What the hell is MEC?

Kill001 · 02-19-2010, 02:20 AM

Well, decided to ask this since MEC appears to be the only faction in Project Reality that doesn't seem to be based off any real nation, and their arsenal consists of Middle-Eastern military-based equipment, etc

anyone wanna give me hints to what nation MEC is based off of? Or is it just based off of the Middle Eastern Army as a whole?

middle eastern coalition. yeah, it's made up. you decide what countries they are ;D

Kill001 · 02-19-2010, 02:31 AM

By any chance will the devs replace it with a more 'realistic' faction (Iraq, UAE, etc) or will be left the way it is?

Just curious

I think, generally, the non specificity of the MEC allows us to put them in a wider range of combat situations. They can be against the Russians, the Americans, the IDF... idk, generally, I think we just like the idea of them being less specific. Within reason of course, but its just simpler this way.

Not that I speak for the DEV team or anything, its just the general feel of the forums

Insurgents and Militia are generic factions and the Taliban aren't a nation.

ach, you know what I mean

but insurgents, militia, and Taliban are known to exist while MEC is just... there

MEC is a leftover from BF2 and was kept because it was simple and provided flexibility on what factions on what it's allowed to battle. It will most likely never be removed as it's one of the more polished factions out of the whole of PR.

Think Sudi meet Egypt. Except they don't have m1a1s.

MEC was made by Dice. Its them we have to thank for such an...odd Faction

plus the fact that the devs can add whatever reasonable vehicles/weapons to them and it won't look odd. for instance, if i saw a bunch of MEC driving a janked up stolen Humvee, i wouldn't think it was odd. XD
