Another vote for Twilight 2000... Although I think Twilight 2015 would be a little more long-lived (2010 has a shelf-life of 6 years 
).
).

Really? You've got to make a big, bright red post here when it is done to let us know and also provide a link where we can get it. 
I went and looked at some of it. Twilight: 2033 seems a bit too far into the future. I liked the pseudo-vietnam feel of Twilight:2000. Placing it in 2033 is going to make it feel more of a Sci-Fi game. You have to take into account the Army's Future Warrior system that they are working up. They really are working up a uniform and body armor that can automatically blend in with it's background. Obviously it isn't as good as the alien in Predator but it is a vast improvement to the camo patterns in modern BDUs. The FW soldier will also have all sorts of equipment such as a HUD built into his helmet that helps him identify threats and see in poor conditions. It is also supposed to have a GPS so that he knows where he is at all times and so that the commanders know instantly where their forces are deployed. A little too "Buck-Rogers" for my tastes in a Twilight:2000 game.
Oh... I thought of another game I'd like to see converted. Mechwarrior d20. I always loved the Battletech universe (at least the early years up to and including the Clan Invasion... got kinda crazy after that). The FASA system seemed "forced" to make it mesh with the Battletech rules. They weren't that bad but with d20 you'd make Mech combat an extension of man sized combat rules rather than the other way around. It really wouldn't be that hard to do... may have to work that up myself.

Talk about a hack-n-slash! I LOVED the Living Steel books and other background material, it was just such a shame that the game system sucked (although it was kinda satisfying knowing you blew 50% of the guys kidney away from the left hand side and also dealt him some nasty soft tissue trauma, whilst giving him a fractured rib ... bah!Calico_Jack73 said:
). You would want to keep the same feel if possible, so definitely a hard sci-fi combat system like the T20 one would be in order.A Pendargon d20 would be welcome too - at least because it would create some nifty rules that could be leached from it and bolted onto other campaign settings where you wanted players to be inspired by their passions and striving to exemplify their idea of good character (speaking in the moral sense).
