Messiah 2 Posted July 16, 2004 For all other times, there's the init box its just that simple... why do people always complain about loadouts... addweapon is your own personal loadout method Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donnervogel 0 Posted July 16, 2004 I guess it's because in MP games you can't see any changes to loadout in the lobby. And IMHO that's quite a good reason for having enough variety of preset loadouts. Off course addonmakers can't make all loadouts people can come up with ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted July 17, 2004 My only small nitpick with these guys is the hand gloves, they are a little too big and i believe they would look better with small black leather gloves, other than that they are perfect to me and i really like to see them with western gear (SAW's, M4's, etc). Still i believe some dont like them because they are not S.E.A.L. or Delta's but model and texture wise these units seem fantastic to me . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spm1138 0 Posted July 17, 2004 Nice addon. The models and texturing really feel like some work has gone into making them of a high quality. Nice to see a different concept being done. Can't really get my head around the absurd whining earlier in the thread but I guess if BAS hadn't been setting the standard for so long people wouldn't be bothering.

miss_cleo 0 Posted July 17, 2004 i think that this add-on is great... as for locking the addons, that is the creators discretion. i personaly like to tweak the configs of my addons, but im not going to complain about it. besides, 5 minutes of searching should get you the method to unlock these... its insanely easy.

Baphomet 0 Posted July 17, 2004 It is insanely easy, because of that I'm glad this download wasn't a total writeoff insofar as it's usefulness to me. Well now at least. I think it's just a bit unfortunate that things have to be that way. Units like these are great because they don't have any visible markings of affiliation. They're just generic units that can be used as mercs or militia... or whatever. That customizability issue was pretty much the only one I really have. I don't understand those who complained about this addon being made and not another. Nor do I understand why people would be mad that instead of making weapons for them, they simply used the marine assault pack weapons, which are perfectly decent, if albeit a bit on the high detail side.

RMATICH 0 Posted July 18, 2004 Although I have yet to try this addon [i will when I have time next week to enjoy it] I want to extend my warmest thank yous to the BAS team for providing me with some of the best addons made for OFP. They DO NOT look like reskins to me. I heard an interview with Tigershark on some site and he is fantastic to listen to. Hats off to him and you also Deadmeat. BTW. An armoured vehicle like the BTRt could be a part of an aid package or bought through some international arms dealer or arms trade show. They have show in places and a country can purchase new or used weopons at these shows. We give military aid to countries. How do you think Isreal and Egypt get those fighters and helicopters? Isreal has some of our Patriot missles. Hope that clears things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoweryBaker 0 Posted July 18, 2004 I like this pack because the jungle ones look like the FARC that operate out of columbia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebud 18 Posted July 19, 2004 I missed the first 30 min each time it was shown So I missed the Angola section that featured EO. The Sierra Leone mission which I had read about before was the basis for the idea behind these units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I thought that documentary was TOP notch if it comes on again I'll prob try to record it...I can't get over how alittle over 300 EO guys saved a nation..and the documentary made me grow an even LARGER distaste for the UN what a bunch of useless a-holes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imshi-Yallah 0 Posted July 28, 2004 I have only one thing to say to BAS: OOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooh Shiny Edit: Argh since I bumped this post up so much I'd better say something else. I think that what BAS has done here with Tonal and this pack is probably the single most important innovation they have made for the OFP community; not to belittle their other always excellent work but what they have created here is a point of focus for players, whether they're making missions to be published or just mucking about having an indepth background to base things around makes playing flashpoint a whole lot more fun. In response to critiscisms of the BTR-T being included, this is just the sort of highly effective kit that small governments in the back alleys of the global village have been purchasing in the last decade. Export also rans like the BTR-T are often exported in small numbers to desperate countries who can't afford the popular choice...the manufacturer offloads the kit, and the customer gets a quality asset. I only found out they'd been released just now btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
