Didn't they recently pull off one of the last few successful bayonet charges in Iraq?

Father, not sure what year. I think some time in 1991 before he graduated from RMC.

I purchased The Beast yesterday, the one about the tank crew lost in Afghanistan. I thought it was cool film. But I question the probability of the whole 'team up' with the main character.

Not to mention the SAMs in the map. It's hard to be a helicopter with  three of those things on your arse. Once I tried to climb up the tall crane and shoot at choppers and planes from the top. You must be damn lucky. Still I succeeded once. Being a successful sniper on the crane isnt that easy either! I'm talking about the SAM sites on the ground. It's hard to shake em off once they have a tone. People've been realizing now that all you need to do is shoot the first missile, wait for the copter's flares to die off and shot the second before the copper can get a second set of flares going. It works well when there's another SAM on him too. As for using the shoulder rocket, ugh. Too slow for me to use on anything but tanks and APC's. Jeeps and trucks if they're at a good distance. I'm overall confused about the sniper rifles. I'm not sure if there's a sway. If there is, I wish they'd show it in the scope because it's perfectly still while my shots are smacking the wall to the guys left.

Not to mention the SAMs in the map. It's hard to be a helicopter with  three of those things on your arse. Ok, where in this entire thread did someone compare? I see this in nearly every Anti-BF post, but I have yet to see someone directly (or really even indirectly) relate BF2 to OFP.

I find it enjoyable. Gameplay is something I'll look for in other games. Realism is something I love, but in some cases the escape is quite often a refreshing thing. OFP, however, is still the god of my computer. No game has ever stayed so long and so often used as OFP. It is the first game on my computer, and the last that will ever come off.

I was wondering where those news ones to my left came from.

Bah, my computer is too slow to go past anything but 20.

SF, you'll find your stay on the BIForums alot more pleasent if you don't try to provoke other members into going into an off topic discussion, provoking them such as now, and not becoming a nuisance for moderators.

I actually made a rifle, the French one for Vietnam. Worked out OK, it was a first try so I wasn't displeased. I did some more work, did a little texturing, did some config work for both add ons and missions, but never really got into any of it. Wasn't that interesting to me.

I've heard the phrases "Out soon!", "Release immiment!", "Very soon!" many times, and I've really just ignored it. I know it takes alot of work. I've made a few of my own, messed around with configs, and worked with some texturing. I never really got interested with it, and I can sympathize for the add on makers who sometimes have to spend weeks on a single texture. But sometimes I hardly feel like waiting or bothering to question the release dates of a mod, because I know it'll always be the same response. "Soon", which sometimes spans the timeframe of a year, or "When its done", which leaves me not caring anymore. There are cases where I wished for a single addon, like a soldier and his guns, but have to wait for the mod team to finish a huge list of other things to do, and when they finally complete they go back to improve the old finished stuff. Understandable, you want top quality. My suggestion to people is to ignore a mods development. Cool, pictures and stuff, but don't stick around looking at em for a long time. Don't anticipate the release, make it a surprise instead. Don't sit there anticipating the game itself, memorizing the add on list and the special features, it'll only just diminish its quality once it's in your hands. Don't expect too much because you'll just get dissapointed. Not saying that mods are aiming to dissapoint or to ignore a mod completly, but simply don't think too much about it. I44 looks awsome, so does the Vietnam one. But don't just think about it all the time. I don't know if my message is clear enough. I'll try again. Don't wait. Instead, let the mod come out as a surprise to you. The add on makers spend a huge amount of blood, sweat, tears, and cash to make these mods complete. Sure, it's a drag to have to wait for something to come out, but if you sit and wait for it, it'll take longer. Anticipation and expectations are what really kills games these days, and it's not really different from mods. When Doom3 was coming out, people expected so much more because they anticipated so much more. I glanced at Doom 3 now and then until it came out, and the game was awsome for me but lacking for those who'd been waiting four years for it. Is this clear? I dunno, my ability to write lately has been diminished.

Holy wingnuts. Juno! Ortona! Great! Sounds almost too good to be true.

No, there's one being made. It's called project reality.

Great news, I'll do this tomarrow. Brother will be happy to hear this. He hated it when he found out the limitations they put on SP and COOP.

doesnt work  I'm guessing those rem notes were for the full version, but I also suspect that a few other files and folders have to be tweaked to do it. I didn't have a chance today as power was out for four hours.

I suck at the whole coding thing, but it looks entirely possible. I've looked at other .ai files and there is coding for bots to fly, swim, boat, truck, jeep, tank, etc. But it's a bit more complicated it seems. I'm looking at the map files now, it seems that I'll have to somehow jam 16 bots on each side into a spawn area the size of a pond. So it'd take some messing with the map files itself. I dunno. I'll just give it a shot.

I was curious as to see what else I can 'fix' in the game, seeing as everyone was releasing messages on how to get past timer, etc. But I also found a way to get past only 15 bots. In fact, the file itself gives you the explanation. This is in the AI folder in Bf2 Look at aidefault.ai (used wordpad to open it up) echo ***************************************************************************************** echo AIDefault.ai **************************************************************************** echo ***************************************************************************************** aiSettings.setNSides 2 aiSettings.setAutoSpawnBots 1 aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64 aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 1 aiSettings.setBotSkill 0.4 rem To spawn more than 15 bots in SP, use the following lines instead of the three lines above. rem Note that this is totaly unsupported, it will affect your system's performance rem and may even crash your game. That being said, you will most likely be able to run a lot rem more bots than 15 on your system. rem Example for 32 bot game with expert bots rem aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1 rem aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32 rem aiSettings.maxBotsIncludeHumans 0 rem aiSettings.setBotSkill 1.0 run BotNames.ai aiSettings.setInformationGridDimension 32 run AIPathFinding.ai rem EOF ==== Havn't tested this myself yet.

And if anyone wants to play a limited coop, you can join a single player game through IP. Just have someone start SP, remember to record the IP address. Go the Internet Games, and use the connect through IP. Just type in the IP address and you'll be brought into the SP game. Works very well, no problems. I did this earlier with my older brother.

My biggest gripe is that it's a conquest mode, but who wins is dependent on how many tickets are left. The team could be controlling the entire country side and still lose because the USMC won't get off their carrier.

LOL. when I read this in the gamespot review I laughted  That's hilarious. I never held Gamespot high in regards, but that alone just underlines the stupidity.

Game is coming out on the final day of school, good thing for me. That is, if it hasn't changed from the 27th. Any less and then it is exams. It'd make a good gift to buy myself for getting a job and going to school. I am sure to be passing with 80+ in all of my classes. Ah, no more high school.

I've seen birds, but they're hard to see. I really only see em if a soldier is walking through a grassy spot or a gunshot goes off near one. It's hard to find em. Only seen em when they fly off though.

I am overall surprised as to how well the demo ran. I'm probobly going to tweak some settings on my comp to get a better looking game. Otherwise, default is all on Low.
