thirtyg 0 Posted July 4, 2004 The last two pictures i managed to take of these 'soldiers' during my Tonal trip. BTW to all those talking about the arms, some OFP custom animations do terrible things to the models. I wouldn't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redliner47 0 Posted July 4, 2004 they look pretty damn good, and close to release as well. Hopefully ill be able to dirty their uniforms soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M-N-0N 0 Posted July 4, 2004 woah!!! nice stuff = gues there is no point in me finishing my model i was doing ... dont think it would fit into OFP anyways ... pluss i dont know how to get em ingame =:s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rishon 0 Posted July 4, 2004 now, I REALLY can't wait for the SEALs, if Mercs look this good, the seals must look like a dream...(when they are done.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy Boyington 0 Posted July 4, 2004 NOTHING in this thread has ANYTHING to do with VBS except your comments. All the animations are wilcos, hunters or modified versions of the two (by me). Nothing is riped/ported/borrowed from VBS, none of the models have ANY VBS content. Let the speculation continue  [Edit] @DreDay AK-74's CAN be mounted with sound suppressors, see here and here. speculation continue? i already know what they are and id gladly tell the rest of you but id have to kill you first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rishon 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Tell Us, NOW!!! Seriously, when people tease me to get things it COMPLETELY destroys my want for them, as they don't look cool anymore it's just "Ok, thats it, too much teasing, I Don't Care anymore." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePara 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Bad ass doesn't do these guys justice, lol. Tonal's been screaming for foriegn guys like this! Are these going to be realesed soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WinterJet 0 Posted July 4, 2004 All the pics I've seen of PMCs in Iraq and Afghanistan have looked significantly different. Sort of a mix between civvies and combats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePara 0 Posted July 4, 2004 That's because those guys have a completely different mission and are in a completely different environment. Those companies provide private security, close protection, and convoy escort. They don't conduct direct action operations of any kind at all. These guys (Executive Outcomes, Sandline) hire themselves out to conduct raids, ambushes, snatches, recon and all forms of direct military operations along with security, but why would Tonal need them in that capacity? Also those guys are wearing that gear A. to somewhat blend in and B. it's practicle for their job. What these units are wearing are practicle for their job and terrain.

UsMarine408 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Wow even i have to admit thats pretty nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePara 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Out of curiosity what kind of camo patterns are the two farthest to the right? I know the one on the left is based off what's already used in the OPFOR pack and comes from Rhodesia as I recall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Very strange, we have western looking guys using diferent types of camo and using Earl's spetznas equipment, they have to be mercs but i dont know what to expect . Maybe a mercenary pack with a small campaign set in Tonal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taconic 0 Posted July 4, 2004 http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/thirtyg/today/15.jpg[/img] My God! That zipper is .0003mm off center 9/10ths of the way down and that pocket on the right has one extra polygon! I hate BAS and curse their children to the seventh generation! All kidding aside, they look awesome. But seriously, guys. Complaining about pointy elbows and trying to make VBS connections (which BAS have denied about 40 times already) in response to the first BAS post in... well, a really long time? Doesn't seem very wise IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calm_terror 0 Posted July 4, 2004 WHy is BAS doing this last time they hyped sometihng it ended up being kinda disappointing. and they still never released the little birds.

ruff 102 Posted July 4, 2004 i believe these guys are definately Sandline or Executive Outcomes PMCs or some made up african mercenary group they use weapons that scream african mercs but also it MIGHT be russian mercs of some sort africas got the most pmcs or mercs due to its many countries in civil war Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jotte 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Sandline, Executive Outcomes or similar organizations were the first thing that came to my mind too. No matter what, the units look very nice indeed. My only beef is i'd like some more polys on the boonies brim. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
