El Che Thread

This will be a jungle warfare mod chronicaling the Cuban Revolution. It will be a team based mod. I'm only looking for a mapper right now to get the concept up and going. I do modeling and animation. Reply if you are interested in creating a one of a kind jungle warfare mod.

Somebody had this idea a while ago, wait I'll find the thread.

EDIT: found it Moddb.com

Don't base anything on Che. He's a cliche of a revolutionary leader nowadays, and theres many more voltuionary leaders for the Communist or Cuban party that went unoticed.

Would still be pretty cool to play as Che or Fidel though....

I saw a che guevara mug the other day

I saw a Che graffiti in a video game

It's called cs_havana is CS source

While utilizing the backstory of Che Guevera, who is rather overdone in terms of Viva Le Revolucion! figureheads (in other words, Revolutionary Leaders), would certainly add something to the game, there needs to be a real game behind it, because you'll already turn heads, and in this day and age hopefully they aren't glowering, for that attraction, and if you make it just like DoD, RO, CoD, MoH, et cetera, then why leave that game?

So, apart from Che, what makes it special? And please don't tell me realistic damage and weapons...

What I think is important when tackling a theme like Che or the Cuban Revolution, is that you fully understand the significance of it as well as the ideology they tried to promote - then think critically about transcribing the essence of that into a game.

This would make a much more believable single-player mod where you can tell a story and teach someone something about such an important event in history.

I think Volta has the right idea. The significance of the Cuban Revolution to some people is the way the rebels never gave up in their fight against Batista, went to jail for their plans, but still overcame a powerful force. Others believe Che is the 'ideal' rebel, and many people's idols, even if they don't realise what he did.

Think of a way you can show both of these significances and mix it with some unique locations and gameplay, and you could have yourself a fab mod.

If you try and add a unbiased Historical accout of the events that took place. Like maps based on actual conflicts that took place. Tell the players how the real events unfolded, and the impact it had on the revolution, and even present Cuba...that would rock.but Im kind of a history geek so thats just me.
