'[R-CON wrote:azn_chopsticks_boi;711594']Perhaps a modern day Argentina forces, with this way, there could be US Army, GB, Germany etc. Vs. Argentina Force.
Ohhhhh... Funny that you mention it because I'm a german citizen currently living in Argentina and I got both argentinian and german family (I'm 50-50 german-argentinian 8) ). So such maps will create a conflict in my dual patriotism XD Imagine that.... LMAO

As for a modern day Argentina VS UK war... the idea is very interesting. I'd love to see an argentinian faction.
And as for the story's background... UNASUR has currently no plans to have an army (Although some brazilians officials did propose something like that) and the CDS was announced as something that is not going to be like NATO although I admit that Hugo Chavez may have such plans. I wouldn't be surprised if he really pretends to be in command of a United South American Army (If you ask me I'd call it the Union of Bolivarian Socialist Republics) :lol:
Matias... if you want to follow the UNASUR army idea or the original Argentinian army you gotta decide that before you start working on the stuff you'll need for this. I'd rather prefer the Argentinian Army ;)

The deseo la mejor de las suertes y despues tal vez me una al foro de ustedes. :thumbsup:
(I wish you the best of lucks and I may join your forum later on)

Txs Panzerfire, you are invited to our forum just like the rest of the players that can handle the spanish lenguage.

As i read the news i notice that the Chile President, Brasilian President, Venezuela President and a few more are willing to make the CDS a reality, let see waht the time say.

Well the CDS will become reality but I don't think it'll have much real power (Nor I want it to have). I think it'll be just another debate club XD
Besides... Most militaries here in S. America are pretty nationalist. I hardly see argentinian, chilean, brazilians, etc. soldiers being together. Chavez and his followers may be wanting it to be so but in the practice I see that as really dificult task.
A United South American Army would have a pretty big manpower based mostly on Brazil, Chile and Venezuela. If we look at the argentinian army in comparison to the ones of our neighbours... well... I don't want to say this as an offence but The Ejercito Argentino is not really in good shape. But such a union of armies would be actually a great help if the objective was take on the Malvinas/Falklands by force.

Meh... Until then.... :roll:

But I still prefer we have Argentinian Army alone :D You guys gonna work on the voices right? Ahhhh.... that's gonna be so awesome.

PS: Tal vez me grabe el PR y el mini-mod argentino y lo haga circular gratuitamente por los cybers (Y muchos querran instalarlo) si lo llegan a hacer realidad :D
(I may record PR and the argentinian mini-mod and have it distributed for free on cybers (And many surelly will install it) if it ever comes to reality :D )

I'm half Peru half Canada and I support the making of South American factions for PR because they're awesome and we need opfor/bluefor factions from there! THE MORE THE MERRIER! :grin:

Haha!, yes, will do the voices, my self and others are willing to do it, actually we have many people who want to help in severals ways but no one can handle the modeling that is needed.

If I knew how to model and had the time I'd help you :(
Unfortunately I'm just another noobish gamer XD

Anyway... The nice thing about the argentinian faction is that a lot of the stuff needed is already there :D
Last time I saw the 9th July military parades I saw the Army (Although I wasn't sure if they were the Arg. Marines) using not just the FN FAL but also M16s and Steyr AUG... One it's done and the other I think it's being made ATM by the Australian community mod.
Well... one thing is sure... This faction would have some good variety of weapons :D

And I agree with Tannhauser... It was about time someone suggested a South American faction :thumbsup:
I'm also keen on seeing a Japanese (JSDF) faction for PR. ;) But I don't see that coming anytime soon.

For me, the inversion faster, it would enable, Argentina Marines vs UK Army, I still have not seen USMC vs. UK ....
to avoid having to "create" any kind of 3D model (which are missing programmers). And assemble a couple of maps, such at the moment as it took the "Militia" with Fools Road and Assault at Mestia.

Do you have any data to back up these ranges?

I have a question for the people that have experience on 3D modeling and so:
This models are good to use in the PR for this mod?

FN FAL Assault Rifle 3ds dwg max by Grokodaemon - royalty free 3d models and textures

If it does we only need the skins, i believe that we have a few people for the mapping.

Errr... you are going to buy a 3-D model? Hmmm.... Well... if you have permission from the author you could use any 3-D model. However I don't think it's allowed to use one that has been bought. If you do have permission from the author then may be the devs will accept it.

Does anyone knows a SKINNING tutorial for bf2 soldiers?

I did find many mapping tutorials, but i did not find anything on skin creations for BF2. Ill like to see if i can handle the challenge and make one skin. Txs.

It's way, WAY too high poly. That's 15-16000 polies if I read correctly, and the rough BF2 limit is about 3-4000 triangles for 1st person models. A polygon can be made up of a lot of triangles, so that's nowhere near what you'll be looking for, I'm afraid.

Aswell as the sinking of the Belgrano, 12,000 argentines surrendererd.


Post given infraction points for being completely off-topic. -M
I think thats an insult, and what about the UK losses on the Islands, the ships, lot of them, you never sank our Carrier. And the british army said,
"Argentines airforce never seen battle, until now, they are brave pilots, whitout any experience (combat), they manage to defeat our modern defensives systems and sunk our ships."

Have a little of brain, and respect for those people who died.

Btw, Peruvian Air forces helped the Argentinain Airforce, and a "Invasion of Argentina" would be awesome, whit heavy Tank to Tank battle, between the Powerfull Challenger 2, to the Patagonian special tank TAM. Awesome!

Im supporting this Mod, i will start mapping

Don't worry Torenico... "Robbo" has been warned about it already.

As for you mapping for this that'd be awesome. If such project is to take place it'd need a few models of its own (Luckily it ain't as many as other factions have to work on) and original maps. :D So maps would make a great addition to this.

One question for which I'm still scratching my head. Are the maps going to be about:
A) The original 1982 combats with modern gear?
B) Or... brand new combat scenarios?


Also.... Would this be limited to the Falklands/Malvinas Is. or it could also include localities in the Argentinian continental territory. Who knows? We could make a "Buenos Aires" map were the british want to take on the city attacking from this ship: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f66-co ... n-wip.html
A British Marine take over on the city...

Hi!
I'm EmanuelDC and also a [HELL] clan member. Those are images of the first movements of the Argentine strike at the islands.

Image

and a nice view of Puerto Argentino/Port Stanley airfield I think

Image

that could help to the mapping task.
But our first priority and need is get a modeler or a BF2 valid 3d model of the FN FAL and other guns may be.

Also there's the RAF chronicles of the battle's

Falkland Islands - A history of the 1982 conflict

Panzerfire: we attempt to make a modern combat on Falklands maps. We didnt think yet in a British invasion to Buenos Aires, but we discard nothing. would be the A) optinon :)

I have notice that the Allied Intent Extended Mod allready has a FN FAL 3D Model for the chinese forces. I mail the DevTeam at [email protected] but the postmaster return my mail, it say it was delayed. There is any other mail where i can ask permission for it?
