Hello all,
After taking a long hiatus from the modding world, I've decided to come back and have a go at a couple projects. In specific, I am trying to work on my coding skills in Python and general .con for BF2 etc. With that being said, I want to draft up a couple game modes I want to finish in the next month or 2 for the PMC Faction, which has sadly died and everyone stopped working on.
When I first started working with R-DEV Tonnie and WallyJas on the PMC about 3 years ago..? , we had only one option for the game modes. A VIP Transport. But I have decided to propose a couple different Game Mode concepts, and I would love to hear back from the community on what they think could/could not work.
Coding DEVs If any of this isnt plausible because of the BF2 Game Engine Please let me know. Yall know best I'm just trying to hop back in the field.
These are just General Ideas I thought of that could be simple and fun. Hell I dont even know if this stuff is possible to work. Please let me know what y'all think. I just want to practice my skills and make some cool stuff again.Thanks for the time!
BTW What ever happened to that mk-19?

1. VIP Transport (Also called Protection) This game mode was actually completed but I have no idea where the files are.... :( The Idea of the game mode is the PMC's would protect a Specific Vehicle which would be indicated through coding as the "Important Objective" (Think of a insurgency Cache on Wheels). The VIP car would be driven by a specific Individual and would need to go to specific Checkpoints (Think of them as Flags) and the team would have to assist in keeping the VIP Safe. There can be one or multiple VIP cars per Round. and Gameplay can go as long as needed. The "OPFOR" would have the ability to spot the VIP Car once spotted (Using an Officer Feature or such). There would be several locations for the car to go on a 2km or 4km map. It could be possible for the MiniMap to display a location of the vehicle once the "Checkpoint" Is half way captured. PROS: Keeps the realism of a PMC Unit, provides a teamwork oriented Goal., gives a simplified objective. You must keep the Car alive and convoy with it, or the insurgents will kill it and win CONS: High Risk for failure if members of the servers decide to go off solo. If a jerk took the VIP vehicle into enemy territory, the game is immediately failed if Destroyed. Teamwork is a PRIORITY for the mode to be successful. |

2. Supply-and-Protect Another example in which the Private Sector is used is in par with the United Nations. A scenario that can be formulated would be if the PMC's are "Protecting some food supply depot for civilians" and the PMCs must protect them from insurgents. Pro: very easy to create, basically a reverse Engineering of the current "Insurgency" Game mode. Stick a new model in for the depot of food rather than an insurgency cache. Tada Con: Not a New Game mode, Does not bring very much difference to gameplay |

3. Overthrow This example would be if a Country's Government were to Hire PMC's to "Overthrow some establisment". If they were used to take over a local insurgency establishment, it could be the reverse of PMC vs. an OPFOR. Somewhat of an AAS type mode where Insurgency will be given the Ability to dig into a position while PMC transport to specific Locations to take over positions Pro: it's AAS Con: It's AAS |

4. Recovery This game mode would be considered a "Capture the Flag type Game". A proposition is that the PMCs were tasked to retrieve specific Intel from the OPFOR. There would be no Actual "Flag" But a specific Kit that ONLY "BLUFOR" could be allowed to pick up. If any OPFOR Picked up the kit, it would be an insta death (Should be Possible I think). Once the kit is Picked up. there would be a specific place the player must go to "Deliver the Intel". once the intel is Delivered. The OPFOR loses tickets and Blufor have limited tickets as is. This can go back and Forth Pro: New Gameplay, has potential for a lot of team work, has team driven goals that are simple and effective. Con: Very prone to accidents (we can find ways to fix it), Might have to change kit pickup main Python Files. Would have to devise some sort of plan to Show a live movement of a "kit" on map not a "vehicle" |
