Militia VS US Army in Michigan.

I live close to the area around West Point and Indian Point It would make an amazing pr map if only i new how to map I would love to create it.

I find it funny how many people from the cities in the U.S. like to sympathize with the idea of an urban, city map.

Anyhow, I live in a rural area. If there was to be a rural map, (based on where I live,) there would just be rows and rows of square fields, small lines of brush as "windbreakers in between, and a small group of houses or single house every 0.5 km. or so (probably more distance than that in some places) every now and then. If there was a town, it would basically be a long stretch of houses on either side of a road and an intersection with a "petrol" station. Based on LOOKING OUTSIDE, and the plainness of this idea, I believe it would seem VERY boring. A large map with aircraft, maybe, but not ideal infantry (too big) and vehicle (they'd have to stay on the road the entire time because fields are so bumpy) warfare.

However, I think that having a map, maybe in the Appalachian Mts., like eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, West Virgina, etc. would be absolutely awesome. I've done my fair share of exploring that area of the country, and if there were an invasion of the U.S., the enemy would have a hell of a time trying to take that area. And it provides a small supply of the U.S.'s wind energy (hint hint: those wind turbines in Wanda Shan would look sexy.) Not to mention, the populace of that area would, could, and will resist. (Hillbillies with a shotgun, YEEHAW! (and I'm not being stereotypical, I just know the people very well))

If anyone would take this into consideration, I would be very pleased.

Yeah, but seriously, if someone invaded Europe or the United States, would they really go after the rural farmland and towns?
Their first objective would be to capture the command and control centers, military headquarters, and civic government buildings.
In other words, cities.

Of course, but in that "war", there are also farmlands to move through, in order to capture the next city. At least that's how I think of it.

He means the Armored Fury expansion pack, where the US is invaded by China/MEC.

Lol ye i meant armored fury... cant believe i forgot the name after i played the booster pack for so long... main post edited due to my epic fail!

Armored Core=/=Armored Fury
No no, hey, dont get me wrong, i'd love hyper-advanced mechwarriors in PR... would really be something to brag about killing when on INS.

I dream about a map set in the US that has US militia/insurgents fighting their Russian or Chinese overlords.

PR: Fallout


who says that western maps would have to be palced in cities? there is much more rural area than urban area all over europe. and if you look at the area where i am living :

(remove the [img] if its too big)
it reminds me of Arma 2 chernorusk (or whats its name?) and dont say it would be boring for infantry. a few changes in the common AAS layouts (make CPs only stratetic points, like those villages, or hilltop, but not somewhere in the woods-.-) the role of infantry would be very important because they would be highly mobile on the road or with transport helicopters.
and dont say its not realistic, its actually a photography and there have been heavy armor battles and bombings in this area during WW2. (Saarland/SaarLorLux, important area of coal and steel industry)

I'm just gonna toss a few ideas for western-style maps out there...

1. Russia is attacking Poland and a hasty defense is set up at the crossroads at Stanislawow to counter the Russian flank move around the main defense at Radzymin and Wolomin.
2. The Russian attack is thankfully halted and a counter-attack is made through the forests around Ruciane-Nida.
3. Germany launches an offensive through the Ukraine and a key part is the airborne assault at Donetsk, which centers around the airport.
4. The Russian Spetznatz attacks key NORAD installations in Canada in preparation for a major cross-pole attack.
5. The Spetznatz succeeded at several of those installations and Russia has landed forces in Alberta. They are moving south toward a wintery Edmonton but are engaged in the forests to the city's north.
6. An airborne taskforce attacks Eilson AFB near Fairbanks.
7. The Russians have pushed all the way to Minnesota and are threatening Intl Falls. However, the MNG can't get there in time to defend the city. So local hunters and gun enthusiasts, with guidance from veterans, prepare to hold off the Russian advance on the city limits until the MNG arrives. I think this map has a lot of potential for vehicle creativity, like R22s and Cessnas that passengers can fire out of. There would also be a plentiful supply of AR-15s and the like as well as the potential for a reversed insurgency mode, with gun safes and gun stores in homes and people's basements. An RC Gary with a 40-minute spawn is an interesting idea as well.

With the US and Canadian Armies tied up overseas and only National Guardsman and understrength regular Army units to put up a defense, an American campaign has a lot of potential. Many people think of America as being the US, but America includes Canada, Mexico and South America and the Caribbean. There is also the option to create some insurgency maps based off the drug wars in Mexico and Columbia. I also think something like a Russian raid on a North Sea oil platform is feasible. So is an IRA insurgency map. I like the idea of some anarchist militia rising up to cause trouble with a state government, and it is certainly possible.

Thoughts?

[Imchicken1]

I dont think the Militia/insurgents/Taliban would be doing any big time invading. Maybe make it set in the Louisiana Bayous?

Creating a western map would require ALOT of new statics. The current statics that PR has wouldnt suit a western map, afaik

[mat552]

If someone can provide statics that are up to PR's specifications, I'll certainly have a go at it.

ELEVEN NINE NINE EMERGENCY, THEY HAVE GUNSHIPS, I REPEAT GUNSHIPS. NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY, AMERIcA IS UNDER ATTACK

my first thought was world in conflict

[Foxxy]

That be so sweet if we had a map in the US and we gave the Militia American Voices and diffrent weaponry lol. It be like something out of Red Dawn

[dtacs]

Closest realistic alternative is to have a Russian invasion of Alaska or northern Canada, similarly to how Bad Company 2 ended.

[Qubetube]

Another idea would be to make some sort of PR add-on, separate from the main game download so that we wouldn't have to worry about that getting too big to download in a reasonable time. Like a huge Project Reality: Armored Fury. Project Reality: American Incursion.

whats with balkan war? the georgian-russian Caucasus war? the iran? cmon, there are more then enough realistic scenarios.
russia is blufor imo, so i dont think its realistic to let them invade canada or alaska.

[Qubetube]

I wouldn't exactly call Russia an ally. They're really freaking out about that defensive missile shield NATO is putting up in Europe. I don't see why there couldn't be an engagement between Russia and the US or Canada on our home soil. I wouldn't be surprised if there are plans for it already. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if the Pentagon has plans drawn up for eastern Russia.

[DeltaCommando]

It would be... funny (?) to see MEC wearing woodland camouflage for the first time in history of FPS games!

Just because we disagree on some issues doesnt make us enemies. The movies and the past of cold war make an image of russians as enemies in your head. In reality we're pretty the same. We're mostly a christian country, we have our war on terrorism(which in some cases has connection to the broader war on terrorism) and we both are power and influence hungry assbags
FYI, out of Russia's 1100 year history, only 70 years were under communism.
But for the game, I think it would be really cool to have a Alaska map, where Russia wants to retake it after only realizing that they have been ripped off 100 years ago XD
