New allied factions?

[Farks]

So, I just read that the devs will take over the canadian forces project and integrate the canadians forces into PR as a official faction. Good, that means three allied factions and four axis factions. Does it also mean that the devs are trying to balance out the number of factions on each side? If that's the case, the fourth allied faction should be european, so we have two north american factions and two european factions.

The new european faction should be Germany or France, as they are the bigger european countries with big militarys. I guess Germany would be easiest to make, since we already have them as a community faction, and the devs can always take stuff from OPK in case they don't feel like making a new faction from scratch all over again...

I guess it all depends on how good/far along each community mod is

Well, I think quality is more important than how quickly it can be finished. It should also be taken into account that a new faction should add more to the mod than just being a new faction. By that I mean new, unique weapons, vehicles and so on. A faction that uses almost the same equipment as another faction is a waste of time imo.

The Dev's can't just take other peoples work, everything that came from other mods has been traded or granted after request. Also, keep in mind, the Devs only took over the Canadians because so many of them worked on it and it needs just a little more finishing up, the other factions are being made by individual teams, not neccessarily the PR Devs.

I know, but I'm mainly thinking/suggesting this in order to give the allied side the same diversity in factions as the axis side.

Personally i dont care about the '2 american 2 european' thing, i mean all i care about is balancing the faction Coal vs. Opp wise and getting the communities hard work into PR.

I would also think at some point the community mods would be handed over to the Dev anyway so they can evaluate and sort stuff out just before they put it into the mod.

I think after the Canadians are doe more work needs to be put into axis factions and making new maps like MEC Vs Insurgents. Oh and I cant Fing wait to fly the CH-146 Griffin

[Freelance_Commando]

Any new faction is good for PR, as long as they have enough character to distinguish themsleves from the others. I'II be happy to play Canadians as long as they aren't Americans with slightly different accents.

Talking about factions, the MEC and PLA aren't really allied like the USA and UK are, infact they'd rather stab each other in the back to get what they want, it's just in tournaments that they are put on 'teams' in which to fight.

Anyway, if I could make a faction it would be the Australian Forces, but that's only becuase I AM from Australia and I want to play as them. So cammon Australian Defence Forces for PR!

There are currently two Opfor community factions in proposal form, the Demcratic Republic of Congo, which looks to be very fun, and the MEC Reserve troops which are like the MEC but don't have quite the weaponry and are doing the 'occupational' side of things, which might get some new maps, but probably will go and get some older maps like EJOD and Jabal, maybe Kufrah.

well the israeli defence force community mod will come with a new opfor faction called the hamas so that evens it out with another opfor faction and allied

Uh, Hamas in PR? Isnt that a bit "edgy"? Most of the opposing forces are rather fictional, yet the Hamas really is an extremists group.
Hearing that I kinda feel like putting a schoolmap into CS (exaggerated).

I hope german forces will make it into one of the next releases - wanna hear my MG3 roaring over the battlefield

Though, the Hamas are very similair to the insurgent and militia faction

[Ecko]

There is 4 nato if you think about. American Army, American MARINES, Canadian, Britain.

Plus, Poland is probably the next furthest along community mod.

Wrong. THe US Army and US Marine Corps. count as one in that case. The only difference it that the US.M.C. will be used on amphibious attack maps and the US.A. will be used on land attack maps.

Eh? The only entirely fictional one is the MEC. The PLA is most definitely a real army - as definite as they don't do any liberating of people, the Militia are based on real blackmarket arms dealing groups, and the Insurgents are based on real Islamic insurgent groups - some of which I seem to remember are related specifically to certain Insurgent groups.

Pity none of the community mods are gonna make .8, I put alot of money on there being a patch of .8 with loads of extra content though.

Also I think the whole "DEVs taking over community mods" thing is merely gonna be a quality control and balance thing, not them dictating in full how they should be run and what they should contain.

why u want german or freanch forces ?
they can make NATO as 4th faction

Ehh, NATO is an allience, not a stand-alone force.

[Skodz]

Well if there happen to be a fourth allied faction after the Canadian, it will certainly not be Mexico loll so yeah, it will be European and most likely German becuz there is no France community mod unfortunately...

Don't forget Russia as Opfor (well it isen't really Opfor, more on its own side)
