The russian faction status.

Just calm down, man. Relic has some of the worst mod support ever seen in a game and this team has spent the last two years jumping through hurdles. Now they're ready to release it! There's no way they'd do something like this right before the release.

[BurroDiablo]

So you want us to waste our coders time by getting us to set them useless tasks? We are a working mod team who have better things to do than  mucking around with idea's that probably won't work and, even if they did work, would upset the balance of the entire game. This is the wrong place for asking modders to experiment...

Post Merge: January 04, 2010, 01:03:21 AMI just got confirmation from our coders that this is NOT possible... so, meh...

Excuse me sir, but it would seem that these people have already taken leaps and bounds out of their comfort zone in order to bring you this mod.  Criticizing their resolve only shows how narrow your mind is. 

Take it easy kid.

[BATTERIES]

Again I need to repeat what Ive said before to answer your silly responses.
1. I said I love how the mod has come along and gratz.
2. I said that I appreciate the position the modding team are in at the moment, logically you must have priorities.
3. I said it may not be "workable" right off the bat.
4. I said that even if its done and the balance vs the allies isnt completly fair , who really would care. Its an extra bonus mode that friends can have some fun with , they arent going to cry and say the mod in unbalanced.
5. I never said anything to devalue the mod or bring it into disrepute.

Its an excellent looking mod , most promising Ive seen in many years . I still think the idea is feisable and would be appreciated by all.
And calling me a kid , even if it makes you feel better doesnt really make sense as Ive more than likely been playing games since before you were born.

"WTF, so am I  I had to do a personal Uni project on it..."

lol I had to too!

[RaIn19]

BATTERIES , The idea is very bad. As the option offered by you will push away from a mode very much a considerable quantity of the players loving historical reliability. And in general, you have told that the idea is impossible!
And you as the idiot try that that to prove...

[WartyX]

I suppose it could make an interesting final mission to the campaign if someone could dig out a good example.

There was a British-Soviet battle right at the end of Hidden and Dangerous 2. Obviously the Brits won.

Whilst the idea is quite good in theory, I think its would be too much effort for something so small, and basing the positioning of factions on some loose reports is to me the same reasoning for adding a Maus to a new German faction.

Besides nobody here seems to particaularly like the sound of it.

Haha H&D was an awesome game, despite me being awful at it 
That idea for a little Easter Egg campaign mission would be pretty cool methinks.
Although if you really want to get the fans all rabid, make it Manchuria 

Cheers

[BATTERIES]

Hmm I never thought of using a bonus mission like that , I mean after berlin mission and credits or something, that would be very interesting and cool.
I'll see if I can find some evidence , I heard of these skirmishes a while ago.

[Loupblanc]

 Sure, campaign mission would be interesting
 But squirmish/classic play? (Multiplayer?) Nooo...

[SavageWorld]

4. I said that even if its done and the balance vs the allies isnt completly fair , who really would care.

I would!

But I think that it migth work well as a mission in the campange.
