Hello everyone !
I thought that it was about time that I presented the mod I'm working on here on the BI forums.
The mod was started ... ah some time ago (can't remember the exact time, but the idea was born about two years ago...)
by two friends and myself. In the meantime some more people have joined, but we're still low on staff.
The story :
I was getting bored by the always repeating scenarios like US beeing the good guys and russians beeing the bad guys, so I thought about it and came up with a story.
What if the USA were taken over by a really bad guy (not necesarely mad but not far away ) ?
And thats the prologue to ftmod.
This man looses the upcoming elections in 2008 because his policy was alltogether a bit too extreme, but got himself many little friends in the military. So he plans to take over the White House by force. After he succeeds he progressivly occupies the surrounding countries (Mexico, Cuba...) first for false reasons, pretending to hunt down non existent terrorist cells, but he slowly reveals his true motivation : taking over the world (or at least the interesting parts, aka those with natural resources).
He laughs at the protestations from the UNO and doesnt care about european diplomats accusations. When he starts threatening northern Africa, the EU decides to take direct action and send some troops of their freshly unified army, the UEA (or United European Army) into Morocco. But it was too late : the american invasion had allready begun, and the attack on the european continent was allready planned !
So much about the story for now...
There will also be an intervention from the Chineese army, on the european side.
I've got a friend working on US forces, another one makes addons for the Chineese side. I'm making the European addons.
Another guy works on some Russian units and weapons (an idea he came up with since part of the campaign takes place in Russia...)
All in all those units and weapons will be a little futuristic but not too much... and most importantly they are all our own designs, inspired by real things from time to time, but mostly invented
and following, a few pics of the island that will come with the demo... which, I'm sorry to say, is still some time off untill we sort out the infantry units and their weapons, and a couple of buildings and objects...
Also pics of one of my fighter aircrafts for the european air force, the former XMA60 renamed EF-6000. It's still beeing worked on but making good progress... an ER version (external tanks, two-seater) is also beeing worked on.
These of course aren't the only addons actually ingame, I just haven't got any good pics of them yet, and I'm waiting for the UEA infantry addon to post pics of them with my weapons...
Hope you liked the pics !
