When you run Vietcong 2 for the first time you will see a set-up screen giving you the option to change screen resolution and image quality (these settings can also be changed from the in-game Options menu). Once you have selected your desired settings press OK to launch the game.

Once the game is running you will be presented with a start screen, which has Join a Game, Host a Server, Customise Player, Options and Quit.

To change the appearance of your in-game character, select the Customise Player option. You will then be presented with a screen offering you a choice of characters and accessories for both American and Vietnamese forces. You may also change your name for online games here.

Picking Up Weapons
In Multiplayer Deathmatch games, simply run over a weapon lying on the ground. If you have a free weapon slot in your inventory, you will automatically pick the weapon up.

In other game modes, walk over to a weapon and move the crosshair over it. The crosshair will change to a ‘hand’ icon. Then press the ‘use’ key to pick up the weapon.

Note; you may have to drop the weapon you are already carrying. See the controls table above for instruction on how to do this.

Interacting With Objects
Objects you can interact with will be highlighted by a ‘hand’ icon when you move the crosshair over them. Then press the ‘use’ key.

Objects that you might expect to be able to interact with, that for some reason you cannot will be shown with an appropriate icon. For example, a locked door with be shown with a lock icon. A weapon or item that you cannot pick up because your inventory is full, will be shown with a red line through the ‘hand’ icon.

Picking up Ammo
Ammo for a weapon you’re already carrying can be picked up by walking over it. Ammo for weapons you’re not currently carrying can be picked up by moving the crosshair over the ammo on the ground. The crosshair will change to a hand icon, then press use to pick up the ammo.

Team Commands
When you are wounded and need the attention of the team medic, press the F1 Key, and then select medic from the resulting menu to summon the medic. Your medic will see your request and will find you on the battlefield.

When you are low on ammunition and need, press the F1 Key, and then select engineer from the resulting menu to summon him. He will then find you on the battlefield and pass out more ammo.
