world war 2 idea? haha

okay okay okay. I have nothing to sell here. Just curious whether a world war 2 mod would possible? Now by saying world war 2 mod, I don't mean a complete change or anything, but just the fighting would change. The world map would be the same (roaming war parties, but maybe call them platoons or something) no horses or anything. Yeah maybe it might sound stupid.

But I think if it simulated world war 2 combat, with the fun little mount and blade commands, it could be very fun.

Here are some things to discuss:

1). How to make a soldier go prone/crouch? I'm guessing they would go prone whenever holding position and maybe no cover near by?
2). Guns? Well, I'm not sure, but maybe?
3). Finding cover? Well arrows cannot go through trees, or the ground. So it might be possible. Now how to make your men automatically go behind trees and put the tree between them and the enemy might be a problem.
4). Firing from cover? That also will be very hard. How do you make your men maybe lean or step out from cover and fire a few shots and hide again? Once again, it will be very hard.
5). Gernades? Have your soldiers throw gernades every so often?
6). Tanks?
7). Mortars? Could be very fun, is it possible? You tell me.
:cool:. Machine guns? Well might be tricky because you have to set it up and go prone.
9). Future mount and blade commands that the developers are working on? I think if they make it possible to split up your army into differnent groups, and control where they go then that would greatly benefit a world war 2 mod.
10). Flanking? Well sure? But it would require a command to split up your army. But if you get a group of men to an enemy's flank and they are exposed, then why not?
12). Accuracy? I think it should be a skill. And I also think soldiers should be very inaccurate, including you. Why? Cause first it's realistic. In fire fights, soldiers blast at eachother for a long time before eliminating the opposing force. It shouldn't be like SEE AN ENEMY, TAKE 2 SHOTS, KILL HIM. Unless you're really lucky. It should be, seen an enemy, take lots and lots of shots before taking him down. This would also make it more fun because then you would find yourself with your squad blasting away at the enemy and the enemy blasting away at you. And you're squad wouldn't be dying really fast, or you wouldn't be kill your enemy incredibly fast. So it would be a fun skirmish, instead of a extremely short skirmish.
13). Surpression? I think it would be hard to implement. It could be a skill. I guess accuracy would effect it.
14). Other skills? Can't think of too many. Movement speed? Range?
15). Upgrade tree? Well you could start with recruits. And then it would be able to upgrade to a bunch of classes, such as Rifleman, Submachine Gunner, Support Infantry, Mortars, maybe even tanks. And then maybe these guys would upgrade to other units such as, Snipers(They'd have to be VERY expensive, but effective. Maybe they'd be terrible at fighting with near by enemies because of their slow rate of fire, and they'd be easily surpressed), Machine Gunner, or I dunno.
16). The world map? How would it work? What do you guys think it should be?


Well those are all the things to discuss that I can think of.
*NOTE* I have no experience with modding things. I have only provided somethings to discuss. Don't come in here and start flaming me please.
I would just like to discuss it that's all. If any of you like the idea of a world war 2 mod, and want to get a mod team together, then by all means do it! I urge you. A World war 2 mod would be very hard to make, but if someone can pull it off, it would be very fun.
 
Erm... Mount... and... Blade...? But without the Blades or Mounts?
No offence intended, but I really don't see the point. There are already dozens of good WWII games out there, and many good WWII mods. Good luck if you intend to make a mod, but in my opinion, Mount and Blade is really not the game to mod it in.
 
yeah yeah, you missed my point. This is just a discussion. I'm not making this mod, I'm just thinking. Just wondering. And no there are no good world war 2 squad games. There are RTSs, there are FPS, but not good squad controll world war 2 game. Brothers In Arms is the closest you can get to it, and even that isn't so fun.

I don't mean to be an ass , but that sounds really stupid to me.

That is the exact problem with fps games these days , the rediculous crap where people walk up and shoot you in the face with a pistol and you dont die , or even fall over.
Im merely commenting on the damage system , but really , the only reason people shoot at each other for a long time in real life , is because they dont charge down streets like insane suiciders like in CounterStrike.

Still , goodluck with the mod :razz:

lol, the enemy isn't walking up to you and shooting you in the face. AHhh. The enemy would be far away, behind cover, taking shots at your team. And you'd be behind cover firing back at them.

RAWWRR I"M NOT MAKING THIS MOD! Just a discussion
 
Sooch,

I think everyone is misunderstanding what you are trying to do here.

Forgive me if I try and state it a little better for you. :razz:

I think that what Sooch is trying to do is create a discussion about whether it would be possible (using this game) to make a WW2 mod.

He, in no way, intends to create said mod ... just wants to know if the idea is viable.

I'm not entirely sure why he wants to discuss this ... but that is his choice. :razz:

Narcissus
 
thanks narcissus. I just wanted to discuss this for fun and see if maybe anyone would like to do this mod, but I guess no one wants to lol
 
I think it would be fun, really. Maybe a mod like this wont be good, but it could be. But the AI isnt good enough to match soldiers with guns, in my opinion.
 
theyll shoot ya, then ya'll shoot em, yay dead....

uhh...lets say the game will be Boom rocket, everything is daed
 
If you bought M&B, and you dont wanna spend money getting a WWII game, so you think that modding M&B is the only alternative... think again.

Go google "Wolfenstein Enemy Territory" and download it. It doesn't fall into the category of "warez" either, it's an entirely 100% free game.

No warez. No pirating. No illegal bull****.

Just a nice, free, good WWII game.
