MikeyD Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Unfortunately, BFC's present "to do" list may take them up until retirement age, or until rising oceans indate Farmington, whichever comes first. I consider it a miracle a Russia/Afghanistan title is slated to spring forth like magic. If a Russian game house can work wonders like that, who's to say some yet-to-be-formed Vietnamese game house won't magically whip up a Vietnam war title too? Perhaps the French Indo-China war to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempV Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 My only real concern is that the Russians would be cast as the 'bad guys' in the background story. I like the Russians and I'd really like to do a proper Russian v NATO campaign played as RED. Thanks buddy. We are sort of get used to be "bad" in the games. CoD: Modern warfare, Arma 2, World in Conflict... Even speaking of WW2 Eastern front there are far less games comparing to Western front and most of them depict Red Army as mass hordes taking individually superior Germans only by great numbers. Maybe the cause is western culture feeling about west countries being Elf-like (good) and East countries being Orkish (evil). By the way I like Warhammer Orcs. Dis iz great pleazure to smash 'umanz with our choppas. Sorry about off-topic, can't restrain from comment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrspawn Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'm not sure of the era, I don't have a particular preference, but I would love to play a sim in which REDFOR has a comparable strength to BLUFOR, or at least, poses a major threat, having comparable air support, artillery assets and maneuver forces. I don't think a war in China is really realistic... mainly because it would be impossible to invade and hold (think of Sino-Japanese war all over again, except this time china is modern and unified). A defense of Taiwan might be cool/plausible. I also think its pretty ahistorical for World War III to happen over Georgia, unless there is another George Bush for a US president. The Georgia action was a classical example of a localized war, and as we might recall, was initiated by the Georgians themselves - the russians were not the aggressors. A North/South Korea war is also remotely plausible - the player can play the expeditionary force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSX Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 My 0,02€. I think that the most feasible theatre for a temperate modern CM would be Korea. Yes but unless you include the Chinese, what does Korea have that Syria doesnt? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuirassier Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I think Russia vs Ukraine/NATO, China vs Russia or China vs India would be cool. C'mon, what would be cooler than modern Russian forces fighting in the Ukraine against T-80's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD Smack Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Nicdain I was thinking the same thing! Why not it placed in Korea and include both China and Russia? Russia could be either on the Blue side or Red. Other countries that could be included (but not limited to): UK, Australia, Canada, and Japan.

Alan8325 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 +1 for near future. I like to play around with virtual versions of the state-of-the-art weapons and equipment that we see today, especially as computing power improvements allow for more accurate simulations. For those who are worried about a near-future conflict being a BLUE turkey-shoot, do you really think that in this age of information, we will see technological knowhow and advanced training techniques become even more unique to the U.S.? Remember that the Internet has only been around for a couple of decades or less. I would be highly surprised if the playing field didn't get more even fairly quickly. I don't really mind who the two (or more?) sides are in CMSF2 as long as they are close in capability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Just curious: are there any Asians (i.e. Asians living in Asia, not in the West) playing this game right now? If so, what's your perspective on being the potential new "Other" for us smelly pink barbarians? I've long felt that Asia could be a MASSIVE new market for BFC games (although I guess there is the pirating problem). Didn't Starcraft displace badminton at one point as the Korean national pastime? :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveDash Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I played the game "People's General", which was like Allied General (turn based WW2 wargame), but between China/North Korea vs US/Russia/NATO around the year 2015 I think. China invades Russia, North Korea invades South Korea, starts off a new world war. It was pretty fun, would be cool to have something similar in CMSF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 maybe we should consider changing gaming culture first, so we can dedicate entire towns just to playing on mission in one game professionally The real casualties will come when people do not eat or poop for days on end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisND Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Easy fix for that: Backstory - two words. President Cheney. So you mean when Cheney finally reveals himself to be an evil space lobster and summons the space lobster armies from his homeworld in Alpha Centauri, the US and the Russians can fight against them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabal23 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I hope we'll one day see the Space Lobsters of Doom realize. THAT could be set somewhere in 2020-2030, with plenty of liberties in regards to Earthern military technology, like point defence systems against artillery or active camoflage. The opposition would have even more advanced weaponry, such as sharks with lasers, giant robots, genderbending zombies (ala Plan 9 From Outer Space) and what not, with the goal of turning mankind into a special cuisine in Betelgeuze Fried Chicken. Can we get a new reference. Space Lobster jokes are getting old. Kinda like the midget hooker who stands at the end of my street every day. Funny the first few times I saw her, now not so much. Also last time I checked active camouflage is a reality and is right around the corner so that doesn't really work with your joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietrich Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 So you mean when Cheney finally reveals himself to be an evil space lobster and summons the space lobster armies from his homeworld in Alpha Centauri, the US and the Russians can fight against them? If He Who Is Know As Former Vice President Dick Cheney were actually from Alpha Centauri, wouldn't he actually be a "small furry creature"? (Two thumbs up to whoever gets the reference. ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Tiger Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 'When the men were REAL men and the women were REAL women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri' The man was a comic genius. He is sorely missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
