It's gonna be Hella Kool with Vietnam release! Can't wait to be in the Huey operating the M60 and peppering the landside. Gonna make for some great adventures. Might have to make a movie or two..
Im interested to see if DC can be converted to work with BF:VN, if it will have to be entirely re-scripted. I'm guessing that all the graphics and vehicles may be easily imported thought....only time will tell.
Outside Desert Combat, there have been several other mods for BF1942 that have had some luck as well. One of my favorites has been Galactic Conquest, and I see someone is now working on a new mod called "Gnomes of Destruction"...hehe

Desert Combat is by far the best MOD made for any game hands down. I'm guessing that the makers of COD hope to acheive similar results with their product, but I don't think that is gonna happen with the release of OFP2 and HL2. Those 2 games have had incredible luck in the mod world as well, and I'm sure it will continue into the future.
