We set out September 2013 to correct errors and bugs with our 2.5 release, and then 2.6 exploded to be our biggest release to date. With the help of new, keen and talented team members we released something very special. The Unsung Vietnam War Mod has evolved and broken new ground in the Arma series, bringing you never seen before concepts, pushing the Arma 2 engine to its maximum potential.
Most of our place holder models were updated with a host of new weapons, planes, APC’s , helicopter variants, bunkers, items and ground units. It features a complete faction over-haul, kitted out with new and improved weapons, items, grenades, mines, traps and backpacks all true to the era. 2.6 hosts more new kit for you to explore like working knives, silencers, flashlights and you’re your own dog-eared copy of Playboy. There are also some new and interesting things to “find” in game like snipers in trees and spider holes, improved traps and mines, and more Vietnamese wildlife.
Whilst our focus had always been on intensity and atmosphere, this time it was taken to the next level. This release undoubtedly quenched the thirst of community members who wanted to play a mod that takes you deep into the combat, where you will feel the sweat on your brow, as swarms of NVA and VC come screaming at you, as you empty your M16 in the dense jungles of South East Asia.
