Quang Tri (Vietnamese: Quảng Trị) refers to two maps that appear in Battlefield Vietnam, both of which feature the same map design and layout.

Quang Tri - 1968[]

"January 31, 1968 - The city of Quang Tri had the misfortune of being positioned just south of the all important Demilitarized Zone. The "DMZ" as it was known was a barrier between the north and south where no military action was to take place. However, this was seldom the case. With the weather working against them, the North attacked Quang Tri in the attempt to control The DMZ."

— Map Briefing

Quảng Trị - 1968 is a map featured in Battlefield Vietnam. The map is based upon the Battle of Quảng Trị, an engagement between the Vietnam People's Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam in the Vietnam War.

Assault Conquest[]

"Quang Tri is an Assault Map. The N.V.A. begins with constant ticket loss. This loss can be stopped by neutralizing and/or capturing an enemy control point. The ARVN forces begin the map with four Control Points. The ARVN will begin to constantly lose tickets if all but one Control Point is captured."

Quang Tri - 1972[]

"September 16, 1972 - After years of military occupation and repeated battles and bombings, the city of Quang Tri was rendered a waste land. Earlier in the year, the forces occupying the city were ordered to retreat by their commanding officer who saw little point in defending the remnants of the city. With obvious strategic importance, it was imperative the city was retaken by the south."

— Map Briefing

Quảng Trị - 1972, is a map featured in Battlefield Vietnam. It's based on the Second Battle of Quảng Trị, which was an engagement between the Republic of Vietnam Marines and the North Vietnamese Army in the Vietnam War.

When compared to its 1968 counterpart, 1972 is more war-torn with most of the city being reduced to rubble.

Assault Conquest[]

"Quang Tri is an Assault Map. The ARVN forces begin with a constant ticket loss. This loss can be stopped by neutralizing and/or capturing an enemy control point. The N.V.A. forces begin the map with four Control Points. The N.V.A. will begin to constantly lose tickets if all but one Control Point is captured."

Trivia[]

  • For the loading screens, Quang Tri - 1968 shares an image with Reclaiming Hue, while Quang Tri - 1972 shares an image with Hue - 1968. However, the texts are different.
  • The loading screens of both versions were intended to have two panels of text each. The unused text is as follows:
"The existence of tribes in Vietnam posed a special problem for the U.S. Many of these people were unfamiliar with elements of modern warfare. The army wanted to ensure that there was no mistake as to the nature of their vehicles. They created leaflets depicting their vehicles in monstrous ways in order to intimidate any potential threat."

— Quang Tri - 1968, right, Intimidation

"Despite the views of their leaders, soldiers on both sides of the battle lines suffered from the realities of a war in Vietnam. Many North Vietnamese soldiers were ordered into battle to compensate for heavy losses experienced by the N.V.A. Their loyalties or understandings of the war was in doubt. The U.S. and South Vietnamese catered to this with leaflets promoting surrender."

— Quang Tri - 1972, left, Surrender is an option
