I. A brief history
This et_carentan was originally conceived as a complete and perfect reconstruction of Carentan, in order to pay tribute to this celebrated Call of Duty multiplayer map. In the mapping process, and with the consent of VS, the idea got adapted in honor of the alliance between SLUT and VS.
The map was to be subject to a complete transformation, ultimately attempting to give the map a Vietnamese war atmosphere. Hence, the map's name became a mere "vietnamization" of Carentan: "Kha Ran Than". Evidently, the map featured the VS Vietnam mod textures and sounds. Also, beside the original Carentan setting, the map was enlarged with a beach landing and a town plaza to better suit the 40 slot VS server.
In an initial phase, Kha Ran Than was to be provided exclusively to the VS clan to use on their VETERAN SOLDIERS-VIETNAM server. Later on it would, independently of the VS Vietnam mod, be made public for others when adapted to the original CoD Carentan setting, preserving the said enlargments.

In the process, they received a great deal of help from other distinguished mappers, who will be thanked and credited later on in this readme.
The entire concept took about a year of weekend work to become reality, from somewhere in September 2008 to September 2009.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It must be emphasized the final result was achieved without ever decompiling anything from the original CoD map or any other map from any other game. Also, out of respect of the original creation, the map is provided with completely different textures than the CoD version.
------------------------------
III. Map & objectives
------------------------------
1. Setting:
As said, the map's setting is based on the Call of Duty map, which in turn based itself on the prestigious "Band of Brothers" series. The liberation of Carentan took place on June 12, 1944. It is this framework this map is relying on as well. In order to insert a worthy objective, we decided upon the stealing of a tank, escorting it to German head quarters, stealing documents there and securing those in a Huey helicopter.
The map features the original CoD town of Carentan, together with a small beach and a town plaza.
2. Objectives
- Attacking team: US Easy Company
Objective: Stealing top secret documents which could gravily endanger the planned liberation of Europe from the German terror.
- Defending team: Germany
Objective: the Germans are in the middle of transmitting the secret intel and must prevent the documents from getting stolen.
3. Map and spawn times
Time limit: 30 minutes
Allied spawn time: 12 seconds
Axis spawn time: 15 seconds
