    Arma Red vs Blue

    Why does everyon always use downloads, and never upload to youtube, or another streaming site?

    Confirmed release dates and countries.

    If they don't have one for USA yet, it doesn't look good for Argentina.

    Resistance side In ArmA

    Nice one breathern. You from the US? Typical US Answer, obviously you missed the minor fact that our ARMY IS BETTER THAN THE US PIECE OF CRAP. Just when I was gonna come and side with you, and defend Australia's Military, you go and bash the US army, so never mind, bash away!

    Deployable HMGs?

    The M14 never really lived up to expectations, it was to heavy to replace a carbine, or SMG, and could only be accurately shot in Semi auto, the only weapon it truly replaced was the M1 Garand.

    OK, fair enough, I don't have any ArmA footage to use, but here is a crapy video of my own.

    Deployable HMGs?

    I would actually try that, but due to government restrictions full auto MG42's cost 40,000 dollars here. $40000 huh?  I was at an airshow a couple of years back and this guys had four MG42s.  And a Panzershrek, and a bunch of other stuff.  But four of em... can you imagine! He told me what he paid for them back in the sixties, which I don't recall now, but it was a small fraction of what he claimed they were worth on that day in 2004.  Sure looks like he had his investment scheme down. He also mentioned how they have to get post-production rounds to shoot them at re-enactments, which are extremely expensive (cause the original rounds are so old they can't be trusted).  Not to mention they rip through them at 1200 rounds per sec... sure sounds like fun though. OK, me back OT now...  OH sure, civie legal NFA machineguns were A LOT less expensive back in the 60's, or even the 80's. Reason being a change in gun laws back in 1986. I'll give you  the short version... The National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) put restrictions on weapons, like bombs, machineguns, and short barreled rifles etc. Basically you can buy an NFA machine gun, but you have to pay a $200 tax stamp, and  do background checks and paperwork for months, before you get to take possession of it. But in 1986, they stopped accepting tax stamps on new machineguns, so all the NFA machines guns civilians can legally buy now, were registered before the 90's, all machineguns made after 86 can only be sold to Government agencies. So an MG42's cost 40K, at least partly because it's a fixed commodity. A better example is the price of an MP5, a civilian legal NFA MP5, registered on, or before 1986 cost $18,000, but a new one just like it, cost  gov agencies $1,500!

    I saw another video someone on this forum made, and I thought the music in that was bad, but this, this is like what Blackhawk Down would have been like, if it was a Village People video! if I see someone else post another vid like this, I'm gonna start thinking all Europeans have bad taste in music.

    The FNH mag is my favorite medium machinegun, it's funny how we replaced the BAR with the M60, only to replace the M60 with the M240, which is based off of the basic BAR design. Not bad for a a gun JMB designed in a only a few months, during the first World War. ^ best gun designer in human history.

    I know what you mean, the community is half the reason I liked Rainbow/Ghost recon more then Halo2. In my experience, Most of the people you meet in Halo, are immature, unsupervised kids, who it's difficult to even have a polite conversation with, the people you meet while playing Rainbow six, or Ghost Recon on the other hand, are usually polite and helpful. You can have intelligent conversations about history, politics, firearms, military vehicles, or the geopolitical situation in the middle east. I still remember when I played Rainbow six, for the first time on XBOX live, I never played rainbow six on PC, so I had no idea what to do. when I got into the lobby there was a huge list of weapons, That I recognized, and knew what calliber they were, and what basic features they had, but it was still a game that I have never played, so I asked the guys in the room: "what is the best rifle for a new player?" I ended up getting into the age old AKM vs M16 debate, in a video game lobby! I knew right then and there, that this was the kind of game for me! Now the best I ever got from the CS, or Halo crowd, was "laser sword pwns!" and the most irritating "Deagle is teh b3st pistolz!11)

    What do you *HOPE* will be in ArmA?

    Why is there a French tank and aircraft carrier on that list?

    I didn't like GR IT at all, I really liked GR2 though, that was the best game for XBOX LIVE IMHO,got so many free weapons, skines, and maps, even better then Halo2.
