Mod idea, Russia vs America (cold war spin off)

[hanky]

I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a mod based on the theory if Russia and America went to war immediately after WW2. Basically if Gen. Patton got his way. The idea would be Russian and America would be fighting over who got what and what was owed to who, basically what happened but with conflict.

I don't have any moding experience, taking some programming classes right now. But I was hoping (if ok with Rising storm) if I could take there player models and create a few custom maps of Berlin and other area's of Germany.

Weapons would be what ever was created post 1945, maybe to 1950.

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this would be freaking awesome...

Don't think you could use the skins of RS because of the different theatres of war, but the gun models why not unless they don't want you to use them. Then you would probably have to model the ak-47 and make some maps.

Don't worry you are not the only one who wants this. This scenario has been discussed.

You mean the American uniforms? Thought that uniform was standard in both theaters (unless its jungle camo, which it isn't in the screen's)

Yeah figured SKS, Ak47, M2 Carbine.

Well maybe if enough people in the community like this idea we can try an open mod. Basically every one gives a lending hand and has access to it. Not sure if that idea has been done before either.

It would not be Russia, but USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)

Anyway, that could be a great mod, and almost all the soviet/american weapons would be already done
Except heavy tanks ! :IS2:

well the T55 came out in 1950 but not sure what the American counter Part would be. The M60 tank didn't come out till the 60's...

Also wouldn't it be cool if the German civilians were some out part of the teams. Like a resistance group for each side.

So would be East Germany vs West Germany citizens, basically just allowing German weapons to be in the game.

The M48 Patton could be the counter part to the T55..

Anyway, it will be hard to find balanced weapons, soviet tanks were often better than the american tanks.

I've always wanted a cold war mod in the 50's or 60's. I think making it in the 1960's would allow a broader range of equipment. I would also love to see the British with their L1A1's. If you did it in the early 1950's the US might be outgunned with their M1 Garand vs AK-47 and the SKS. If you made it in the late 1950's you use the M14 then.

Well the great thing about a "what if" mod is you can make the rules. So we could have it go to 1960, and all the weapons used between those two being allowed to each each. What I love about RO1 is the fact you have SO much a variety of weapons to choose from, even close counter parts of the weapons. What I would want in the mod is to allow all the weapons between 1945 and 1960 to be available on all maps, and allow the server to choose what weapons ( or time frame the battle took place )

I didn't want to go to far into the future latest is 1960 because I don't want the uniforms to change much per side. Well for first release it would only be what we have between the 2 games RO2 and Rising storm and add from there. I original idea was something I may actually be able to do. Was have Americans vs USSR ( as somebody stated thank you) and have Germans for either side. Maybe even ( and want people options on this ) having the Germans being a 3rd team. A resistance group shall you fighting off both armies. And an example of this would be on a 64 player server allowing 25 USA 25 USSR and 14 German Resistance. Germans have lighter goals than capping objective but more sabotage style objectives like blowing up ammo depots. Or 21 per team if that idea is horrible...or just usa vs ussr if that idea is horrible to

Maybe some Operation Unthinkable mod? With most a lot of German weapons in the game and the American weapons in Rising Storm you don't have to start from scratch.

I approve this idea.

 

[hanky]

I approve this idea.

Well thank you. I posted this because I actually want to start a project doing this. Not sure what I'm capable off, have little to no experience but it sounds like something if I put my head to can figure out. (mixing rising storm and Ro2 that is )

I like the idea planned assault had ( a HL2 mod ) they released files to the public to work with the files for the mod.

So see how busy I get with school when rising storm is released, but I plan trying to mix these. Can't see the Rising storm mod having an issue with me using them, I would ask for permission of course.

This mod would require the swift advance of the Tank Armies across Western Europe implementing the tactics of Deep Battle. There would be no "battles", only Soviet Manoeuvres.
