. BEFORE THERE  WAS DELTA  FORCE, THERE WAS SOG. The Vietnam  War’s  most .
highly classified  special  operations were  performed  by the Studies
and  Observations  Group. Consisting  primarily  of  U.S. Army  Special
Forces  “Green Berets,”  SOG warriors  fought top secret  missions deep
behind  enemy lines. Infiltrate  deep into  Laos with  your Green Beret
and   Montagnard   teammates,  hunted   by  trackers  and  bloodhounds,
outnumbered  at times  100-to-1. Rescue  downed pilots, ambush convoys,
seize  enemy prisoners, discover  targets for air  attacks, and  direct
air  strikes. See why SOG  veterans went on  to found  Delta  Force and
in the work of secret operations, remain stuff of legends.

* BONUS! Included  on the game  CD is an  excerpt and  photos  from the
critically-acclaimed book, Secret Commandos, written by Major John L.
Plaster.

* Take part in the top secret world of “Black Ops” conventional warfare.

* Engage in highly classified operations throughout Southeast Asia.

* Eight realistic campaigns that take place in multiple phases.

* Use Combat Patrol techniques learned in Vietnam and still valid today.

* Team Building – Train and equip your team and then lead them on
covert missions.

* Evade human trackers, enemy patrols and masses of security forces —
learn what it’s like to be hunted by a relentless, determined foe.

* Explore the mysterious Ho Chi Minh Trail, raid North Vietnamese bases,
truck parks and supply dumps hidden deep in Laos.

* Discover enemy basecamps, truck parks and ammo caches, then attack or
destoy them with realistic air strikes.

* Rescue downed airmen and raid prison camps to liberate American POWs
and bring them home.

Elite Warriors was developed in cooperation with former SOG member  and
best-selling  author on this subject, Major John L. Plaster, USAR (Ret)
for the  ultimate in authenticity  and  realism. Major  Plaster  served
three  one-year tours in SOG, eventually  retiring  as a major.  He has
instructed military snipers and has taught SWAT officers  sharpshooting
techniques. Major  Plaster has been  honored by  the U.S. Army  Special
Operations  Command  at  Fort  Bragg, N.C., for  his  contributions  to
recording the history of Special Forces.

. About the game - Elite Warriors Vietnam is along the same lines as the  .
great Ghost Recon series.  If you're an avid military/war gamer, don't
sleep on this one.

Wake the hell up.  Does the scene need a new alarm clock?  Looks like
it's running low on batteries.  Short circuit.  Somewhere between the
eletrical outlet and the gears churning time inside, something is dead
wrong.  We've been trying to place our fingers on the source of the
scene's problems for months.  Years.  What's to blame, or who?  Why
does it seem that the new generation of sceners has the wrong
fundamentals?  The wrong virtues, goals, integrity?  Where are the
role models for these guys?  Nowhere to be found, because the few
sceners that built the frame and structure of our beloved hobby, the
benchmark, the ones that set the standards of it all, have had their
sweat turn into tears.  Before the true oldschool's very eyes, the
scene has degraded into nothingness.  There's no substance.

Anyone that thinks "da oldskool elite" still exists.. is wrong.

Place your wagers!  How much longer can a scene like this go on?
The saddest part of it all, is that the few sceners stacked with some
experience have proven to be no better than the mp3 downloader that
slowly worked his way into this treachery.  Backstabbing continues.
It always existed, but never to the degree of Scene 2005.  Friends
still turn on each other, groups still affiliate topsites with their
false senses of security, and the talent pool still continues to
drain.  It's time for change.  What will be your solution?  To be
honest, we don't expect to see any.  Perhaps greed and apathy are the
answers to the corrupt nature of the scene.

Why do people say the PC ISO scene is the worst to be in?  Million
dollar question.  We're hard-pressed to agree.  Instead of stealing
members back and forth between groups, why not look at the bigger
picture?  Where is loyalty?  It's been tucked away in the lost-and-found
bin on a deserted island.

We're tired.  Sick, and tired.  Tired of ranting and raving about the
ill-will of sceners, sick of discussing the degradation of the scene,
and exhausted by the disgusting feeling that comes over us when we hear
another scener betray his friends.  Another day, another lamer.

You're probably thinking, "Who the hell cares?  Why is another group
bitching about this shit?"  Well, then.. we've made our point.

Oh.. and just to clear things up..

We don't intend to be the best.  Time doesn't allow it.  But the
difference between Elegance and Group X, Y, and Z is beyond the
releases.  Crack the surface, ladies and gentlemen.
