"Make Peace or Die"
“Talon 1-5” is a story-driven single-player and co-op mod that aims to combine realism and combat tactics with a science-fiction environment. It will put players into a war to end all wars where they will have to think in order to survive. Taking inspiration from history as well as imagination, we will strive to tell a story about the infantrymen and women of the early 22nd century and how they must persevere for survival and victory like all the Marines who preceded them.
The story centers around an 12-man special forces squad, codenamed “Talon” attached to the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment of the United States Marine Corps. As our world once again sinks into war, Talon 1-5 becomes part of the Battalion Landing Team for 31st MEU. As a special operations unit, Talon 1-5 are tasked with hunting down and detaining an influential revolutionary leader, as he may hold the key to ending the conflict before them. This classified mission will underlie their more immediate objectives in participation of the North American and Asiatic theaters of the third great war.
A first person shooter at its core, “Talon 1-5” will incorporate gameplay that is both believable and tactical. However, tactical is not necessarily synonymous with slow. Players will have to work with their squad-mates to survive some of the most frantic and hectic situations that the war will throw at them.

Hey everybody!
A lot of amazing things are happening behind the scenes over at Bohica, many of which we can't really go into too much detail about at the moment, but suffice it to say, we have some nice media to show you, until we're ready to roll out the red carpet...
First up is a WIP model for the PLA Gunship by Linus "Nova" Hoffman.
Next we have a US Army sidearm, the FA-6 by Predator, and our futuristic version of a Humvee, the LAV-22 MIEV by Zanrok!
Stay tuned for some exciting new developments on the horizon! I wish I could spill them all now, but you'll just have to sit tight!

I've been keen on Realistic shooters for some time now: this has the potential to become a great mod.
There are few truly great coop games out there. I know a great many players who hate the exploits that many seek in versus games and prefer playing against AI. Alas there haven't been many games with good AI AND gameplay. The UE3 engine does sound as though the potential is there. Add this to a great concept and a well-motivated and talented crew and you have something special on your hands.
I'll be watching this closely.
Good luck guys.
;)
The models and the concepts look great!

Thanks for all the kind words and support. The whole team really appreciates it and it really motivates us to push forward. We are striving to bring you a really top-notch gameplay experience; unique yet familiar in many ways.
Our art-style, as many of you have picked up on, is based on "believability" above frivolous "cool-factor." It would be impossible to say what we are doing is "realistic" since no one can know exactly how our future would be, but we hope to offer a glimpse of perhaps a possible future.
Thanks again, and stay tuned for more awesomeness!
Great stuff...keep it up! :D
Looking good :D
Wow, guys this is looking sweet, i love the architecture and concept art, cant wait to see what you pull of when UT 2007 actually comes out isntead of using Roboblitz...
Im going to have to get my level portfolio sorted out, im really liking this mod! :)
I know we've been promising it for ages, but our new site design is finally up! No more ugly white text on black background! Hooray! Head over to our forums and let us know what you think.
Thanks Tommy, you can also change the shade of the metal if you like, the four little squares above "BOHICA" will let you make it lighter or darker.
Nice update to the site man! Compliments to its designer :)
