Of course you're not going to make a whole new type of insurgents, you could just mention that in the map briefing.

Iraqi Police/Military are currently assisting in the fight against the insurgents. Amazing! Or how about Israel Vs Palestine. List goes on really. It's not just the western world that condones terrorism.

Terranova wrote:Who says the Insurgents fighting against the U.S would be the same Insurgents fighting the MEC? We do know that they're are many groups and beliefs out there, so it's plausible to say that the Insurgents faction could very well be fighting anyone, as they simply don't represent one group.

And assuming the MEC are some sort of "Empire" it's pretty likely that they would be dealing with local rebellions and such. We can call the Insurgents that are opposed to the MEC something like "The Persian Resistance". Those who support the MEC; I like to think of them as the "vietcong" of the war depicted in PR. So we can call them "The People's Alliance" or something. Maybe we can slightly distinguish the two with some different skins, that way we can use pug's idea with Insurgents v.s Insurgents.

I'm so sick of this "You say the MEC would support terrorists OMG U R TEH RACIST!" No. Stop trying to win every discussion by calling the other side racist. The MEC would likely support terrorists because they're fighting the US in the first place. Its like saying its racist that the Germans never fought the Japanese or Italians in BF1942. If they were opposed to the Taliban, Al Qiada, etc, why wouldn't they be allied with the US?

Should the MEC fight insurgents? I think not. Having the new Iraqi army fight insurgents would make more sense, but not a coalition of Middle Eastern nations that is supposed to be opposed to the US.

Come to think of it, why not have insurgents fight other, slightly different looking insurgents in some way or another? After all, the Taliban fought the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.

I believe the stereotype comment was in relations to:

"If we wanted modern day situations we would make a map where it's MEC vs Insurgents except the only available class for MEC would be riflemen without any rifle, so all they could do is run around the insurgents throwing down ammo everywhere. Pretty realistic if you ask me."

I refuse to comment on stereotypes but a little dismissive i think, rather unhelpful in respects, in trying to carefully consider of the idea.

On a real response, it would be cool, but not really enjoyable. It would be like a Turk playing a American civil war level. The whole US/British vs Insurgents is based in a reality and thats why it works.

But I wouldn't be opposed to playing that level. Yell you the truth, Its more about the level then the side I'm on.
