I can't see them fighting each either, China doesn't come close to having the resources to advance through the artic conditions of Siberia, and Russia would not hesitate to deploy nuclear weapons against China if they began closing in on Moscow. Russia couldn't advance through China either, in fact I doubt any country in the world could launch any sort of offensive on China due to their manpower.
U.S andd U.K are obvious allies. The MEC really doesn't seem like they would hold any real "allies". I just see the MEC using their oil to strike deals with countries such as Russia and China. Perhaps in some sense the MEC attacked Isreal for religous or expansion purposes. That could possibly be enough for the U.S to declare war on the MEC. Perhaps with both Russia and China holding key oil wells in the middle-east, they only wish to protect their shares.
For whatever reason U.S attacks Chinese or Russian oil wells, they too enter the war. However the only cooperative alliance I can see is the U.S and U.K, since they are simular. Overall though I generally feel that oil is not enough to have 5 countries going at it.
Gotta agree. Work with the armies and military we already have and just add in new custom maps. China has regions which are coldier to the north, so if you want snow, go there. It does snow in China you know.
If you want to add a new faction, then the UN could be a possible choice for the future if you look at what they do.
But MEC would never align with any other countries because of their religion. It is already hard to believe that all the or some of the Middle East came together to form one military force since they have "huge" differences and past wars.
China and the US in a conflict is pretty believable though and it is possible that that could happen in the near future. It is basically like a cold war that is just not as visible between the US and China now. You get two countries that big and powerful, there is bound to be some kind of conflict or something happen, ie. US cold war with Russia.
IMO, stick with the factions we have now because there really isn't any good storylines unless you want to do the BF2:Special Forces semi storyline which actually worked.
Russia against Chechyn(sp?) rebels
British against MEC
British against Russia(not as believable)
Russia supplies arms to the Chinese and the MEC somehow recieve or steal them from Russia, so wars inbetween them is very unlikely along with them aligning because of political, religious, or past conflicts.
As of now, we need more jungle maps and actually good open desert maps with lots of rolling hills purhaps, or ancient Chinese city maps.(think Hue from BFV).
The jungle maps like Steel Thunder are a real hit now, so we should focusing on give the people a little more of that and then focus on something else like snow. There could also be better laid out urban maps as well.
