Espectro (DayZ)

First of all I will be the first one to admit that if ArmA was set in the WWII era, or earlier, then a knife handling feature would be useful. However ArmA is set in the present day, and as such, has to reflect the reality of modern combat. I would much rather have BIS work on implementing thermal imaging or weapon mounted night vision (which plays an important role on a modern battlefield), than the archaic knife fighting. As for your comments on "Close Combat" they are all over the place. I don't see why you would think that I've been living under the rock for the past 5 years. Are you saying that there has been a recent revival of knife combat? In fact, close quarters battle training is extremely important for modern soldiers. However, this training includes room-clearing clearing drills and such, not knife/bayonet fighting. I am sure that you can find singular cases of soldiers fighting their enemies with helmets, shovels, or even their teeth. It's just that they are statistically irrelevant, as they happen very, very rarely. Peace, DreDay As stated earlier - not long ago the brittish used bayonets in Iraq. On the other hand... When I play OFP, I prefer picking off the targets on distance, trying to secure most of a city before entering it. Knives wouldn't add much to the gameplay for me... But it would probably for others. If I run out of ammo, I use my pistol - if I dont have any - I hide/run

I liked many of your ideas, but i dont think this one is good: I think this would be the same as having two keys for running.. one for left leg, and one for right. Old C64 Olympic games, any1?

We were also instructed to use riflebutts in CQB - not that any of us wanted to use it in real-life. Especially after the danish army is using the Canadian M16 - I fear it will just break on impact

Not quite. [img.]http://www.chambersgunmakers.co.uk/Silencer,Targets%20artwork/Parker-Hale%20silencer.gif[/img] And that's why. Actually - A silencer isn't silent at all when you are near where the bullet exits the weapon. Simply because of the supersonic SLAM that occurs. Nearby there isnt actually much difference between using a modern day rifle withou silencer, and with silencer

It gotta be Starwars Nah, really... It must be th following: BoB, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Top Gun (not really a war movie, but what the heck).

I think it would be a great addition to the game. I remember a CTF back on Everon. My squad-leader at the time, Jones, made this one. There was a civilian truck going from both sides just cycling. If you were lucky, u could jump in the back of this truck, and eject safely at the enemy camp. Very cool, indeed. Would love to see something like this in game with AI.

A bomb dropped by an aircraft has a bigger blastradius then a chestrig, and also runs a risk of missing it's target, no matter how advanced it is, where as most suicide bombers activate their explosives when they are exactly in place. Bigger weapons do more damage, both intended and accidental. You got to be kidding?!?! What an uncivilised way of looking at the world and the lives of these poor people. Very sad indeed

Its allready posted, mate

Not long ago, brittish troops were infact mounting the knives on their rifles - and used them as well... Were that in Afghanistan?

Its not showing up right in firefox.

Really, I couldn't care less if they bash the graphics in those previews. First of all, graphics aint my first choise (if it was, I would never have started playing OFP). Second, I think this department of the game is really shaping up. All these previews are from the E3 alpha - but just look at some of the latest screenshots released by BIS. It's a major improvement.

It's not the same URL... Maybe you accidently edited it?

True that It is simply ruining the sport

I stopped playing Counterstrike back in beta 3 (1999 I think it was)... After that it just went boring

Cheers mate, now don't get shot

It's not cheating. It's simply hardware to make your gaming experience more real. Sure it might give you an advantage. But that would a joystick, expensive mouse, new graphics card and a large screen as well.. Should we all have the same hardware to call it fair gaming?

One advice, don't use frames, use tables and includes. It makes the website alot better index-wise (search engines etc.). And as a personal thing, I vote for tables as well. If you DO go ahead and use frames though, one way to do it, is to have a meta-refresh set to "0" on every page that loads the new menu.html in your menu-frame (target="menu" or whatever it's called). Cheers

Dude, are you drunk ?

Dude, it's only been 14 months since the announced Armed Assault :/

Is it this article (scanned): http://www.armedassault.eu/news.php?readmore=145

Who, the US?

Hey lads So what do you guys think about AMD buying ATI? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060724/ap_on_hi_te/amd_acquisition_1 I am an AMD and Nvidia fan, so I wonder what this will influence on me in the future concerning how compatible they will be.

Nope, I was wrong. It was a danish submarine from 1963. But I guess the equitment on board wasn't much more advanced than that of a german u-boat from wwii.
