[Proposal] The Army of the Democratic Republic of Congo Faction

[Brummy]

I'm not considering a fictional faction at this moment. I'd rather stick to something that has limits, but is something I can imagine. I prefer a real faction 100%.

Anyway, I'd consider a fictional faction a possibility to change into later, not at this moment though.

Oh and we're looking into having different weapons.

[AnimalMother.]

Is the FN-FNC or FN-CAL used around there much? could be possible surely?

Nope. Only in South Africa, and used to in Rhodesia, which is Zimbabwe now, only in the sixties though.

EDIT:

Uploaded new Design Plan. Changed some weapons, etc.

[Brummy]

Hehe, any help is welcome .

[rangedReCon]

Why not do an African Union? Also it's totally not fictional.

[BetterDeadThanRed]

DRC is fine.

[STORM-Mama]

Guess you will use the colored US soldiers as models for the infantry? What language will they speak? French? The idea with an African faction is wonderful, btw. Africa, even though so many wars are fought there, is not really represented in any FPS-games at all.

Who will they be fighting? I think the PLA is a pretty good idea to bring some light to the current Chinese presence in many African countries. MEC will also work. I dislike the idea with "westerners against everybody else". Let at least the Africans be friends with the brits and amis, will you?

[ReaperMAC]

Yes!! We'll put them on Okita's BHD map

[bosco_]

Haha, yeah

[EOD_Security-2252]

DRC could speak English, French or other. No matter what new sound files are needed to give the soldiers an African sounding voice. US soldier models shoudln't be used because the USMC soldier is very African American, and not so African (there is a real difference, you can tell).
FN FALs or SA58s are definately neccessary for the mod because the region has a lot because they used to be Beligian colonies.
Here is a site with some good pictures of SA58s to model after:
SA58 Collector Series-D S Arms
If you don't believe me about them using FNs/SA58s just look:




Finally, the reason there are no African war games is because there is always massive amounts of genocide and civilian deaths that would have to be included in the game if they wanted it to be even remotely realistic.

How about adding in the RPK? Maybe just as a pick up kit or something...

Hey guys,

I'd like to start a new community faction concerning the military forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (will be DR of Congo from now on ). PR lacks a bit of OPFOR in my opinion, so this will be a perfect addition.
Another possible cause could also be that China is currently trading Oil with them.

Heh, [R-mod]Brummy stated OPFPR, so I am going to assume Brits, American, Canadians, Germans and everything else will be fighting against them.

[Pride]

The voices will be French, as they are already included in BF2.

FN FAL will most likely not be used, as very very few, if no, African Nations use it. The AK is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more common.

Soldiers will most likely be reskinned militia, without the woolly hats and such


Yes, i have been helping Brum with the planning of this

[azn_chopsticks_boi]

Woolly Hats in Africa?!?!

Wont that be hot?

[nicoX]

There is allot of sensitiveness and politics involved in African nations and particularly the Congo conflicts with it's high rate of civilian genocide.

lol, I missed that part. Well, I guess its more likely that they would join up with the Chinese or MEC for obvious reasons...

[Scot]

I can texturise if anyone has UV Map of anything, ill post up my quick effort on the stock in a sec which isnt complete btw!

[Brummy]

Testing if my new faction (basically copied Brits ) Works.
