MEC storyline

[USMCMIDN]

I am in college and need to come up with a "creative" story for one of my classes. I was thinking about forming a storyline on NATO vs MEC and why they are fighting.

for example what events lead to fighting to Muttrah City, Asad Khal etc... and the other maps like what happened before those battles.

MEC would be the following countries...

Iran- the top country in MEC and the dominating country in terms of politics also a supplier of arms and equipment.

Palestine

Lebanon

Syria

Pakistan- Over the years the "stable government was overrun by the Taliban

Jordan

opposing forces are...

US

UK

Israel

Canada

Germany

France

Australia

Poland

Turkey




now what do you guys think? ? ? Good idea or bad...note I do not want to get the creators of the game pissed off so....if they would answer too that be pretty cool... this story will not get published and will only be used as a post and for a college paper! If the creators have a problem with it I simply will not create a story for the class and all the PR forum subscribers to read.

i took out somolia and libya due to geographic location

Interesting idea, I think it could be a very good story.

Some things I would consider though:

1. Nuclear weapons: you can either have them be in the story, and set the war against the backdrop of a planet devastated by an atomic holocaust between the MEC and NATO, (which could be very interesting) or you could leave them out of the story entirely, and not make them appear at all, which would be less realistic, but easier to write.

2. Alliances: It might be better if you bring in some other Asian countries as well, like China, Vietnam, Japan, and Russia. I know you want to make it just the Middle Eastern Coalition, but in all likelihood other superpowers would get involved in the war as well, the way they are in PR. Heck, why not have some interesting twists, like China is now a NATO ally and Russia is fighting NATO? (ok, maybe the latter isn't such a twist, but you get the idea.:wink

3. Technology and Time Period: You could make the war set in like 2013 or something, or you could make it set in 2080. If you do it in the far future, I would recommend staying away from lazorz and en3rgy sheildz, since that makes it too science fiction-y and unrealistic. You could have some very advanced technology for the militaries though, like every soldier has retinal implants or networked computers and communications and stuff. You know, futuristic, but not unrealistic.

Anyway, just my thoughts. Go with what you think would make a good story.

A famous quote from the FDF mod for Operation Flashpoint:

"We're soldiers, not politicians"

Turkey would probably go MEC. and the goverments would not be as radical. I mean ppl gotta stop looking at PR as having "good" and "bad" guys.

Turkey is on track to join the EU, if I'm not mistaken. And by Western standards, they're one of the most secular countries in the Middle East.
So they would probably go with the rest of Europe, IMO.

But who knows, 65 years ago the US nuked two Japansese cities, and now we're best buds.
Diplomacy is a weird game.

i have done research on possible countries for MEC Turkey would most likely be apart of the NATO like forces side because of the strong ties with the US and UK... Turkey will act as a staging ground for NATO forces

as for NUKES I am going to incorporate them in the storyline as it would be useless for anyone to use them I highly doubt they (nukes) would be used again (except by terrorists) MEC knows it would be suicide for Iran to launch their NUKES and ditto for the NATO countries.

as for China and Russia... As of late 2009 Russia as with China condemned Iran for their nuclear policies (just like the US and UK did) and with China and Russia writing a "mean" letter to Iran I would think they would not pick sides with this middle eastern war.

Also China and the US would most likely never get into a war because simply our economies are so close that either side would not benefit in an all out war and if you look at the US and China relations and foreign policies I would not be surprised if in 10 years or so we would have a type of alliance with them just the same as Israel (Officers in my unit have worked as liaisons with Chinese units in China). As for Russia slapping Iran's wrist and the MEC being the aggressors (in my storyline MEC starts the war) they will leave it alone and simply sit back and watch

as for the time period it will take place late 2012 or early 2013(no not because of the doomsday prediction) I chose this date because the USMC in Muttrah City do not use the EFV which will most likely replace the AAV for USMC early 2015, and we can see some EFVs in service as early as 2014 according to Camp Leatherneck Magazine 2010 issue. And PR takes place in the Near Future so I chose this date too.

