I’m playing the night mission where I rescue the POW and I was wondering if it’s supposed to be as dark as it is. I can’t see a damn thing. How am I supposed to play this level? I have no idea where I can walk, let alone see an enemy and shoot him. Could it be my video card that is making it so dark? I’m using a Radeon 9800 with the newest 3.7 catalysts.
It is pretty dark but you should be able to adjust the gamma settings in game to brighten it up to a reasonable level. I believe it is supposed to look like it is about moonlight level for that mission.

Vietcong is like Thief. Many of its missions are supposed to be dark. Play in the dark, or like the Ion Storm Dallas developers, with a blanket over your head and monitor.
Are you in the tunnels ? use your flashlight.
No, I’m past the tunnel mission. Turns out this new monitor had it’s settings all fucked up, so I adjusted the color, brightness and contrast and can now play the mission. It’s fun so far, except for the weird AI behavior where my guys just stand around in the middle of the swamp while VC fire at us from the shoreline. The AI is really strange in this game, sometimes they amaze me with their feats, other times I marvel at their stupidity.
