A new mode/faction

Keep in mind that I'm aware of all the work that has priority over an idea like this, as introducing a new faction/maps/weapon set/vehicles is a lot of work. But I'd just like to get it out there to have some feedback about it. So this is more like a long term suggestion.

I don't know if any of you have read the Tom Clancy novel Clear and Present Danger but I basically want to introduce the drug cartel faction similar to the one in the book. They would have mostly jungle maps, possibly with small urban areas or villages. They would have to defend small airfields and processing plants, with spawn points in the jungle that would be small camps throughout the maps. The good guys would be the U.S Army. The focus would be infantry combat, with transport vehicles like hummers, and transport helos. The cartel mercenaries would have technicals. They would need to defend the airstrips and processing plants, similar to the arms cache hunting in Basrah. When the airfield is cratered, or when a certain part of the processing plant is destroyed the cartel mercs have to defend another one. Thats pretty much all I can think of, suggestions are welcome. Or you can just tell me if you think its a stupid idea :p

I've been interested in a South American drug lord faction for a long time. Good idea.

Problems are that you need new models, voices (and no, everything can't just be "eh gringo :p ) and so on.

i like this idea, keeping with the Current Insurgency mode, only with "Drug Caches" Could work really well.

We're yet to see tropical locations On PR apart from hills of hamyong ( which captured the Tropical, warm atmosphere well ) and i think something along these lines would be a good addition :D

can see the Drug Transporting dingies going island to island, and the USMC Patrol Boats in Tow in my head already ;)

The Brazil mod is working on a South American FRAC/druglord faction.

Could be an interesting new gamemode, too. "Get 5 trucks full of dope to the airfield for shipping before they are destroyed or the airfield is capped by the enemy."

Thats a cool idea, it would be like the xtract mode with 5 of the VIP truck's with skins to look like shipping trucks or something.

I wanna fire tracers into boxes of reefer and light em on fire, causing the area to make everyone high. That would be amusing lol.
