A little snag...

[kyuubigan]

Greetings all!

My turn to DM in my group is coming up, and I am in need of some advice.

You see, the campaign setting I have in mind is something like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The players will be an international black-ops force comprised of the greatest soldiers from the greatest military powers in the world. I already have a story, npcs, etc. I've just hit one little snag.

I can't find a rules system that would work for this setting.

Please give any suggestions or advise you might have. I have about another three weeks to figure this out.

There was a Halo-styled RPG. That's about as close as it gets to CoD in terms of RPGs.


Except for the actual RPGs.

I don't think a Halo-style rpg would work. I was just looking for a system that I would be able to use to run this setting.

D20 Modern?

D20 Modern?

Eh...I don't like D20 Modern very much. It's just not that good a system.

[Delwugor]

Have you taken a look at True20?

I'm sure you could do something like this using the nWoD core book and only a little bit of tweaking (there are almost certainly resources listing equipment stats for that kind of stuff somewhere, not sure but probably the armoury books will do it).

Also, expect someone to recommend gurps in 5...4...3...2...

I think the Dark Heresy system might work with a little adjustment. My buddy who has had two actual combat tours thought the ranged weapon combat in DH was pretty sharp.

Twilight 2013 is ridiculously high-simulation, but it'd work beautifully if you can get your players to learn the rules.

New World of Darkness would work (you'd want to pick up the Armory and Armory Reloaded books), though it might be less detail-oriented than you'd want for a black ops game.
