  1. yes but if they dont what happens?   wink_o.gif

    nothing. We'll just leave them alone. You have to remember that if the worlds only superpower offers help to a nation that is needing help... I'm sure they will not say no. In retrospect, its their loss if they do.

    What do you think would happen if.. say a certain group of oil-rich countries decided to stop selling oil to the US?


  2. I think comparing the USA to any of the previous empires shouldn't be based on any concrete similarities between specific actions. We should rather concentrate on how the USA's unique position in the world compares to those of empires gone by. To clarify: just because the USA hasn't conquered an entire continent (like Rome did) doesn't mean the comparison is invalid.

    Lets review one MAJOR flaw to the "American Empire"

    All nations perceived within the American influence is a sovereign  nation, and has the lawful ability to resist American laws, and policies. All nations which has signed treaties with the United States has the lawful ability to terminate these treaties whenever they feel necessary

    EDIT: Now that I think of it, latin america is pretty ugly counter-example.


  3. hey,what about Estonia ?

    when i'll be able to play ArmA?

    As I've told several people from the Baltic States already, Akella will most likely publish it in your country, so you will get it on the same day as the Russkies...  wink_o.gif

    If thats indeed the case I just might have been given an extra reason to have a trip down south apart from cheap booze.. yay.gif


  4. Just bought the game - It's on two two DVD discs... And unfortunatley for some it says on the back that it needs an SSE2 capable processor to run, didn't they say that was going to change in the final product? confused_o.gif

    The newer demo runs without one, should work fine in retail. Though they officially support SSE2 only if I am not mistaken.


  5. I'm quite sure this will be the best game ever released on PC.

    Oh how they fall.. yay.gif

    So you expect that ArmA will be a pile of poo?

    Its an upgraded version of OFP, i dont see how it could be bad? wink_o.gif

    Well, making that kind of blanket statements without having any real good contact with the game is surefire way to invite mr. murphy. wink_o.gif


  6. Or maybe it just sucks? yay.gif

    Possibly ... but why?

    I mean OFP/OFP:E didn't suck and Arma is an updated version of them, so what could BIS do to make Arma suck so badly? Especially when all the features, screenshots and videos we've seen suggest it should be so much better? crazy_o.gif

    Same old same old...

    Guys..

    Does anyone expect Armed Assault to get high scores/ratings in mainstream gaming sites? It wont, it wont get the perfect 9.0's of Doom3, half life2, GRAW, Far Cry, BF, etc... even if it delivers many features that so called next generation games dont event scratch.

    Lets also not forget that a big label behind a game equals a big media kiss in the ass whistle.gif .

    Maybe the game is a little rough, it was developed quite fast so its possible but we know BIS will support it, im far from worried.

    Well.. the original ofp did pretty well in the mainstream press in case you forgot. wink_o.gif


  7. Let's hope this will turn America away from being the religious rightwing extreme country it is.

    Thank god the Democrats! They are going free this country from religious zealots ruling this country. Hmm, I didn't know that a Christian Taliban was in control.

    Well.. since apparently having a single former member of NoI in the lower chamber is akin to a nazi takeover.. tounge2.gif


  8. As you know there are 435 members in the United States House of Representatives. Among them ONE muslim was chosen this year and this is the hysterically funny (yet scary) reaction of the members of an extreme right-wing website free republic:

    CAIR endorsed guy. That should be enough to make anyone afraid of him. And then there's the whole thing with him being a former member of the Nation of Islam.

    Feel stupid now?

    Damnit, youre right. Better get the ammunition, the muslims are coming!

    Some choice quotes:

    Quote[/b] ]

    As I said on a previous thread...I feels as if I am watching 9-11 again on my TV. Watching America be attacked from within and I am helpless watching.

    America...what have you done?

    Quote[/b] ]

    Getting ready to go out & buy my burka. I knew it, next we'll have Barrack Hussein O'bama as Prez. This is what the liberals want.

    Quote[/b] ]

    Oh, you are right, the enemy is within, Bush knows it, we know it.

    Quote[/b] ]

    Exactly how the Nazi party took over Germany.

    A certain religious group is said to be covertly taking over the goverment.. now where have I heard that one before.. wink_o.gif


  10. I think it has been stated several times that there will be no enterable buildings.

    Um.. I'm pretty sure they said it would be a mix of non-enterable and enterable buildings.

    Quite possible, my memory is often quite sub-par. wink_o.gif

    Though I must admit being a little sceptical since I have not seen any screenshots of enterable buildings.


  11. Ok while I share your enthusiasm about the recent videos and would probably mention all the positive developments had you not already beaten me to post I would like to raise the most worrying aspect:

    Where are all the ENTERABLE buildings?

    If ArmedAssault is a true successor to Operation Flashpoint or even OPF 1.5 it should have at least 1.5x the numer of enterable buildings.Yet all I see are dull uninspiring low poly buildings in the big cities.Has such a big sacrifice been made for the game to be CPU-friendly?Because this is seriously not a sacrifice worth taking.I hope I my worries are for nothing and that this buildings are place holders before it reaches gold status.

    Other then the hotel can anyone report any other type of enterable buildings already included in the latest build?

    I think it has been stated several times that there will be no enterable buildings.


  12. Nice page, need to get rid of some games for PSP. Would love to trade for some classics i lost during time.

    Hopefully it´s for europeans too.

    US only apparently.


  13. Let's just say that I do not envy the voters of virginia. tounge2.gif

    If some average 15-year-old can easily get his hands on drugs id say it's not much of an effort for a totalitarian leader to get a speedboat loaded with legimate goodies. Bet he laughed his ass off when he saw the UN response to this.
