You nothern hemisphere ppl are just grouping to stop us aussies from taking over the world.
. Seriously, i have been lead to believe what pitviper said. Such as the weapon consfications being just media eye-candy, they did nothing to stop 6000 civilians being slaughtered........in my experience, I remember a big debate here previously about this, i just saw "No man's land" (btw, great movie) and i have read around quiet a bit. Then again this is no substitute for real experience. Set us straight denoir or just anyone.

It may sound stupid but is could be possible to steer the torp. via shortwave radio or something like that? btw, you'd think that you would be shooting down an aircraft with a speed of 700km/hr.
Just a quick sidenote: Has anyone heard of the australian collins class submarine? I heard from a somewhat informed source that the shitstorm it recieved was a load of rubbish?

In that case it was more than just "skirting" or a lone spy plane. It was a huge flock of migratory birds which happened to look very similar to a large formation of Soviet bombers inbound for the US on a radar screen. B-58's and interceptors were launched, and it was a fighter pilot who thankfully realized the mistake before the B-58's made it into Soviet airspace.<span id='postcolor'>

It could just fry/melt/microwave (radiation) the unlucky occupents to death? Even several metres of concrete can't stop much of the gamma rays (then again gamma rays a the weakest radiation).

I can barely answer any of these. I should find my trusty janes guide book

I see it a trump card which you should play wisely. Pull it out to early and you will pay dearly. Too late and the game is over. Then again why can't we play without them?

I have farming friends (i'm australian and friends are australian) and they really do say that pests do affect them (their farms). I used to be in the country myself and i have seen it. Some towns do go down the drain cause they (the youth) are bored sh!tless and have nothing to do (move to city for excitment or waste life on drugs in town). Again i have experienced this (the boredom). Erradicating pests (which happen to be living beings for all you vegeterian freaks) as a past-time is all for the better for everyone.

I doubt this photo along with a huge collection other fakes.
eg. upside down book photo. There is a really good site on this topic if i can find it. btw, This photo looks familiar as it was in a local paper i think.

The real question is, how many days of edibilty does it have?

I imagine it would have to be a web download only or an incredibly huge variety of missions to even bother with retail. Why, packaging, marketing and stuff so i see web option alot better (then again i ain't in charge of bis's marketing or anything), especially for us gamers. If it weren't the previous options, i would see it as an increbily over priced one or two new maps/really short/ long awaited useless... oh sorry, i was rambling on about AVP2:primal hunt and many more which seem to have tried this idea and obviously........ Maybe a 5 dollar map-pack or something like that?

Bad joke from my memory:
A chinese commander is on the battlefield when he hears "a US marine can defeat 10 chinese". Enraged the commander sends to of his men over the hill. After a short gun battle the commander hears, "a US marine can defeat 100 chinese". Enraged the commander sends 100 of his men over the hill. After a lengthy gun fight he hears, "a US marine can defeat 5000 chinese". The commander sends the 5000 of his men and after the battle, a chinese soldier managed survive and return to the commander. The soldier crawls up to the commander and says, "They were lying, there were two US marines".

you ain't gonna stop those gamma rays.
why?
Alpha radiation = helium 4He2 = stopped by cardboard and stuff due to such slow speed and large size
Beta radiation = electrons = stopped by a centimeter or so of lead
Gamma radiatiobn = complicated = stopped by not much really
, if i remember correctly, 4inchs of concrete of lead will stop only 10% due to light speed velocity and etc....what causes these radiations is the decay of an atom. Why there is any materials like this in your machine decaying is beyond me, what i think is the problem is "electro-magnetic radiation". Much better then previous radiations but still not fun. I can't exactly remember electromagnetic radiation but it mainly from high voltage power lines and stuff like that. Research says that high voltage power lines cause medical mayhem and i think if you want more then you can get it cause i a bit sleepy at the moment..

