The Viet Cong (Vietnamese: Việt Cộng ) or National Front of the Liberation of South Vietnam is a paramilitary faction featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. American soldiers mention the Viet Cong as Victor Charlie or VC. The Viet Cong is a guerrilla faction sympathetic to the communists and as such should not be confused with the NVA, the regular army in Vietnam.
The Viet Cong show in combat that they have significantly less experience than their army comrades. This is reflected in their fighting style, often they simply shoot blindly from behind cover, as the Brazilian militia did in the past. In missions like Payday they are still dangerous, because of course there is a numerical superiority. Their attack style is very similar to the Imperial Japanese Army’s Banzai attack, as the Viet Cong will sometimes run straight at the player and attack in melee combat. Sometimes they even carry a machete. They are the second antagonists in the Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign. There it also turns out that she has a strong connection to the ultra-nationalists and sometimes collaborates with the Spetznaz.
Call of Duty Black Ops
In Black Ops, the Viet Cong appears in three missions: Payday, Crash Site, and Victor Charlie. They don’t wear military uniforms because they fight on their own. Only a piece of red cloth is tied to their arm so they can differentiate themselves from the others (ie civilians). They often wear helmets with green leaves for camouflage, headscarves, workwear, or nothing at all, which of course makes them vulnerable to chest shots. Many just wear sandals, exposing feet and toes to dirt and bullets. From this description, it is easy to see that they love risk. Since most of them don’t wear armor and helmets, it should go without saying that they’re easy to take down, but they’re no worse than the other default enemies. Quite rarely they also wear a self-made camouflage suit.
In Victor Charlie, the Americans search the tunnels used by the Viet Cong, with Alex Mason and Swift playing the tunnel rats. On the way, the Viet Cong try everything to stop the Americans in the tunnel. In Payday, the Viet Cong forces some American prisoners to play Russian roulette while a bookie takes bets.

They have a really tiny appearance in the campaign when Frank Woods flashes back to him killing Viet Cong.

Info
- Sometimes there are Viet Cong character models that are only created for one-off occasions, such as the sleeping guards in Victor Charlie, whose model is never used in normal combat. Another Viet Cong model is in the Payday mission during Russian Roulette. He’s bald, doesn’t wear a belt, and looks kind of thinner than the other Viet Cong.
- The models for Looters and Ghost of the NVA in multiplayer are very reminiscent of some of the Viet Cong characters from the campaign.
- They are not a playable faction in multiplayer.
- Often people think that the Viet Cong serves as zombies on the map Shangri-La since the appearance is quite similar among other things (for example screamer zombie ), but this is wrong because the map is set in the Himalayas. Nevertheless, you can find many boxes with something written on them in Vietnamese and Chinese.
Call of Duty
The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
