In Rock's Raiders, we used to have a picture just like that in the screenshot section labeled sum of all fears. I think it was kind of a joke. But as far as I know, it's fake. I don't think it'd be possible to make that detailed a mushroom cloud in OFP.

In my first sentence, I pointed out that what I was doing was to help, and not to harm. I told you point blanc what I thought. I just thought I'd say that. And as to "Fix it yourself." I just wanted to help. If I knew how to make it, I would. I don't though. And just because I don't doesn't mean I should be deprived of any say so as to gameplay. If I offended you, I apologize. I appreciate the addons, and play them consistently. But I do want them to be right. I think you'd like them to be right, too. I appreciate your concern for the OFP community in making them, but I just thought I'd point out how to make it better.

I myself am working on getting pictures from a friend. But anyhow, if we fix these errors, OFP can become the single most realistic game around. The only thing EVERY game lacks is the fact that a single shot would incapacitate a person. After taking that first hit, you'd lay on the ground until you got medical attention, most of the time. But what's the fun in lagging, because the game is too big with features to hold in one computer? I mean, cmon. I'll be happy with just these fixes. It would be OFP's christmas present to all of us!

If you've ever seen M-1 Carbine sights, the M-1 Garand sights, or the M-16 sights, all of them are VERY similar. Â The US army uses almost identical sights on all its domestic weapons. Â The only reason the M-16A2 sights have the tall bars on the outside are because its in the carrying handle. Â Take those off, and you have M-1 sights. Â You have M-1 Carbine sights, you have M-14 sights. Â They are a peephole mounted directly onto the weapon, peering down toward a front sight assembly that looks exactly like the M-16's. Â Only thing is, the BIS m-16 sights are kind of wrong. Â The real front sight flares out, instead of going straight up. Â But you don't really notice looking through the sights, anyway. EDIT: BTW, I already had Major Fubars pistol. I love it. They oughtta factor it into BIS. The only way the addons that are accurate are going to see play is for BIS to take them and put them in a patch. Addons are great, but not everybody has them. So MP servers can't use them, and are stuck with the stock weapons, which in some cases aren't right.

Well, I just want to say first off that I'm not here to be an asshole, or to cause trouble. I just want to say that I'm trying to set some things right, before people get too used to them. I'm a big viet nam nut. I love that kind of thing. 20th Cent. US history facinates me. Now one of my favorite rifles is the M-14, and the sights that everyone uses on these mods that keep coming out (THe Tales of War sights come closest so far, but they still aren't right. And the most indecent thing is what the SEB Nam pack 2 did to it.) are coming out wrong. It's a peephole sight. In fact, it's the exact same sight that the M-1 Garrand uses. Take the autofire out a '14, and you get an M-1A. it should look more akin to the sights on the FAL. When I get a picture of one (Wherever I can dig one up, if anywhere) I'll send one to whoever is in charge of this part of the modmaking. Also, the ROF on the '14s is just disgusting. IRL, it's 750 RPM's. Make it so. As much as the aforementioned problems are in need of fixing, the following one is more urgent. This is directed towards BIS, should they choose to hear my pleas. BIS, please, in the name of a beautiful game, and my personal hobby when bored, in all your great power, and with every available ounce of effort and good job, FIX THE RESISTANCE WEAPONS. The Beretta 92F is not used by the military. The US Military uses the Beretta M-9. This fires a 9x19mm NATO round. You have the looks right. Just change the mag capacity. It holds 15 rounds. Fix all the other magazines too. And the M-9 was adopted in teh year 1985, meaning not many units, especially the back country unit that is shown in Everon, will have them. They will be carrying the Colt Model 1911A1 .45ACP pistol. Seven round magazine, .45ACP (of course. =D). As for the Glock 17, I didn't know that was even issued. Anyway, before we get more, let's fix what we have. I thank you all for letting me rant in peace, and I'll now go soak my head like a good little bad boy. Farewell, and good hunting. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Yeah, but Bond uses it in a cheap joke in Moonraker.

Sorry for the out-of-line remark. Just got kind of PO'd that my statement was mishandled. If it came across as egotistical, I assure you it wasn't meant that way.

But come on. You've gotta admit that you've always had the urge to make a mission where it's almost like WWI, where you get into some nice close combat, and just bring the butt of your rifle into somebodies face. Man vs. Man. Dukin' it out, the most primitive way around. Trying to conquer eachother with what ammounts at that range to a poorly crafted club. It HAS to appeal to some folks. I know that the desire is great within my own heart. Come, people! Join the revolution!

WTF, man? I simply state that I believe knives are more useful, and I state how. It's a commonly used method to list all contengencies that you can manage to think of in your first post, so as to prevent arguments. But then some asshole has to come along, and try and start an argument! Fuck you.

