callmehobbes Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Here are a few of my ideas for mods I'd love to see. (I've tried and failed at modding so have decided to leave it to the experts.) 1) Danish skins/weapons for arctic, temperate and desert ops (just cos I like 'em!) 2) Some sort of assault on an oil rig with diver skins & NVG's. 3) A campaign designed for regular troops as opposed to SF. Full fire support roles with mortars and heavy machine guns, AI characters in supporting roles. I found (but never used, it looked a bit too complicated) a mod that increased the platoon size from 6 to 12. That would be ideal. This would tie in very nicely with the Falklands Mod someone mention attempting. 4) A French Army mod (just to make a change from US/UK mods). Possibly a campaign based in Africa with missions ranginging from peace keeping to assaulting rebel factions, securing embassies, rescuing ex.pats etc. I loved the French kit produced by Bajabravo in CO2. Oh, and no more berets- nobody actually wears them in combat situations do they? Does anyone else have their dream mods?

KRP 56 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Another campaign for FROSTBITE. The best total conversion mod ever made yet no extra campaigns were ever done. Please Migryder can't you work your magic on these maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmehobbes Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 I thought paras and marines wore berets on patrols where a more softly softly approach (eg. Basra) was required or when advertising the fact the boys were in town (eg. Kosovo and Sierra Leone). When in full combat I think that regulations state that helmets must be worn (though obviously some will disregard this). In Falklands conflict for example berets were worn when yomping/tabbing across the island and when marching into Port Stanley but when the fighting started it was helmets on. As for the SAS I think it's unheard of. Further missions for OP. Frostbite? Now you're talking! I thought it was far better than Island Thunder as an expansion pack. Ah...if only...

Burke Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 A mod that takes the insane zoom off the weapons. Maybe 1.2x for ALL the weapons, scoped rifles not included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamon Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 i would like to see a Spanish Foreign Legion mod, an ancient world mod like involving the Vikings or Romans (I actually had some plans along this), and a mod based on the show La Femme Nikita (some work done here too).

callmehobbes Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 A few more ideas that have been floating around: French troops retaking a small former colonial island that has been siezed by mercenaries (like Coromos )islands. Assault on an island air defence/radar installation- New map, diver skins, access points above and below the waterline (if possible, similar to the cave access to the villa in the big Traffic Colombie map), perhaps followed by a daytime defence of the island against reinforcements until pick-up. Anyone else up for this? I'm new to the forum and have been reading though some backdated posts. Is it true that Argyll is no longer modding? It was like a real kick in the 'nads when I read that, and then I see that Sixpence is hanging up his guns also. They are both heroes to me and it will be a shame to see them go. Again it may be a little late in the day but I would like to thank both of them for all the work they've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmehobbes Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 Looking good. The book I have (Illustrated guide to the worlds top naval special warfare units by Concord) shows the Danes with a variety of HK weapons including the HK53 and says that the S&W.38 detectives special is the pistol of choice for ship boarding parties. Oh and the biggest bergans (rucksacks) you can imagine strapped to their backs. I know this is SF only but hopefully it may be useful. Cheers Callmehobbes ps- Getting quite excited, a dream mod I may be able to tick of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
