Thread: Taliban in PR

From the Dev Journal on the PR forums. www.realitymod.com

Here are some updates to the Insurgency game mode we are working on.

WIP

1. If all 3 caches are revealed, the coalition stops gathering intelligence points. The gathering continues once a cache is destroyed and a new one is available. This will stop the instant revealing of caches we have seen in v0.8, that didn't give a chance to the insurgents to organize a defense.

2. Once the coalition receives enough intel to reveal a new cache, the insurgents will know it 3 minutes in advance. This change in addition to the first one will give enough time to insurgents to move and prepare for defense.

3. Civilian collaborator squad leaders can deploy hideouts.

4. Coalition soldiers that kill collaborators outside of the ROE will get their positive score zeroed out + the current penalties. Same thing will happen if an insurgent destroys a weapon's cache.

5. The new Al-Quds RPK will be available at the caches in addition to the RPG and PKM.




6. More kit variety for the insurgents.



7. If the coalition loses a vehicle, the team loses tickets. This was already in v0.8, but updated to be -10 tickets to tanks/apcs/jets/helicopters, -5 tickets to jeeps/trucks and -3 tickets for static defenses hmgs/aa. This was standarized and added to all game modes. Insurgents don't have these penalties.


In v0.85 the Taliban faction will be properly added, being a faction on its own. It will be closer to the Militia then to the Insurgents in terms of rules and gameplay dynamics: deployable assets, rally points, kit request, etc. This faction will be featured on Afghan maps (Korengal Valley, Operation Archer, etc) leaving the more urban maps in Iraq to the Insurgents (Al Basrah, Ramiel, etc).

The main game mode for the Taliban will also be Insurgency, but allowing more flexibility and deployment to other game modes like AAS, Command and Control, etc.

I love the new kit options and taliban as a faction in korrengal and op archer will rockorz. There is a lot of speculation about what the claymore on the sapper represents.

The part in bold is something everyone should pay attention to as it reflects that any time you lose a vehicle in any PR game it is going to take tickets from you. No more disposable supply trucks, humvees, or helos. Evidently it is 15 tickets per tank, helo or jet and 10 tickets for other vehicles and 5 tickets for static gun emplacements. Nice change if I say so myself.

I hope they also get Canadians and/or Israelis into the game as teams as well. If they do this could put a whole new spin on Op. Archer as it was made with Canadians in mind instead of the US.

Good info Blakeman thanks!

Now if we can just get them to tell us when they will release it. Sounds like the changes will be very effective.

oooOOOOoooo

*begin PR .85 drool now*

AK-74u, awesome. I like what they are doing for the Taliban, and the vehicle ticket thing should defiantly make a difference in matches lol

I had heard that Canada and the Israeli forces were near completion, looking at the Canadian Forces forums though it looks like a few things still need to be skinned.

Evidently it depends on the map, one of the devs posted that not all those kits are available on every map. There was a big argument about if the G3 is in insurgent hands in Iraq (it is) and if it should be included for insurgents in PR (it should).

I just came up with a great idea they should implement.

What if when the taliban commander got the "officers" kit he turned into OSAMA!! LOL LOL LOL

Then you will be playing a lot of the updated Korrengal and updated Operation Archer because I think those two maps are where the Taliban faction will be.

I think the G3 is for the 'ex military' type kit in al basrah and ramiel.
