PR:Vietnam update
Posted in: Uncategorized
Posted 2011-09-21 at 15:55 by Matrox
Well, most of the devs are now coming out of hiding after having a break from the latest patches. Our next stage of development has been focusing on what we want to do with the PR:V mod and how we are going to incorporate it.

We are following the route of including it within the next PR release, rather than a stand alone mod. That way, everyone gets to download it and people don't have to worry about switching mods all the time. (It also cuts our workload by a half, but thats beside the point :wink:)

We have started making further headway with the first release, and what we are anticipating to do with it. We would really like to bring back some of the older, now outdated maps such as Ghost Train, Tad Sae, and perhaps even Road to Kyonganinoningingoningsomething. We are also looking at developing some larger 2km maps, with the mindset that we would like some form of aerial presence in the form of helicopters.

Our main reason for deciding to bring back 1km maps follows our gameplay design for the weapons. We are looking towards focusing the battles at a closer distance, with a mixture of semi-auto and automatic weapons. The M16 we will be using for the US will only have 20 rounds in comparison to the AK47 30 round mag. To counter this, we gave the US 20 round mags for the M16, whereas the SKS Siminov will only have 10. It's assymetric, in that the NVA will probably fare better in CQB than the US, however we feel both sides should balance each other out.
I've created a list of the kits below for you to see what we have provisionally down. Our first release we aim to be looking at including just the USMC and NVA factions:

So as you can see, we have a fair bit of development to do. None of these lists are final, and we are trying to work out a compromise between balancing the factions and authenticity. What we would like to iterate is that development has picked up, the mod is not dead and it is moving forward. Over the next few months more information and images will come out as and when the other devs deem fit. Hopefully, there will also be some in-game screen shots in the not so distant future.

Seeing as all dev blogs need at least some images and not just a wall of text, have a look below:

    No Binocs for any officer kit - that's a mistake I assume - copy remove GLTD don't replace with binos?

    Wonderful news. Might bring me back momentarily from PR:A2 .


    I would like to say that I'd love for the Booby Trap weapon to be brought back to the NVA from BF:V. I had too much fun with that thing watching people get into planes and jeeps... BOOOM.

    C4 for them seems a bit much... maybe the 'timed' tnt from BF:V

    Is there [I]anything [/I]custom for PRV?[/QUOTE]

    Do feel free to contribute something; other than bitchyness of course :) It seems like that's the height of your skillset though ;)

    After reading this I have two questions:

    1) Shouldn't the USMC Grenadier Alt not have a M14? I remeber reading that the M203 was such a major leap because before a grenadier was only armed with a sidearm.

    2) Will we finally see AP mines in PR? Since the Ottawa Treaty wasn't writen until years later there should be no reason not to have AP mines (if it's command detonated it doesn't count as a mine).
