Ok this has nothing do wo with tactical shooters or GRAW. I have joined several mod teams and they have all failed, or are failing so i decided to take matters into my own hands and try and create something unique and above all fun. Here is a quick design document for it it may be slightly hard to follow if you have any questions about how it works ask. Im going to begin assembling a team, At this point all i really need are coders if you know anyone let me know

WORLD POLITICS (CODENAME!)
"WORLD WAR 3 is gonna be a BLAST!"
An unreal 2007 mod
Synopsis
World politics is a party game that plans to bring fun back into the mod community. At the start of each game players choose their country/character. The goal of the game is to win the "world war". This is done by winning mini games and succesfully defending your country. The amount of awards recieved determine the winner, Awards are given based on performance and earning "game points". The game has a cartoony light hearted feel, The players play as their countries real world leaders in caricatured fashion. The game is bound to offend some with its blatant sterotypes of the countries, but this adds comic relif to the game.
Gameplay
After characters are chosen or (perhaps randomly assigned) The game starts out by randomly choosing a minigame for the players to participate in. Depending on the game every player will earn game points based on there performance. For example First place- 20pts, 2nd 15pts, 3rd 10pts, 4th 5pts, 5th 1pts. Or perhaps the game requires collecting rings in a fighter jet, The points may be distributed by the amount of rings collected not the players rank. Once the first player reaches the 100 point milestone the game changes. He now can take control of the board if he chooses. Taking control of the board allows the player to perform special tasks to further themselves along in the game. Once the player uses his points he goes back to 0 (these numbers can be tweeked for gameplay, say increasing defense is way better than attacking a country- defense may cost 100 game points, while attacking may cost 50) Other players maintain their game points until they reach 100. Players can also choose to forfeit there turn to control the board and save there game points, However game points will not exceed 100 so any points earned while your at 100 wont be added on.
Control of the Board Options:
Attack a country- Capturing 3 countries can win the game. By attacking a country that country is forced to defend itself minigame fashion, Each country has its own uniqe minigame, this game involves defending yourself from ALL the other players,(the games are balanced so its you vs. them but its stacked in your favour). If you defend your country, you waste that players attempt to advance. (perhaps earn some game points?)
If you lose, A flag is mounted on your countries section of the map. You are not penalized for losing, but the player who initiated the attack is that much closer to winning the game. Also there may not be 8 players always playing, That doesnt mean you cant attack the unocupied countries. When this happens you have to defend your attack, in other words you are the one defending the county you just attacked as if you were defending your own country.
Form an alliance: In the next minigame you and your alliance partners points will be doubled, And Both your countries will be immune from attack when the next player takes control of the board.
When does the game end?
Game stats are constantly being tracked and limits to game length can be set accordingly: the game is capped at a 20 minigame limit (this # could be a server side option).
The game could be won when 1 country captures 3 other countries
One Country Successfully defends itself 4 times.
But ITS NOT OVER TILL ITS OVER! Ending the game doesnt make you a winner! All the stats are tracked and the game determines a winner based on overall performance
awards are given for:
most game points
Most Successfull defends
Most successfull attacks
Most minigames won
(something else Happy
The player who recieve the most awards (or in a tie has the Most total game points) WINS!
