[Proposal] Royal Marine Commandos

[Who Dares Wins]

This is an idea i've had floating around in my head for a while. The main thing putting me off posting the idea has been how similar the Marines would be interms of the British Army already in PR however after looking up some more things, I feel they would be quite different to the current British Army (Like the USMC and US Army are quite different).

The British current lack any type of sea-borne assault maps and with the upcoming release of the Russian Army, the British probably have the least amount of maps of any of the currenty PR factions.

Heres some ideas:

Edited Skins

In alot of videos/pictures of the Royal Marines, most of the time alot of them are wearing berets/no head gear. A simple change could be made to the British Officer to replace the 'Standard Infantry' model and an edit of the Sniper model to be used with 'specialists' (EG: Medic) just as an example.



New Vehicles

Rigid Raider


Sea King


BvS 10


Alot of the assets needed are already in PR with the British Army, the biggest task for the faction would of course be the Aircraft Carrier but at the very least, the British would get their share of seaborne assaults.

Not the best presentation ever but you get the idea of what i'm proposing .

Need a carrier model before the DEVs will do this really, Sgt Smeg is working on the HMS ocean atm

in leu of that you could always have an island offshore that the RM have setup on...

but since the skins and whatnot are the same we could just use Lynx helos and tadaah! - RM is born in PR.

But they shouldn't be treated as a separate faction, since they aren't quite like the USMC vs USA is.

The Royal Marines also use the Merlin as well as the Lynx like rudd said so no need for the Sea King which is also going out of service in the near future.

The BVS 10 VIKING is also being replaced by a new version of it called the Warthog, the problem with this is that it can't be made for BF2 unless we only wanted it being the front cab which would be very odd since BF2 can't handle trailers at all, we have tried with POC stuff to try and get it to work but its simply not possible with the BF2 engine.

there is also many other things that would need to be made than just a boat and a carrier/assault ship for this to really work, mainly a map

and yes, this would not need to be a seprate faction since the British Army and Royal Marines have hardly any differences in weapons, camo etc.

[[R-DEV]strima]

It's been mentioned many times but Viking can't be done due to the articulated joint between the cabs.

And look, Seakings with fastropes!!!

TBH I would like to try some of the newer factions as the Brits still have a fair amount of maps and the community matches can always allow us to change who plays what map.

though, do RM really go around without bodyarmour and stuff?

I really doubt that

Assuming that was a spelling mistake...


I knew there was something about that map :P

[[R-DEV]Rhino]

hehe, ye, wasn't paying attention to the spell checker

[williejones]

the skins arnt quite the same ((at least for the murlin) at least the one from the HMS Sumerset)

[[R-DEV]Rhino]

ye that is navy camo, also that merlin has a radar or w/e fitted under its belly like most navy merlins do.
