Yeah, I think solving hundreds of armed conflicts, providing food and shelter to millions, building bridges between nations and preventing *GLOBAL HOLOCAUST* is taking WAY too long! Just dissolve the U.N and let´s nuke ourselves into oblivion, there´s no hope for humanity anyway! Do you have a better option than the U.N, then? How are you going to speed things up? Did it occur to you that people often have different opinions and discussion and debate is often considered a *good* thing?

Actually I just retextured BW mod's Leo , so credits to them for the model. Damn. Just ignore me, then. (who would want a leo with Finnish camo except Finns?)

Ha ha-Oh man, that´s rich

Yes.. and your irrational hatred of him will haunt you because long after Bush is gone, we will still despise "Europe". [/sarcasm] Europe? You mean Britain, Poland, Denmark, Spain and Italy? And "a few" East bloc countries? Last I checked, they made up a sizeable chunk of Europe. At least, those are the governments I irrationally hate , but I don´t understand why you would hate them? Didn´t they help the U.S in Iraq? Remember their help the next time Poland wants to invade Russia. What´s that? A war against Russia is totally unreasonable? But you haven´t...FORGOTTEN THEIR SACRIFICE, HAVE YOU!? The Fre-I mean the Americans are a bunch of cowards who never fight and wear pink dresses and are totally gay and sux0r and blah blah blah [/sarcasm]

Don´t know about the L2A6, but a very high quality L2A4 is being made by the Finnish Defence Forces mod. FDF Mod

You need some professional help, man!

VERY nice tanks and anims! I don´t know if this has been mentioned before, but what happens when you turn the turret ? Seriously, does all the infantry have to be disembarked for you to be able to turn the turret? Considering the AI in OFP disembark so slowly, it might be your death in an ambush...

Don´t know about the Stoner, but I know for a fact that there were lots of SEALs in Vietnam.

Really nice addons, I especially like the Pumas. And the Eryx is the coolest AT weapon in OFP! Some bugs I found: -The sounds of the Puma 20 mm cannon´s rounds exploding always sound like the explosion´s a couple of meters from you, it doesn´t fade out over distance. -Sorry guys, but the FAMAS sounds terrible! I bet it´s a "real" recording taken by one normal mic. And another sound bug, the pistol is very quiet. -The 20 mm cannon is pretty ugly and I bet those aren´t its real optics. -For game balance reasons, I think you should add armor to the cockpit. -Why are the French soldiers on the Resistance side? Besides the U.S, I think France is one of the most "West" armies. For anyone who thinks the 20 mm gunner isn´t engaging targets, try the old trick: Place an empty chopper on the map and put the gunner and pilot in it in separate groups. Put the pilot on "careless" and "limited" and "flyinheight 30" and the gunner on 100% skill and he should engage just fine. This is just a temporary solution, though. Great addons!

Holy shit , those screenshots are amazing! Keep up the good work!

Yeah nice idea but I think that helmet looks...out of place with the rest of the model, somehow. Try tweaking the textures.

Because it´s infantry BASED? It´s not an "infantry-only simulation", but an "infantry based simulation" like you said yourself.

Good idea! A BTR-80 wreck, flame script and graffiti texture would be great.

I think the crew are regular grunts because the BTR-80 is organic to an infantry squad, eg. the APC doesn´t "belong" to any armored unit or crewed by a tank crew, the APC is a natural part of the squad. Anyway, superb textures and models AKM74! My only complaint is that the 100mm cannon´s sound is very silent and muffled, like a "pop" and the sound of the turrets turning is also pretty quiet. And I suppose those BTR-80 gunner optics are only placeholders until you get the real ones? Quality addons!

@Tovarish: Good post, sums it all up quite nicely. I´m saving that for sure.

It should probably be on "english" for you, while I have English mature, Francais or Espagnol options. I´m not sure you have that option in your U.S version? Oh the installer actually asked me if I wanted the English mature or English version.

