History YMMV / RisingStorm2Vietnam

* MemeticMutation: Naturally, due to where it's set. [[WebVideo/FilthyFrank "Welcome to the Ricefield, motherfucker."]] Is not an uncommon joke. Alongside a few references and jokes to other famous media taking place in Vietnam.

* HomeFieldAdvantage: Arguably the TunnelNetwork available to North Vietnamese forces give them a safe and secure way to move throughout some maps, while American, Australian and South Vietnamese forces can only use a handgun within these tunnels. To balance this, many maps will allow Southern forces to use their primary weapons in tunnels if they are the defending side.

* ScrappyWeapon: Some players feel this way about the claymore mine, which is an explosive trap available to the South Vietnamese forces that must be triggered manually, unlike tripwires or punji traps that trigger as soon as an enemy triggers them. On the subject of sidearms, there's the M1917 revolver, which fires the same .45 cartridge as the Colt M1911 at lower capacity and (unless cocked manually) decreased precision. Then there's the suppressed variant of the [=XM21=] rifle with its long bullet travel time, poor range, manual cocking and still rather loud report.
* TheEnemyWeaponsAreBetter: Some players may prefer the accurate [=M16A1=] over the high capacity Type 56 and AKM assault rifles, and vice versa. Thankfully, it's quite easy to scrounge for extra weapons on the battlefield.

* NarmCharm: But then again, those North Vietnamese taunts can become potential ParanoiaFuel given the Northern Force's tendency to blend well with their surroundings.

This is exacerbated in the Campaign game mode's Early War phase, where the North Vietnamese have to make due with a low powered M1 Carbine and bolt action Mosin Nagant, both of which are outclassed by the South Vietnamese's M14 rifle. Thankfully, it's quite easy to scrounge for extra weapons on the battlefield.

* ContestedSequel: ''Rising Storm 2'', especially in comparison to [[VideoGame/RisingStorm its direct predecessor]], probably inevitably considering the time period difference causes a lot of gameplay difference too. Plenty of fans just didn't find being out of World War 2 is the same.
