Vietnam People's Army

"American Soldiers! Your aggression towards the People's Republic of Vietnam will not go unpunished. Instead of returning to your own country - you will die in ours."

- North Vietnamese Loudspeaker

The Vietnam People's Army (otherwise known as the People's Army of Vietnam or the North Vietnamese Army) is an enemy and multiplayer faction that appears Call of Duty: Black Ops. Their goal, like the Viet Cong, was to reunify Vietnam through communism and overthrow the South Vietnamese capitalist government. Their style of combat is similar that of the Imperial Japanese Army, as they sometimes run straight to the player and melee him. This occurs frequently in the level SOG, due to their determination and aggression towards the Americans.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
In Call of Duty: Black Ops, there are several levels where North Vietnamese soldiers are fighting the player: SOG, The Defector, Crash Site and Payback. They are; however, not the main enemies in the game. They are usually seen wearing white uniforms, along with a green pith helmet or a communist cap, looking similar to that of the WWII-era Japanese military cap and in multiplayer, they can be seen wearing bandannas around their head.

Weapons
For the most part, their armory is the same as the Soviet Armed Forces' armory, but lacking the variety of the latter group.
 * AK47 (Main Rifle)
 * RPK
 * RPG-7
 * SPAS-12
 * FN FAL (Main Rifle in The Defector)
 * AK74u
 * Dragunov
 * Skorpion
 * Makarov

Multiplayer
In Call of Duty: Black Ops, the North Vietnamese Army is a playable multiplayer faction, and appears in three maps: Jungle, Hanoi, and Cracked. Their Hardline model is almost the same as most of the NVA in the singleplayer, but lacking a backpack, which is present with its Scavenger model.

Trivia

 * The NVA are the second Asian army to appear in the Call of Duty series, the first being Imperial Japanese Army.
 * Although the NVA most commonly use the AK47 throughout the campaign, they exclusively use the FN FAL as their main rifle during The Defector, for unknown reasons.
 * The NVA is voted as the second last most liked Multiplayer factions, beating the Tropas who has the lowest votes.
 * Some of the men when talking are using South Vietnamese accents, instead of the Northern one. This is understandable, given that there are probably few North Vietnamese voice actors in the United States.