The time in my story gives the US and UK etc... forces enough time to destroy the Taliban threat in Afghanistan set up a large military base as with Iraq, leave Iraq for the most part, have the Taliban destroy the Pakistan govt and take over as they did with Afghanistan in the past (Pakistan with a Taliban govt will play a major role in the story) and Iran to start forming secrete alliances with other ME nations (Iran Quds force have already been captured in Iraq and Afghanistan training and equipping insurgents and taliban in the past so they are anti West this will play a part in my story as well.

china is communist and Russia is a democratic federation so i think Russia would be more likely to be part of NATO then China

[rushn]

what about Russia and Chechnya or Georgia?

thats true but when you look at it that way, your not thinking about "MEC", your thinking about how Turkey is today. what i mean is that in PR MEC is a powerfull force and Turkey would probably side with them. today thier is nothing close that resembles MEC so they go NATO.

[Adriaan]

I can imagine it's hard to make a somewhat plausible storyline, since there are so much intertwining relationships between all those countries, not to speak of their sometimes in fractions divided population. Take for example the different Islamic fractions in alot of Arabic countries that really don't get along that well with each other a lot of the time, or the Palestines and Israëlis (since Palestines are on MEC side, what would Israël do and what would MEC do to support them, what would international media responses be like etc.) and like mentioned before Russia in relationship to Georgia and Chechnya, or the US and China. I'm really interested in seeing what you will come up with as for the story and how you will fit the maps/battles in PR in it, since i have often thought about it myself as well.

[HAAN4]

You need a work, sure.

When Barrack usen see that war goes ultiment umprofit, he what to put a end once and for all to Talibam forçes, because he discorver that the Talibam has ordered be Bush to cruch the Twin Towers in order to give a potic excuse for his rivalary and war of it's own father. Of course he not also set then to lauch atacks in unites states but has well in their allys to couth whicht they suport has well allow nato to not broken.

When Barack Obama Discover all those things, he insteand of atacking Irak set foot in Afganistam that is the home of Talibam forçes (since they has a Anti soviet ocupation guerrilha suported by USA money) strange things become hapening in Israel, it's is like that the judes has recive a atack of a local hamas forçes that is utimate Unhuman and that make Israel lauch a very very agressive atack. since this is the second jude brutality europeam union no longuer suport the judes saying they hide in the dark pass of holocaust, saying they are Poor people, but united states go into it and suport, again. but the president of Iram come's autmost deplese, and when a SECRET OPERATION OF JUDES hapens in a iram silo, Iram Lauches a atack directy, the holocaust come's up again. and Israel become Ashes.

So Americam forçes go to war, which or whictout allys. using they tomawaks to destroe silos has well nukes. no other nuke ether in any territory, and a colition of americans soldirs has fast enough to defeat the iram army. whicht combined armored and Aircarft.

For loung barrack obama truly has defend the ideals of unites states has not a agressive greed leader but has a leader that respects liberty, and respects life.

Here is.

good?

please read other posts...as for Israel they are on NATO like countries side...my story is not based on all of NATO in the war just some and Israel I say NATO like because well Israel is not in NATO. As for The middle Eastern countries hating other ME countries I have incorporated that too. The countries I list as MEC have similar if not same religion, ideals, politics, foreign relations, and of course a strong hatred for western countries.

Remember my story is taking place in 2012-2013 the near future. I have already described china and russias involvement.

Please read past posts.

[HAAN4]

Of course The war has not ongone it'self,

because when the nuclear warfare has gone out and troops become to fight, A coaliton is formed of all MEC forçes, of troops, the Iram president is on top, has local Irak Insurgents had well talibam become to gain autmost stregh, European union see to have the need to aid not the Israel but the americans to stop this madnes and back in their decision that Israely are the bad guys,

So they Lauch atacks whicht alot of manpower, equipement in varius regions. the mec is redy but Otan is redy to fight to. so the war go in after some time.

