have an idea for a mod, need to know if its bad

[DONT_SHOOT]

The idea is army men.
The way it would play out is essentially this, Green vs. Tan. Both sides would have the same load outs of weapons and ratios. The maps could be any scenario, but built from everyday items. Items a child would have used to make a battlefield. The map locations could be in a kitchen, or sandbox, or front lawn, etc... The maps could be depicting famous battles or anything really.
I think a proof of concept would be easy enough to make by just re-skinning existing models in all green and all tan. Also a few maps would need to be made to test gameplay. Outside of this the overall mechanics for ro would remain intact. Obviously alot more work would go into a finished product like re-skinning weapons and vehicles to all green and tan.

So thats it guys. Is this idea craptastic or plausible?

Well it;s plausable, but nah- not for me. Army men was what it was- a fun idea but it's gone now.
But to reskin the models as if they were plastic soldiers woud be reletivly easy i guess so if you want to see how it would look go for it. Obviously you can do what your heart desires, but i'd hate to see the kid's bedroom maps appear.
When we see Ro-RatsKitchen etc. on the server lists then it really will be over.

Er ... what?

There was a game of old called, creatively, Army Men. Guys ran around with their feet stuck together. Flamethrower did some horrible stuff, if the pictures on the box were any judgment.

A related Stephen King story was turned into a section of a TV movie thing. Starred William Hurt. Good times.
