CsonkaPityu - I agree, although it may have been possible for the North to get their hands on some Coyote Brown specimens of the IBA. Who knows? I'd like to see the North wearing some Russian gear, myself, but I'm sure we'll have Federation troops crawling all over the island soon enough anyway, if RHS and ORCS have their way.

Yeah, I agree. Thought the interview was quite good, also. I'm itching to try out the new helicopter fly mode, I used to think of myself as an OFP chopper pro, judging from the amount of aerial pickups I used to do when LANning it up with my cousin. This new system sounds like more of a challenge.

Dav1D, you're well up and over the recommended specs, so I'd rest easy on that front. Except maybe the processor... but have you ever tried overclocking? What motherboard are you using? I have found it easy to squeeze at least an extra 300+MHz from a P4 relatively simple in the past. Not sure about the newest Conroes, though. I should like to get my hands on one once I grab a new GFX card.

Heck, I'm Australian and I agree with UkraineBoy. And if Seventh makes an appearance, I think I'll don earmuffs. They had some nice tunes, but the guy singing really ruined everything.

If any of my troops started shouting that out aloud I'd shoot them in the head. That's the kind of message you only broadcast over a radio net, anyway. And yeah, it'd ruin custom missions, like how my old ECP DSAI extension would cause people to shout "grenade!" even when they were in safe mode. Â

This will get locked - you should have asked Placebo via PM. I'd have thought it's because they're too busy working on their next line of games.

Certainly, but I hope that there will be different models (or at least different web loadouts) for infantry (eg, rifleman versus grenadier, automatic rifleman, squad leader, team leader, RTO, etc). I seem to remember seeing some M203 grenade pouches on a grenadier in one of the GC videos, pouches that weren't present on a normal stock infantryman, so maybe my hopes aren't as forlorn as I think.

Yeah, I do that too - I make a 1024x1024 base texture and pare bits off as I need them for different parts of the model.

That's uber, mate. Great idea!

J W's computer must be powered by a mouse running around in a wheel inside it, it's so old.

Those are nice! Good job, y'all. I like your skills. Any tips for making those uber folds you've got going?

Spoilers? I don't understand how "spoilers" could be applied to a game not even released. Talking about plot elements of the campaign would be a spoiler; how can talking about the game's consituent elements be a spoiler? Can't advertising any novel features therefore be one big spoiler, in this case? "Oh no, I wanted multiple gunner positions to be a surprise." Pffft. I would have expected this to whet the community's appetite, not to piss them off by apparently spoiling the "surprise."

Pity the Legionnaires didn't get him - what a trophy he would make. Typhoid?

I say bugger a 6600, go at least 7th generation, if you have the money.

Interesting. I was searching around for some nice fold PSDs at GhostRecon.net and found these. Did you get your ACU textures from WP33's Ghost Recon ACU pack? Namely, check out the IBA and pocket textures on these... \ As compared to yours, True?

Bloody oath - the number of times I've left a 20 in the wash... /offtopic.

As for changing the heads, I'm fairly convinced it's not hard to do, but, as afore mentioned, I'm really not the man to be doing it.

I thought it was obvious that Armed Assault uses a vastly improved OFP engine. No?

You can put me down as an ultra-realistic-nutcase map maker. I can't stand making fun maps, when I could bore the player to death with a photo realistic 15 page briefing.

See where you're coming from, but I think something is better than nothing. Though I understand that a few of the features may not be shown off that well, but the 1st person stuff is what the game will look and play like (despite the poor quality of the videos, cough) from the infantry's view, at least. I'd like to see a tank or chopper video, myself. An extended one.

Yeah. I really don't mind as long as I have it, and there are people willing to download the missions I make and the addons I... tweak/borrow/don't model.

You have my deepest sympathies. I once had a 6600TD, which is even worse than yours.

Someone could always make a poll in the offtopic thread...

Ah mate, that's a lot of systems... it's a pity none of them are fully uber, but at least you'll have a ton of spare parts.

If the ACU looks anything like it did on the first page (no offence, but it sucked bigtime), I'd stick with choc chip desert, mate. Leave ACU alone for now, eh. Your choc-chip however, is 1st class. The base model looks quite solid, I think, but you'll need some dirt on those guys, since they look rather GI-Joe'ish.
