"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 am eagerly anticipating this mod. Looks very, very badass.
The Matte paintings were done in Photoshop and the LA and Mars concepts used 3d renders as a base.
Wraiyth, you know you got a spot with us when you finally find time...no rush!
Really cool stuff guys.
I concur with the below poster. What did you use to make those pictures?
Good question. The fact of the matter is that many of our team are not registered on moddb and/or don't want their identity known to the public. So we decided rather than forcing everyone to sign up on moddb, we'd list the three people administering the project, and allow the website itself to list the team in full.
Really cool matte paintings there! The artist knows his job and this gives a good impression of the athmosphere you are striving for. Though I wonder - why are there only three people listed as team members when you actually have fourty people - active and inactive - working on the mod?
Amazing work.. :)