Have they? Did you know anything about AQ before the US started shouting "wolf" at anything. The measure of success for a terrorist organization is in the amount of publicity they get and the amount of fear (terror) they manage to induce in their target. Before the WTC attacks AQ was a little known terrorist organization.<span id='postcolor'>
have you ever heard of a country signing off some land/execuated head of state/stopped war to release hostages???
Would someone plz enlighten me if this has ever happened.
If you didn't see al queda/taliban/osam mentioned in any of your local daily papers after september 11, then we may somewhat blocked the terrorists

Q. If you had a gun with osama bin laden, bush and britney spears in a room and you had a gun with two bullets. Who would you shoot?
A. Osama twice ---(basically the really bad guy twice against the other two bad ppl. I'm sure you could add in your own infamous and evil bastards)

btw, would someone sticky this topic.
This time i have some jokes lined up, although some aren't entirely military but related sort of.
-------
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists; two men and a woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her!" The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job." The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. The agents heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow, and said, "This gun is loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair."

After a day of grueling maneuvers under the blazing Texas sun, the platoon stood in front of the barracks. "All right, ladies, think about this," bellowed the drill instructor. "If you could have ten minutes alone, right now, with anyone in the world, who would it be?"
Amid much mumbling, one voice was heard from the back row. "My recruiter."
---------
An Indian named Brown Elk walked into the saloon. He was a giant of a man with a six-shooter tucked into his belt, so no one dared ask why he was carrying a pail of manure in one hand and a small cat in the other.
"I'll have a whiskey," he told the bartender, and after downing the shot Brown Elk ordered another. Then another. Finally, after his fourth drink, the Indian pulled out his revolver, fired several shots into the bucket, released the cat, then ran after it. When he caught it, he returned to the bar.
"Excuse me," said the alarmed bartender, serving him a drink on the house,"but would you mind telling me what that was all about?"
"My father told me to try and be more like a Marine Corps helicopter pilot",he answered. "So, I came here to have a few drinks, shoot the shit and chasea little pussy."

ROFLMAO,
Not exactly jokes but interesting. from: here
Murphy's Laws of Combat
You are not a superman.
(Freshly graduated recruits from Marine boot camp
and all fighter pilots, especially, take note.)
Suppressive fires – won't
If it's stupid but works,
it isn't stupid
Don't look conspicuous
it draws fire
(This is why aircraft carriers are
called bomb magnets)
When in doubt,
empty your magazine
Never share a foxhole with anyone
braver than you are
Never forget that your weapon
was made by the lowest bidder
If your attack is going really well,
it's an ambush
No plan survives the first
contact intact
All five-second grenade fuses will burn
down in three seconds
Try to look unimportant because the bad
guys may be low on ammo
If you are forward of your position,
the artillery will fall short
The enemy diversion you are ignoring is
the main attack
The important things are always simple
The simple things are always hard
The easy way is always mined
If you are short of everything except enemy,
you are in combat
When you have secured an area,
don't forget to tell the enemy
Incoming fire has the right of way
Friendly fire isn't
If the enemy are in range
SO ARE YOU
No combat ready unit has,
ever passed inspection
Beer math is:
Two beers times 37 men equal
49 cases
Body count math is:
Two guerrillas plus one portable plus two pigs equal 37 enemy KIA
Things that must be together to work,
usually can't be shipped together
Radio's will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately
Anything you do can get you shot
including doing nothing
Tracers work BOTH ways
The only thing more accurate than incoming
enemy fire is incoming friendly fire
Make it tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out
If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take
When both sides are convinced that they are about to lose, they are both right
Professional soldiers are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs
Murphy was a grunt

Apart from the cd-key with ofp (0=O, 1-l, 5=S..) maybe Riven. It was so strange and confusing. In turn a great great game. Having a team of ppl (friends/siblings) taking pages of notes and comparing them to uncover the mystery was very strange indeed. I don't really count those arcade games as i feel they didn't really push the brain as such.
