Yes of course! And can we have a poll added to this thread please?
Sorry, tried to do that when I started the thread and learned you can only do that "within 30 seconds of posting it."
I'm for anything that's new.
The Western Front has been done to death and the Eastern Front is already covered, as well as the Pacific Front now.... I'd like to see something different for a change.
You can say that again. You can look at wikipedia's list of WWII FPS games, and
virtually all of them deal with the Western front. There are 34 titles, not counting the entries in the RO series. I'm sure there are plenty who want to see US vs Germany combat in the RO gameplay style, but it would just be another notch on this list.
I'm looking forward to the Karelian Front mod, Russians vs Finnish. I agree that a Korean War, and even a Japan vs China mod would be great. I was also thinking, that with RS coming out soon, and we have the player models and some decent terrain, I'm hoping for someone to make a few levels based off the Russian/Japanese skirmishes at Khalkhin Gol.
The problem with Russia vs. Finland is the vast disparity between the resources available to each side. How many players here like to play matches where the difference in technology and manpower is extreme? I'm sure there are players of the uneven matches in the
Project Reality mod, but they will always be an extreme minority in FPS gaming.
China vs. Japan is even worse on the "technological differences" front, to the point some guys were charging the Japanese positions with lit pots of black powder. Granted, the Chinese invented the stuff first, but it was seriously outdated as an explosive by the 20th century.
At least the Korean War doesn't have so much of a technological disparity (the NK and Chinese forces didn't have standard-issue semi-automatic rifles, but they did have all the other Soviet goodness HoS players are familiar with like PPSh-41s and DP-28s), and it hasn't been done before either.
