Chemical weapons.

[petteerr 0]

Hey guys,hi, i just wonder how about some chemical weapons.(mustard,phosgene...etc)

Imagine fighting in a dusk of chemical weapons, wearing mask.(mopp).      

would you like that?

would be nice if OFP2 had a campaign based on a war in which chems were used

Hi guys, i was just thinking if you would like to wear mask and uniform(mopp), trying to protect from chemical weapons.(ex: mustard,phosgene).

The symptoms are very painful.

Imagine trying to fight in a chemical dust, what if you dont have the right equipment?(hehe).

Even if you had, you cant even see what is happening around you,maybe some dead animals or innocent civilians,who by bad luck were in the wrong place the wrong time.!!(try not to shoot some of them if they still alive).

Vehicles, are we safe there?

Thats the idea, what do you think guys?

Hm... have you ever worn a protective mask? Or protective gear? Ever tried to fight in it? It's not easy. If you think a mission running around half-blind and with extremely poor reflexes and quick fatigue would be fun, by all mean, go ahead.

Mustard gas symptoms

Quote[/b] ]If inhaled, symptoms include: delayed severe irritation, sneezing, coughing, and bronchitis, loss of appetite, diarrhea, fever, and apathy. If contacted via the skin, symptoms include: rapid penetration without irritation, swelling (blisters) and reddening (erythema) in 4-24 hours depending on dose. Eyes are the most vulnerable to mustard gas attacks. Symptoms include tearing (lacrimation), light sensitivity, irritation of conjunctiva and cornea, severe necrosis and loss of eyesight.

Phosgene symptoms

Quote[/b] ]

Coughing

Burning sensation in the throat and eyes

Watery eyes

Blurred vision

Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

Nausea and vomiting

Skin contact can result in lesions similar to those from frostbite or burns

Following exposure to high concentrations of phosgene, a person may develop fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) within 2 to 6 hours.

Exposure to phosgene may cause delayed effects that may not be apparent for up to 48 hours after exposure... People who have been exposed to phosgene should be monitored for 48 hours... Delayed effects can include the following:

Difficulty breathing

Coughing up white to pink-tinged fluid (a sign of pulmonary edema)

Low blood pressure

Heart failure

Please point out to me which part of the above quotes is 'hehe'.....

[hellfish6 7]

Yeah. If you want to simulate actual exposure to chemical weapons, mix up some household chemicals (I won't tell you what) and breathe deep. Or pour salt into your eyes. Or lemon juice.

[Colossus 2]

Ahhh, the smell of toxic waste.

hehe

but as it seems that the game will be something modern there shouldn't be chems as they are prohibited. correct me if I'm wrong

Having the ability to use chemical weapons in this game i think it will be very interesting.

With the right amount ,there is much you can do with them, maybe you could delay enemy lines, make them incapable of reacting for some time(so you must do hurry).

Lets say there is a terrorist leader you would like to catch ALIVE, you could use chemicals to make him and his army useless for some time, then you could sent a specs forces  team,or vehicle(apcs,tanks etc) to arrest him.(just dont forget they sould have mopp uniforms, be aware of mopp enemy troops or by enemy vehicles capable to chemical warfare, IF there are any).:)

Close to this territory are they any other soldiers of yours? be aware of the amount and type of chemicals you will use,you must have good informations by your specs forces,no mistake here, be sure for the point of attack:)

Also i cant forget about one year ago what happened to the Russia, with the georgian terrorists,and the Russian commandos, we had use of chemicals there,i think this game can offer simulated combats with similar scenarios.(make incapable terrorist army and catch the leader alive, you dont want to risk many losses,use the advantage of quick surprise attack to make useless a whole army or a big team, so use chemicals instead)

I think even if we cant have chems in a campaign or single missions, we could use them in the mission editor, there are many missions you can think using chems.!!

Does anyone of you have heard about poison bullets??

There is actually a chemical artillery addon in OFP at the moment, and all the things you want can be implemented into the current game with scripting.

Yes, yes there is.

Why are there two of the same\similar topics with the same orginial poster and same images inside the same forum?

Riddle me this, batman.

Methinks petteerr has chemicals on the brain, metaphorically and literally!

[petteerr 0]

Ohh, Thanks Major Gripe.

As you know the brain mostly works by chemical reactions,so i consider your last post as a compliment.

What about you, do you have a chemical brain, of course i suppose you are not a machine with batteries,who need charge,so i suppose you have a chemical brain too.

Let me tell you sth, i dont have intentions of being aggressive or pretent the clever guy who i know everything and i allways have sth clever to say.I will never again answer to "compliments" like yours.

I just have an idea about the game, and i wanted to share with all of you.Moreover its not me who will decide for the game,(but all of you and the designers) iam just a customer who will pay for that game, and i just thought that maybe it could be nice if we could have this feature.Also as you said many guys out there try to make scripts for chemicals, but ,do everybody know to use scripts?,is it so simple to find and use?is that enough???.So like me there are many more chemical brains out there.

I would like to thanks the moderators and this site for the opportunity they give me to express my ideas and my thoughts,wrong or good(ideas), everybody tries to do the best for this game.So do i.

Kind Regards

Petteerr.

If chemical weapons were to be implemented then, unless a scenario involved fighting against a particularly poor 3rd world military phosgene and mustard gas would be unlikely. These weapons still exist in the arsenals of (?) the US and Soviet Union but are much less likely to be used than sarin, soman, tabun and VX which would not create a dense, chemical fog. However VX in particular is battlefield-persistent, capable of lingering for three weeks or longer in places like the underside of fences etc. It has always been a hypothetical option for area-denial. A mission set in a VX'd region, littered with dead animals and people, requiring NBC suits, could be quite atmospheric and spooky.
