Viet Cong

The Viet Cong (Vietnamese: Việt Cộng) or National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam was a military faction that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops. American soldiers referred to the Viet Cong as Victor Charlie or VC. "Victor" and "Charlie" are both letters in the NATO phonetic alphabet. "Charlie" referred to communist forces in general, both Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army. They are not very good in shooting and they are sometimes blind firing although they are still deadly in numbers. Their style of attack looks pretty much like the Banzai Charge of the Imperial Japanese Army because they sometimes run straight to the player and melee him. They even have a machete on some occasions. They are not the main enemies in the game, being merely agents for the Spetsnaz. The main characters are showing a strong dislike towards the Viet Cong.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
In Call of Duty: Black Ops, the Viet Cong are seen in three levels: Victor Charlie, Payback, and Crash Site. They do not have formal military uniforms. They are commonly seen wearing green pith helmets with leaves, or bandannas, flannel work outfits, or they are shirtless, and have sandals, leaving their feet and toes open to shots (as well as mud, water, and the environment.) They are also occasionally barefoot. By not wearing body armor of any kind, as well as (usually) no head protection, it would be safe to assume they are easy to take down. But they are no easier than any other "standard" enemies. On very rare occasions they are wearing something that looks like an improvised ghillie suit.

Trivia

 * The Viet Cong don't appear as a multiplayer faction and was probably replaced by the North Vietnamese Army. This is most likely done to not confuse players because both factions are of Vietnamese nationality.
 * In the beginning of the level Victor Charlie when you kill the two Viet Cong guerrillas, they have the same screams used for the Japanese in Call of Duty: World at War.


 * The Viet Cong are NOT to be confused with the North Vietnamese Army. The Viet Cong are a guerrilla force while the North Vietnamese Army is an actual army.
