While i would like to see a lot of mods merging contents you also need to think about the other mods devs, if we take everything from every mod there will be no point to play the other mods, but i would love to see a huge mod that got factions vehicles and weapons and statics from other mods with the PR gameplay

OPK is part of BSS, look at the BSS site, so I am sure they will let you guys use their models, or something...

'[R-DEV wrote:eggman']Let's not slag the work of other modders on these forums pls. PoE is a tremendous achievement in many ways and I hate slagging the work of modders and particularly don't like it coming from within our community.
Sorry eggman. I'm not bashing the POE team. I am just remarking that for whatever reason POE does not have a very large player base at all. I think the vehicles and statics in POE2 are awesome and there are far more new things than PR has. I don't know why POE2 has so few players, I liked the mod much more than vBF2 and if it was not for PR I would play POE2.

I always though putting efforts together throughout mods was a great idea. So far there are many things in PR that were taken from USI, and I guess USI also has stuff from PR now ( can't tell cause been a long time since I played it)
Anyways, I'm for a complete merging. More statics + more vehicles + more armies + PR gameplay. Jeez, all I ever wanted

Also... I believe the player comunity will grow even bigger and we might have a mod that will stand to almost any game (wich game has more than 5 armies in modern warfare so far?) and will suit all tastes.

Clypp wrote:OPK should merge with PR. Why make mods that will never get popular? This is no offense to OPK but the BF2 mod community is too small to support many mods especially ones that are similar to each other.
OPK and PR doesn't really have that similar gameplay, imo. Wouldn't a merger of OPK and POE2 feel more natural? Or is that just me?
That said, the concept of PR minimods for other mods (using their maps, assets etc but changing gameplay to something similar to PR) is an interesting one. Doubt those other mods would be very happy about it though..

Interesting dicussion here.... ^^
Think OPK will continue their work, we still have our own timeline. And sure, we sharing content with PR.
All I know is that the USMC using the UH1Y, the german army using UH1D.
For the next release the gameplayposition of OPK ist between PR and arcade-BF2,
But many of the OPK member like the PR gameplay too.
In the past ther was a try to merge OPK with POE, but there was no chance to do this for us as 50:50 partner.

LoooL!
What kind of a conflict is this? Where have you seen it?
We are Project Reality, were talking realism here!
Change Germans to Bosnians if you want realism!!!

I will have to disagre
In real life USA is not fighting mec and PLA
so i think the storyline dosent need to be that realistic, and since mec is fictional we can have a fictional storyline
The more important thing is to keep the gameplay realistic not the storyline
The best thing would be a union of all the bf2 mods making 2 mods with all the factions and vehicles and weapons from all those mods (if they are on the same timeline of course)
And then we would have one huge mod with realistic gameplay with all that stuff and also a download with arcade gameplay
It would be the best mod ever, vanilla players could go to the arcade servers and PR players to the realistic servers (2 separete downloads)
Of course that is only my dream and will probably never come true

Well PLA, MEC and US conflicts are vannila heretage... and maybe even fictionally possible, but Germany vs Serbia conflict is even fictionaly impossible! Thare are few other European countrys between them if you dont know.
You can change Germany side to EUF (European Union Forces) and Serbian side to EAC (Euro-Asia Coalition) and things can work, atleest fictionaly.
If we want real world conflicts, we must skinn and create something new, Africans with Russian weapons and call it
SKINNIES (as we have Insurgents now) vs.
Regular Army (also Black skin models with eastern arms) or
Mercenaries with Western weaponery.
now this would be a great and realistic conflict!
This would open gates to simulating manny new real world conflicts from Somalia to Sierra Leone.
Hope someone from DEV's read this...

'[R-DEV wrote:eggman']The OPK Huey is a gorgeous model, as are all the OPK assets imo.
But it's the wrong kinda Huey for the USMC. They stopped using single engine Huey's a long time ago.
Well, a partially finished Huey is better than nothing, right?

Just tweak it and clone the engine?
Oh yeah - and please add multiple howitzer barrels on the side

anyways......i do not think that combined mods would be best, but if they allowed thier models 2 be use would work the best. the i am sure PoE has alot of ppl playing, when i play PoE, there r quite alot of ppl on there

OPK is based on the realistic KFOR-engagement of the german Army in Kosovo.
the base of our conflict. ^^
And germany was ein 1999 engaged in a real conflict, part of the nato attack on serbia.
there are many BSS-discussions still in porgress about sharing this, can I take that,...^^
be sure. OPK will use some of the smaller PR -Statics (concretebarriers, barbwire...) for 0.2.
f.e.:
more can be found here, our dev diary:

well there was an air campaign (lasted abouth a wheek or so...) during that conflict but with no ground troops engagement what so ever.
KFOR was just an observer. German role in that conflict was particulary "sencitive", if you know what i mean.

i cant wait for EOD 2, tell those guys to get going, that is probably the most fun mod i have ever played, even more fun the FH, its without a doubt the oldest to, it is wise and grand, i hope the BF2 version will be as sweet as the orig

Good to see some devs from OPK here. Awesome mod OPK has.
In any case, I doubt it's as simple as just using the other team's content at will. I'm guessing you would still kindly ask for their consent, and probably would avoid using another mod team's work so you don't become highly dependant on another team's work. Otherwise, one team might be looked upon as some sort of "Freeloader" to say.
For the most part, I'd love to see those EoD watchtowers for some of PR's jungle maps.
