the kind of characters u need in this could be:
Character 1: person who goes by the book and follows orders without fully grasping the consequences.... just loves killing Insurgence... doesnt like lazy people...
Character 2: is a kiss ass to character 1.. is somewhat good with tactics but is mainly concerned with impressing character 1..
Character 3: is sooo lazy... all he wants to do is sleep and goof off... 9 times out of 10 character 1 states he wishes he could kill him...
Character 4: this person can be the ultimate gomer pyle... stupid is to smart of a word to describe this guy... tends to TK people when he really trys to help them...
in case yer wondering yes i got these from Red Vs. Blue.....maybe we can build on these ideas or maybe they will inspire our own....

I thought up a more simplified idea that I think could be cool:
Still have the main focus on a 4 member Marine Squad, but don't have a specific enemy on the side of the Insurgents. Rather have the Marines on the "mission" to secure nuclear weapons. This would be the drive of the Marines, but the nuclear weapons would be just a ploy. Insurgents would think/know that there are no nuclear weapons, but would not be able to communicate this to the Marines (thus comic tension).
The Leader of the Marines (Character 1) would be always focused on being tactical and on fulfilling the mission, but would not be smart in areas other than fighting. Other characters developed later... but one of them will definately would have to be a 'smart one' that more or less knows what is going on, but cannot overcome the leader's clout.
Insurgents would not be as tactical...
However at the end of each episode or each season, the Marines would fail (die or w/e). If die, then just assume that respawning is a reality. They would fail/die differently each time ... suspense!
Tell me what you think, and if this idea seems better. I have a busy week, but I'll think some more about it on the bus.. lol

I also like the idea of having different stories on each map. Maybe have each "season" play out on one map, then move on to the next.
I've noticed that in Red vs. Blue that the main sourse of entertainment is from tension between characters, and I think we should focus on it, but they also poke fun at the game. We could do the same, but not as much since Insurgency is not that popular (inside jokes..).

Ok, developed some aspects of the 4 characters:
some are similar to what Fargo posted
Character 1: The Leader - by the book, excellent soldier and tactical leader, but lacks the understanding of the big picture. All about the mission. Uses Sergeant class.
Character 2: kiss ass to Leader. Decent soldier, but has stupid moments. Follows Leader without thinking for himself. Uses m203.
Character 3: "Commando". Excellent soldier, jack of all trades, but doesn't speak much. Complicated character (can be developed whichever way during the season). Uses ALL weapons; a different one each time you see him.
Character 4: Rookie. No clue what's going on. Thinks the whole mission is stupid, very cynical of everything. Uses Rifleman.
as for Insurgent character development, we can have as many as we like, there isn't really a 'squad'. But can generally break em down into two categories: intelligent and crazy stupid. As you might've guessed the crazy stupid kinds will suicide run every single time they see an enemy.
Ok, that's it from my side. If you guys like the idea, help develop it or tweak it.

Great input NIK! Yes this seems the best idea to go about it, do what works.
Building up the characters first would be best and increase the buzz about it, we need to pick one good map that we could have lost of fun on.
Just as in RvB the season happens in one map, i would say either sin-jar, or Baghdad.
Sin-jar would be a good choice because of the horrible time Marines usually have.
Baghdad would be good because of all the different places to record scenes on.

Gerry Mod
i dont have it but can we use Gerry mod's to help customize a location or scene??
also going on the nuke idea... they r searching for the weapons of mass destruction but really the weapons of mass destruction dont really exist and they r invading the INS for an unforseen reason they r not yet aware of either...
keep on posting ideas this is looking like its going to take off....

I think we need more then 4 marines. At least 5 ( 5 is a scrim team ) And there is always different traits with each player in that scrim team. Like the characters 1-4, each have a different trait or personality. Maybe we should make it at least 5, but also have other marines, like pubs who come in as the comedic side and ruin the mission up from Day 1. They plan to team kill the pubs because they're always in the way.

Well there would be 4 characters only on the Marine side (4-man fire team; that's why I picked 4). We should definitely develop characters on Ins side, and quite possibly on Marine side - for example a Commander, or other fire teams.
As for "pubs" joining the scene for comic relief, would they be 'rookies' or do you want to treat the movie as a game rather than "realistic"?
PS: already thinking of a scene with "washing machine race" rofl
PSS: sounds cool Fargo, would give an extra interest element to the movie

Lets setup a meeting and talk about this on the weekend. Sunday would be a good day before the Open Scrims.
As for the movie i think we should keep it like the online game. Just run the missions and play the game with a little of a funny story to it.
and use the pubs and make fun of them. (like hazing)
WE need to try and make fun of the things we laugh at when we play against each other.. it think this would be the best way to go.
