Well technically MEC is also Asian

The Middle East is a part os Asia right?
Anyway yeah... PLA does fit as an asian faction but i ment other possible factions like Taiwan, South Korea or even Japan. Other asian factions that could be made as OPFOR could be Myanmar, North Korea or perhaps a south-east asian country like Indonesia.

The Argentine faction project was indeed a modern version of the Falklands War. The general idea of that project is that the Argentine Forces launch a new invasion on the Malvinas/Falklands and the british forces will have to stop them and get them out. They even started working on some maps for it. I can't really tell if they're still working on it or they have abandoned it. The Argentinian forces faction was ment to focus on the Argentinian Marines since they pretty much use similar equipment to the USMC ergo making it a relatively easy faction to make. Eventually they were to go for the Argentinian Army which uses different equipment.
I'll go ask some of the guys in charge of that project so I can be sure what's the status of that project.
At an early stage of that project it was suggested that perhaps instead of an argentine faction there could be a larger fictional coalition of nations of South America united for their opposition to the US and NATO. That idea came from the proposed "Defence Council for South America" that is to act a defence organism that would help south american nations help to coordinate their efforts against any possible foreign aggresion.
Currently there's a wave of leftists president in South America that are known to be pretty critical and even cynical towards the United States and Europe. The big boss we can highlight from this group is Hugo Chavez.
Ok back to such possible faction... The problem is that the different armies of South America have a small issue of trusting each other and it's a trend that comes from decades ago. Ergo the possibility of a huge union of these armies sounds highly unlikely in this universe...

That not to mention that although all south america speaks spanish (Except for Brazil), many countries have their own accents and sometimes it gets a bit hard to understand each other. For an argentine... the way how a mexican speaks is quite weird, even funny. I bet the mexicans have the same feeling about the argentine accent.
But meh... other factions like the FARC or the ELN do sound interesting as well. Combat in the jungle.

That'd be fun. Or maybe make a colombian drug cartel faction.

And we give the "dealers"faction a nice selection of weaponry.
Anyway... we should first get half of the current faction projects done before we talk "seriously" about new ones.