The drill instructor is so foul-mouthed that it takes a loong time for him to say anything in between the swearing. Your teammates swear a lot in combat, like "GOOK MOTHERF****RS! Or just "F**k you!" Your character does the same when he talks, saying "shit" a lot. It isn´t Kingpin-style overdone and is quite realistic. Artillery, multiple knife hits and the M2 on the helo deforms bodies. Grenades sometimes do the same, but less frequently. And about the ragdoll-I know they have a very primitive ragdoll system that rarely works properly, but don´t you otherwise agree on the animations and clipping? Pretty minor fault, anyway.

I have Vietcong, the mature version. I can blow off arms and legs and my teammates scream things like "motherf****r" in combat Really, the game is a refreshing FPS that has a new theme and is relatively realistic. VC isn´t nearly as realistic or dynamic as OFP, they´re in completely different leagues, but OFP could learn a few things. Some things I liked about VC compared to OFP: -Usage of cover. Jungle fighting makes cover like trees and rocks essential. Also, this is the first FPS I have played where the AI give a damn about their own asses. They move crouched and pop in and out of cover, making them very hard to hit. They also camp and lean around corners. -Extended firefights. In OFP battles are pretty short since everyone is so accurate, there´s little cover and no one uses it, and grenades are used to devastating effect. In VC your teammates or the enemy are often very inaccurate and everyone stays in cover, allowing you to flank the enemy! You can really decimate an enemy squad by sneaking around the back. -Iron sights. In VC the iron sights are completely 3D and extremely realistic. -Realistic weapons, altough there are way too many muzzle flashes and some weapons sound very wrong, like the RPD, M60 and Thompson, to name a few. But anyway, the reload animations are top notch. I often use the Mosin-Nagant and other bolt-action rifles because the recharge animation looks beautiful and the sounds of the well-oiled parts moving after you´ve fired a round are so delicious. -Optional explosion whistle after explosion. This might be something for OFP2. All other pros can be attributed to scripting. Some things I hate are: -The AI bunny-hopping when they´re stuck, also sometimes the AI hits the dirt, stands, and hits the dirt again and just generally acts like complete fools. -A BIG AI problem: They ALWAYS block doorways and tunnels so that you can´t get out. ALWAYS. You´re completely screwed if you quicksave in a narrow tunnel and discover that your whole team has followed you. -Clipping and death animation problems, VC could really use a "ragdoll" effect. If an enemy dies next to, say, a rock, the death animation can get completely screwed up so it plays a couple of meters above ground and when he´s dead the corpse floats back to the ground. Corpses can also get stuck inside walls, and what´s more, halfway up the wall! Plus some stuff like scripted and pipe-like levels, but only OFP has that problem solved.

Looks absolutely fantastic! The final version of SeaDemon´s BTR-70 was very disappointing, all the betas just changed stuff and didn´t actually improve the vehicle, and the final version is and unplayable, ugly piece of S***, I´m sorry to say But AKM74 can finish this one, I have a lot of respect for his skillz

Kyllikki Sound Pack 1.1 totally 0wNz DR. No, but seriously, check it out. LDD Kyllikki addons page

That Leo looks very nice, good job!

Seeing Troska or Gastovski in OFP2 would be perfect. Just imagine: Instead of Armstrong, Gastovski is the rookie! And don´t you want to know how Troska "The Viking" got his nickname in Central Europe? Of course...Gastovski has met Troska before, so either Troska from Nogova has been in Vietnam (most probably Gastovski´s theather), which is highly unlikely, or Gastovski is some kind of American super hero that travels around the world killing thousands of commies and protecting freedom...*sigh*. Too bad Lukin would be 16 at most around the ´70s, but BIS doesn´t want to portray Russians that have any other personality than baby-killer, apparently. (CM made Red Hammer where they were a bit less senselessly bloodthirsty) But all the hints dropped in the campaigns would make the characters perfect for the ´70s.

BREAK OUT THE CHAMPAGNE! I´m sorry for doubting you BIS, this will be the best game ever! A partial and fictional Nam part is A-OK with me! And Central Europe...REV THOSE T72S UP! Phew...man, you made my day. Of course...I hope you get everything right, with 3 different climates and multiple factions. But I have faith!

Hmm, I´d have to say the M60E4 from Raven Shield, the AvP Pulse Rifle and the Invasion 1944 MG42
