This guide is for EA/DICE PC game Battlefield: Vietnam, and it's purpose is to list the songs and their lyrics, since that's one of the most asked questions on the game. While this guide may seem a bit late, the game is still pretty popular so this guide seems needed. This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use. It may not be placed on any web site or otherwise distributed publicly without advance written permission. Use of this guide on any other web site or as a part of any public display is strictly prohibited, and a violation of copyright. www.bfvfiles.com is a very good Battlefield: Vietnam site for downloads of maps, mods, patches, etc. You may always find the latest version of this guide at www.gamefaqs.com -------------------------------- 2.FAQ -------------------------------- Q: Why did you create this guide? A: To help answer one the most asked questions about this game, "What songs are in this game" Q: What's the name of the song that plays in the menu? A: A remix of the song 'White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane Q: In what vehicles can you play music in? A: For the Battlefield Vietnam game, any vehicle, from US Heli's to NVA Mopeds, any vehicle you can get into in the game can play music. Everyone plays the exact same music too. Some mods of Battlefield Vietnam (Namely Point of Existence) will only let you play songs in certain vehicles, such as the jeep. Q: How do you play music? A: By pressing the number 0 (zero) on your number line above the letters on your keyboard, this can be remapped to a different key if you want. Then you press a letter on the keyboard that corresponds to that song. So pressing "A" on the keyboard after pressing "0" will play the song "Fortunate Son" and so forth Q: Can other people hear my music? A: Yes they can, both friendly and enemy, so if you want to go in undetected in a vehicle, it's better to not play music Q: How can I play custom music? A: Take any .mp3 file or shortcut to an .mp3 file and place it in the "Custom Playlist Folder" folder, which can be found in the start menu under EA Games -> Battlefield Vietnam -> Custom Playlist Folder and if you can't find it, then just do a search for "Custom Playlist Folder" Q: Can other people hear my custom music? A: No, they just hear the song the letter of your music corresponds too. So if you're listening to the song "Crazy Train" and it's in the letter "A" position then everyone else will be listening to "Fortunate Son" Q: How many custom play list songs can I have? A: Up to 26, one for every letter in the alphabet. Q: What's the whole point of music? A: Mainly the for the coolness value, as seeing helicopters fly by playing "Surfin' Bird" can be a pretty cool sight, and also for your personal enjoyment when driving your tank long distances. -------------------------------- 3.Song Listing + Lyrics -------------------------------- SONG LISTING The songs in the game are listed as so.
