3 factions on a map ?

Is it possible in the BF2 engine to put 3 factions on the same map ? Exemple: a USMC and Canadian Forces joint assault on a MEC base. It would add a little something I think, and I kinda find it interresting

No...
The only thing you can do to come close to this is mix the vehicles like how we have put an M2A3 Bradley on Fallujah which has the USMC on it, even thou its a US Army vehicle, to simulate US Army vehicle support (as they did though the real battle).

Yes and no. You can't define three factions, only two. The only thing you could do to sort of simulate a joint assault, is to sort of share vehicles and define the player models in the spawnscreen as both USMC and Canadian soldiers, but request kits can only be from one faction, so you'll end up with USMC soldiers wearing Canadian kit geos or vice versa. All in all not a decent option.

I see... Well sharing vehicules is the best you can do and is thus the best option

Thanks for answering !

no F/A-18C/D RCAF asset exists for PR, and Canadian forces have no gunship overall.
KAshan without CAS isnt even kashan. The inf layer has CAS even
Desert leos would be cool, but textures would be needed.

I am pretty sure I saw somewhere that somebody make US vs China vs MEC on one vBF2 map, can't remember where. Will update when I found this.
I searched whole BF2 Edit forum, on place when I thought I saw it but, didn't found it.
Damn, I could check this better when I saw this first times, since now after few years I might not be able to find it again.

Maybe it was in
another place.
Well, maybe that's not what you saw, this is what it says:
Zatar Wetlands
===========
* MEC & CHINA vs US
* MEC/Chinese air units, ground units and soldiers operate under the Chinese flag.
* AA vehicle added to each northern CP
* Third AT added to south CP
* Transport choppers at MEC/China airbase replaced by attack chopper
* Double spawn added to US Fighter at airfield..
* 2 x AT positions added to Central CP having commanding views over northern CP's
Since "MEC" and China are acting under the Chinese flag, maybe it's just like Fallujah.

No, I remember that there was a picture, which wasn't Zatar Wetlands for sure. I think it was on Dalian Plant, but I'm not sure.

Could be interresting if you find it
Also, Canada do have CAS. The two miniguns of the CH-146 can be locked aiming to the front of the helicopter and operated by the pilot. Of course, it's useless against tanks
vBF2 do have a F-18 model, but I seriously don't know why the PR devs don't want to put it in the game

They could just re-texture it and job done !

Because they could get in trouble I think for editing vBF2 models.

it's an E, not a C or D. The Superhornet, and Hornet are substantially different aircraft. Also, the model grossly undersized last time I heard.
