Legionnaire 7

Ooooooo!!!! So pretty!! Lol

I beg to differ...the binocular type goggles are sweet! Plus, the AN/PVS-7 are relatively new, and since OFP happens in 1985, I think that these are appropriate as they were prolly still in use around that time. Later! -Legionnaire

I wanna play! I wanna play!

Just thought of somethin else...it would be cool if the timeframe was somewhere 1983-1995. And...has anyone played Jagged Alliance 2? might provide some ideas. --Legionnaire iSpec - Guide to SOF of Former Yugoslavia http://iSpec.specwarnet.net/

Nicaragua should be far away in history by now to be a good place for some stuff. Invasion of Grenada for a full blown millitary campaign. It's an island by default so it shouldnt be hard to do realistically .<span id='postcolor'> I agree. I say we start off with let's say a 5 mission campaign to introduce us into the world of editing (for those who haven't already started), and to let us get comfortable working as a team. Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, they can all provide PLENTY of inspiration. I was actually kicking around the idea of doing a Grenada campaign since, it is as you say, an island, perfectly suited for OFP. The story should be also designed along OFP lines to allow for a 3-point perspective so to say: Government, rebel & outside forces (in this case the US is a preferred choice). We should pick one main character from each side for the player to follow since too many would just detract from the whole experience. So, In conclusion, I say that the first campaign/release consists roughly of: - 5 missions - 2 new units - couple retextures - new Island (possibly a sister island to the main one..) I can handle modeling, Blues has scripting, Miles missions...and...the one I COMPLETELY agree with Miles on is that a DAMN good texture artist is needed. Well anyway, thats enough outta me for now... -Legionnaire

I agree with Bluesman that it should be a fictional country. The conflict in Colombia has been going on for so long and is so complex, that you're bound to offend somebody by using a real-life location. I think a MOD with this kinda storyline would have great potential. Like you mentioned above, you can have a branching storyline with mercenaries, DEA & CIA agents, special forces, rebels, etc. etc. Actually there's some very interesting stuff that could be done by basing missions off of real-world CIA's Seaspray unit ones during the 80s, and that article I mentioned. It could even become a several-part campaign/conversion each telling a different view (much like the OFP franchise) As always, if any of you need any pictures or mission ideas, I've got quite an archive & have read a lot about this stuff, so I could be useful in helping out. Cheers to all, --Legionnaire

Sounds interesting...check out this article, its about the North Valley Cartel, but I bet there could be some sweet missions you could derive from it. Its quite interesting actually... http://www.business2.com/articles/mag/0,1640,41206|4,00.html And....I could possibly be on board with this, sounds like an interesting plan. Could you write up a detailed design document? Cheers --Legionnaire

Come to think of it....I have a SKS too

Hey, if you want, I'll try to dig up my old PPsh-41 model I did for a HL mod, but that never ended up gettin used.... --Legionnaire

Hey, Could anyone send me the Russian or resistance truck either in Max or 3DS format. I need it for scaling purposes for another Russian vehicle I'm modeling and i don't have the knowledge or time at this point to export my own (I wanna get this baby done ASAP) Thank you in advance... --Legionnaire 7
