Sixpence Interview
Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, September 29 2004
Giwex has just finished interviewing one of the names that will go down in Ghost Recon history as a top contributor to the community - Sixpence.

"First of all, I have an idea for a Story, or more often … a Unit. I think, the Story you want to tell (for a Mission campaign) is the most important part. Usually I think about the Story for a few weeks and put it down on paper.  … Next I search the Maps. "

Read this interesting interview here, which also lists all of Sixpence's mods.
