peanuckle_00 0 Posted January 27, 2003 To all of you who enjoyed nam pack 2, and the hk pack series, where you get all your stuff in one pbo, you will be glad to hear that an associate of mine and me are working on getting permissions to compile a complete desert pack. That's right all your desert addons in one pbo file. Now refer your friends to one download for your desert maps instead of several downloads. Right now we're working on the permissions but it should be out some time by this next month. One complete desert addon package. If you have any suggestions to desert addons out there that should be in the pack please post here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USMC Sniper 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Yes and I'll be making the M16A4 (That's what they use now, right?) and the M60E3, as well as compiling some stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eviscerator 0 Posted January 27, 2003 actually, from talking to a source inside the US Army i believe they dont/wont be using the M16A3/4, which only difference from the M16A2 is that it has a flat top receiver for mounting optics, and one of them has full auto instead of burst, near enough the whole us army is switching to the M4 series, its just as accurate as the M16A2 and can have varius optics mounted on it easily and its good for FIBUA/CQB, so the M16A2 and M4 would probably be better than an M16A3/4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USMC Sniper 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Do you guys want the M16A4 or M16A2? And don't the marines use the M60E3 still? I'll ask Crielaard if we can include his FNMAG in the pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edgie 0 Posted January 28, 2003 SEALS still use the M60E3. I'd also suggest everyone go look at FN's site and check out the Mk46 Mod 0 here. There is also a Mk48 in the works... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is just as accurate however and shoots fine out to 300 meters which is the maximum range the U.S. Army requires of a soldier to be able to hit a man sized target at. The Marines haven't switched because Marines train to hit man sized targets out to 500 meters and I guess they don't feel the M4 is sufficiently capable at that range. But I could be wrong as I've never fired the M4, only the M16A1 and A2. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bosniarat 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Well i would say that Miles, the M4a1 Shoots good out to 200 meters but the bullet drop gets worse toward 300 meters. At the last range I was an ARSO Or Asisstant Range Safety Officer, and I saw shooters having problems engaging the 250 to 300. From what i could see the only thing the Shooters had to do was aim just a tad higher; rather than aiming for the neck at 250 aim for the head. And the 300 aim above the head. I never got to play with the M 16 a4 so I dont know if there is any difference between the M16a2 and the A4 but i doubt that they implemented Full Auto on it, because burst is actually better than Auto because you can keep it on target better (or at least thats what they told me , I still cant hit crap on Burst. But I ROCK with a SAW ) Well thats my little rant Have a good night! HOOOAAH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FerretFangs 0 Posted January 28, 2003 That's not to say that a Delta Trooper wouldn't pick up an M240G, HK-21E, G8, M-60E4, slingshot, ballpoint pen, or uncooked hotdog, and use it to kill a hostile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanuckle_00 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Okay people no new weapons will be made for this pack...i think...I'm not sure about that still... However I do know that this pack will contain some handpicked desert addons for ofp, meaning not all of them just the best quality ones. We will be giving credit to the creators in one huge file called credits where we put the readmees of all the different addons. We will also have them all show up in your editor under the desert category so they won't be so spread out, just like the nam pack did! We're officially calling this pack the iraq pack and it should be out before America goes to war with Iraq the second time. This combined with the release of BAS's new deltas and rangers should add up for a very fun time for you and your friends. We're doing this for the co op players and mission editors, campaign editors, single mission editors, everyone in the community who wants to be able to experience war in the desert. Edit: We still could use some iraqi army units to throw in so if you can make them to include in the pack please inform us here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
