CHFlanker 0 Posted March 19, 2002 As far as i know it's impossible to add pistols to OFP (for now). Would be nice anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy17 1 Posted March 19, 2002 This is an official screenshot of the new Resistance expansion..... Why should they texture a new civilian outfit with something looking like a holster if they will not include pistols?? I think it´s worth the effort to integrate all the movements neccecary for pistols! Perhaps you will start the new campaign as a police officer? Imagine sneeking up to an unaware enemy soldier to conqer your first AK74 for the new dynamic campaign.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted March 19, 2002 Maybe its a handbag strap But seriously, like many others, would love to see pistols in the upcoming addon/expansion (BIS hint hint). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scooby Posted March 19, 2002 If BIS adds pistols into OFP I will be very disappointed to them. As they claim that OFP is realistic war simulation they should first add many pieces of infantry equipment which definetly are much more used than pistols.

InRange 1 Posted March 19, 2002 *gets a magnifying glass* It looks like a holster, but it seems to be part of the character's skin. Only for looks I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damage Inc 0 Posted March 19, 2002 It would be cool for the civilians but kind of useless for the soldiers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pistols *are not* useless in war. Officers have them. They are quite useful for executing deserters! .. but seriously, it's what they basically are for in the military.

Minotaur 0 Posted March 20, 2002 Pistols yes!...... Along with MLRS, Artillery, Combat Engineer Vehicles, Patriot Missiles, SAM Sites, Sappers, Fox NBC vehicles, Cupolas on vehicles such as 5 ton trucks and perfectley square camo netting so I can cover more units in the mission editor.

Blake 0 Posted March 20, 2002 Since OFP: Resistance is about a desperately outgunned resistance movement, I see no reason why some resistance fighters couldn't use pistols. Not that it's particulary useful combat weapon but it's certainly better than nothing! Regular armed forces don't use pistols on the field since they lack range.

LordZach 0 Posted March 20, 2002 it might be fun as resistance to start out a few missions with pistol only and use stealth to kill a russian with it and grab his AK-74 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corp.Pihla 0 Posted March 20, 2002 We did (IRL) have pistols in army. I was a bmp-2 gunner, and I had a pistol. In T-72 only commander (in finish tanks) has an AK, but every one else has a pistol. For it usefulnes... In urban, and in forrests, it could be useful, not in open terrain... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Satchel 0 Posted March 20, 2002 Pistols would be nice to have for civilians, Special Forces, Officers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted March 21, 2002 Silnenced pistols for special forces maybe? Also, snipers should have pistols too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
