Men Of Valor Site Launches

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out that developers 2015 (of Medal Of Honor:Allied Assault fame) have opened their official Men of Valor:Vietnam page on their site. It deals with the upcoming Vietnam-themed PC and Xbox FPS, which is running on a heavily modified Unreal engine, and showcases info and latest screenshots. The unofficial movv.com site has a little more info on this Sierra-published title, which looks to be one of the more eagerly-awaited FPSes of recent.

Men of Proofreading

[ArmorFiend]

I can't wait for "Men of Proofreading", which looks to be one of the more eagerly-awaited prepositional phrases of recent!

Unreal Engine?

[fatboyslack]

I don't care how heavily modified it is, I can't believe people are still using the Unreal Engine, what 6 years later? Or are they using the next engine up? Anyone on thoughts as to why they would use such an old engine?

Re:Unreal Engine?

[fatboyslack]

Who does the developing? Epic (the original folk) or people who buy the engine for their own use?

Polygon Count

[wilkinsm]

I wonder what the polygon count will be like...if they are going to simulate jungle terrain that means lots of trees, animals, and perhaps even warms of insects...lots and lots of small polygons, as far as the Z buffer can see...

I can forsee even a top notch video card crawling through this game.

The horror, the horror

How soon until the Lieutenant Calley or Hanoi Jane mods?

The Horror.....The Horror

[vaguelyamused]

Just waiting for the Apocalypse Now mod, I get to play the tiger.

I read about this too...

However, aren't they late to the party with Vietcong [vietcong-game.com], being on the market already? As for me, last night, I downloaded the Tour of Duty, Vietnam Halflife Mod [tourofdutymod.com], which should be good enough for me, if I can tweak my computer enough to get it running correctly.

If not, I'll have enough fun with the "Aliens versus Marines" Natural Selection Halflife Mod [natural-selection.org], I think. It runs really well on my machine and I think being an Alien is almost as much fun as being Charlie.
