IceFire 0 Posted January 19, 2004 I would like it to be like in the original CWC campaign. Very good balance between all branches, and much variation. Hmm, I don't know about what you played. But in CWC there was only Army. No Navy, no Air Force, no Marine Corps. And yes, Sam the pilot was an Army Pilot I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceFire 0 Posted January 19, 2004 Also, US Special Operations Units have played a part in pretty much every US military involvment since WW2, so I think there will be SOME spec op missions in OPF2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted January 23, 2004 BIS should make special forces missions that way BAS does, with lots of explosions and choppers zooming in from the sky and dumping out troops while tracers zip around your head...FUN! thats hardly special operations... more noisy hollywood operations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garcia 0 Posted January 23, 2004 I think that something OFP need to make a spec op mission more fun is some more control over the AI, and a better way to control them. All spec ops missions I've played (SP) with AI have been anoying because I have to control the AI, and that takes time in the spec op missions, since you have to have them in hold fire mode, stealth mode etc, and make sure they don't crawl into an enemy, and if the guy does that, you have to give him the order to shot. This makes the mission both more unrealistic, annoying and boring. So it would be very good to at least be able to give them a order to shot when fired upon or something. And that they could walk/crawl the way that keeps them away from the enemies, so you didn't have to guide him around them. Garcia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnypaUK 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Quote[/b] ]thats hardly special operations... more noisy hollywood operations A lot of special operations missions are like that raids and interdiction etc. If your going to do stuff quietly you use double agents within an organiszation to steal the documents or plant bombs on the tanks. There are very few true infiltration missions in western military history. apparently the VC did it a lot in vietnam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnypaUK 0 Posted January 27, 2004 One quote i remember hearing was "special operations are basically infantry work doing special jobs in small teams" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSpencer 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Sorry, that's really incorrect. Do organizations, even at the platoon level get sniper training? Do most get E&E training? What about AVWID training? Hmm... how about advanced riflemanship training? All those answers, pretty much no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnypaUK 0 Posted February 7, 2004 Their role they are infantry doing their job very well i see where whoever that was is coming from btw contrary to movies not even in special forces is every man a sniper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skynet 0 Posted February 7, 2004 they are people with specialised skills, daring to go places and fight battles that normal troops would not dare tread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSpencer 0 Posted February 8, 2004 No, that's pretty wrong too. You COULD send in normal infantry, you'd just have to alot a platoon strength unit for pretty much every SF squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnypaUK 0 Posted February 13, 2004 thats my point though SF are infantry doing their job well. their role in raids and demolitions or whatever else they are doing still use basic infantry principles lots of fire, aggression, cover your arc of fire etc In fact though on the other hand the SAS got a whole sabre squadron (a strong rifle company roughly plus organic vehicles) sent in to take out some mountain stronghold of the taliban and they were worrying about being used to do stuff that could still be done by normal infantry regiments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
