    Who runs the wars?

    1. I have a 56k. 2. The thread is about the Carlyle group in general, not one movie about it. 1. Sorry, poor guy. 2. You don't seem to have any background information but are just treating it like "another conspiracy theory" and then debating wether conspiracy theories in general are true or not. Ah, there's got to be tons of sites with info about TCG, suggest you Google. Edit: spelling

    Will you watch the video that this whole thread is based on, then come with your arguments?

    The Iraq Thread 2

    Not to mention the Russian Hinds, and that his favorite methods for delivering those warheads came from Russia too . They came from the Soviet Union, so there's not much use blaming present Russia for that, IMO.

    Invasion 1944...

    Is this the right place to discuss the released beta grass? Well, my opinion about that is, it looks great but you can't fight in it. I don't know the technical side of how it is created to reduce lag, etc. but when you fire or throw grenades, about every other shot ends up impacting/exploding in the middle of the field! It's because the bullet touches some part of the grass that's part of some technical...thingamajig. Also, I was doing a recreation of the grass ambush in Saving Private Ryan...after I hit a halftrack with a bazooka round all the Germans, who were wounded in the legs and couldn't stand, poured out of the vehicle and lay down in the grass and started shooting at me. The thing is, I couldn't hit them and they couldn't hit me! Damn OFP engine...

    Well, let's not get into that too much...

    Return of the king

    Eh? I think you've got it wrong, my friend. Gollum is the name of the creature that the former hobbit Smeagol has turned into due to the effect of the Ring. Gollum (who gets his name from the coughing sounds he often makes) has a split personality, and the kinder Smeagol sometimes surfaces. Gollum and Smeagol are the names in the English version and many other languages also, it isn't just in the French version of the book. Gollum is not = Smeagol, but it's close. BTW in Finnish Gollum's name is Klonkku (pronounced KLONKku) Hope that cleared things up. Edit: And I don't have a habit of stealing jewelry just because my name is Gollum! Â heh...wherever did you get that idea? <span id='ME'><center>Gollum1 looks around nervously... </center></span> To clarify, leaving your possessions around me is perfectly safe.

    Return of the king

    Ugh. That sounds like a good idea now, but when the 3rd one comes up you'll be physically and mentally exhausted. ...I'll bet.

    Finnish defence forces mod 1.1

    Something for Goeth: Since the East Border map is supposed to be inland, it's pretty much impossible to do missions on the edge of the map since you can see the OFP sea, ruining the setting. What I propose for this map, in fact for all maps, is to put low hills all around the edges of the map. This way, the sea would be hidden except for aircraft.

    Improved unit editor

    Right now, we have 4 sides, West, East, Res, Civ, and we can't create new ones! A team system like in the "skirmish" mode of, for example, the Command & Conquer games would be practical. You can create as many teams as you like and then decide which teams they will be friendly to and which sides they will be hostile to. I bet this could be adapted to OFP2.

    Xm-8 is a go!

    I don't live in Europe, so why would I know European recruitment procedures ? Just kidding, that's why I added the @Merc: That's not the point. People discuss shit that they don't know anything about or have any effect on in forums just to pass the time. That's obvious. That's (partly) what forums are for. So there's no point in coming in and acting all arrogant and pointing it out. I understood your post like "Oh you poor babies, whining and bitching about shit you don't understand. We're lucky to have some REAL men in here who know what they're talking about and realize facts." Now that's probably not what you meant, but it can be perceived that way. Why don't you come into every thread and point out that discussing things don't have any effect on them? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, those are words of wisdom. Just my 2 cents.

    They do?!? Very interesting... DUH. Off the top of my head, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, most former East Block countries, Russia...

    What is the best mp game???

    F*ck PC gamer! Most gaming magazines, especially that one, are walking advertising brochures, they get an advertisement from the game dev and then post it as a "hype" or "preview" article. Not surprisingly, according to those articles, games like H&D2 and Black&White will bring about world peace, end famine etc. Well, getting a bit OT now... My favorite MP game besides OFP is Day of Defeat, the WW2 HL mod. Not perfect, but I like...the realism. I'm not playing it anymore, though. F*ck Steam! Â Edit: If only DoD had Russians...*dreams*

    Finnish defence forces mod 1.1

    I would like this, too. The most likely place where Finns would engage combat right now is Kosovo or one of the other peacekeeping areas.

    Retextured guerillas released!

    Agree. I think this would work nicely, Edge.

    Xm-8 is a go!

    Yeah, let's stop discussing politics since we can't really do shit about it anyway. Why are you even a member of this forum if you feel that way? Â Â

    What a coinsidence!

    Hahaha, don't think that U.S Army high-ups play OFP much! Coincidence that you nab Guba there, though. As mentioned before, it's based on the classic 80s movie Red Dawn.

    Wouldn't those weigh a ton, not to mention give your position away pretty easily?

    Lets talk usmc

    Hey I found a bug in your AAV! The barrel of the gun has a missing... Just kidding! It looks great.

    Joint ammo and magazines (jam)

    JAM is a great concept (especially HD for AI! yay!) but IMO it does need a bit of tweaking. For example, the sound for the Soviet 7.62 for the PK and RPD...it's too *beefy*, while rifles sound very weak, like ripping paper. Rifle fire does sound sharp IRL, but you forgot the bang mixed in there. :P I do know what I'm talking about. I think the FDF m16 sound is the way it should sound. Just a suggestion, keep up the good work.

    Xm-8 is a go!

    If you're referring to the remarks about the appearance, don't take it too seriously! We're just bored. And the existing M4s/m16s can be upgraded to be VERY reliable(I've heard... ).

    Who runs the wars?

    I guess that's why the Soviets were slaughtered in Afghanistan. The only thing Afghans didn't have were Su-25s, Mi-24s, BMPs, T-64s, Spetz Naz...actually, the only thing they had were AKs and RPGs. Â That's a completely false argument. A10s can't fight guerrilla wars. They can't hold ground or win the support of the local population. Guerrilla wars are man to man, the side with more determination and the population on their side wins. @Walker: VERY good point.

    The Iraq Thread 2

    Sounds like Saddam needs some fresh air! "how can I use the bathroom..." I'd vote for the latter!
  23. Gollum1

    Xm-8 is a go!

    Agree with Heavy Metal, the U.S sure isn't getting bang for its buck! Just upgraded M4s and M16a4 instead of M16a2 would be much cheaper and almost as effective, plus U.S troops are accustomed to them!

    Finnish defence forces mod 1.1

    @Goob Sissi isn't an abbreviation, so it's spelled with caps off. Also, Masi and Rasi consist of two words, the Si being Sisu, the company which makes the trucks. So actually it would be MaSi and RaSi, but they're spelled Masi and Rasi, caps off. (Pasi, same thing) Sorry to nitpick. @FDF: I haven't found any new units that actually use the new weapons PPscH-41, RK-95 VV2000 and Barrett(?). I almost forgot they were there! Maybe you should equip the Special Jaegers with the VV2000 and some Reservists should have PPscH?

    Black apache released

    Are there black Apaches IRL? I always thought they were dark green...
