you guys kill me. the m21 is a modified m14 both use a 7.62 roundthe m21 has a slightly longer barrel and rifled to to match specifications for longer distances. both rifles are varients of the .30 cal. m1. there is a third version called an m24 that will fire in semi , burst and full auto. the m16 was designed from a ar15 both made by colt. the ar15 is shorter and only fired in semi. at the start of the vietnam conflict they introduced the m16a1 it had semi and full auto capability. the first version was a 7.62. it was rechambered to take the nato 5.56. after vietnam they came out with m16a2 which no longer had the full auto feature because of the amount of ammo the u.s. wasted. you can find out about all the weapons in this game from a several web sites around the net if you want/need to know. asking people in here may get you the right answer but most likely not. the m21 and drugunov have very accurate ranges with an expert sniper of 1500 meters or better with the right weather conditions( yes it makes a difference thats why you may have to compensate for longer ranges, you cant tweak the scopes in this game to account for distance and wind)

well thats what cadet mode is for. i havent had all the choppy play i have been hearing about i have been in some very large scale games the last few days and as long as all the players have reasonable pings its been rockin. coop is just as good i played the desert ambush earlier today with around 10 or 11 other people and it was awesome til some noobs started shooting too soon. but hey everyone has to learn from something and start somewhere.

i saw that site about 6 months ago. it is quite possibly the most abhorent thing i can imagine. they should be shut down locked up and fed to ravenous monkeys. christ i doubt any of the people who agreed to donate their bodys to science ever had any idea they would end up in someones grill. and you have to ask yourself this, if they are willing to sell human flesh for consumption are they using babies as veal? they need to be stopped somehow. but i have to ask exactly what does this have to do with this forum? it should be in the off topic forum.

that being the case you should definatley get a hold of the senders isp. it wont stop them but it can make life a little more difficult.

i checked some virus databases and havent found anything on this one you should try to contact the sender or his isp to make sure its a legit user. if hes for real he probably would reply and hopefully explain it. but virus's come out more often than most people change their minds.

been happening since day one for with the us version. never tried the demo multiplayer so i dont know if it happened then i can only imagine it did. it is related to lag , well actually i think it may be more likely packet loss. they are painfully aware of it from i have read so far and they feel it can and will be fixed by the next version upgrade. it does take much longer most of the time depending on how well the connection is running. i think that the flight glitch and not being able to board vehicles under laggy conditions are related.

has anyone heard anything about bis/cm fixing the chopper glitch in multiplayer? i really like being able to fly out to the enemy and rip them up, im getting tired of it blowing up in mid air for no reason. or am i the only it still happens to these days. i realize this question may have been asked an answered but there a re far too many threads in here for to be able to search them all down.

just reinstall the upgrade.

thanks suma , i will wander over there at some point. i have been waiting since doom was first playable thru a modem for a game with working vehicles. for the most part i am pretty happy with ofp's. once that is fixed it will make online gaming much more enjoyable.thanks again if there is anything i can do to help i will be glad to. i am a microsoft certified admin , and have helped on several games with the networking end such as quake team fortress mods and some others. i dont know if i would have much to add but its always worth having another pair of eyes.

the way i see it they are saying you have no right to defend your flag in anyway shape or form until it is taken. thats crap. if i had tripmines claymoresor any other form of command or remote detonated devices i will use them. the whole point is to cap the enemies flag and protect your own....at all cost save altering the game code to give you an unfair advantage. spawn raping is a little more sensitive issue. however if we look at this in a purely militaristic light ,it is every soldiers job to push the enemy back as far as possible right to his point of origin and then anihilate him. spawn rape amounts to using a blocking tactic to keep him from resupplying and reinforcing or moreover killing him at the source. that is why the usa is in afghanistan attempting to stop terrorism at the source(oh god please dont turn this into a political bash im just trying to prove a point) the real question is in the game is spawn/base rape fair? fair maybe but not always fun , well not for the victims anyway. when i play or host i try to get an idea of how everyone playing feels in that regard and let the majority rule. most people are willing to go with a vote and basically stick to it.

yeah i know its related to lag , i just want to know if they are going to try to fix it or if its one of those things thats beyond them.

hmmm have you put any of the addons in before you upped? i had used the beta's 1.27 and 1.29 and the weapons and had to remove them all first the reinstall and reupgrade.

