ha! i bought the original Flashpoint in Germany too i cherished my OFP copy in it's DVD box until i learned the detriment of DVD boxes, it cracked the CD ! ( probably just rough handling ) well, 5 years later i still have the original manual (EDIT) wow i can't believe i've been registered to this forum since Oct 2001 long live Flashpoint!

duly noted

yeah, in ideal conditions the rifle would fire straight as an arrow but sand in the muzzle because you dropped your rifle, couple shots off target quality control messed up in the ammunition factory, bullets aren't perfectly shaped you dove into cover and landed on your rifle, bending it ever so slightly you haven't alinged your sights correctly and don't notice. etc. as you can imagine, there's lots of conditions on a battlefield that could affect the accuracy of the weapon so that it isn't going to shoot exactly where the sights ( not the barrel, the sights could also get knocked around... ) are pointed at.

BMP2 is much smaller than the bradely a shilka, gepard etc. would have a field day with helicopters, turn off the search radar and use the 30mm cannons to swat the helos away like flies.

your squad takes prisoners, prisoners go back to batt. HQ, who then send them back to div. HQ for interrogation and processing. this would make for some interesting gameplay say, in a dynamic campaign, you attack enemy div. HQ in a suprise raid ( breakthrough? who knows... ) and knock out comms

it'd be nice to have a full simulator aspect for each 'branch' ( infantry, aircraft, vehicles and ships )

i don't think it would make for much of a video game, as the insurgents don't follow any normal order of battle. They are unorganized and they rely on sniper attacks, mortar attacks, ambushes and suicide bombers to create casualties. that would make for a terrible video game.

64bit support is like MMX was a few years back, long transitional period, but eventually everything will use it. So i say upgrade to 64 bit.

people might be suprised by the fact that the guy in the back was able to shoot his AUG with 100% accuracy, but guess what, the door gunner on a Mi-8 is able to do the same in OFP. pintle mount doesn't absorb much recoil, i'd imagine the gun would bounce around alot, inaddition to the whole aircraft stuttering from the rotors.

never mind

Lots of misinformation in this thread Panzershreck was first used in February 1943 Panzerfaust 30 was first used in August 1943, the later subsequent models Panzerfaust 60 and 100 were deployed in September 1944 The first T-34/85 appeared in late 1943

only bad experience I had with Steam buying HL2 online was it took forever to finish downloading it.

yeah OFP:R demonstrated a system of terrain resolution change ( very low to very high )

measly dollars? i bet you if your family were starving you'd go to any length to subsist. that's exactly what those people are doing. until Brazil gives them an incentive to stop their ways ( like giving them food ) they'll continue.

Persian Gulf Escalation

lol RTS3 might have some bigger games , longer ones too.

HOLY SHIT! AA has join in progress so screw OFP1 dammit

uh, if you fire a SAW like that, it would just be really hard to control. it fires 5.56, weighs more than an M16 so by your logic an M16 should send a soldier through a wall.

Armed Assault 2?

how about BIS calls it OFP2 just OFP2, only those four letters

headshots IRL don't end up in instant death because of all the variables involved but of course everyone must realise the people who have survived were incapacitated and in game terms that's just as good as dead.

it might

it decreases the immediate load on your GPU your CPU must, however, track every change on the island ( X building was blown up by Y helicopter ) and the positions of each unit. i think at least.

join in progress multiplayer!
