    Finnish Defence Forces Modification 1.3

    The AI always pull their chutes open too late for me, just before they splash into the sea. Also, it seems like there are some problems with using HALO men in hosted MP, things like everyone except the host dying mid-air or being without parachute... @[Ash]: 2 satchels should do it if you place them between a pair of support pillars?

    Anti- English

    Yes I remember. What did that lead to? I'm a bit fuzzy myself, I didn't follow it all that much since I don't really care either way. Actually, it was a question of the second language so for the sake of being politically correct Finnish would not be mandatory in the examination either, altough someone who only speaks Swedish in Finland is screwed unless they stick to their coastal town or move abroad. "svenska talande bättre folk"

    Not really, I don't know what Finns you have met but 80% of the time you will be much better off speaking English with the Finn, you would be surprised how little people know after 10+ years of education in Swedish. The coastal areas are a different matter, there you get along with Swedish just fine. People in the Eastern part of the country sometimes don't even know that there is a Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, have they never once asked why they are learning Swedish in school I wonder...? Btw I'm part of that 5% minority. There has been a large debate in Finland lately if Swedish should be mandatory in the...student examination, studentskrivningarna auf Schwedisch...

    Uuh sure, Finland isn't a fortress, dark and gloomy though it may seem

    Hah, replace Welsh with Swedish and Urdu with Somali and Arabic and you could have a typical Finnish equivalent discussion. hm... ppl from arabic countries live in Finland? i always thought that finns dont have any immigration politics... if so - i'll imigrate to finland Nah, absolutely none compared to, say, Sweden, but they aren't too uncommon. Not sure about the numbers, ignorant me.

    Finnish Defence Forces Modification 1.3

    It wasn't that hard, I finished it, but one silly thing: When my leader was scoping out the village a UAZ drove in the distance and he started shooting at it like a crazy bastard while saying "be careful, we're just going to see what's going on there" and stuff like that Setcaptive true would be in order. edit: In case someone didn't know, there are lots of weapons added to 1.3 that you have to add by init line, like unsilenced Bizons with optics, RK-95 with drum mag or a silenced marksman version of it, and some more, can't remember.

    Sure a plane got near the white house, they can't have AA launchers activated all the time in a major city can they? I was talking about a helo insertion of Spets Naz.

    Really? I don't think it even runs it on that, I think my Radeon 8500 only has 1.1?

    See, Delta do not travel around with the President in full combat gear, SS are the President's security and they have their own heavily armed SWAT team out of sight. Parachuting spetsnaz...the U.S President has so much security and people whereever he goes (practically an aircraft carrier for last line of backup), it would be completely impossible for a helicopter to get anywhere near him, I advise you to use some V.I.P than the President. And Spetsnaz?

    Halo

    The game is pretty ugly and it lags like hell for me. And they had this long to convert it?

    The Iraq thread 3

    At least some people have balls. Brings to mind how the Europeans didn't have any "balls" when they didn't immediately want to back a U.S-led war. edit: Balls to post completely groundless right wing cliché one-liner posts that are immediately disproven. Tex:

    Cliffhanger. The missions are about the same, just the units and difficulty level has been updated...

    Finnish is part of the Finnish-Ugric (Finno-Ugric? Not sure what it is in English) language family (? again), Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian and maybe the Sami language should be part of that family if I recall my "Modersmĺl" classes correctly...

    Terrorism or "Modern" war?

    Please. No peace in the world has ever been lasting. Ever. As the world's population increases only more people will die in bigger wars, right now we're just having a breather after being under the threat of nuclear annihilation and an all-out war between the East and West just 15 years ago. A few bombs here and there....we WILL see another large war and another and another as transportation is faster, resources become more scarce, populations increase... Really it isn't worth discussing even, war is a fact of life.

    United States Secret Service

    Any event where the U.S president would be would probably include hundreds (if not thousands) of AI civilians and an urban setting, bad idea for OFP...stick to Hitman. When you fire a shot, suddenly a thousand civilians lie down or if you have them on setunitpos up mill around like asshats, the President circles around an invisible waypoint extremely slowly to get into his car crewed by a damn clumsy AI that goes nowhere because of AI blocking the road and starts driving in circles, all the while the Secret Service run around whereever and don't jump onto the President or anything they would do in a real-life situation. Anything you could conjure up with OFP about this subject would be nothing like a real-life situation, I think... BTW there is already that M.I.B addon available made by...Ivan and Norsu? Search ofp.info for it, that's your SS right there.

    Just btw most real SEALs I have seen in pictures are a lot uglier than those Hollywood pretty boys.

    Accents

    Yes, that's a typical Finnish accent. I speak a very mushy, boring, neutral accent a bit haltingly, because those soft sounds in English just mess my mouth up. English is my third language. Swedish my first, Finnish the second. edit: Russian and Finnish have nothing in common no matter how it sounds (it doesn't).

    Hmm, worked for me. The mission didn't end after killing all the enemies and waiting a long while, though. edit: typo
