I'm nearly done with this map...
I mentioned in the comments of RvBOmally's
Battlefield 2142 map that I'd probably do a cover of the pre-War Battlefield 2 world.
I've obviously decided to take some liberties here and there as the game doesn't seem to give much of a background to the 'War of 2007'. The way I see it is that the Cold War probably ends differently, while the Middle East takes a different turn with Iraq and Syria reconciling with the Saudis and form the basis of the MEC in the late 90's or early 2000's. The EU grows to be more politically and militarily centralised much earlier than OTL - albeit without becoming Nigel Farage's worst nightmare.
I don't think the War on Terror* as we know it happens ITTL. Instead the Chinese and the MEC (at this point it's a Saudi-Iraqi led EU-lite + military alliance to keep those filthy Western kaffirs out
) team up to keep the US (and probably Russia, as Moscow probably avoided the Yeltsin era, retained some Soviet territory and is more Western friendly) out of their respective spheres of influence. The Chinese are taking advantage of their status as Superpower II: Electric Boogaloo to reign in any possible US allies (read, Vietnam and the Philippines).
