What is the "Rising Conflicts" website?

PM any suggestions you have.  I cant stress the following enough:

I will just submit the ideas to a MOD team, my map editor dosn't work and ect!

Good idea Superior Mind, find some first and post the pics and I'll consider it

But Norway is right next to russia, and rebels and insurgents typically have AKs and stuff

OK, add the damn AK-101
LOL, the Norwegian army's common rifle: (A)G3, tank: leopard, plane: f16 (too be changed with JSF or eurofighter or something).

Can't understand what we should have to do with the IRA, we're not EU, but truely friends,

Irish Dawn sounds like Irish Spring for your dishes. Interesting idea though. A Red Dawn mod would be cool too. You know like the movie but not the guerilla/Patrick Swayze stuff. More of the large scale Soviet and allies invade the US kind of thing. Just a thought.

That was a completly different IRA, which dispanded in the 40's!

There no such organisation known as the IRA,  The one you seem to be talking about it the Provisional IRA (PIRA). There is also the Continuity IRA, the Real IRA and the Original IRA (There not actually the original IRA thats just there crazy name!!) to name but a few extreme Republican groups.

At one time (1970/80's) PIRA was the most heavily armed terrorists in the world so you would'nt have to limit there weapons to solely Eastern block nations. Huge quantities of arms have been smuggled into Ireland from around the world (especially Libya) including sympathizers in the US, they even aqquired a couple of stringer missiles + launchers but were unable to operate them and converted them to mortors or so the story goes. Though they decommissioned a large part of there arsenal last year.

Id agree with $keletOr though, the PIRA are criminals who use to idea of a united Ireland as an excuse to carry out there criminal operations for purely financial gains. If you wanted to create a mod in which you play as members of that organisation it should be a mod for druglord, dopewars or gansters in which you deal drugs, knee-cap people and kidnapp peoples wifes and children.

This mod would make more sense if it was a clash between the Irish state and Iceland etc against England (cant believe I just said it would make sense if Ireland went to war with England !! ) over a flare in tension in northern Ireland or something. At least that way people could get to fight with modern weapons (such as the Styer, and the Javelin) and you would'nt be glorifying terrorism! Also the Irish armies special forces are supposed to be pretty good I hear, and they also have loads of cool kit.

Sorry for such a long post, thanks for reading cheers!

PS: Irish DPM uniforms are the coolest looking DPM's on the planet!

May as well make it Battlefield, April 1916.
'Irish Dawn' reminds me of being hung over after St Patricks day, but it's generally a good idea. I like Ireland, and I have Irish roots, (Ireland, not North Ireland.)

Plus, Irish accents rock. Hopefully the Dice voice actors won't fuck it up.

I would like to point out that Iceland does not have a military, it is under the protection of the U.S. military and for the record I think this is a terrible idea, any group like the IRA that bombs innocent civilians should not even jokingly be put forward as a side for a video game.

Did you decide to ignore my reference to the current IRA? Most people outside of Ireland only think of what the "IRA" is today. In a highly far fetched game idea like this there doesnt have to be any real comparisons to reality. It could be like the IRA from the 20's or something completely and utterly fictional. I was actually thinking of it in a revolutionary sense rather than what it is today.



Ya the Irish Rangers or whatever the special forces are called are actually very well trained and well equipped as far as I know. The Air Force are rather embarrassing :p and theres no vehicles of note either in the armed forces as far as I remember .

What are DPM uniforms by the way ?

I could do voice acting for it, if you want people to actually understand it though better to ignore my last statement

Sorry point taken should have read more carefully, but in fairness there are loads of "IRA's"

DPM's is the colour and pattern of the uniforms, I swear there cool looking! (Im a "bagger" by the way and the only reason I think the uniform is cool is probably because they never issue me enough of it!)

I suppose for armour theres mowags and scorpion fighting vehicles and my favourite the Nissan patrol!! lol (though they started taking delivery of hummers)

A 1916 mod would be real cool, a big urban map, with loads of buildings you could enter etc. It would probably be more suited to COD though.

Yeah I meant toi ask that, how did they get into England? The mod should be based in the north.

PS: There's 4 million people in Ireland by the way!

May as well make New Zealand invade Australia while you're at it. That's four million vs tens of millions too.

Meh, we don't need the whole country as an army to invade Australia, we'll just send over fifteen certain induviduals. If you're an Aussie you'll know who I mean.

DPM-Disruptive Pattern Material.  It's the camouflage style used by a lot of armies including the British Army, though obviously colour schemes vary.  The DPM part is to do with the style of camouflage used.

And personally I think this idea for a mod is in pretty poor taste.
