    Martial Law

    Calling all mod makers.

    I have an idea for a battlefield 2142, and 2 mod which shall be called Martial law. For 2142, the idea is an early 22nd century Britain which undergoes a period of martial law whereby massive urban and rural battles occur between the EU Stability army, which has recently replaced all soverign nation militaries symbolicly in the EU. The opposing force will be a citizen militia calling themselves the Kingdom Preservation Militia or KPM. I'm sketchy on the KPM name though. The catalyst will be the beginning iceage causing massive looting for food and supplies as the temperatures rapidly drop.

    My stylistic goal is to have the EU army reskinned to a slightly more retro (relative to the year 2142) look as far as clothing/uniform for each team.. the EU having still more advanced small arms weaponry, but the KPM having improvised weapons as a counterbalance. This will require some creative thinking. I'm not native to the UK, so I don't have any ideas as far as settings go. I would like to have 6-10 maps for the game initially with another 3 each release.

    There should be water borne vehicles also.

    Now, the idea for battlefield 2 is similar, only its going to occur in the present time, the latter half of 2008, just before the election.

    A massive terrorist attack occurs somewhere on US soil, and consequently the Bush administration by executive order becomes the sole control of the government, suspending congress and ordering the judiciary department to comply with mandates or face charges of treason to be enforced by the newly created homeland defense force, charged with enforcing law at the local level, effectively replacing and becoming a nationwide police force given more powers. The constitution is abridged, and several states initially led by a parstnership between texas, arizona, california and massachusetts secede from the union and declare war, calling themselves the Independent Constitutional States of America, lead by the majority of the civilian active reservists and several entirely civilian militias. Massive causualties are sustained on either side, until several more states join in the coming years. At that point, the newly formed North American Union forces mexico and canada to join the fight, initially both siding with the Federals, but parts of Canada and mexico join the ICS. Eventually the EU and newly formed Pan Asian Alliance join the fight and half the world is in the midst of war.

    This mod is looking at roughly 30 maps covering many states. Rather than having 5 seperate possible forces to fight with, they will be blended together based on alliance and location.

    Finally I would like to state that I have no experience whatsoever with modding battlefield 2 and this will be entirely created by you, for you. You will work for it. Its going to be entirely community based and developed and funded. So if you don't like it, then it won't get made.

    What do you think?

    funded? How much are you paying...lol? If you just reskin the soldiers without changing the regular animations and use the statics from 2142... it could be done relatively quickly... couple months... If you want to create your own statics and new player animations and weapons... then your talking a year or more... not to mention custom terrains and vegetation... gameplay setup... You also need a good group of talented people... that stay motivated... most mods dont see the light of day... Your mod idea sounds cool...

    also... you can have only 2 armies playing each other at the same time with the bf2/2142 engine... good luck... modding is a blast... but it also takes a lot of time and energy...

    Ive gotta go tighten up the graphics on level 3... lol CB

      Funding for a server to test on.

      And yeah, I know I need a bunch of talented people.. thats why I posted this here. Hopefully people who are interested and have experience making mods would like to take up the project, since I don't have any.

        I'd recommend you send Catbox a big fat cheque asap & get him on your team.
        He's one of the most helpful & experienced modders around.

        Good luck with the project dude.:)

          Sound cool ! Too bad I havent learned 3dsmax yet. School just started and will learn it later on. So I might join by the end of this year

          I do know photoshop. So if skinning is fairly easy I'd be happy to try it out or some other thing you can do with photoshop
