CounterForce

Though I am not so sure about that, I doubt that anybody would ever know, if this mod leaves OFP and allowes public downloads. btw: What is the use of this addon? You can't include it in any mission available for public, because once the download from Team Yankee is impossible nobody will be able to play your mission. Just another screenshot addon? Don't think so, because you would make the addon (at least portions of it - how it looks like) available to public, if you publish your screenshot. And this is not allowed as quoted in the email sent by Team Yankee. Can you use this addon for anything without breaking the license? About the copyright issues: I won't comment on the fact, that this "license" is hidden somewhere in the download and the very rude emails sent to the newssites which did not want to break any copyright. But I have my doubts that this license is really legal. If I remember the german law correctly (and Team Yankee seems to be German), a license must be accepted by the user. The users didnot even read the license before uploading it to the mirrors - how can team yankee believe that the license was accepted and therefore legal? Team Yankee has the make sure, the user knows the license. If they wanted to make sure that this license is worth anything, why not to publish the addon with an installer? Usually you have to accept a license if you want to install something. Just some kids who want to act like professionals?

I'm happy with AF There are still some bugs and issues but they are adressed and hopefully will be fixed. The biggest improvement is that there are no mods. Modders will never have a full overview of the game's source code and therefore will add bugs etc. to the game. There may be some improvement by mods, but in the very long time of free mods no combination was ever as stable as AF is at the moment. I don't need eye candy if I can play online without installing the game four times with differnent mods and setup which all will result in some CTD. Stability is the most important thing, and AF runs better than ever before.

I noticed that I was bleeding in game while not beeing injured but I never noticed this bug

do you really believe that?

That's late 19th early 20th century thinking. Take a look at Europe - market economy (i.e capitalism) combined with a strong social agenda. Works very well. Are you serious? Well, if you are, you would have liked Germany around 1939. Tell me a country in Europe with a working market economy combined with a strong social system! From my own experience in Germany I can tell you this system is NOT working. The stronger the social aspect is, the weaker the economy will be. 30 years ago there have not been that much social aspects is the system and it worked great. Today we are happy if our economy would grow at least 0.5 percent a year. Our government keeps telling us, it will, but they have been doing this for years. But in the last 12 years more and more social aspects have been added and more and more people got unemployed, the economy is much weaker than it was and the social system is about to crash because of the weak economy. Capitalism doesnot work if it is combined to a social agenda, it never did. And a social agenda alone is not possible either. Look at the GDR Look at France. It is not working much better there. __ You seem to be bad informed about Germany in 1939 According to Hilter, the worst thing was not communism or something like that. The thing to destroy and the ones to kill were those who had a different race than the "good" German (Aryan). Because of that he went after the Jews and because of that he hated (and a lot of Germans did too, some still do today) the Russians. Of course, he hated the communism too and he thought it would be a great danger and therefore communism was forbidden.

What about the Middle east if they plan on sending Peacekeepers maybe one day here to you know either Iraq or israel/Palestine whos military command would it be in? Dont tell me its the US or Israel I don't think the UN will even decide to sent "peacekeepers" to the middle East because it would not be in the interest of many contries of the UN.

The greek position is only based on stupid nationalism. And the reasons they give make me laughing. denoir has written enough on this topic. I totally agree with him

In my opinion, there are a couple of problems in the UN: 1: There are too many people involved in decisions. Therefore it takes too long to make decisions. Because of so many countries being part of the UN there are a lot of people who have different opinions. Sometimes it takes several days until all member states have spoken about how they want the others to decide. And it will take even longer until most agree on a specific decision. In the most cases none of the member states gets exactly what they wanted. To make them all agree on a decision you will have to dilute the claims of all member states. What is decided now is a compromise and not a strong position. 2: The UN has no power. It can decide something, but what will happen, if a country or a coalition of contries don't care about what the UN says? There might be a resolution, but what if noone cares about this either? The economic consequences are not too bad. You will always find somebody to deal with, regardless what the UN says. Maybe it will be harder, but not impossible. And what if you are needed by the UN? You can do whatever you want. The best example in the past years is the war in Iraq. The US/UK coalition was able to invade Iraq and nothing happened. There were a lot of anrgy people in the UN, but nothing else. And if the UN manages to give a mandate, the "UN Forces" won't be too dangerous because they won't get a full combat mandate, but they will be some kind of peacekeapers who don't really care about what is going on, and if they care, it is days too late because decisions take a lot of time. There are other problems like bureaucracy which are really bad too.

