Army back in 1970, went back to college, and started a new and successful career. when he was stationed at Long Binh, 1966-1967. Several of these places are listed on the map’s index titled “Guide to Important Buildings and Features,” which provides a building number and grid location. Among the offerings were a bowling alley, nightclubs, and other so-called adult entertainment establishments. A virtual city of some 60,000 people at its height, Long Binh Post had dental clinics, large restaurants, snack bars, a photo lab, a wood shop, post offices, swimming pools, basketball and tennis courts, a golf driving range, laundromats, and even a Chase Manhattan Bank branch.
troops “in country,” a phrase used to describe a soldier who was on a tour of duty in South Vietnam. By some veterans’ accounts, it had the unofficial name “Long Binh Junction.” In 1968, the base fell under attack during the Tet Offensive, and the Viet Cong assault force was repelled by American troops. Army used the base as a logistics and command center. The likely purpose of the map was to serve as a guide for personnel and others who lived or worked on the base.ĭuring the Vietnam War, the U.S. The Geography and Map Division holds a map from the war that was printed and created by the 66 th Engineer Company (known as the “Topo Corps”). It was situated between Bien Hoa, the location of a large American airbase, and Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Army’s largest base located in the former South Vietnam. Not just your in-game money, but your real world time, which I value even more.During the Vietnam War, Long Binh Post was the U.S. The other additions with the DLC - masks and guns and whatnot - are welcomed, but the main draw here is the new heist, which those who preferred the original game will appreciate. Meanwhile, you’re learning the ins and outs of the levle and sharing that accumulated knowledge with whomever you play with next. You’ll occasionally even find yourself in position of savior, rescuing downed allies, or you can at least drop an ammo bag in the vault. Yet even if you’re not stealing key cards, hacking servers, or quickly unlocking cages, you’re still necessary, especially on higher difficulties. I found myself a hired gun and a pack mule typically (for securing all the loot). The weird thing about playing Payday 2 at this point is that unless you’re playing with friends, or an avid player yourself, you’re probably going to end up on skilled teams with various upgrades who will handle the bulk of the duties required to get through a heist. Then there’s getting into and holding out in the big vault long enough to steal everything. There’s a complicated door to get through even before you get to the vault, and a few variables that change arbitrarily, as is typical with Payday missions (server room location, needing to access a maintenance room on the roof to get through the first door). Still, you should try for stealth as long as possible, just because of the length of the heist. I’ve still not been able to successfully stealth the Big Bank, even playing on teams of much more seasoned players. The default way into the vault, unless you’re good enough to stealth it, is The Beast, a multi-part drill hidden in a giant pink piggy bank that needs to be dropped from a crane and into the bank lobby. If you’re a penny pincher, you can stick with default escape and breach plans. These choices require calling in favors, of which the entire team is allotted ten, and spending some cash. And these placements don’t have one ideal spot that you’re wasting your time setting over and over because in the pre-planning you can also change your mode of entry into the giant vault (thermite or The Beast drill) and means of escape (I like driving a bus through the wall). Now you can choose drop points for assets like ammo and doctor bags. Provided you get everyone in it and attentive.Įven if you don’t draw up recommended routes on the blueprints like you’re John Madden (or if your teammates couldn’t be arsed to pay attention), the pre-planning stage is still useful. With The Dentist comes the pre-planning tab, which lets you set up certain elements of the lengthier heist to your liking. The Benevolent Bank is a big job, given to you by The Dentist, as played by Breaking Bad‘s Giancarlo Esposito. If you missed that slow mounting tension as ammo supplies dwindle and the onslaught of hundreds of policemen continues, Payday 2‘s The Big Bank DLC is for you. I’ve played levels in the first Payday with equally unskilled, low-level friends for close to an hour, holding out against all odds before finally failing, our efforts for naught. Payday 2‘s heists are much shorter than the first game’s or broken up into multi-day sections that allow for some reprieve.
