The Viet Cong (Vietnamese: Việt Cộng) or National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam is a rebel paramilitary group and faction that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS), Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
Call of Duty: Black Ops[]
In Call of Duty: Black Ops, the Viet Cong are featured as the secondary antagonists and are seen in three levels: Victor Charlie, Crash Site, and Payback.
In Victor Charlie, the player explores the tunnels used by the Viet Cong, with Alex Mason and Swift acting as tunnel rats. The Viet Cong fighters attempt to ambush and intercept the Americans along the way. In Payback, the Viet Cong forces American prisoners to play Russian Roulette, with a bookie taking bets on who dies first.
Appearance[]
They do not have formal military uniforms because they are guerrilla fighters. They only tied a piece of red rope on their left arm to distinguish themselves from the others (i.e. civilians). They are commonly seen wearing green pith helmets with leaves for camouflage and head protection, or bandannas, flannel work outfits, or they are shirtless leaving them susceptible to chest shots, and wear sandals, which expose feet and toes to shots and the muddy environment.
Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS)[]
The Viet Cong appear in the level Welcome To The Jungle, Light it up!, River Raiders, and Last Heli Out. They also appear as zombies in the map The Temple.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II[]
The Viet Cong make a minor appearance in the campaign where one appears to be killed by Frank Woods in one of his flashbacks. It is implied that the Viet Cong have a strong relationship with the Soviet Union, as they are, at one point, seen fighting side by side with Spetsnaz units.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War[]
The Vietcong appear as enemies in the missions Fracture Jaw and Break on Through, fighting alongside the Spetsnaz as the main enemy encountered by "Bell".
Members[]
- Ho Chi Minh (supreme commander, along with Vietnam People's Army)
- Lev Kravchenko (K.I.A.)

Trivia[]
- 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.
- There are sometimes character models for the Viet Cong exclusive to certain scenes, such as the sleeping Viet Cong guards in Victor Charlie, whose models never appear in normal fighting throughout the campaign. Another model for the Viet Cong are the ones in Payback during the Russian Roulette scene, where there is a Viet Cong that is bald, and has no webbing of any sort. He also looks somewhat more slender than other Viet Cong.
- Viet Cong soldiers often get mixed with NVA machine gunners and RPG units in both Vietnam missions in Black Ops Cold War.