i think youre all crazy. why would have to have 100 people to run a destroyer? this isnt real life all you really have to have is a gunner for the 16's if you really wanted you could have someone drive it.it doesnt have to have the same draft as a real destroyer. i would love to see the lst be u sable craft for assaults you should be able to load it up with a couple bradleys and some troops at the minimum.i do agree its asking for a bit to get all the things people want but if some of it could be made i think it would make the game even more popular. but i disagree that landing craft arent part of how an invasion would work. it would combine all elements air land and sea. the us army wouldnt hit a heavily defended beach without softening it up with artillery first and they wouldnt just para on to it. besides these are islands your fighting on you have to get there somehow ok sure you could transport by air but logistically tanks aint gonna swim over island to island they would sink like stones(which they do they aint bmps or m113s). and currently there is no way transport tanks via air. its hard enough trying to get 2 squads into a chinook let alone having a runway large enough for the aircraft they use to transport tanks.

70 players would be sweet , but you would need at least an oc12 to handle the thruput and bandwidth needed for that many people. the server would probably need to be at least a dual pIII with about a gig of ram per cpu. essentially you would need the equipment to run your own isp.

prez how familiar are you with win2k server? are you an admin? im a mcse and can help you with this but it helps you have some idea of the procedures i need you to go thru.(it will sound complicated but its not near as bad as it sounds) the problem with memory really isnt ofp its partly the way the server is set up and partly a problem microsft has with all its o/s's (Edited by unholy chosen one at 3:14 pm on Nov. 21, 2001)

it does work but i find the voice to very clugey. it seems to cause lag or at least slows up a bit. so far of all the games i have played with a von app built in ofps is the best but still needs a ton of work. i stick with wilco or teamsound.

what version are you using? i had that until i did a proper upgrade and its all gone now.

ofp doesnt seem to like my stick. i was similar problems with controling aircraft mainly planes. once i disabled the stick in the options i regained a very deadly control over all aircraft by using my mouse. my stick is older tho and that could be the problem , it just may be that its signals are attenuating or the pots are dusty. but it works very nice. as to the keys that control the aircraft i use page up and down for the throttle to get airborne or the w and e keys once im up. i didnt expect much from the flight portion of ofp as it is a combat sim not a flight sim. still works well enough as far as i am concerned.

mr.maniac is 800 x 600 the lowest resolution you can use? i have a geforce2 64m and i still can go as low as 640 x 480. i dont use it much unless i try to play a single player mission i created with a couple hundred troops.

hehehe deathsaw i had the exact same thing. go to the addons folder and remove everyhting in it. the reinstall the game so you are back to 1.20. then upgrade 1.30 it will work fine then and i think you will really like laser designator. its cooler than the 1.29 which looked like a law.

i get that too. if you go to an ammo crate and take ammo the only options in the menu relate to taking ammo etc.. you have to hit r for reload and then you can get the normal options like switching weapons or reloading.

ics will work with ofp if the first system connected to the internet is set up as a router. unfortunaley you have to be running nt/2k for that to happen. it works great for me i can have all my comps online and my friends playing at the same time. as for the registry it most assuredly can affect software behaviors. if you delete a program and it leaves anything behind its because the uninstall wasnt very well written. i am a network admin and run my own outsource support company. i spend far too much time having to clean registries after clients botched installs and upgrades.

rambo the only thing i didnt see you mention was editing the registry to remove any reference to opf. the registry doesnt always get cleared when you uninstall things. if you dont know how and arent sure what to look for dont try it see if you can find someone who can help you do it with you. otherwise its very possible you may have a bad disk or something.

its most likely related to to the 1.30 upgrade. xp will only limit a programs ability to make changes to the hardware. from your post this far it isnt a video problem, it could be memory allocation but it should generate a failure error with the address dump. try completly removing ofp then reinstall it and upgrade it. it may be a hassle but i think it will help pin the problem down.

tom i highly doubt(but couldnt guarantee) that ntfs has anything to do with it. i can tell you a lot about the o/s's but im not mission master i have found the editor to very unforgiving and somewhat unflexible with some things. i wish they had some premade scripts included with it as i really dont have the patients to try to figure scripting out. i dloaded the codes and its basically greek to me.
