/! THIS MOD IS ACTUALLY FOR QUICK MATCH ONLY /!

Factions – Each of the seven factions has its own vehicles, weapons and ranks icons as well as a minimum of 6 different soldier model + eod, camo vest, flak vest, elite soldiers and an elite player skin.

Calls – The Talebs and Insurged doesn’t have any possibility of calling airborne reinforcements nor heavy armor. Russians and UK RMC have their own unique models for paratroopers.

APC riding – Insurged, Talebs and Russians soldiers can sit on the back of their APC and engage the enemy.

Vehicules – Insurged and Talebs doesn’t have any heavy armor, but they are well equipped with RPG’s.

Medal – The player can buy a medal from the armory as soon as he reach 2000 xp, this object gives him an unique soldier model as well as increasing his speed and decreasing his visibility from AI. You can respawn with it as long as you have enough RP.

Weapons – Each factions have their own weapons, with their own models and hud icons, all balanced.

You, of course, have my permission to do whatever you want from this mod, I used the mod "70’s Style" from "Filibuster Rhymes" as a template even if I’ve finally only keeped the SKS Simonov and G3 from it in the end… But anyway thanks a million to him! He gave me the willing to mod this awesome game…

And finally thanks to Modulaatio : Pasik and JackMayol for this masterpiece.

– Weltkrieg team : hud icon/weapon model of the k98, mg34, ppsh and P38
– Filibuster Rhymes : hud icon/weapon model of the SKS and G3
– JackMayol : hud icon/weapon model for the m16a4 scoped, m4a1 lmg and m4a1.
Zombies/Survivors AI file and animations, zombie claw weapon.
– The Soldier : for the help on a "weapons don’t show up" problem

New vehicles models – I want to try to make custom models more detailed and mostly historicaly accurate for each factions. Any help is welcome!

Custom Calls – I’d like to diversify the calls for each faction, create some variety (ie bomb raid instead of artillery for USMC, maybe an heli raid instead of the mortars) Any ideas are welcome!

Asymmetrical fights – I’d love to create an asymmetry between the conventional forces and the unconventional ones, while keeping the game balance. Any ideas are welcome!

Reporter teams – I’d like to create a new soldier class in each factions wich all have the same loadout and soldier model, it will be a reporter team with a little spawn chance, a camera/videocam non lethal weapon and a vest wich make them almost undetectable by the AI. Those squads will follow the fights just as actual embedded reporters do. Accidentally (or not) killing them will cost a lot of RP. Don’t know actually if it’s possible to change the RP loss depending on the victim class but i’ll take a look. Any ideas or thoughts about this gameplay mechanism are (really) welcome!

Campaign – I’d like to enable the campaign mode, I’ll take a look at that.

Maps – I will probably take a look on map making but it seems a little harsh and time killing, and vanilla maps are really fun enough!
