i had an awsome dream a while back :) it was about a paciffic mod for CoH and there were japs and marines swarming around tiny little islands. i think it would be an awsome mod for CoH but it would probebly need much more work then to make a EF mod cuse you would have to make new trees and bungalows and stuff. beacuse i cant mod i will not be able to do a mod like this but meybe some of you who can can give my idea som intress, i think it would make an awsome mod :)
only problwm though is that it might be weird online with germans and japs fighting side by side against britts and russians in the middle of europe... but who cares XD
-
I think that that would be a terrible mod for COH, I mean close quarters combat in a jungle environment, fun? I don't think so not for a RTS anyway.
Now tank warfare if open fields, fuck yeah! Bring on the Eastern front!
-
Hmmmm
Luke the idea, and there were large battles on open plains, but close assaults are reaallly difficult to mod apparently
-
The only problem that I would see is that... Japanese tanks sucked. They were so crazy they ran at us on suicide runs. All their upgrades would have something to do with how they can stab you in your face... I don't know how you'd fit it into the CoH universe that's all...
-
well how about an uppgrade for their standard recon veicle witch makes them into goliats :) wtf is wrong with close cuarters? i cant see your point! the japanese scrappy tanks are awsome just make them cheap and no harm is done if one goes in the air.
-
Japan had good tanks, but not many of them. You should try the game Men of war, it has Japan as a faction. Im in the beta, and Japan is just as other factions. Cause this is a game, you dont need to worry about factories and production and money etc. Witch is why in Japan under ww2, a sherman was like a Tiger I xD.
-
i looked up men of war, it looks good i saw it was a follow up on the game "Soldiers: Heroes of ww2" witch is a werry good game. will it work for Vista?
-
Im sure it will.
-
Are the games RTSs?
-
Yeh Men of war is RTS.
Trailer----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzISDtcZ72k
-
Is it out yet?
-
No not yet, I think itll come out in March.
-
Hmm I'm going to look into it most def.
-
Kinda off topic but nvm....
I like the idea of us marines vs Japanese: landing boats would be cool!
Other games to look forward to: battlefield 3 for pc?
Endwar
Empire total war
-
Hmm So what. How would they make that faction? Like keep the US Army with an American flag? Or include the US Marines and the US Army together?
-
No it's be a different faction with landing craft, amphib shermans etc
Heck there's a battleship model which they could use...
-
Yeah. It could be like the HQ maybe? And you could send amphibious boats that set up a make more HQ buildings onto land. Eh?
-
Maybe u get reinforcements from it, but how'd it work in conventional maps???
-
Hmmm You got a point... Maybe it could only be used on levels that only have water? Even though that would suck. On those levels you could just give them a normal HQ maybe?
-
Make it a campaign feature
In normal maps they get landing craft hq like Brits
-
well i have an idea about the regular infantery, the marines and japs would basicly have the same, the standard unit is a squad of five with m1garand and thompson for us and arisaka and type100 for japs and then there is a support squad of 3 with for us have bar and japs type 99 (or meyby its 97 but it's the one looking like a brengun) an us shuld have "off shore" suport like shipcannons and airraids with crossfires and sfutt.
-
Hmmm I'm liking the sound of it. I wonder if the EF Team will look into a Pacific Front MOD.
-
I have given the idea of that it was allot close combat in the paciffic so here is my idea to simulate a "BANZAI!!!" attack: you get your japanese infantry stelthy with the "ambush" abillety and then they are pretty hard to see (basicly this has to be a super stealthy ambush abillety cuse we want teh americans to get close, the squad is inmobile while in ambush) so then a american squad comes by and basicly u press a button that say "bansai" and the selected squad throws a ganade, get zeal abillety, fire crazingly with their guns in a hertic frenzy and the enemy gets instant supreshion (a transfer from the churchil tank shock abillety), and all this after being in ambush so they get attack bonusses and the americans are basicly pretty fucked. ;D :D i'm so proud! i realy like my ideas!... response please.. btw a way for the americans to defend themselfs is by using thompsons and send a recon squad ahed of the main force to lure out the fannatics.
-
Forums have looked really dead lately... And really good idea.
-
ya it's been cinda depressing, i hope my post will sheer teh people up and start posting again, Ramamber folks! you can start a new topic and post about new stuff!! dotn w8 around for some one else to do it!
-
Hear hear!
Like ur ideas almighty, but some kind of combat modelling would add a lot
-
Hmmm I'm liking the sound of it. I wonder if the EF Team will look into a Pacific Front MOD.
Probably not, since the majority of the environment in the Pacific theatre was Tropical and all we have is Temperate stuff. We could make an Iwo Jima map since it was cratered like the moon, but thats about it :P
We'll probably have to just wait for an expansion... if Relic would like to pull their fingers from their DoWII obsessed arses.
-
If they made an African mod would it be possible?
(Palm trees etc?)
-
Yeah, if Relic made a North Africa expansion it would be possible to do... but for some reason I don't think they will. You never know, with the next OE it may be possible to modify tree models, give them physical properties and such so they break apart realistically when your shelling the crap out of some Japs hiding in the long grass.
-
well if some one made a ww2 mod for DoW or DoWII i dont think it would be long before a pacific mod for that one cuse thare are realy swampy terrian and stuff exelent for the pacific.
-
hmmm
Coh is based on same engine of Dow...
Some swamp stuff in Dow might be compatible already I think...
-
every thing comes to gether! ...exelent... :D
-
Not necessarily: I did say might!
-
ya i just wanted it to feel more special.
-
i started working on the details for this a while ago, we already have a site set up aswell, just look for the pacific theatre mod for COH: opposing fronts on moddb. oh and btw, the POPLAR #1 and #2 trees look kinda tropical in the worldbuilder.
