I thought I should post about this big mod coming up. It takes place in 1968 in South Vietnam. They just put there site online. You can also read an interview with one of the creators here.

Blimey! People are just getting so damn good at doing GhR mods!

This looks like an 'official' expansion it's so professionally done (even the website is good).

Luckily I now (just) have a new PowerBook that should run a monstor mod like this OK.

I can't wait!

I like the Vietnam era - it's a very interesting mix of the old and modern as far as weapons go (although I don't see the M1 and M1 carbine among the weapons...pity).

As an aside - if any of you own an iPod I highly recommend you go to the iTunes store (or Audible.com) and buy the audio book: '13 Cent Killers : The 5th Marine Snipers in Vietnam' by JOHN CULBERTSON.

Nice mix of history of the US sniper and a bit of a thrilling yarn.

Looks very cool, I love Vietnam stuff.

I hope they have a period soundtrack running in it

overwise I'll have to stick one itunes to give it the right feel.

*digs out the Rolling Stones*

This might be the first mod that I've gone through in single player although I might just play it with the Coop'ers on GR.

This might sound sad - but I have several playlists for which ever game I am in!

I have a 1966-69 Vietnam playlist, and then the 70s Vietnam playlist...

Take a look at this nice Vietnam music list: http://www.ichiban1.org/html/music.htm

My favourites?

We Gotta Get Out of This Place - The Animals

Crimson and Clover - Crimson and Clover

Beautiful Morning - The Rascals

And, of course...

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones

(Although 'Paint it Black' is a second RS favourite.)

Cool I'll be sure to 'check them out'.

Yes, this mod looks very promising. I can't really think of any mods that reach the depth of this one since Frostbite was released. All new maps, character skins, weaponry, mission scripting...... and the list goes on.

Most anticipated mod of the year, IMO.

More than Alpha mod?

Well, being that Alpha MOD is allready out, yes. =P

This will be a great mod to play with the alpha mod on too, with the new maps especially.

Yea, I think this mod at least from what I have seen so far, only matches Frostbite with its content.
