Vietcong follows a US Special Forces group out of Nui Pek, a base just a few miles outside of the Cambodian border where a group of Special Forces were camped for incursions into enemy territory to deal with the North Vietnamese Army and the feared Viet Cong, a guerrilla force with an uncanny knack for killing the hell out of their enemies. You play the part of Sergeant First Class Steve Hawkins that has just been assigned to the unit at Nui Pek. As you might imagine, the group is filled with all different personalities, that don't always mix well, but they always get the job done. It's good to be the best. Aside from some small conversation and jibes back and forth, there's not much character development to be had, but that's probably because there's not much story to be had. The story is really just Hawkins and his missions.
