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

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

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!

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.

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)

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

Unless you have an Xbox, and NOT a 2,000 dollar PC...

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.

I thought the MG42 fired at 1200, and the MG3 had a slower ROF? EDIT: never mind, MG has about the same ROF as the MG42. Still not a heavy Machine gun though.

Isn't the MG42 lighter then the M60?

Maybe try Metallica, Megadeth, or Rammstein next time? When the game comes out, I'm gonna look for a Thompson SMG addon, and make a video with Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner as music. Â

Considering that the US Army has the M9 as the standard-issue pistol, this isn't likely to happen. I'm not even going to touch this part, since it's irrelevant due to my initial point. They picked the M9 because they wanted a 9mm sidearm to fit in with NATO standards, not because 9mm is a better round. Back in the 80's and 90's's (and today) the decision to retire the M1911A1 for the M9 was not universally held as the right choice. Even after the 1911 was officially replaced in US military service by the M9 in 85, the Marine Corp, some units in the army, and most Special Forces groups , (Marine Recon, and Delta Force come to mind) chose to retain the 1911. In fact, the new service pistol the US army is looking for has .45ACP as a requirement. Now that we know it's not a totally crazy idea to have US forces using the M1911, lets move on to how this effects the game. For one, I (and many other people) would just like to have an M1911 to use in the game. And second, gameplay wise the 1911 would hold less rounds in one mag then other pistols, like the M9, but it would do more damage, this would be a nice change, so players should at least have the choice to use the M1911A1, or MEU (SOC) pistol. That is my opinion anways, otherwise I'll have to download an addon for it.

Don't forget the Jets that can't be hurt by any kind of ground based Anti air weapons... And the pilots who think they're so great when they go 100-1... Oh, and don't even get me started on the insta proning machine gunners!

Whats a beach party without a fire, a .357 S&W and a few beer bottles?!

Instead of that dang Beretta M9, I want an M1911 pattern pistol, like an M1911 MEU (SOC) Or at least a standard gov issue M1911A1, hell any .45 is better then a 9mm! I know saying .45ACP is better then 9mm parabellum is like on this forum, but it's true.

Yeah, if EA got the North American ArmA licence, they'd just sit on it, to keep their cash cow (the BF series) from getting hurt.

I don't get this, we elected him as a conservative, but he ignores the constitution, and makes the government bigger! I got your Habeus corpes, right here! Second amendment freedom, effective against radar dishes, light armored vehicles, and tyrantical governments...

I don't want to sound nitpicky, and I applaud the effort, but the music really dosn't fit at all.
