If you do use my Idea I want some credit for it, also I can make website pretty good:

Sorry for any errors I made while writing this...

LOL. Firstly, you do realise that it was called the Cold War not because it was set in a cold region, but because there was no fighting? Good. Just making sure

Secondly, it seems a bit bare bones at the moment, without any real concept to define it differently from all the other team-based ideas that are coming up everywhere now. Just a few extra features would do the trick.

Yeah I knew its was called cold war cause their was no war

Hey, it's cool. I was just checking. You'd be surprised what some people believe. Especially when it's about Australia. NO! We do not ride around on Kangaroos. NO! We do not do anything else involving Kangaroos (and riding ).

Lol, Yeah i livei n australia people think kangaroos like live in are backyards ... if they did my dog would eat them along with everything esle: Koalas, ....???

Sorry for derailing your thread with our international Australian issues
I'll try to get it back on topic here. One thing you could do is to actually make it a fictional war. Y'know, make it a unique, interactive and immersive fictional war, based on an alternate version of the Cold War. Like if the events between the USA and USSR escalated to a point where war was the only option to them both.

Here's a tip: read "Red Storm Rising", a book by Tom Clancy. It's awesome, and is pretty much set in an environment the same as you described your mod idea. The more I think about it, the more similar the book and your idea seem. Such as being set in the Cold War, and a large battle taking place in Iceland (your artic setting). Here's a synopsis of the novel:

"When the largest Russian fuel refinery is blown up by terrorists, the Soviets find that they have lost half of their fuel supply. They are sure that the United States will not let them buy any. They devise a plan to split NATO and then go take the fuel in the Gulf. They detonate a bomb and make it appear as if Germany is behind it. This causes all eyes to be on Germany. The Soviets then make their move and take an Air Force base in Iceland and further implementing their plan. The United States and NATO fight back in all arenas: land, sea and air."

It truly is a great read.

Anyway, back to the mod and gameplay. One thing you could try is instead of the same old weaponary that every mod seems to include, try some new ones. Instead of a US Desert Eagle handgun, include the Soviet Makarov PPM.
Here are some truly unique weapons that, to my knowledge haven't been used commonly in mods. You could use any of these instead of the frequently seen AK-47.

AK-101 (Russia)
AK-103
AK-102/104/105
AEK-971
AS "Val"

sounds like TFC meets Cold War... I would play it though

sounds intreasting
but needs more detail. yes some uniqe weaponary would be very welcome.

i think some of the classes could change. wheres the genral class. ie solder type.

Yeah, unique weapons are much better - so many of 'em are real cliches now - AK-47s and M16s are way too oversued. At Dh3 we used European weaponry that has just come into service or is about to come into service within the next couple of years.
When was the last time you saw a Famas Felin G2 in game?

make it futuristic and you got a winner

World.guns.ru

i saw this gun in Chaser.

make it futuristic and you have TF 2...

Chaser? Never heard of it :p
Make it futuristic and you don't got a Cold War mod
Besides, that page has practically the entire Famas range (which includes the G2 right at the very end lol)
So there.

Chaser: craptastic, futuristic game. (PCG: 47%)

your idea is about as inspired as the shit i took this morning

I like it, keep the artic theme and maybe exaggerate things a little (think Red Alert), and you may have a winner.
