How come a good Vietnam War based first person shooter did not come out still?

Well this topic is primarily refering to a game that which consists a good Single Player expirience.... Sure Vietcong was a decent game also its expansion but a game way better capturing the brutal,emotional and densely packed action of this war coud'v been made! I see no reason for why developers aint intrested on this part of the theater of Human conflicts....

HAHAHAAAAAAAA! that cracked me up good :P Strong point I must say tho, but they could actually create a damn unique game play through the eyes of a rebel, Fighting a war of both mental and physical! ... then also give us the perspective of a US Soldier as well! This war is one of the greatest opportunity to crawl into the players skin with the brutality of war... In my opinion

Like some of you folks have said, it may be political given America's loss of the war. It's still a great opportunity to make a great war game.

Well, Call of Duty: Black Ops is good. Its not mind blowing, nor is it terrible (as many SW pundits would have you believe).

Its technically not a Vietnam FPS though. About 2/3 of the game is fighting Russians in some 60's espionage, and a good amount of weapons aren't synonymous with the Vietnam War other then a few obvious ones like the AK and M16.

Still, its the closest you'll get to a good Vietnam single player shooter, but the outlandishness of it all made me consider it more of a violent James Bond type spy story then a true Vietnam game.

How? I played it on PC and I thought it was pretty fun, I mean, other then the no split screen it should be the same damn game with dedicated servers right?

Battlefield Vietnam was good, its pretty dead now though. [came out '04 or '03] Other then that black ops had a few 'nam levels. But the rest of the game was meh.

Yea... I did actually enjoy Black Ops gameplay... it was some what deviated away from the usual COD scenario... and umm well it wasnt focused on the vietnam war... Im talking about a game based on this war it self :( Due to political reasons as stated above i dont think itll eva happen :(
