The Unsung MOD
THE UNSUNG VIET NAM WAR MOD
Introduction
The Unsung Vietnam War Mod was the effort of a few OFP (Operation Flashpoint) fans and Vietnam War enthusiasts. In the early days of OFP the idea came forth that with this ultimate war simulation, the Vietnam War could be brought into the gaming world like never before. And with the gathering of a few talented members willing to go the painstaking road of working from the ground up in releasing this Mod, The Unsung was born.
Operation Flashpoint (OFP)
2004 saw the coming of the first website for The Unsung mod. And it had finally a face. Yet with lots of work to be done and fewer members of the team able to carry on, the team slowly fell apart and The Unsung started to fade away into history. Two community members didn't want to let the Mod die and took over where the previous team could no more. And The Unsung rose again from the ashes. It took yet again some time for new members to show up and join the at that point 2 man team. But once new possible members saw and heard, the team started expanding and has now a very capable team of modders working for it that is growing larger still. Since the re-birth of The Unsung, the mod achieved it's first two Demo releases for OFP. They show the quality and capabilities of the hard work of all Unsung members to date. Finally all the hard work of the first team and the current team came to realization. No work has gone unnoticed in the process of making it all happen.
As hard work and countless hours of dedication to the Mod brought more and more beautiful creations we found ourselves at a turning point for the project once more. ArmA (Armed Assault) was at the horizon, and the team was asking itself what to do next as we were working to a full release. But the minds and thoughts were the same, all the work done so far and unreleased were to go on into ArmA including the work for what was to be the full release for OFP! The Unsung Vietnam War Mod continued on into the next title.
Armed Assault
In 2006, Bohemia Interactive released Armed Assault the successor to the beloved title, OFP. And with this release came many new fresh faces to the Unsung Development Team and with it the launch of the R1 (alpha) release. R1 brought three new maps to the Mod along with a vast range of new content including United States Special Forces and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA)
