All you need to know, the first link is the best one. Also I would suggest you start making small maps for BF2.
Thanks for the tutorials, as for the small BF2 maps suggestion.. thanks, but I prefer it my way :? ??:

To the forum mods,

Where would I post one?
My current projects are at a dip so I might make a map.

Also who could I contact to see if the map I wish to make is already WIP because I think the one I wish is pretty popular or well known with Vietnam Fans

I started mapping for this mod a while back, mine's a mix of several locations from Apocalypse Now, most notably an accurate recreation of Kilgore's village strike at Vin Drin Dop or.. Lop, damn Asian names all sound the same, and a couple of other locations in the film, in one map. :mrgreen:

Noddy - use of racist or ethnic slurs are not acceptable on these forums.
2.iii Tolerance
Racist, sexist, homophobic, or religious insults are the quickest way to get you banned from the forum.

This is a good place to post WIP maps or map iadeas. Look around, you'll see the general format people use for posting maps :)

No, I think it is perfectly fine to post a map about Vietnam/PN there.

That was a direct quote reference to the film, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

So, in your estimation, it's OK because someone said it in a movie?

Debating this on a game forum is ridiculous, but I will say that although my comment was racially related, it is not a racist statement. This game is set in a certain time frame just as all wars are, and no body complains about the terms Kraut or Fritz, or Hun in WW2 games, because it is understood to be part of the context of the game and not meant seriously. I would hope that any Vietnamese person playing this game and browsing these forums would share my view that being offended by people messing around on a game forum is absurd.

These terms were used, they are part of the historical and cultural context. Forbidding their use is cutting out a part of that history and understood authenticity.

Perish the thought that authenticity is endangered.

Well, I guess I'll be slinging the old n-word around in game now, as it is authentic to the period.

You're comparing a word used hatefully to subjugate a race as slaves and inferior citizens for hundreds of years with a word used to deride your enemies in warfare and boost morale, as has happened in all wars, and in this case for a few decades in the mid 20th century.

Bringing in an extreme example just shows how off the mark you are.

Suggesting that there is a quantifiable difference shows how out of touch with reality you are.

A racial slur is a racial slur.

I don't care what he said,
Report it and move on.

People keep de-railing threads and its getting on my nerves.
Take it else where please.

I agree he doesn't need to so around saying things which he doesn't understand the impact it may have on someone else
However its something that can be dealt with otherwise.

Back to the topic, well I'll finish the concept doc and post it there I guess.

You're right, NB - my apologies for derailing your topic.
