Arma 3 Creator DLC: S.O.G. Prairie Fire

Could we please, for the love of God, get either an in game option or a mod that will get all of your AI team-mates to SHUT THE FUCK UP! Even using the "Stealth" option in the order menu just makes them just whisper loudly. There is a point when all the side chatter is no longer "immersive". I wouldn't mind so much, except that 1) they call out alerts on non-existent threats, and 2) after a while the sheer repetition starts getting on my nerves. I am almost certain that MACV SOG's high casualty rate was NOT the result of team's inability to keep their fucking pie holes shut.

[h2]Without a Doubt the Best CDLC or even Arma 3 Premium Content[/h2] + Detailed uniforms, weapons, and vehicles + All vehicles come with their interior modelled + Sound design that is pleasing to listen + Smooth reload animations + Vietnamese forces shouting in combat + Tunnels for tunnel rat experience + Painful scream when executed + Cities and jungles are well-designed + Assets available cover all kind of combats - Inconsistent performance - Lackluster single player experiences This is the best Arma 3 CDLC, no DLC, no, even arguably, the best Vietnam War experience in gaming space. Like, you can relive almost all of Vietnam War scenario. There are tunnels to recreate tunnel rat experience, trees that cover Victor Charlie's bases, cities to be liberated from western influence, or even kicking them back to the Pacific for messing with others' business. Being able to play as Vietnamese, be it People's Army (PAVN), Viet Cong, or even Republic Army (ARVN) is a plus from gaming perspective as there are barely any game that offers such liberty in recent memory. Let's start with the first point. Considering the develepor team looks like a business company with LinkedIn page and more than 100 members (although about 30 name are on the LinkedIn's list), Savage Design Game achieves what other CDLC developers cannot truly achieve in rather short time: create numbers armored vehicles that come with full interior. What kind of joy that others could compete against being able to see full interior of all vehicles? Well there is, like script that work in few tests, but that besides the point. When talking about this DLC, one cannot talk without mentioning the sound design. I am confident to say that SOGPF is golden standard of sound for CDLC. From unique explosion sound compared to vanilla game to even sound of many assets that are very close to their real life counterparts. It is worth to mention the reload animations. Not only they look more original, they also look great and snappy. Especially loading older rifles that must be reloaded round by round. What a sight to see, especially since such thing cannot be encountered anywhere else in Arma 3, be it mods or even CDLC like Spearhead 1944. But that doesn't mean it's perfect, some are just bad. I find reload animations of AK family, MP40, and M3 to be some stains in such great CDLC. Ah, of course, the speech, voice that come from (virtual) humans. Like, while you can't see the enemy while you are sneaking, you can hear them talking to each other. So you will somewhat has an idea about Victor Charlie's presence in the area. This kind of immersion is rather unique in Arma 3. And the voice of incapacitated and dying soldiers are quite terrifying. But there is minus point, Vietnamese forces lack "Arma-style speech" which I find baffling. I know they are less professional than the GI, but give them voice. And into the negative. Of course one might be concerned about the performance. While there are some that where game runs smoothly, sometimes it runs terribly on military complexes, cities, or tunnel which comes with its own script for lighting. Even so, I find them more tolerable, and I am confident for those who play Arma long enough, can tolerate this. It won't run as bad as First Contact. I would say, like playing in jungle of Tanoa. And for single player experience... yeah I won't say much. The showcases are okay, I appreciate full Vietnamese voice for Viet Cong mission. Of course, there's also co-op campaign. Basically, it runs like Apex Protocol so it is not single-player friendly and rather infuriating than fun, considering how AI soldiers spot and shoot player despite heavy foliage that separate them and player. Better go to Workshop and find a user-made campaigns. Lastly, this CDLC is supported by the veterans of the Vietnam War and it seems that both veterans and developers have create some kind of mutualistic symbiosis. The developers create such a great assets and some of their earnings go to support the veterans, and the veteran offer their history library and voice to make the in-game battle more immersive and thrilling. So yeah, if you are member of units or just a person who want to hear trees speak Vietnamese, this CDLC is for you and it deserves the full price.

True Vietnam war simulator. Amazing project. Would love more of these veteran/dev collabs

I've played no more than 10 mins so far in the American showcase. I literally chilling in the jeep and listening to the radio. I'm in love with the immersion!

Hands down the best Arma CDLC ever made.

fucking legendary.
