Have you ever wondered how it would be if we could play the PR maps but with a mix up of factions? Muttrah City with like USA vs CANADA or IDF vs UK and so on? Yes i know that sounds odd but it sure would be enjoyable. I can imagine now USMC vs UK forces on Muttrah M4 vs L85A3 and so on. Silent Eagle a INS version with USMC vs Militia.
Bjar with GERMAN vs USMC or US Army or IDF we can go on and on.

Just thinking outside the box..


Wonder if that is even possible to be implemented?

It is possible but it's quite a bit of work. And It would increase the game size quite considerably again. I rather see new maps :D Also to remember that PR tries to have some logic and reason behind it's map. USA vs CANADA on muttrah for example makes no sense at all :D

The underlying issue with replacing one faction for another is that the voice cannot be interchanged, meaning if you were to put, say, the French on Muttrah replacing USMC, they would talk in (American) English, which is why Kokan, Kashan, Asad and maybe one more can field different armies. The other solution is, demonstrated by Barracuda, to include multiple versions of the same map to give it variation. Maybe in PR2 with a proper voting function this would be a possibility - until then don't wait for it to happen.

PRTA does/did this w/ it's War of the Faction event(s).

First one was iirc, GB vs Germany. I thought GB won... not sure though.

Second one (I participated in), MEC vs Canadians. Canadians clearly won, since their jets were baserapping our jets in our main.

I would say IDF vs Canadians... IDF's Tar21 is kick *** in CQB.

Id like to see this done. As for the voices, just turn them off, we use mumble anyway. Having different factions on the maps would be worth loosing commo rose voices for it.

A war that involves China and Russia fighting desperately against each other to gain power over the oil fields.
The map originally featured the MECvsRUS but for balance it was replaced with PLA. Anyway I rest my point. In my opinion it's not worth the increased file size. And the team is to busy with fixing bugs and introducing new content/maps to be busy with this kind of stuff. That said this kind of work is something that the community easily could do itself. So nobody is stopping you guys from introducing some mappack :)

Still not make sense, since obviously China and Russian should combine forces and go to middle east or to Europe, and why remove MEC for balance since mec got some good weapons to beside the T72? will be like the Merkava vs T72 with difference at the ATGM this should b fixed if give the T-72BM to mec to get more fire rate.
