Ask the [DEV]s a (?) - Part 2

[Ghostwolf]

Will you ever give us more possibilities in faction confrontation? Like MEC vs RU, US vs GER, GB vs FR?
[ ]yes [ ]no [ ]maybe

[Mineral]

[x] If our mapping team/community mappers find the time,concept and enthusiasm to make such maps/layouts.

But the team is definitely not against those possible confrontations I believe. At least I'm not

[Ghostwolf]

Awesome.
BTW: No new maps needed. Just replace the factions and rename the map^^

[K4on]

US vs GER, GB vs FR

this is very unlikely to happen, unless it is community content.

[ComradeHX]

If I were to make some kind of alternate-history cold war minimod for PR; would I have to go around asking permission to use weapon/armour...etc. models and maps that are already in PR:BF2 from their original creators?

To use maps yes, but to re-texture an existing vehicle in PR and use it, no.

[ComradeHX]

To use maps yes, but to re-texture an existing vehicle in PR and use it, no.

So weapons, kit/playermodels...etc.(everything except maps) are all good to go?

[Rhino]

ye, with the possible exception of major modifications or something and all providing its still only used within PR.

[Ghostwolf]

this is very unlikely to happen, unless it is community content.

But why though?

I mean, how sweet would it be if two highly developed western factions play against each other?

Isnt beating the Yankees once enough?

[Ghostwolf]

Well it was sweet yeah, but I mean if we add 78 players and tons of explosives and everything simulated it would have been better^^

[ComradeHX]

[houdaifatam]

Do you mean forum accounts?

How is this irritating you? I don't think we ever delete accounts but on request all personal information can be removed.

Sorry mineral but yes, this is irritating me

[Mineral]

But how? What if any of those people comes back after years? Wouldn't be so nice to see their accounts deleted. I don't know of a single forum that does such a thing.

[Ghostwolf]

Another question:

Will you bring back "thermal blocking smoke"?
For example for the squadleaders and vehicles smoke grenades?

[Mineral]

IR smoke was never in PR as far as I know?

[RedWater]

It wasnt intentional, But the couloured SL-smoke used to block thermals.

[WeeD-KilleR]

IR smoke was never in PR as far as I know?

Not officially at least. It was a bug with colored smoke which got removed.

[mries]

But is it something that exists? And if so, is it used by armor etc?

[MasterX]

I once suggested a smoke deploy system for tanks, not the popping smoke system like system, but like a cloud deploying smoke. It is used irl, somehow not in PR.
