no the insurgents will, like they have been doing the past 4 years or how ever long we have been in iraq.

good enough for me!

and we couldnt just put the MEC in , mainly because they have different weapons, different vehicles, different everything and are pretty much completely different.

Iraqi people are killing Iraqi people. It's called a civil war...

You should've made a poll in creating this thread...But ISF (Iraqi Security Forces) would be a nice addition to PR so much.Along with the Russians,Germans/KFOR,NATO,and Isreal...brits. need an Insurgency map,just like U.S. do!That's why Duckhunt is making one for U.S.

ISF could get one later,if they're put into PR.

And yes,exactly Morgan,Iraq is in Civil War right now,basically...But it's not near as bad as civil war in Mogadishu,Somalia.

I think any nation that is in civil war is pretty bad off. Also, I'm pretty sure there are many more casualties in Iraq than Somalia, especially considering the fact that Iraq has 3x the population of Somalia. Theres bad **** in both, but Iraq is about as bad as it gets.

Back on topic.

I second (third?) Rhino, but for a more pragmatic reason. Making an Iraqi faction would waste valuable time the DEVs could spend working on gameplay fixes. Gameplay fixes > one army change.

If PR were to realistically represent what is going on in Iraq at this time, then yes, an IP/IA faction would be warranted. However, that is not the setting for the mod.

i thought up a map counter attk insurgents taking over a iraqi police base or city.

No Iraqi police faction, unless of course a suitable team makes one.

It wouldn't really require much work. Reskin the MEC models + kits and the pickup truck with a mounted .50cal on it. They would use AK47 and maybe even M16A2 but the actual question is what would it add to the mod itself. I guess nothing new so it's pointless IMO.

battlepepsi · Post by **battlepepsi** » 2008-01-21 21:50

bundeswehr yay but still it would be awesome if ip was in pr but i guess you would have to create the iraqi army and more maps and more guns and stuff

From wikipedia:

The Iraqi police are equipped with AK-47s, Glock pistols, body armor, pick-up trucks and SUVs.

The average Iraqi soldier's gear consist of a 6-colored "chocolate-chip" uniform or Desert Battle Unifrom, a PASGT ballistic helmet, ballistic vest, web gear, radio, grenades and an AK-47 or, depending on the unit, M16 rifle.

*Threads merged, My OT comment no longer really applies*

Guys this is Soooo offtopic its not even funny and it hurts. I think it made it up to and including Wastelands post of information. Then it degraded into who the next faction should be when, Id imagine none of you are gonna work on them, only suggest

Get back on topic, if theres anything else to say about the Iraqi Police, say it here. otherwise...don't post. Don't bring other faction ideas/dreams/fantasies into this thread.

Not much room for discussion, but um... go?

[uBp]Irish · Post by **[uBp]Irish** » 2008-01-23 03:26

this is again offtopic...

but..

isnt PR set somewhere in the future?

so why are we focusing on stuff at the present?

I think that means, basically, that its realistic everything but politics. Well, within reason of course. Sure its based off of whats going on now, but say the US and Britain just pulled out tomorrow and let the insurgents take over, PR wouldnt kick itself into gear and make the Iraqi Army and then remove the British and Americans... get the idea?

Thats just how I like to think of it...

might just be me being tired and confused after what seems like forever studying Computer Vision and Image Processing, but:

1. didnt someone else make this thread only a few days ago and not 12-17-07?
2. I know I posted a detailed post on another faction (it was off topic, I know, but I know there were other posts there aswell that arent here now) I also seem to see posts I havent seen before in this thread.

then again, it might just be me, or maybe there is a glitch in the matrix
