Syndicate
A Cyberpunk-themed Total Conversion mod.
For now, only RMG and Tours of Duty use the new factions, but you can still play the regular missions against the Nowheraki Insurgents if you want to.
Be warned that the enemy units are almost as strong as the player units (since you fight against playable factions, and start with a fresh team), so you need to be much more careful than in the base game. There are usually fewer enemies on the maps to compensate.

If you just want the factions in the regular game, look here:

KNOWN ISSUES:
– Enemy SWAT can’t use shields properly (the animations are borked, not sure if this is fixable)
– In RMG, you sometimes play against your own faction (unavoidable, you can’t filter the teams)
TODO:
– Adapt RMG maps to have more choice for colder climates
– Shield/Melee and 1H melee animations
