The mod team has limited means and can only set out for so many ends. While adding the ultra-elite counter terrorist Vatican Swiss Guards as a new faction would be cool, ultimately it would require an awful lot of time and add little to our mod.
2. Has it already been suggested?I think so as I'm assuming an artist is a different swimlane than mapper/programming etc and this can be parallel pathed with the actual game development. My suggestion is to update the hero image from a black+white to color with assets to better communicate the depth of this game and make it seem more modern for first-time visitors.
In over a year of development, we've had quite a lot of suggestions made, many of which didn't pan out but are still re-incarnated monthly by new forum-goers. While we appreciate the ethusiasm, we'd also like you to get to know the long and glorious history of the Suggestions forum.
3. Is it already in-game?I don't believe so.
Sometimes completely new members who have yet to play the game will suggest something which has obviously already been done. Other times a less apparent feature, like bullet drop (every bullet drops, folks) will be requested. Its always good to double-check that claymores haven't been removed from the game completely before suggesting we give them to the engineer class.
4. Does it fit with the Main Aim of the Project Reality mod?No, but there's been more assets over the years in changelogs/trailers that can be borrowed from perhaps.
Please remember that our main pronciple aim is to promote teamwork, make the BF2 engine into a realistic yet fun tri-service battleground, and introduce British Forces. We have added to this list as 'secondary aims', like adding Insurgents etc, but please do NOT bother suggesting a complete re-design or any kind of special forces only mod, as it will no doubt be met with a brick wall from Devs.
I think so with the recent efforts to modernize UI and continued features that are added to the game. If I stumbled upon this mod's homepage, I see some videos that are nice, but I may be marginally more interested in downloading if I saw a higher fidelity hero image of a combination of infantry, vehicles, and an missle/ammo flashes, etc.
