Thanks Mal, where did you get your pc2400?

I think it's a good idea, if the soldier started getting low on ammo & in the heat of battle all of the sudden decided to get up & go run 200 meters to the next dead soldier, I don't think that would be a very smart move. I can see the computer doing that. Giving the player control of this command would be really cool especially if the soldier would fill up as many ammo slots as possible, not just pick up one clip & wait for you to tell him again.

Hey, any of you Asus experts out there know if I can put an Athlon XP 1900 on my A7M266? Or if I can put pc2400 ram on it? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me.

I was lookin up info on handheld minguns & I couldn't really find much information other than vehicle mounted versions. Even if we couldn't get a handheld model, it would be nice to have one a chopper. So here's my recomendation. http://www-acala1.ria.army.mil/LC/CS/Csa/ach47a2.htm

Thats a really good idea. It would be nice to see someone that acually has the connections to get at least a few of the "must have's" out to the public. It would be kinda hard though, the person with that responsiblity would be under a whole lot of pressure from everyone demanding something or giving other ideas a thumbs down, on top of the enormous amount of single requests for things from catapults to jetpacks. Who knows if BIS will even respect the position for a comunity spokesperson, but if they do it might not be a bad idea to have a few other people under that person so he/she doesn't get overwhelmed trying to please everyone. So far I've enjoyed all the official addons & I'd like to see more, I really like the idea of having someone with a little more control over this so it might help put an end to the "BIS you have to do this or that" kinda posts. So rather than people posting their ideas & getting flamed for it, or getting flamed for posting an idea somebody already had, they could submit it to someone or go to a website or something to vote on it.

We were coming up to a base when all of the sudden a bunch of enemy troops walked out into the road. As usual the driver slowed down & began to turn off the road. I very quickly selected everyone & got ready to eject. Just as I did that the enemy troops started firing & nailed the driver with a half dozen shots or so (they must have all been aiming at him) I told everybody to bail & ejected with them. When we popped out, the truck kept going making a wide turn, I thought nothing of it as I went prone & opened fire. Just as the rest of my squad began to fire I heard the truck approaching. I turned my head quickly to look & just about the time I did that I saw the front tire run me over along with the rest of my squad. We never had a chance with the enemy finishing off the critically injured soliders. So I sat there all pissed off watching the death camera, the truck was stuck doing wide doughnuts & my squad was right in it's path. I don't know, the game must have just glitched when we all jumped out. Ever happened to you? <span id='postcolor'> No. I didnt know that units could move after they were killed. Â The truck dies with the driver...you know. Â Until someone gets in the truck as driver again. <span id='postcolor'> I told you it glitched, I saw the driver slump over, or else I would have hung in there a little longer to see if he would have turned out of danger. I doubt he would have though, letting the computer drive is like sentencing your squad to death. They always manage to run down at least one solider walking along the road, & trees must be extra points. Driving next to a forest is suicide.

Obiviously, this is pretty much an unrealistic goal for OFP...but d*amn wouldnt' it be cool? :-) Sgtvor <span id='postcolor'> What if they gave you the ability to change positions while the plane was moving, so if you were sitting down the in the cargo bay you could move to a standing up position just behind the door. It wouldn't be exactly running out, but once you ejected you would have a simular feeling. It would seem pretty easy to implement, but maybe more difucult to make an animation of the door opening?

I thought this was Operation Flashpoint, not Born to ride

That's to bad the ghile suite is just for looks & has no effect on ability to blend in to your surroundings.

A mini gun for commando teams would be nice, like Ventura's in Preditor. A saw would be nice too, but I prefer something a little heavier for laying down a #### of a lot of cover fire on those stupid guys that go prone in a bush & start firing.

I don't know how BIS designed their character models, but I do a little 3d modeling & It would seem to me that the only hard part about implementing side arms would be making it fit to the character model. If you notice in the game, all they guys are right handed. It would be nice to have some leftys but since there arn't any it should be a little easier to implement on top of all the guys holding their weapons the same way. If you think about it, the right hand could be moved closer to the body just few degrees to cup the left palm making for a nice position to hold a hand gun. Running with it would be like how you see unarmed models sprint. Anyone else have any thoughts?

It would be nice to sit in a vehicle even if it is dissabled & not get forced out. So you could use it to hide. It's annoying how the AI knows you're in there. If you walk up on a tank & crew isn't turned out & the tank is just parked with the engine off, then there's not really any way you can tell if there's anyone in the tank, so why should the AI be able to know If I can't.