I voted for seperate threads because I think it would be too much to discuss US and European politics in one thread. It is better to have seperate threads because discussing all in one thread will lead in complete chaos

first: A lot of people, even the German BND (intelligence service) did say that Saddam may have weapons of mass destruction and if not he was surely trying to get some. It was said that Saddam has mobile labs etc. Still today it is not sure if he really had none. So I don't think Bush was liying. I think he believe that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. And a lot of others did think so. I think Bush did not the slightest thing wrong (perhaps the plan for after war Iraq was too optimistic, but who was really able to say what would happen after the war?) so what should he admit? Furthermore he was elected not only for moral values. And those who elected im for moral values did so because of his faith and his position on homosexual marriage, abortion etc. And because they had reasons to believe he was better for the USA. puke if you want But remember that those who voted Bush had their reasons Even if you don't know this reasons, or can#t understand these.

Church and state are seperated in Germany (at least if you don't pay church taxes), this is correct and I never said they are not. But I know there have been trails because of people saying that homosexuality is a sin! This doesnot happen very often and if you only say it in your church it might not happen, but it has happened before and it will happen in the future because there will always be people who don't accecpt homosexual marriage and say that. First: Please READ what I have written.I did not write: Only few terrorist fight against the US..... If there were fighting the US they would bomb only the US, not mostly iraqi instiutions standing for the new democracy and freedom. What is incorrect if I say that life in Iraq goes on as normal in Iraq at the moment for most people. This is what is happening there. Of course the situation in Iraq is not stable in some regions at the moment because of daily terror acts, but it is still better that Saddam being in power.

Here in Germany everything about Bush is said to be negative. I don't know a single person in Germany who believes that Bush is the better possiblity for America and the World. Some just hate America alltogether, because it is America, or they hate Bush because of the war in Iraq or because he believes in Jesus Christ or because of any other reason. Nobody says that Bush did at least one good thing in the past 4 years. Some people (inculding some shows on TV) say Bush is not able to read. And there are a lot of other "funny" things you hear about the USA if you speak with young people in Germany. But I don't think like that. I support Bush because he believes in the same values (NO to homosexual marriage etc.) as I do. And I am happy that there are politicans who dare to support such values. Here in Germany you might be fined if you say that homosexuality is a sin in public. Furthermore Bush is the better President for the US economy. Bush made it possibile that there are free elections in Afg. and I am sure there will be free elections in Iraq too. I think the Iraq War was not bad. Saddam was a danger to the world and he killed a lot of people useing weapons of mass destruction. Perhaps he had no weapons of mass destruction left when the war started, but I am sure the world is much safer with Saddam being in prison and having to pay for what he did. The situation in Iraq today is not the best of course but it is better than Saddam being in power. Today people have their own opinions and can say this in public. And the situation is not as dangerous than you might think first seeing the pictures of dayly attacks in TV. What TV does not show is that for most live goes on normal. There are only a few terrorist who fight against the new freedom in Iraq.

I think it depends on the situation. In a COOP it is not necessary. You are not a Soldier who is alone somewhere in the battlefield but part of a team. And so, you should not feel empty. Work together with the other team mates. You will see it is more fun than being a Ubersoldier. I don't like unrealistic missions either, so I totally agree with your friend.

I think Telekom is the best solution Of course there are ISPs which are much cheaper, but Telekom doesnot block any ports and you usually have good ping times regardless where you live and how many other people in your area have DSL. And 1024/128 is more than needed for playing OFP
