Console Commands
Battlefield Vietnam supports the use of Console Commands to change various settings and to retrieve information from the Game Server while Battlefield Vietnam is running. The Console is accessed by pressing the tilde (~) key.
In addition to the ‘Standard’ console commands such as “console.ShowFPS 1”; Battlefield Vietnam supports the use of ‘Aliased’ console commands “fps 1” that are short versions of the same command.
