Did they even have those types of laptops back in 1985? -G

I remember watching a 1950's B-movie with big bugs in it. A big bug mod should be made OFP, where the Americans and the Soviets are forced to work together to fight off an army of big bugs... now that would be fun! -G

They would be really old, wouldn't they? -G

Assuming, of course, that the cows and the chickens survived the OFP conflict! -G

I didn't really mean to pick on the voice... honest! Hopefully, the guy behind the voice continues to call that other soldier "Meathead" for years to come, including at his squad's yearly post-war reunions! -G

I wasn't insulted by it, just curious. Â But did they still say "Meathead" by 1985? Â Besides, couldn't "Meathead" insult him back by commenting on his voice? Â -G

Thanks for the help - my friends and I have been using Roger Wilco with other games for a while now, and it's nice to know that I won't have to stop using it for Operation Flashpoint! -G

I agree with both Cpt Gamer FtK and s_v in that both Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon are fun, but different, games.
