    The Average American?

    You seem to have missed the point. People always use the 20% of americans a passport argument to indicate that americans are ignorant, etc. I also dont think any americans would claim that going to Las Vegas would make them a world traveller. Whereas contrasting European and American levels of passport holders seems to imply that every European with a passport goes on holiday with some deep interest in learning about another culture. I hope i've explained this in simple enough terms for you to grasp.
  3. Poor, persecuted right wing you. Have you even played the game? Please provide instances of where the U.S forces are shown to be evil? I havent seen one. The fictional communist forces are portrayed as murdering civilians etc. Why is it "crazy" to make the observation that being in a war is unpleasant? How should war be portrayed, as some kind of non-stop party with assault rifles? OFP if anything, portrayed Russians in the way you described. Perhaps they felt, with AA, that they it would be disrespectful to portray warfare in gung-ho fashion whilst making a profit off of it, but that wouldn't fit in with your victim mentality so best to ignore all of the above.

    The Average American?

    Thats a very typically snobby European thing to say, as soon as we compare ourselves to Americans we suddenly forget what about 70% our own population is like: A - Americans can go to Canada or Mexico with a drivers license B - Fat, stupid English or German people staggering around Spain pissed up on larger does not equal sophisticated world traveller.

    The Average American?

    I think Anti-americanism picked up since Bush got in, the tabloids in Europe picked up on it and Micheal Moore started shifting a lot of books, so people with no real interest in politics started having all these strong opinions.. The funny thing is people I know will start saying this and that about America or Bush, but their the exact kind of people who would be 100% behind him if they were American. People who read The Sun for example.
  6. I loved the tow misson. Are you talking about the night misson early on in game where you counter an SLA offensive? I turned the headlights off and used NV and had some of the squasd in one of the M2 humvees at the base. I drove and ordered the gunner about. It was pretty easy. The bridge misson isn't perfect though.

    What are you guys reading?

    I finished "The Road" by Cormac McCArthy not long ago, its one of the darkest things I've ever read. It's set after a nuclear war and is about a man and his son whose supposed to be about 10 trying to travel South across the U.S because its getting colder in the North. It's good because Cormac McCArthy is a "serious" authour and most post-apolyptic stuff is badly written sci-fi. And I just finished "Globablization and its Discontents" by Joseph Stiglitz for uni, it was a good read though, its mostly about the IMF.

    "Sanitize" - just plain wrong

    I took command of the team headed to the right of the village where the ural is parked and had everyone go prone, we picked off all the troops, joined up with the other team and then went back and wiped out the reinforcements. Zero casualties on my side.

    Patch 1.05 impressions

    I'm very happy with it, NightVision workds properly, I think virtually all of the graphical glitches have went away except for LOD's appearing late or one at a time. One weird little thing though, the notepad on the breifing screen is just a white rectangle now, the overlay has disappeared. Seems to be running better as well. Thanks BIS. I knew you'd come through for us.

    Latest screenshots available

    Does anyone else think the firing from vehicles video in VBS looks a bit crap? If thats the best that can be done insude the engine you may as well leave it cause the AI probably wont able to use it. I think being able to pivot in the proxy rather than walk around the cargo area is preferable, but mabye that can't be done? I forsee tons of bitching when the game is realeased and angry forum posts with exclaimation marks. I think it will be good though, the fact it will take full advavntage of the newest hardware is a bonus itself if it means we can expect big, lag-free battles. (To me anyway.)

    Mapfact.net releases DAC

    hi, I really like this script, I've made a few little missons to test it out and I really like the AI, I had a couple of questiosn though, Does it reacts to manually placed friendly units though? Will they still call support? Also, is it possible to make destroying respawn camps and stopping them from spawning new troops into an misson objective? And lastly, is making it work with a resistance side player a problem or just something you havent had time to do, just wondering cause their tons of things I want to try out using DAC. Thanks.

    What do you *HOPE* will be in ArmA?

    I hope we will be able to stage large battles with minimal lag, I'd be a little diappointed if all the graphics stuff come at the cost of upgrades to the actual gaming experience.

    What sort of physics do you want for the heli's?

    I'd say semi realistic, id like a bit of realism, but I think a lot people expect to much from the game engine really, its not a flight simulator and it never will be. Its irritating when someone makes an aircraft addon and people start bitching about handling and crap. I want to be able to control the thing with a keyboard, since I mostly play as infantry, what I really want is for the AI to be able to fly around without crashing.

    WP Soldiers 0.5

    I've been enjoying playing around with this pack, I noticed a little bug with the BRDM though, it dosen't like steep hills, they cause it to bounce around quite a lot, its fine on level ground or gentle slopes though.

    Turkish Union Addon Pack v2.0
