So, uh... I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but... why can't we have fluid stances again?

[Imperator[TFD] 444]

Hmmm...

Given it's only on the Tempest, i don't see how this could be one of the vehicles hinted. There wouldn't be a NATO version of such a weapon, because they didn't even know what was going on during the tremors. Also, it can't be used in game. But it could be a fast vehicle (Ultra Light Combat Vehicle) or it could be just another version of the Device. Though, having only a prop vehicle would be a major let down.

Well besides the possibility for new light vehicles, or some kind of vehicle, there are new scopes and the long awaited Bipods. Question for the scope's however, is if they can be Zeroed according to their real life counterparts. Also, looks like the CheyTac won't be receiving a suppressor, which is unfortunate. They could have at least given us Black versions of the MK-20 and TRG, given they went with multiple camo's of DLC weapons. Never the less, i'm extremely happy with what i've seen so far, oddly more so than i was for the Heli DLC... and that's coming from Fly-Boy like myself. More excited for an Infantry Focused DLC? GG Bohemia Interactive.

There is a version of the 'device' that is removed from the Tempest and comes in 2 forms; deployed and undeployed.

Hmn.. How about actually being able to launch a/several tactical missile(s) from that big fat British submarine? (I forgot its name though.. Gives it more reason to be about' date=' other then being a mere prop for looks. (And with the vague hint on something oceanic/sea-ish going on... Well, I'd say it's a slight possibility there.) Modern Pacific-style Island-Hopping anyone? (insert new fictional landmass due to earthquakes going on.. ;))[/quote']

They could call it Atlantis. Or Minoa :)

This new plate carrier / chest rig setup is interesting. It's like the standard plate carrier, a chest rig with UGL grenade slots in the back, and a shoulder pad. I wonder if the shoulder pad provides ballistic protection?

Also, here's some rare photos of the new bushwookie species being introduced to Altis.

An AAF sniper standing up. His face paint is visible.

Nice find. Wish the quality was a bit better though. Wonder why they didn't have a challenge to find out was all the gear was too.

i'm afraid that A3 becomes a huge "sniper ghost warrior"

Nah, given the fact that even today, NATO is turning into a Special Operations Powerhouse, I couldn't see why more silenced or deadly weapons for special infantry is a bad idea. Give it some time and some other country is going to copy Canada's Active camouflage, and boom, Ghost Sniper with a silenced TWS weapon. Let's just hope they make civilian cloaking too, so we can hide during a massive homeland invasion.

I won't lie.

I am a little concerned that now after the marksmen dlc the DMR, precision rifle section of the game is going to be extremely bloated.

[zukov 490]

maybe the DLC will go out with "boomerang" anti sniper device, that works with an extensible mast on MRAPs

That would be sweet.

Would be awesome and if they develop the tech from that they could use it to bring counter battery radar adding more of a dynamic to artillery fire in the game.

Whole new dynamic would spring up where firing artillery has very real concequences and the threat of having fast air, helos and or counter battery fire rain down on your position is a consequence of using it.

would also open up interesting gameplay with shoot and scoot being a viable gameplay element due to return fire. For this all to happen though the artillery computer would need to be completely redone and the point and click be removed.

Soflam confirmed!

one of the new gl vests is called raven vest. maybe there will be a Raven pmc faction in the future.

Very cool but that tripod though :/

It's almost like a toy manufacturer made a tripod.

Here is to hoping for some added functionality like the ability to use the laser designator to measure distances or get map grids using the gps.

Lightweight fiberglass or carbon fiber tubes with rubber feet... Looks pretty good to me.

Looks like a plastic roomba in hot yellow with legs.

Yes please to vests with camo. Shame the lighter plate carriers didn't get OCP variants as well though.

At least it's compact, and probably very durable.

Now thats more like it awesome.

It's an automated turret so needs more than just a tripod to hold it up. It would require moving parts to rotate and elevate the designator.

It's also very cool.

New...? That's been there since the release of the game...it's there because there was going to be a Raven PMC faction in independent but they scrapped it...and left the vest in

[Imperator[TFD] 444]

And they fixed up the Raven vest too, it's not a bad alternative vest for CSAT soldiers.

How has it changed exactly? It looks the same.

[zukov 490]

now has hidden selection and shares the same textures with CSAT's uniform but the back side is still black