Americans Economy starts to go down day be day, and emerging power like Russia China Become to gain power day be day, Evem coutrys like South Africa, Brasil,Argetina has well many other emerging coutrys see to have a growing ground in economy since the crises go in the Otan coutrys and neutral ones keep growing. this is basic economy and there is nothing americans can do. but retrive the coalitions faster they can.

so long this keep going everthing in midle east get's better, islam becomes less fanatic, and recostruitions teams beguin to rebuild and reoganize the local, place after years of ocupation. it is 2018 when otan armys get out the holacaust war, and this means the not loguer are unchalege economy japan also has take a good place fo the hight tech things, russia of fuel and heavy manufactory goods, china for light industry, and brazil of food and water and Heavy Industry (yes we have alot of Metal mecanic industrys of very good quality using CNC and other hight tecnology)

War this time make a win and a lost for otan coutrys, ironic in polic and in economy in all aspects. EUA is no longuer a super power, but it has left this place to a noble conquest, a conquest of keeping their politcs of a free world.

Men not all of they are the same, and keep in miny other coutrys belive otan are the Bad guys in this history, they are people and worriors that fight for islam more that all because the belive in that, you never see Juba vidios in you tube? he say every bullet he buy is for every childrem lost in a aircraft bombing.

The hatred for eastern coutrys is because the liberty they thick about PORN vidios are abumanat has well many other things that to then are Freedown abuses.

and about Hamas they are doing nothing more that americans will do if Russians in cold war take over america.

And this is the Same i do for brazil, has any other Good son of their land will do for their.

what you do if Someone say this is our land get out, since you lived there evem you childhood?

listem to this vidio and keep in mind if you are doing good things.

The Arab guy has shown very good arguments

[503]

This is sounding more and more like a thread that belongs here:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f21-news-frontlines-political-debate

[Shaihuluid]

Is this thread turning into a discussion of predicted politics in the near-distant future? I think it is. might be worth noting that PR is not always near-future conflict , so you can probably just cast the MEC as another Pan-Arab movement on the level of the six-day war and others. Take a currently existing alliance (EG: arab league), and throw in a reason to have it at war and you've got a story. I always thought MEC was Iran, personally.

Meta-comment: this is probably not a good writing piece for a university. It's OK for PR, however

[charliegrs]

i think your gonna re-ignite the debate over whether iran should or should not be in the mec. it always seems to spark alot of debate.

but anyway, i say you could look to the past for a realistic scenario of how the mec came to be. you could say that the muslim countries in the region united once again to destroy israel, its happened in the past. they just didnt unite themselves under any official alliance like we have nato.

the israeli thing was where I was getting at, it will start somewhere as Iran has been secretly building weapon facilities and making secrete alliances to combat Israel. Eventually Israeli Mossad find out and ask for assistance by western countries. But not soon enough MEC launch an assault on Israel where the Israelis have to hold off and wait for their allies to respond and send troops across borders...

as for the debate who MEC is I made up the countries on modern day 2010 politics, which countries are friendly and each have a common goal of disliking israel and western nations. Since my story will take place in 2012-2013 it will have similar politics as todays...

yeah i looked at it again, the MEC line up actually looks pretty good. i noticed you omitted saudi arabia, that was a good call. saudi arabia and iran arent exactly friends.

this could also help explain why russian is in the middle east {the upcoming lebanon map} since in previous middle eastern wars russia has always sided with the arab armies. they probably still would as they are all economically important to russia {weapons sales, oil ect}

with Russia thats where I will explain how the MEC received optics on their rifles as seen in PR with the MEC.... B4 the war starts off between MEC and NATO Russia and MEC had weapon contracts with each other and frequently traded preparing for the future war with israel unbeknown to Russia however when the war starts all ties will be cut in the story.
