One question about this "Currently the factions consist of the US, Russia, China, North Korea, EU, and Iran.", what other counties do you plan on adding other then some of the obvious ones you've already mentioned?

why? aren't these enough for you to play with?

Right now, its Iran and U.S. (or EU). The rest are for much later releases. By then, lots changes might occur. Future is uncertainty!

It's just that US, China, EU, and Russia are to generic and have been in so many other mods and games imho.

Well we have Iran. and I don't consider EU generic. I can't recall a mod that fully utilize EU as a faction. And for future, I am suggesting to my team to include North Korea and South Africa. South Africa has lots of unique equipments.

"Fully utilize" he said not WIP's (ok except for C&C Europe which is dead anyway)

[Sgt. Rho]

U forgot TPoHW @Zeke

[Axel of Sweden]

Will this mod feature construction unit,s?

since Construction yard just dont fit in a modern mod

Give infantry alot off abilites, this will make them important and less useless in the later games

[Indigo]

So sad the aircrafts will probably be limited with only called-in airstrikes

[Vengence]

Oh GOD >: !!! Not another modern combat mod! There is already one in the making, maybe even 2! *sigh* Do what you want but please make this actually better than the other (which has a god awful storyline).

IMO, you should completely drop the whole real world thing and make a fictional world with fictional countries that don't have to obey today's standards but still have our tech. Really now, the only thing making me hate these modern combat mods is that they all pretty much the exact same premise nowadays and really a lack of creativity. "USA in Iraq, old enemy countries attack ect ect ect or whatever." Please for the love of god stop this Iran, North Korea, EU stuff. You can still keep the modern feeling even if you put a fictional twist to it . Having a mostly fictional world will open up greater possibilities and creative freedoms without getting the "Iran doesn't have THAT!!!". You have all these options and yet you want to create a real world mod when there are already other real world mods being made? Originality is a great factor in games and mods. If several teams constantly pump out the same exact mod with little differences then it would get repetitive. In my own mod I go by the motto "Originality is King, Creativity is Master". I try to avoid any excessively used concepts or designs and keep things original. I even developed a completely unique storyline that is not from any movie or game, and I have high hopes for it.

If you are still adamant about keeping this modern warfare theme, the least you could do is make a fictional world. After all, no Iranians or such would get pissed off by your mod if it was a fictional country in a fictional world in a fictional universe. Ignore me if you want but I still stand firm in that CNC3 should not be spammed by TCs that are only a bit different... even if it has different features.

hmmm i saw your apache model... it looks good but not like a real apache...
a real apache is more edgy...

@Vengence: Get a grip man....it doesnt have to everything fictional as everywhere else.....Jesus if a man wants to make a modern combat mod with a realistic storyline then he will do it...

Oh? Then why is there ANOTHER mod like that? Go ahead and make it but do we really need more MC's in the air? Generals had like 3-4, maybe even more MC mods in the works at the same time and I pretty much got bored seeing the same units over and over again.

[TehKiller]

dude STFU....u can say that for all the ZH mods that adds the same faction (like Russia,EU) and get asswiped....this isnt your mod and ure not even part of it as far as i can see so shut up

[Sgt. Rho]

Vegence is right. 1000´s of MC mods, with everytimes the same units and never something new. Boring? Yeah. Orginal? Nope. Funny? Nope³.

[TehKiller]

but still it isnt his mod.....if he wanst a totaly SF stuff then he can make himself his own mod instead of shitting on someone elses mod

[Sgt. Rho]

I know . And he IS making his own mod

Anyways, good luck with this, rezz

[Vengence]

I'm just disappointed, not trying to kill a mod. I just feel that there are too many MCs, so many that it has driven me nuts about this subject. And well... also that sick incident at sleipnirs. And the fact that MC mods pretty much contradict the "Custom Content Equals Innovation" quote I am very aware of. Custom? Yes. Innovative? Nope. Sure, make that mod but to me it will be another tack mark of thousands on the wall of MC.

Mods are much like food in a certain way. Great mods are a great feast to behold. However I consider MC mods to be roughly semi above average in that they are not expansions (some exps are good though). Imagine MC as mac and cheese (MC LOL!!!). It can be good for a while but if you eat only mac and cheese for a while you eventually get bored of it and pretty much refuse to have anything to do with it. That is how I feel. There were so many MC mods that I just got plain bored of the subject matter.

I think it's mainly cause they use the same damn countries(USA, Russia, China, EU, etc etc.).

[Vengence]

You know, now that I think about it, that is more or less true... Japan has an interesting air defense force I think. Their variation on the F-16 (I think it is F-2) is pretty interesting. Hmm, Canada? Australia? Just to fictionalize a bit: South Korean elite hackers of doom.

[CoLT]

Or Singapore?

I mean, if you want American-ish tech but not use USA... Singapore is an excellent choice.

You've got F-15s, F-16s, then Apaches... awesome navy with stealth frigates...

And then there's South Africa and China... Both Unique sides too...

[Judgement]

I read through this and... I agree with Vengeance on just about everything. This will be like another one of those MC Mods. Even from the beginning it sounds like it. Had you excluded some of the generic factions(mainly US, China, Russia, EU) than it may be a bit more unique.
However the best way to really do this is just create a new storyline. Not every MC mod has to follow just the US going in to free some country and than somehow every other country getting involved.
There is nowhere that says you cant make up your own factions, or organisations. Or at least use different thigns other than modern over used equipment like the Apache and Abrams.
