Zathmo's Arma 2 OA Unsung Vietnam Mission Pack
by
Zathmo
Description:
This is a map pack I created for the Unsung Vietnam mod for Arma 2. The map pack includes 10 linear missions and one sandbox mission. I plan on adding more missions or making a second mission pack if I receive a positive response from the community.
Mission content:
Acquisition of Mang An: You are leading a squad to capture Mang An which has been captured by NVA Forces. There is an enemy officer who is a major threat to the United States' presence in Vietnam, he must be eliminated.
Assassination Plot: You are sent alone into the dark jungles to search for a POW who is rumoured dead. Upon the capture of the Hill where he was being held, you find information of an NVA officer who will be passing through at dawn. Neutralize him and then get back to base.
Boot Camp (WIP): This mission is set up like a training mission but is mainly meant to showcase all of the awesome content that this mod has to offer. It is currently a work in progress, and may be a bit buggy.
Crash Site Athena: On your way to a recon mission your helicopter is shot down and you must defend your crash site. After it is secured you must wander through dangerous territory to Find your way back to friendly forces.
Darkest Before Dawn: In the early morning hours you are sent to clear out a small fishing village full of Viet Cong and then use their transportation to link up with more Special Forces to assault a heavily guarded temple. You will suffer heavy losses...
Fallen Salvation: You are the air support manning the M60 of a UH-1 Iroquois to assist heavily outnumbered marines. However your helicopter crashes behind enemy lines and there are more enemies on their way. Gather any weapons and ammo you can find and prepare to defend yourself.
Hill 88: Assaults are never easy, especially uphill. However you couldn't avoid the draft, and you now are stuck taking orders from high ranking men and living in a country where everyone wants you dead. You have been sent on your first assault to the notorious Hill 88. Can you hold it together and take this hill?
Run Through The Jungle: A helicopter crashed and it's pilot is being held hostage. Its your job to resolve these sorts of problems.
Siege of Thai Son: The city of Thai Son is under siege, and your orders are to capture it or die trying. When the city has more enemy inhabitants than you thought, things can get ugly really fast.
The Battle of Ta Nhien: This assault on the rice field village will be costly, to many men's lives and to your conscious.
The Unsung Operations: This scenario is a sandbox mission. You are a special forces team leader sent to recover a crashed pilot, however there are many side missions you can complete as well. The whole map is full of objectives waiting to be completed and is occupied with randomized patrols and traps. Each time you play this scenario it will be different. You have everything to your disposal, including transport, 2 U.S. bases to resupply, and a set area to pick up reinforcements. This scenario is set to keep you constantly alert and be unforgiving. Good Luck!
Installation:
Extract the .pbo file(s) to your ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead\Missions folder.
Known issues:
This is my first attempt at making missions in Arma 2. I am a huge fan of military history and I could never find a good Unsung Vietnam mission pack or servers still running the mod. So I decided that considering the lack of an active community for the mod, people should still be able to play it. This is one of the most detailed mods out there for Arma 2 and it deserves a lot more appreciation and recognition than it has. Currently there are only Blufor missions but upon request I will develop a few Opfor missions for those of you who would enjoy that experience. I plan on making new missions, and I planned on adding more before releasing this pack but I figured I would put out what I've already created and add more later if I get a positive response from the community. These extra missions may be added to a second mission pack instead of added to this one. I am well aware of the development of the unsung mod for Arma 3 but I still believe the mod for Arma 2 should still have some more missions available for it.

Hi I was trying to decompress the rar file but I'm getting messages that the file is corrupt. Can somebody confirm this.
Thanks for still making missions for ArmA 2 especially The UNSUNG MOD is something I enjoy very much. It's a pity that I couldn't decompress the file. In any case thanks.
Tested the archive and extracted without issues.
Try to update your unpacking software, many times that fixes that issue. I use 7z and had no issues unpacking.
Thanks Foxhound
I tried with 7 zip and it worked. It's the first time I can't decompress with rar.
@Zathmo don't put your hopes up too high in getting feedback, because the bulk of the ArmA community has switched to ArmA 3 there are only a few die hard fans like me which is still playing more A2 than A3. In any case thanks for making these missions.
Cheers
Thanks to everyone who downloaded so far, I understand that Arma 3 has the Unsung Mod available for it however it is in very early stages of development. I will be working on some missions for Arma 3 Unsung, as well as Arma 2 Unsung. Please comment and let me know if any of you (even if it's just one person) are interested in a second mission pack for Arma 2 Unsung Mod as I will publish a second mission pack for anybody who wants it! Be sure to also request any features of what you would want out of the mission pack (i.e. Opfor missions, more sandbox or linear missions, vehicle missions, ect.) as I would be more than happy to make more missions for you guys. I will still be active in creating missions for Arma (especially Unsung), so be sure to keep an eye out for new content!
Thanks to everyone,

Hi
I had a go at one of your missions. They have definitely a lot of potential but they need a lot of work as well IMHO. They are lacking a proper briefing which is my biggest gripe. No overview pic. I'm nit picking here but for me it is a fact of mission standard. There is no story line or plot in these missions. Intro and outro's are missing for a eventual story line. Please don't get me a wrong here but I'm trying to do give some constructive feedback. There are so many missions for ArmA available which have a certain standard. A missing briefing, which is one of the most important and basic thing in a mission, is turning me immediately off. As I said your missions have potential but they need the necessary work to be brought up to standard. Which means at least a proper briefing. I'm not asking for cinematic cut scenes but a bit of a plot would be appreciated.
I hope I wasn't too harsh in my feedback
cheers
