New BfV Mod! "Operation Remembrance"

[DenalDouglas]

Hey everybody, I'm new to this forum, but IceSkater has kindly given me permission to make a post introducing a mod I've been working on for Battlefield Vietnam called Operation Remembrance. It's been in the works for quite a long time, and I'm finally getting ready to release it. It's a realism/expansion mod that between its base version and several planned patches will add dozens of small arms, vehicles, maps, and several new factions, including the ANZACs! It also adds various new kits and classes to play as, including Medic, Non-Commissioned Officer, Tanker, and others, and I've made a lot of improvements to the AI performance so the bots aren't quite so stupid and are actually somewhat worth playing against.

Operation Remembrance mod for Battlefield Vietnam

Operation Remembrance is a massive expansion and realism mod for EA's Battlefield: Vietnam. Operation Remembrance has been created by Denal Douglas, a private mod-maker, and has been in the works for almost nine years. It adds dozens of maps, small arms...

it must be good

I can’t wait for the release, do you plan on hosting a server with your content?

 

[Pinky]

At a time when we seem to be struggling just to get 16 players, you probably needed to release this 10 years ago. I am willing to give it a try but if there's only one player, me, you will have put in a lot of work in vain my friend.

 

[DenalDouglas]

Well, I STARTED this nine years ago, and it would have been nice to have it out all the way back then, but here I am. At the very least, I've gotten a decent reaction and a fair following on ModDB, with quite a few people looking forward to the release. I'm hoping this mod could do what Forgotten Hope Secret Weapons seems to have done for Bf1942 and bring some new life (and new people) into Vietnam. Maybe it'll even do better. At the very least, it has full singleplayer support, so people can enjoy it by themselves. IceSkater mentioned in our DMs that he'd like to host my mod on HelloClan's secondary server for a promotional event, assuming everything works properly. After that, I'm not sure where things will go as far as a multiplayer server is concerned.

seems cool by first look, reminds me of TKO Battlegroup mod addon

 

[DenalDouglas]

Do you mean Battlegroup Vietnam? Operation Remembrance actually uses quite a few elements from BGV: the M24 Chaffee, the M42 Duster, the M113 ACAV, and the "Valley Assault" map. It also has the M67 flame tank, but I made that myself. I didn't copy the BGV one.

yes Sir, I am a server managing admin there, LtShaun is the clan's CEO

 

[LTShaun]

After the -[HELLO]- Event premiering this MOD I would be happy to host a multiplayer server for it under the [TKO] banner

 

[DenalDouglas]

Really? Could either of you get me in touch with whoever is in charge of the BGV development/community? I've incorporated several mods into mine, since for a long time I didn't plan to publicly release it, so I wasn't worried about sharing rights. Some of those mods, like Point of Existence, have invalid or missing contact information, so now that I'm releasing Operation Remembrance, my attitude towards using other mods in it is "If I can get in contact with the makers to get permission, great, if not, I'm going to use the material anyway and still give them full credit." I sent a Discord message to the guy who seems to be in charge of the Battlegroup42 forums, Sarge31FR, over two months ago, asking if he was the right person to talk to about Battlegroup Vietnam, and I haven't gotten a response. At this point, it's kind of too late to pull the BGV elements from my mod, but if I can get in contact with someone from the development team/community properly before Operation Remembrance's release, that would be highly preferable to just using their stuff with credit but not letting them know ahead of time.

yeah, I think LtShaun is a quite good expert of mods and addons

I’ll drop you a DM regarding this I might have an email address somewhere.

comin soon cool on Oct 1

 

[DenalDouglas]

It's not a definite date. I wanted the release date to just be listed as "October 2021" as an estimate so people had an idea when it would be out, but ModDB put it as "1 October 2021". It probably won't be until later in October, maybe closer to November.
