Now that you mention that let me bring you guys up to speed on what our current decision was.
From our news update:
"Welcome back to another update for the Revolution Mod, and we have some serious debating, Sire and Myself decided that the theme for our mod wasnt exactly perfected. We spent a good hour talking about a new setting, possibly changing what our mod is all about, and even reverting back to Battlefield 2, so that more people could play, and heres what our debate game up with.
We thought about the future of warfare, the settings in-which it would be fought, and the ideas it would be fought for. Over the course of human history wars have been fought for numerous Ideas, and causes, and every large industrial nation today has had its fair share of wars they did not truly want to participate in. Here in the United States, the most renowned of these is the Vietnam War, and recently, the Iraq War. However most of the Western world has gotten over their petty differences, and with the many, and varried coalitions of the world it goes to safely say that the threat of a third world war does not seem iminent for a good amount of time.
However, thriving nations, which currently are plunged in a world of genocide and civil war offer the perfect setting for a mod. It goes without question that the major wars fought on this earth for the next fifty, sixty years will be fought in places like North and South Africa, and in blooming industrial powers like China and in some South American countrys as well, currently however, the worst of these conflicts are in Africa.
In many African countries the scene is grim, years of war have brought nothing but poverty to the people of the continent, and radicle revolutionist groups, tribal factions and militias, and corrupt national armies are fighting for many different reasons. Mix these conflicts with the shortage of food, Piracy, and the poverty of some African nations, and the sight is overwhelming grim. There are thousands of stories that come straight from Africa itself, that tell of the horrible attrocities being commited there, and the conflict which seems to never stop, the UN is almost helpless to stop the crime that spreads in these nations. From Civil War, to Revolution, Africa is a war torn continent, and proves the perfect setting for a mod.
What does this mean for the mod? Well it means a new setting, a new date, and a complete change for us. Sire and I agree, this is the mod we truly want to create, as of today we are forging a fictional storyline that will take place some forty years into the near future, around the date 2042 (a date appropately picked to accompany Battlefields apparent love of the number two), which means more modern weapons, militias, large african cities, and small tribal villages, Jungle and Savanah warfare, and a new day for our creativity to take hold.
The mod may possibly be making the jump to Battlefield 2, so that a wider community of players is able to be attracted, nobody can deny that larger numbers of people inside the servers would be a welcome addition. We hope this excites you and look forward to expressing our ideas. Get ready for a new battlefield, in a grim way you've never seen it before.
Sincerely
Archimonday"
So yes, with our turn to Africa, perhaps you might see these in the mod.
