Complete Conversion Gangs and Cops theme, very impressive!!!
MONOLITH's GANGLAND
To my friends who tested various beta versions of GANGLAND, please delete any previous folders and use this latest one. I have changed many things in the final hours before release, including some filenames and things that may cause problems if mixed with a previous version.
TO MOD REVIEWERS:
Please keep in mind my intentions with this mod. My vision of GANGLAND was not to specifically or accurately mimic real life, whether it be weapons,sounds,or anything else. My goal was simply to create something that is fun to play, with a little different style to it than the typical Ghost Recon stuff.
I think GANGLAND is visually exciting, the music pieces immerse you in the mood, and the unusual storyline gives the player something new, a break from the usual military war stuff.
I was not concerned with whether or not the muzzle velocity of the mac10 bullets was exactly right.I just wanted to give something 'cool' to the Ghost Recon community. I think I achieved that, and it wasn't easy. Thanks, and enjoy!
ABOUT THE MUSIC:
The music clips in this mod are owned and copyrighted by the original artists and their record companies. This is a non-profit product, and I hope that if any of those musicians play Ghost Recon, they will appreciate and understand that I have chosen their music to include here out of love and respect for their work. I gained nothing from this, so please don't sue me.
For any players who would like to play without the music, simply Delete the sounds/music folder (just the music folder, not the whole sounds folder) and that should fix it for you.
TO THE PLAYERS:
The specialists in this mod have access to the M82 Barrett rifle. The version here is the modded version by Maniac, which like the real life version, can penetrate engine blocks and knock tangos into the air. Many of the GANGLAND situations are ideal for sniping before you send in your other teams, and the modded M82 is just a ton of fun to use. So I recommend you always bring one sniper with it, and have a blast.The gangbangers won't just die, they'll fly. Thanks Maniac.
Also, there is a tweaked combat model in here, so that leg and arm wounds will not kill you or the gangbangers. Be prepared to expend lots of Ammo, and I recommend going for head shots whenever possible.
SUPPORT:
I would love to hear all comments about GANGLAND, both good and bad. Please email me at TR_MONOLITH@MSN.COM, and let me know what you think. I will also answer any questions regarding problems you may be having, strategies for the missions, or scripting/IGOR question regarding the making of GANGLAND. If you have general 'how to' igor/scripting questions, please see Wolfsongs scripting tutorials, available at www.theplatoon.com.
CREDITS:
The following are the people that helped make my daydream into a reality.
Enormous thanks to....
BAJABRAVO....Designed and created the following skins; multiple versions of gangbangers, SWAT, LAPD, and FBI. Without these skins there could be no GANGLAND. Thank you Thom. He also handled, packaging, and hosting. Bajabravo and his works can be found at www.tacticalgames.net/bajabravo
RAVEN and WOLFSONG....For the absolutely stunning grafitti you will see on the walls of GANGLAND. The grafitti art is another important feature that makes this mod what it is. Wolfsong also handled the map and briefing screen shots. Raven and SotoPara of =Drag= provided the super M3 shotgun. Please visit the =DRAG= team at www.Ravensmouth.org.
HOOKER...for weapons, custom kits, kit icons, mapshots and briefing shots. What would a gangbanger mod be without a sawed off shotgun or a Tec9? Hooker provided the Spectre, the sigp220, the tec9, and the rem870 sawed off shotgun.Hooker also contributed the SWAT specialists from his DEAD PRESIDENTS mod. Hooker also assisted with the splash screens. Hooker can be found at www.theplatoon.com, and www.ghostrecon.net.
DONMIGUEL....also of =DRAG=, for removing the russian phrases.
Thanks to all MY IGOR/SCRIPTING buddies at The PLatoon who taught me how to do this stuff.

In what way is it different from the normal game? New skins, yes, new missions - NO. :(
Are there any real TOTAL conversions? All the ones I've tried so far use the stock missions.

The Gangland mission is new.
