Even Ahmadinejad is pleased.
Supposed Persians speaking BF2 Arabic would feel alot more "kiddy" to me than the current MEC faction
Worse yet, actually... it would feel like a stupid semi-racist action movie ("they've got dark beards, they're all the same")

Bump - Is this going to happen? I would love to see Iran in PR. I think keeping MEC but at the same time creating IRAN out of MEC is the best option.

As long as nobody does it, then no. it won't happen. The PR team has more pressing concerns. But would be lovely to see this as a comfac as usual
Also remember that we only have bijar canyons and jabal(I think) as Iranian inspired map. It wouldn't make too much sense placing them on the others. You would ideally need a new map(or more) to put some actual thought into making a faction. A faction without maps is useless.

Don't forget Kashan Desert
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashan
Can we not just add in Iran to Jabal, Bijar & Kashan as a seperate layer ?
I mean we have a CAN & US Layer on Kashan so it's doable surely?

Muttrah would be a possible map too. Iran tries to control the Persian Golf, even if Muttrah is in the Gulf of Oman it still would make sense. And far more realistic than having MEC there, it would actually make sense that US defends (they have huge presents in that region and are training the UAE army IIRC) and Iran attacks with couple RIPs and transport choppers
United Arab Emirates Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But as Mineral said, find someone which want to do the job otherwise it is not going to happen.

I'm sure that if the US or Israel were to enter into an active engagement with Iran, then we would see a revival of this thread, some conceptual designs, and the like.

Which type of "staff" do we need exactly for this project Mineral ? Curiosity.

modelers,texture artists, exporters, Voice actors, BF2 coders, mappers. pretty much an entire team. Like any other comfac. Just look it up on this forum.

not quite, if you look at it from a design plan point of view you got maps 100% done, weapons 100% done, voices 100% done, vehicles 100% done, tbh the main thing that needs doing is new textures for vehicles, a reshuffle of kits and a few asset changes on some maps. sure that's more work then it sounds but its no where near the task of building a faction from scratch, the MEC is basically the Iranian army already. a few ambitious texture artists might be all that's needed to finish the MECs transformation from BF2 fiction to PRs reality.

We had 100%
Farsi voices done?
Well, shit, son, if you think they're that far along in, step up and get the fuck to work finishing it. The way you make it sound, it couldn't require much more effort than you're already putting into posts on the forum demanding the mod be made to your liking.

There are a few key models missing but yes, most of the work is texturing work and for those missing elements we have a few place holders for many of the missing items, but its still a lot of work to do even on just the texturing side. And as Eddie said, voices are at 0%, although yes you could use Arabic as a place holder but you would still need some in the long run.

seriously chill out Eddie its simply a normal "civilised" discussion about a possible faction development for the MEC there's no need to mouth off that way. also given that my future has nothing to do with computer work at all or the fact that I don't find it an interesting hobby I lack the motivation to make the Iranian army for pr, that doesnt mean someone else might want to do it and if so they might want to know that. also Farsi voices aren't that big a deal, sure PRs fan base in Iran might be a little insulted but I don't think most people will even care. no one seems to mind that the African resistance faction doesn't speak localised Arabic after all. I hope you don't join conversations like that in real life man just relax a little more

The MEC use G3 as their main rifle.
Other than that, the MEC could be one of many Middle-Eastern military powers. Not to mention many Pakistani units use the G3 also. But then the reliance on MiGs and SUs and the complete absence of the Tomcat F14 means the MEC really just aren't the Iranian Armed forces.
We need to forget this obsession with Iran on these forums, jheez

We could make inumerous factions by retexturing a few things and using already made maps and weapons. But it wouldn't feel like it's something new. The very least a new map representing the conflict from said army would be a step forward.

Yeah I never understood it myself. Think the mec are fine as they are, no need to replace them. Hell the MEC are so fine that we can do what ever we want with the faction, in relation to what other ME countries have in their arsenal.

I thought voices would be the easiest to do

We would need Farsi voice actors. Anyways, the MEC is enough. More adaptable and has pretty much the same weapons..

Hello guys
Sorry for bumping the topic up.
One of my friends who plays PR directed me to this topic and said that Farsi voice acters are kind of needed.
I've registered on the forums to say that I can help record the voices that you need , (I'm Iranian), and I might be able to bring one or more friends to do more voice acting if needed.
I myself can't play PR

do to my very weak sight, I'm blind, TBH. but since my friends asked and If it's going to help a community, I'm willing to help with voice acting.
Cheers

Welcome to the forum Parsa!
If you've got time to do that, that would be just awesome! But do you have an actual adult voice, like real soldier? Also you might need one girl voice, there are just a few lines by female voices in game if i recall it correctly. Though you might as well voice it by male, doesn't matter much I guess. DEVs should comment here soon about your offer.
I don't know much about voicing, but I might help to the cause a little bit with texturing Iranian aircrafts and choppers.
