Ok so this is a fan fic I decided to make for Call of Duty, and unlike most CoD games, which are WWII games, I decided to make one for the Vietnam War. Also unlike CoD games, I won't focus on 1 or 2 soldiers, but a lot, and will feature many famous battles from Vietnam. Hope you enjoy this one, and I might take awhile to upload chapters, so plz! Be patient :)

Call of Duty:Tropic Warfare

Prologue

Van Tuong, South Vietnam

August 17th, 1965

Pvt. Tony Patterson, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines

Operation ''Starlite''

Pvt. Patterson looked ahead as the LVT approached the sandy beach. He was sitting nervously with his other marines waiting to land on the shore. He couldn't see much besides the white sand due to the large shrub and forest that lay beyond. ''30 seconds!'' an officer yelled, as the countdown to landing began. Patterson tightened his grip on his M16 assault rifle. Since he was with the 3rd Marines, his battalion was tasked with moving several kilometers into the jungle and driving the Viet Cong towards the 2nd Battalion 4th Marines, who were going to arrive by chopper.

''Clear the LVT!'' the officer yelled. Patterson, along with the other marines quickly jumped off the LVT, and felt the slight splash of water on their boots as they went ashore. He was part of India Company and they were to trek through the jungle to a small hamlet where they would engage a large Viet Cong regiment, with the help of artillery fire from the 12th Marines. ''Alright lets move, we have to defeat the Viet Cong in An Cuong, or we'll risk losing Chu Lai.'' the officer said.

Patterson took a heavy breath as he waded through the ankle-deep swamp with the others. An Cuong was just beyond through this swamp, and already Echo Company of the 2nd Battalion 4th Marines was engaging the Viet Cong not far from his company's position. ''Shhhhh.'' a marine whispered. He pointed through the bushes at an opening in the trees. Patterson crouched behind a tree and looked out from the opening to see several huts in an open grassland. He saw several men wearing white shirts walking by the huts, though what caught his attention was the fact that they were carrying AK-47s on their backs.

''Don't fire until I give the order.'' the officer whispered, looking back at the camouflaged marines. He took out a Mk 2 grenade from his belt pouch and tossed it into the hut. Patterson went cold, as one of the men turned towards the sound of the grenade landing. The man went into the hut, and in 2 seconds, the hut exploded into a frenzy of smoke,wood, and dirt. ''Open fire!'' the officer yelled. Patterson along with the other marines fired their M16s at the other remaining Viet Cong. One of the soldiers fell to the ground with small blood stains on his shirt. The other soldiers ran into the trees, yelling in some language Patterson didn't understand. ''Secure the perimeter!'' his officer said, ''There will be more coming!'' Patterson ran out into the open and searched one of the huts with several other marines. There wasn't much inside, a wooden table with some AK-47 magazines and a Viet Cong flag on the wall. Patterson had always wanted to visit Southeast Asia when he was young, but never had he expected it to be so rural and in a military operation. He had originally planned to get a job as an engineer, but after college he was drafted into the Army. And now here he was, standing in a firefight with an enemy that he nor his companions could even understand. Why do they have such good strategy?

''Patterson get out here!'' his officer yelled. Patterson quickly ran outside the hut to see machine gun fire coming from the bushes by several more huts. Patterson fired his M16 at the bushes, and the firing ceased. ''We need to regroup with Hotel Company!'' the officer yelled. ''They're just through that part of the forest!'' he said, pointing towards the jungle. The marines began running as well as Patterson. He ran as fast as he could through the jungle, avoiding vines and deep water. His comrades were right behind him. He suddenly took cover as a bullet chipped a piece of wood on a tree next to him. He could hear fighting several yards away in the jungle. Patterson took a grenade and tossed it towards the sound of gunfire, not daring to look from his cover. After a few seconds, he heard the bang, and immediately ran from his cover shooting his M16 through the bushes ahead.

He kept shooting until his rifle was empty. He pulled a magazine clip from his belt pouch and reloaded his M16. ''C'mon soldier we have to move!'' his officer said, giving him a slight shove towards the bushes. Patterson ran through the bushes and came to another open field, this time though, there were other marines in the field firing at gunfire coming from the jungle on the other side of the field. He dropped to the ground and crawled to an unmanned M2 Mortar. He quickly loaded a bomb into the tube, covered his ears, and fired towards the jungle. He watched as the mortar fell into the jungle canopy and a huge ball of sparks and flame shot up from the jungle. Some of the machine gun stopped, but now there was rifle fire coming from the trees. ''Hurry and burn em' out!'' his officer yelled.

Patterson turned to see several marines carrying M2 flamethrowers and rushing towards the jungle. He watched in awe as the flamethrowers spat a long horizontal pillar of fire at the bushes, igniting the trees and vines in a somewhat beautiful sight. The gunfire stopped and didn't continue. ''Alright,'' his officer said, ''Now we need to move north and kill any remaining Vietcong, we should get- bam. His officer dropped to the ground with a large blood stain on his chest. ''Sniper!'' a marine yelled. Patterson quickly aimed his M16 at the bushes where he saw movement and fired several rounds. He finished it by throwing a grenade into the bushes, and watched the explosion rip and burn the brush. ''Someone get a medic!'' a marine yelled.

One of the marines ran to the radio carrier to call in a medical chopper, while the others were tending his officer. Patterson walked over to his dying officer and an utter cold fell over him as he saw his officer covered in blood, and heavily breathing. ''Please...d-don't...I.....can't....so cold... He suddenly stopped breathing, he was dead. Patterson couldn't feel his legs and almost collapsed at seeing his own officer die before him. He turned to see several Huey choppers coming in on the horizon over the jungle tree tops. The mission was over for now, but somehow, he felt as if victory was long from being achieved.
