whether there be the Korean War, the first Afgan war and foulcland war.

[edyR3c0rd]

I was just wondering, now there is vietnam war mod would PR team do other wars?

[mo0nbuggy1]

"foulcland", really? What's that?

[salaminl]

Don't know if this thread is in the right section, but isn't it falklands ?

[Wakain]

guys be gentle, note this fellow was born in latvia and therefore english is not his first language, he might even be very dyslectic for all we know so don't judge his language, the question is clear enough.

on-topic: I wouldn't count on it, as that would mean a lot of new factions, skins, maps and weapons and it's not PR's goal to recreate as much wars as possible.
vietnam is a war that by coincidence was relativley easy to include, as a lot of weapons, vehicles and maps could be used for it in cooperation with eod.

[Maxfragg]

but actually, with current and late vietnam equipment, there is not that much in between , though, PR:BF2 is missing enough stuff with 2 scenarios, and we should not forget, that PR:BF2 will not be developed forever, but i think PR2 Alpha should be out befor Xmas 2011, which will mean, the things to be realised for BF2 are limited

In the case of PR:Vietnam it was really the matter of us having all the assets available to do it with the EoD2 team really driving it forward and wanting it to happen.

With making the Korean, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the Falklands (epically the Falklands) would require a lot of work put into it to make all the new assets needed for that to happen. Hardly any of the British kit that is in service today was in use in the Falklands, I mean the Brits didn't even have the SA80s back then. The only things we have would be the Harrier (although our Harrier GR9 would need to be heavily modified to turn it into a Sea Harrier), the Land Rover, the Scimitar and one or two hand weapons and that's about it. Then we would also need to make the Argentinian team from scratch. It's simply not worth it when you also consider how much work we still need to do for normal PR, the PLA (ingame) for example are still using a MBT that was only a prototype in r/l and is not in service in the real PLA, and never will be since the ZTZ-99 was a much better design.

[Maxfragg]

jep, new china vehicles (ZTZ-99, WZ-10) should really have priority

[Easterling]

As an Argentinean I would gentlly ask not to make the Malvinas War part of the PR edition, since the flame of war is still a problem between the UK and Argentina; and the citizens of both countries also have the wounds wide open with this conflict. So I rather preffer not to make this conflict part of the PR saga

I think we almost have all the necessary assets. Only thing we need is a Hind, BMP and BMP-2. Which would require a lot of work

[Exec]

Bahhh shit, wrong post...

For the Russian invasion of Afghanistan it wouldn't be that hard, main thing missing would be maps thou Op Archer and possibly a few other maps might work but not enough.

Its still not a simple business and something we can't just pull out of our ***

[sakils2]

I was dreaming about Hind flying around Op Archer and blazing it's rockets everywhere

*begs for someone to make Soviet-Afghan war minimod*

however the same can be said for any Iraqi or Afghani. i guess they'd feel pretty bitter about us blowing shit up in Fallujah, Karbala or the Korengal Valley.

i think slottin a few fellas with an FN on Goose Green or Wireless Ridge would be pretty nifty; after all, Argentinia was the OPFOR
*thus begins the vast political flame war* haha

plus it would perhaps educate on a war lesser known by many people.

[STORM-Mama]

And for the Korean war - pretty much have already been made by the guys that were working on Battlefield: Korea. That project is, unfortunately, dead so I guess they wouldn't mind giving away some of their finished stuff to other modders...

[Cassius]

The next generation can only express itself correctly in l33t talk.

[Quikli]

I think that PR should remain with only two versions.

Having too many different PR's would split up the community, and thinly spread out an already relatively small playerbase.

Plus wars like the Falkland War were small confrontation. They didn't really capture the awe and imagination of the world as much as WWII and Vietnam did, which both spawned countless works of art and discussion.

Also it would be cool to have a Korean War game because all my Korean grandparents (even my grandmothers) fought in the war, and it would be cool to show them a virtual recreation of their harrowing past, etc.

But seriously, a Korean War game would be kind of hard to implement in my opinion. The main military tactic used by the Chinese were mass infantry charges, and there's probably not enough players who can organize those charges again and again.

Just saying.

[ediko]

It's not like PR Falklands/Korea/Vietnam/WW2 or whatever would be like PR:Arma. It would just be new maps not different versions.
And I personally would be happier to see Falklands and not Korea.
I like Falklands war more because it is less known. However it definitely would require ship engagements or at least static ships and maps and unit's and whatnot which would take too much time and effort.
Too bad its not gonna happen.

[Hitperson]

besides there was never actually a falklands war (it was a conflict).
but with the ammount of work that has gone into PR in the last 5/6 years think about how long these other projects would take to get implemented.
