I think my suggestion makes sense, even though I say it myself. Consider the amount of work your fellow development team has put to MEC and contrast that with the amount that the MEC is represented in 0.9, now that several maps are to be retired. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think the MEC have like 3 maps, Al burj, Kashan and Muttrah (albeit the last one is more popular than all other MEC maps put together). And they have no insurgency map. This disparity could be corrected by removing the redundancy of having the US Army represented in two very similar maps. With MEC Karbala, you could introduce some variation to the popular Insurgency servers, have a MEC insurgency map which we lack, and solve the two problems (MEC being under-represented, the US Army over-represented in two very similar maps).

Ok. rant over.

This is a good suggestion that will spice up the game and it is also very realistic. MEC vs Ins is similar to what we will see on TV in a few years from now in Iraq when the americans pull out and the Shia/Sunni violence escalates.

I love the idea. Why only coalition forces have privilege to fight against rebels? IRL arabst/muslims are very restless gang. They often fights againts their own goverment. Turkish (turks) military has fighted decades querilla war with kurds and Saddam Hussein also have to do military operations in northern Iraq to keep kurdish uprising low. In Afgan, tribers have been on warpath since day 1 when land was occupied. Muslims among themselves have bad blood between. Shias and sunni muslims shoots and bombs reguralry their fellow country mens. In terms of reality "insurgent vs insurgent" would be very possible scenario.

Nowdays insurgents fights mostly against legal power keeping goverment (<-internationally recognized). In fact we have demand for making MEC vs insurgents map.

I dont hate arabs or muslims. It just happens to be how things are here in planet earth. Peace.

Karbala and Ramiel are absolutely, ABSOLUTELY not the same experience!

Don't know why you'd say such a thing D:

I'd take Karbala over Ramiel any day.

[Rudd]

hmm, MEC would indeed be interesting.

the BTR would ofc be good, but there wouldn't be much in the way of support vehicles...

[1GeKKo3]

Yeah its a good idea, except aren't the insurgents and MEC potentially on the same side. They both fight the US.

At first I though he was talking about making Karbala an AAS map and got me thinking that karbabla wouldn't be that good a map for it, but i reckon Operation Archer would be an awesome AAS map, although some flag zones would need to be built up a bit more.

Mmmm... Then give MEC an urban reskin... Meow...

I like the Idea but you'd have to change the name of the MEC to Iraqi Police Force and you'd have to change the guns to AK's due to that's what they normally operate with them. I'd also be strange to have US go against the MEC but the MEC also goes against insurgency

[ma21212]

+ 1, MEC fighting ins. makes more sense cuz if thier was a "MEC" it wont allow BLUFOR to go into Iraq and take over.

[SkaterCrush]

Yeah I find there are too many true Blufor v Insurgents maps right now, I think it would be good to have this, it'll definately add variation to the map cycles.

Could this open up a China insurgency map...?
