Popular Post Ryko Posted July 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi folks, Just wanted to keep you up to date with development on AWE, I have managed to figure out ALiVE's ORBAT module enough to create some new factions that will be making an appearance in an upcoming version of Gauntlet. 1. Middle Eastern Insurgents Here we see armed insurgents in their random outfits and headgear, lightly armed and armored. They use a selection of random uniforms, shemags and vests. The more heavily armored insurgents, again, using a random selection of helmets and vests. The PLA China faction, using their fashionable Type 7 uniforms, vests, helmets and backpacks. They use the QZ95 series of weaponry from APEX. Middle Eastern Coalition forces, wearing desert cam. Led by the Iranian army, they use the KC2002 series of weapons and various HK/AK gear, technically the Katiba's shouldn't be chambered in 6.5mm but 5.56mm but who's gonna complain. The best part is all these mods will come in at 22kb. Copey, Karate Pyjamas, SkullCollector and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowAce11 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Is it planned to keep the factions specific to the map? The PLA would be a welcome enemy on Kerama, for example, whereas the MEC would be horribly out of place. Might help ever so slightly with immersion. I've also heard a decent amount of chatter about switching the sides every so often to avoid the exhaustion of the Brits and Freedombringers (US). Is it planned to make OPFOR-compatible map versions? Usually there's a problem because the base protection screws things up, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These can be changed in the lobby by an admin prior to mission start. A default setting is used for each map, which is map-appropriate. Quote Usually there's a problem because the base protection screws things up, right? Eastern or insurgent factions can be selected without being affected by base protection. People generally don't like the opfor factions because either they are unfamiliar with the gear or they think it will take everyone too long to organize their loadouts. It should be noted that the Spetsnatz player faction have access to the npz / b33 an variants which accept all regular optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I base this purely on the fact that not everyone has Apex, and if it ever comes time to pick up a weapon from an enemy this could be a problem.

Miczils Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Ryko saves the day. Sent from my SM-G935F using a phone app that is really irritating because it constantly advertises itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
