Don't fret about the stock campaign, listen to ZiiiiP. Hell, once we missioneers get the jist of what to do with AA's editor - the BIS campaign will be irrelevant. I promise you that.

Hahahahhahaha! Nice crappy settings, Marco.

I think he wants the player to be able to carry 12 mortars. That could pose a problem, unless you make a "magazine" of mortars with count=12.

Seconded. Damn, I wish I could get over it.

Damn straight. I don't want this game for the campaign, even the island. I want it for the editing, the mods, the amazing work this community can pull off. I don't care for graphics that much, I can't wait to see AA: ECP or AA: FFUR (that would be NUTS!.

Back after your post ban, eh? The US Army isn't using the G36 as far as I know. They must be including it for depth, as it was in the last OFP.

Colonel Klink's aircraft shelters have bomb loading racks, a power thingy and maybe something else, I'm not too sure.

Don't worry, I didn't see a sweet shot of the F88 just now. See what?

2011? Then surely ALL US units should have ACU OTVs, seeing as the estimated date for getting them out to every US unit was 2008...

Nice stuff, mate.

You can't tell the difference? Heck, I thought I was colourblind. OK, try this: Now this: This may be hard, but if you look closely, you will notice a very slight difference in the colours of the armour vest in the two pictures. Seeing as the second picture is of what the US Army is currently wearing, it'd be safe to say that any units not wearing this are undersupplied. I really don't care either, seeing as there are only about 100 US guys on Sahrani - they wouldn't be high on the "first-units-to-get-ACU-list." I am simply saying that if it's not included in the release (highly likely), I'm going to be doing it almost immediately.

Neat - you could make the forest all misty and whatnot. Good idea!

Ukraineboy: observe: These people are certainly not all Generals. As much as I hate to say it, when it comes to OTV covers, I'm right.

12 missions? 12? Man, I have more fingers and toes than that! Ah well, guess any campaigns made well will be popular, then.

You make a great point. Perhaps she was rushed, or lazy, or whatever, but yeah, it seems like it's a pretty rushed and/or slack review. I've never cared about graphics that much anyway, and I find it a huge pity that the majority of publishers only care about eye candy, not gameplay. It seems the quick buck has taken precedence these days. <cough> BF2 <cough hack splutter> And hell, I think someone should post up the transformation of OFP's graphics quality wise over the last 5 or so years... from boxy ole crap to SJB weapons, RHS troops, ORCs tanks, BRG trees, all the new islands, DLEM's ACU, Llauma's heads to mention but a few... has any other game seen such a comparatively massive leap in graphical quality? I sincerely doubt it. -EDIT- Forgot DXDLL, Voron skies, NIM weather, INQ tanks, ORCs weapons, LSR PJs, BAS choppers, OWP choppers... ah, I give up.

<quiet whisper again> Totally agree! But one thing - please use the Barracken fences (w. barbed wire) on your bases! Thanks! <end quiet whisper>

Woah. <end spleen> Agree about the crap-ness of the new map. And it's good to see some people grumbling with me about the changing thingy. I'm fairly convinced I've got two main jobs when AA comes out. a) Fix those freakin' BDU vests with ACU ones. b) Create a kickass SINGLE player (no respawning, ta very much! campaign.

I've thought about it, and I agree. Would you prefer if I said "AA STILL PLATINUM!"

Will there be an ability to choose left or right handedness like in OFP:E? Cause I'm a southpaw/mollydooka/leftie.

Nothing. Give him time... I'm sure "he's" still out there.

Heh, I hope AA goes Platinum when it comes out. That would teach 'em. Someone should hack their website and plant a nice bit advert "AA GOES PLATINUM!" With some kind of small insult down the bottom.

I like the fact that it's based on the US Army too... I'm not so into the Marines (no disrespect meant). However, the OPFOR side will definitely get its side of the action, I'm certain. If not by BIS, then by RHS and ORCS (if they're still around). Can't wait to see my favourite Flora-clad lads runnin around.

I'm daunted, but when I get some time and bandwidth, I'm gonna give this one a go. I've been waiting for yonks!

Sounds like a good idea. Its implementation would be another matter, though - maybe BIS has beaten you to it? Only time will tell.

Yeah, I can autorotate too. When you take enough damage so that the rotors stop in midair, I press Z (as in decrease height) and my rotors keep turning (though if you let go, or try to go up, the rotors stop again). Once you touch the ground, the engine stops and never starts up again. Works beautifully, I might add - saved my skin in many situations.
