CREDITS & CONTACT INFO

-I'd like to credit the official Battlefield: Vietnam site for a
few weapon descriptions I used, overall a very interesting site.

-I'd like to credit a PBS website also titled "Battlefield: Vietnam" that I accidentally went to when looking for information on the game. It turns out that this website has lots of information
about the war and I used some of it in this guide. I think anyone who plays this game without at least a basic understanding of the reality behind it should give this site a look through.

-I'd like to credit the fine folks over at Nuclear Powered Battlefield Vietnam for helping me figure out that blasted shovel.

-I'd like to credit Josh Powers for his email that pointed out that the alternate fire for Grenades and the Time Bomb not only drops them at your feet, but can be held to control the throwing distance and timer length. Thanks Josh.

-I'd like to credit Donny Chan for reminding me about extra information regarding Medkits, picking up other weapons, spelling errors and weapon info. Thanks Donny.

-I'd like to credit Didier Vanoverbeke for pointing out that some of the terms I was using to describe the different forces in the game were used in the wrong context and misleading. Thanks Didier.

-I'd like to credit Mr. Magee for reminding me that you can in fact pick up the Mortar after you set it down. Thanks Magee.

-I'd like to credit Joshua Schmale for offering an additional, creative way to blow up your enemies with C4. Thanks, Joshua.

Due to my scholarly studies and work schedule, this is the final edition of this FAQ. I think I've got all the bases covered, and if you think I don't, hey! Write an FAQ yourself. It's a fun experience and a good way to contribute to a great community. If you email me with stuff regarding BF:V, I might read it, but I won't update the guide with any more hints,tips, and such, unless it's a terrible, glaring error.

Especially don't email me with the official class names, the names I made up - Gunner, Engineer, Heavy Assault Soldier, and Sniper - all describe the job the class does and I even tell you how to pick it by the picture icon that you click on to select it.

That, and maybe all those weapons I described would tip you off :)
