25 NEW Co-Op Compatible Maps for Battlefield Vietnam.
Featuring Urban, Jungle, Night, Air Combat, and Infantry Assault Maps. This is a very large Map Pack - 800+ MB Installed. Maps Have Large Numbers of Vehicle Spawns, Fog & Light Effects, Custom Bot AI, and an easy-to-install - spyware-free setup .EXE from 'ClickTeam'
THIS IS NOT A MOD!!! MAPS WORK WITH BOTH VANILLA & MODS!!!
Despite not having 100% accuracy of the maps, many aspects of each battle were considered. Every attempt was made to add some element of the real battle to these maps. In some cases its very well done & in others only a slight hint of the actual battlefield exists. The real battles took place in settings BFV cannot simulate accurately. Realism can go only so far on this EA title, but whenever possible I tried to add critical elements. If I was getting shot constantly in an open field, I would go back and edit the map to add a log & ammo crate maybe....this would of course mean a complete re-render, zip & upload of the entire Forcepack. The number of times it took to finally get most of the foliage and objects 'on the ground' and not floating a few inches was tremendous. Had I known what I was getting into, I would of dropped AI support immediately.Luckily I added BOTs to every single map & only Mekong Monsoon is NOT online coop compatible. The rain FX used on that map, make hosting multiplayer coop impossible. The rest of the maps all work fine with very few bugs or crashes even under heavy loads of bots ;)Enjoy & have fun ;) NOTE: Windows Vista supposedly has a Hotfix for BFV & Win 7 works fairly well.
(You may need to CTRL + ALT + DEL if you get a black screen then re-enter BFV. Win 7 has a memory error causing BFV to think it is out of memory.) This is a very large Map Pack. Each one has custom loading screens, advanced AI, & Heavy Armor & Aircraft Spawners. This map pack represents 100's of hours of research, design and development. Render times at highest graphics settings exceed 200 hours easily.
Noticed my MAP PACK is uploaded in several different sites (PlanetBattlefield, Filefront & a few German Sites.) Thought I'd cut down on the confusion and UPLOAD the entire updated map pack here on MOD DB.
TACTICSOGRE = I am the creator/author of this pack ;)
Nice to see you haven't just let the mod die. :)

i cant seem to get it to run on my system (win 7 x64) any sugggestions?
I really wish I would of seen this comment years ago....the best suggestion I have is to adjust the startup "icon" properties to emulate an older version of windows.
WIN 7 will run it but you need to avoid the out of memory errors by using XP mode.
The other option is to run it on Virtual PC in XP.
Sorry I did not respond quicker, after my time on ModDB I had some serious life issues that kept me away from games as a whole.
Best wishes & hope you were able to get it sorted out shortly after posting this comment.
I've started a new Youtube series with the maps from this fantastic mod!
Just wanted to say thanks for the compliment. I wish I would of had more time to increase the detail levels. I had many things I wanted to edit, but life happens when you're busy making plans.
I will check out your YouTube channel & subscribe. I can also help you get more views since I have a lot of friends on YT.
Take care & best wishes my friend!

Thanks very much for the support, it's already helping my channel immensely. I had been planning to soon quit Youtube for good because of the lack of progress and my own lack of interest, but you've convinced me to at least finish my Battlefield Vietnam series first, even if I give up on everything else.
Once again, thanks very much for the awesome mod and for the support. It's a pleasure to play it! If you've ever got any feedback, just let me know :-)
All the best,

this map pack is broken with co op and single player, bots will enter vehicles and just sit in place, this happens across all maps in this pack, its not worth using until someone fixes it.
