bohemia, til this day."

Marek Španěl
CEO, Bohemia Interactive a.s.

In October 2018 I talked with the Prairie Fire devs about games and Vietcong. Now we all can look in awe, how this team reimagined the Vietnam War in Arma 3. It looks fantastic!

Basically perfect

Just poking around the map itself is wild, then you have the weapons, the vics, the stories in the missions, its nuts! It’s a bunch of fun and all super legitimate!

I dont think I've had this much fun in a game in a long a time

Stockey

Played 5 hours with you guys last night and loved every minute of it. Special thanks to you and the other devs and Alpha testers we played with for letting us loose on a server and for taking time to chat with us.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the DLC. Map, models, sounds, ambience and the play-styles were amazing. We could see how much time and effort you have put into it and it makes a huge difference.

Looking forward to playing this more and more.

I'll post a quick snippet from our Discord for the early uptakers, sure there'll be a lot more to follow...

[06:08] [TFA] Sgt. Stockey: That was epic fun

[06:08] [TFA] Capt. WolfHound: I've not had that much fun since Arma came out in 2013.

[06:09] [TFA] Cpl. Matt 'Beast' Bte: THE most fun ive had in arma in a long time

[06:10] [TFA] Cpl Thalo: i can't agree more gents. epic levels of fun. you can lose a whole day in here. 4 hours went by like it was nothing. the work these guys put in really can't be put into words. you have to get in and play it

[06:10] [TFA] SSgt. Fruitypebbz: Best moments of TFA by far and glad to have caught 4 hours on stream.

[06:29] [TFA] Pvt. Thomas: one of the best experience with arma, great community and a great DLC. thanks for an amazing night

[06:44] [TFA] 2nd Lt. Vazsholik: now THAT was alot of fun. and i havent seen all there is to do yet. this is how u make jungle warfare great

[08:23] [TFA] LCpl. Lortmil: So much fun! Really intense at times….each bush looks dangerous…sounds are great…visuals…and awesome radio broadcasts

POLPOX

My friend's impression (Japanese):

FPS' good enough; almost same performance with Tanoa
Props, buildings, vehicles have good enough atmosphere
Lot of incompatible doors with “Fluid/incremental door opening”　Mod
Since it has a lot close quarter situation, requires a lot of changing full/semi modes which causes an unintended melee
Weapons' feelings, sounds, animations pretty good. I think model is kinda rough, maybe?
The sights on vehicle seems aligned for First Person perspective yet needs to aim down sight via Right Click to shoot properly, which is kinda a smoke and mirror
Anti-Air Radar's interior is really good, however lock display is slightly misaligned (Not really sure what it does mean)
Maybe a game-balance issue but WW2 SMGs also had anti-jam approach. Yet every magazines expect AR box magazines have full rounds in this CDLC, which is kinda lack of consistency
In a Singleplayer mission, after reached to the frontline those soldiers got splashed by a mortar round, seems a classic “unreasonable turnover” like was in A2PMC, A3 Adapt which makes me laugh
Showcase has an abort-save while SP mission doesn't. Feels wrong
Pretty sad that this is A3 not DayZ since those weapons have a lot of way to load rounds which don't have actual functionality, such like one-shot pistol, pump action, bolt action, clip feedings...
Lotta types of grenades, lotta fun. Flechette rounds are pretty good to mow enemies in the jungles thanks to its wide-area attack ability

EvilOrgan

From the main menu right through to the soundtrack, this CDLC has a lot of Soul.

FUBAR

Night combat in Mike Force is spectacular . Aircraft doing fire missions, flares hanging in the dark sky, tracers flying every which way, it’s intense. The map is also very well done. I havent spent much time at all of the major cities, but Hue in-particular is a great representation. You can look at an arial map of the city from that time, and the layout of the MACV base, bridge, Citadel, MACV Hotel, and gas station are spot on. Great attention to detail.

eggbeast

James ShortenWow, this is the first time I got to see the video game in action.
Very well done. Very realistic...
It brought tears to my eyes remembering a few of the battles I was in...

Absolutely killer experience! Never knew I needed this so much, I haven't had an experience like this since Battlefield Vietnam 2004... I'm still barely exploring even half of the map, I've been playing the shit out of Mike Force, and that's truly a new experience worth trying. I don't know what you guys did, but the magic works on your AI in that mission. They're unlike any other experience with AI in Arma. They actually play almost like players and it blows my mind. Especially with how they try and seal the gap/press you. In addition to placing their molotovs really well.
Everything is just so perfect.

I have bought damn near any game I could find based on the Vietnam war. This is by far the best representation of it that I've ever played. Not to mention the quality is so much higher than regular Arma 3. It really boosts the quality of the Arma experience. The animations are great, recoil feels perfect, every weapon feels awesome, and the sound design is absolutely incredible! It sucks me right in and makes Arma so much more immersive. I've sunk 3000 hours into Arma 3, and have never enjoyed it as much as I do now with this DLC. Thanks a ton for the hard work guys.
The result is incredible!