These three--or two, if you want to be really cheap--topics are must-haves. OFP has all but the knives and bayonettes already coded in. The hand to hand and rifle butting sequences would be nice. While everyone talks about using their "Silenced Gun", instead of a bayonette, or a Ka-Bar or SEAL pup knife, or a MK IV diving knife, or your handy and ever-useful rear stock, I don't think they comprehend. In a "Black Op" mission, I would personally take a knife kill if it was what was necessary. First of all, because silenced "guns" (they should be called pistols, rifles, or weapons. Call a weapon a "Gun" in training, and they'll swab the deck with your cranium. You can meet the sqaud bay floor up close and personal, while you enjoy the thought provoking position of the leaning rest.) don't truly "silence" unless they're uber-high qaulity. If they're that soft and gentle sounding, they probably have jack shit for an effective range, because the round moves so damn slow, and you can only effectively silence or flash suppress, not both. I mean, there are some things that supress both ways, but that's just what they do--suppress. Not truly "silence" or "eliminate." These factors add up to mean that a more effective approach, if you're that damn close, is to conserve ammo, grab 'em by the mouth and nose while controlling their body movement, and give a nice, firm thrust to the kidney, and hold and twist till he convulses, after which time you let him slowly down to the ground and go about your flippin' business.

She wants a female soldier model for a GAME, not a diatribe on why women shouldn't be allowed in combat. I swear, guys who come in here asking for Star Wars addons get more respect than this...<span id='postcolor'> I agree....at any rate most of those making those assumptions have not ever done actual military combat training with competent female soldiers. Â They are out there. Â Some females are bad at it and shouldn't be allowed to do it, but the bottom line is that there are some female soldiers out there that I've seen kick serious ass by being able to pass the male standard PT scores (in some cases max the male scores) and who were able to handle the combat training very well. To not allow such women (who meet very high physical endurance criteria) to prove themselves in combat is I believe just ignorance. Â Kinda like how blacks had to prove themselves in combat because they were thought to be useless except as cooks and quartermaster type soldiers. As for size, there are plenty of small guys, me being one of them. Â But that's an advantage in modern combat. Â A big 6ft+ 250lb body builder type looks a lot better in uniform and are stronger (although not always in endurance), but he's just a bigger (and more noticeable) target to shoot at and can't hide in bushes or holes as easily. Â I guess the real fear of men is that women may someday kick our asses around and become the dominant sex...but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon unless evolution speeds up really quick. Â Deviation in normal female genetics happen all the time which is why you occasionally get "butch" women for the same reasons why sometimes you get very feminine men, if not in body then in mind. Â However they sometimes tend to be lesbian and thus don't reproduce and thus don't pass on those genetics. Â Those that aren't Lesbian, if they have a man-like body, they may often have trouble finding a mate. Â Then there are those who look beautiful and fight beautifully. Â (The stereotypical Laura Croft image). Â Those types are rare in my experience, but they do exist. Â Those are the ones that scare the hell out of men. <!--emo& With that said most female soldiers I've seen are just average looking however most do their jobs reasonably well with only a small percentage that cause problems. Â But if "butch" can shoot well, and fight well, then I say, "You Go Girl!!!" Â LOL! Â Hopefully there will be some girls with guns in OFP. Â As far as just using a civy model, they can't hold crap for weapons (can't even hold a rocket launcher) and they don't have uniforms. Â But does anyone know the # of the angelina face or any of the other female faces so that they can just be stuck on a male soldiers body. Â This actually is not all that unrealistic, because sometimes in those baggy uniforms it's hard to tell if a soldier is male or female. Â Someone posted a picture of how you can change out the faces but failed to give the face#. If anyone knows how to do that please post it. Â Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD><span id='postcolor'> Now, I already agreed to females in the game. But I will say that my very limited experience with military oriented events (I'm NSCC--Naval Sea Cadet Corps--. Basically an junior Navy. Drill once a month, but I wish it was more. Military life is awesome) has shown me that I am slightly--to my own dismay, as I hate unfairness--sexist when it comes to females in combat. Put 'em in games all you want. But let me say this. It is NOT the physical, shooting, and competence issue. I've met women that topped me in all of those, and I'm damn good at all three. It's the fact that in the military, in ANY situation, problems can arise between men and women. See, what if you were to have, ah, relations with a woman. Whether you're an asshole or not, you become attached in some way. Then that implies favoritism. You wouldn't send her to get killed over other guys, EVEN if she can do the job better. And whether you, personally, could or not is no matter. Not EVERYONE can, without hesitation. Now on the even worse side, what if you guys break up? The shit hits the fan, then. You begin to hate each other, and you're out for blood. Once again. You may be able to control this urge, but I gaurantee somebody in this world WON'T. If it werent for assholes like them, the world would be a better and more eqaul place. But with all this said and done, I still rather enjoy the prospect of female players actually being able to express themselves, as that is one of the great things this game has always had, with its face customization features and all.

Well, in that light, have at it. I just want to say though, that whoever makes this damn thing better make it like one of those face addons. Cause I don't wanna end up getting kicked off servers without knowing why, and the reason end up being I didn't have a "necessary" addon. Does this mean, though, that we get to use the phrase "You got beat up by a girl"?

That's awesome! You actually made the facilities "mount"able. You are my hero! NOW MAKE MORE!

I didn't say women weren't ever in combat. I said they aren't supposed to be. They can be, in support roles. But it's almost like a "Chance into it" thing.

Because they're so stupid that they run strait at you like morons. Female humans however have the same intelligence (maybe more) than I do, thus creating problems. Not only are they tougher to hit, but they know how to exploit that. 2+2=4. 4 is bad.
