MidEast Crisis 2 Mod for C&C: Tiberium Wars MIDEAST CRISIS 2: MiGs, Betas and Wooden Shoe Speak news
Jerusalem is under siege, heavily armored soldiers from Europe make claim to the Holy Land in the name of peace and equality. Those fighting for Israel and Islam separately contemplate their fates, wondering how it came to this. They share the same god, yet kill each other in his name. They face similar hardships, yet aim to compound them in the other. How is it that one of the most sacred places known to man, has seen so much bloodshed? M1A3 Abrams and F-35's may have replaced knights and horses, police action may have replaced religious fervor but the fact remains that at the end of the day, the Holy Land may yet again be under control of the West. Welcome to the future, and the second Mideast Crisis. "Mideast Crisis 2"(MeC2) is a total conversion for "Command and Conquer 3: Tiberian Wars" and is developed by Isotx as the sequel to its "Command and Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour" conversion "Mideast Crisis". The staff for MeC2 is largely composed...

With the announcement of the Closed Multiplayer Beta Test of the GOI, its time to show off their all-powerful MiG.
MiG
The newest threat to the skies of the Middle East is the MiG-39 that the Guardians of Islam recently commissioned from Russia. VTOL engineers from Yakovlev and forward-swept wing expertise from Sukhoi were united under the Mikoyan design bureau to create the best aircraft in the region. While it's unknown just how much the GOI paid for this new aircraft, it's assumed that the sum was a significant portion of their total military budget which partially explains why other military facets have been left somewhat behind, such as the GOI's fleet of tanks which still lack any active point defense systems. Whatever the cost, the result is certainly a formidable warbird; VTOL and supercruise capable, the MiG continues the Russian tradition of emphasizing maneuverability and acceleration to engage in close-in dogfights with enemy aircraft. Countermeasures built into it from the beginning make it difficult to intercept with any but the latest missile system; the Guardians claim that even the vaunted Israeli Python 5 and American AIM-120 AMRAAM are impotent against it. It is assumed but not confirmed that it's armed primarily with the R-77M1 Vympel missile system or any number of droppable ordnance. Western analysts generally agree that the MiG-39 is superior to the F-35 Lightning II in most ways save stealth and probably electronics, but only a direct confrontation between the two aircraft will prove the matter once and for all.

Now THOSE are jets. :-)
If only I had C&C3 and my PC could run it.
Damn wish i had C&C3,those Syrian fighters look great
The planes look too turkish.As if the third party is not "Islam" but turkey.I just got the impresiion that guardians of islam should be religious faction rather than concrete islamic country.And why the camouflage is red.It just does not looks natural.Everything else seems fine.
By the way I would like if the EU are kind of zealous cristians.Not too much, but this is the Holy Land afterall.
that mod is awesome!
I think I'll buy CnC3...
Those are some hot planes... I'd fly them. Hell yeah. But they do look Turkish. Will Russia even send those?
No they won't, BECAUSE ITS A GAME AND THE MIG-39 DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST.
That's absurd... It's not a game, this is a movie ;P
No u.
The MiG-39(aka MiG-1.44) does exist, but it doesn't look anything like the real one.
They may not exist but this is the turkish flag painted on them.
Islamic emblem...
Yeah it is the Islamic emblem (crescent and star), but I think their concern is that it has the turkish colour scheme (white crescent and star on a field of red). Generally the Islamic colours would be White and Green, though.
Islam.about.com found this on google.
interestingly, the crescent and moon as a symbol of Islam started with the turkish ottoman empire; so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have the crescent and moon in the turkish colours. however, the five pointed star was not standard on ottoman flags.
Yes, hence why for most of our GOI units they are in the White/Green color pallet. However for this, we tasked spyVspy with designing an anime-inspired, superfast, hotrod-type jet (ingame it also has a large speed boost upgrade available). I really don't think it would look remotely as cool if it was green, or any other color.
Reminds of the Morgan from ace combat zero (The MiG)
yeah thats right DUTCH is the first with this mod in a MAG ( i think )
They usually are the first, those magazines have dedicated mod sections to actually showcasing mods. Others may have sections for modding, but for example...PC Gamer US...tends to spend more time writing about how modding sucks lately, than talking about mods.
proud to be a dutch man!
Might want to fix up that highway texture. Way too many tire marks, which are also repeated too much, and usually lines are meant to separate lanes, not for cars to centre on.
Yea, we caught the "cars driving on the lines" issue after we had uploaded it.
those jets look sick
