Well, it's time for another of those mod updates...this one for BFV Arsenal. For those of you who've never heard of the mod or haven't paid much attention to it before, Arsenal aims to promote a more realistic experience for Battlefield Vietnam. Since Version 0.13 came out in June 2006, the mod has been expanding rapidly with lots of new features for players to enjoy and give them a better Vietnam experience. These features include a reworked damage system, reworked kits, a review of the game's vehicles, plenty of new weapons, and a selection of great custom maps. The up and coming release of Version 0.3 promises even more content for you, here's a list of what's cooking: NEW STUFF: - added Browning L9A1 9mm pistol - added S&W Mod.39 'Hush Puppy' 9mm silenced pistol - added Sterling L2A3 - added Sterling L2A4 (silenced). - added M16A1 with grenade launcher (XM148) for the SAS - added Redeye Portable Anti-Air for the US/ARVN - added M60 "shorty" for the US/ARVN/ANZAC Special forces - added randomization code for weapons and equipment - new textures for the SAS.
