=======================
VC_FrenchRoute_A_beta_1  
=======================

Presentation:
-------------
The "VC_maps" and "FA_maps" serie is my way to show you the close affiliation with the maps created by Pterodon. 
My main objective is to stay as close as possible the original ones but "corrected" to have the nicest versions, 
free of bugs, for the best gameplay and immersion!
Despite nothing is really "new", the maps have been heavily edited!


The mission: "Operation Tin Can"
------------
Air recons have detected enemy tanks alongside the old French Route in the AShau Valley. 
We will be inserted with Shrew Two in the clearing not far away the cantilever bridge that spans the Khe Bana river... 
Once Shrew Two will have secured the Southern end of the road bridge, our team will cross the river. 
When the enemy armor has been disarmed, rejoin Shrew Three for immediate extraction.


Modes:
------
Coop:
The "classic one" we all know, with...
-Addition of: M16s, M14, M60, grenades and bandages at the bridge!
-The weapons will disappear if you drop them on the ground but...
-Extra weapons will reappear on the map:
To use this feature, set the respawn time in the server "Mode settings".

Coop':
The "classic one" we all know but... 
-WITHOUT the extra M16s, M14, M60, grenades and bandages at the bridge!
-The weapons WON'T disappear if you drop them on the ground!
-Kills and Deaths are hidden by pressing the "TAB" key.

Discovery:
This "mode" is the Coop one but without the vc bots; ideal to "discover" the map, 
set tactics with your mates, take screenshots or...whatever! 
In this mode, don't use the whole team as the respawn method or avoid to die (NO respawn)!
-Addition of: M16s, M14, M60, grenades and bandages at the bridge!
-The weapons won't disappear if you drop them on the ground.


AVAILABLE in ALL modes:
-5 Ammoboxes without the grenades dispersed on the map: ON/OFF
To use this feature, check or uncheck the "Show ammoboxes in levels" option in the server "Settings".
