To all of you who say that they don't like Russians being the bad guys. I won't post a link, because this site contains some pretty harsh material, but type "cecenonline" in Google, and check out that site, just to get perspective.

Where? Your link just gets me to "download demo" page?

In 90% of those missions, I get the message "Can't load mission", but that means only the intro. The missions themselves work just fine, I haven't tested them with Resistance, though.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Acctually "if you see the flash its already too late" refers to the heat flash of a nuclear explosion. Because if you see the flash you're probably not dead acctually but certainly theres a possiblility.<span id='postcolor'> Could be true, but I think that that refers to a muzzle flash of a gun. If you see the flash, then the bullet is going to smash you in the matter of microseconds.. My personal opinion on name "flashpoint" is that it means, that things are starting to explode, not literally. Like the war is beginning or so.

I think that soldier's duty is to follow orders, whatever they may be. That is teached in every military that I know of. It would all go to hell if every poor infantryman would start to look "at the big picture". if you CO yells at you and orders you immediately to climb in to a tree, then you should do that and perhaps ask the questions later. In Finnish army, if some command seems to be unlawful or harmful for the soldier, then the soldier asks the superior for a written order. Then the soldiers follows the order, and the righteousness of that order is investigated later. EDIT: I would like to bring this thought in here again: Has someone blamed the soldiers of Rome for killing Jesus?

Most software, with the exception of freeware, is owned by its author, and the user just has the license to use it. I suggest that you read the boring licenses before using the games/operating systems/programs you have bought.

Or one suggestion if you have only $400: Try to find a used guitar. They can be real treasures sometime..

When you make a cutscene in the editor, one unit on the map is "you", I mean, the "player". If you give that unit NVGoggles and he uses them, then the screen will turn green, with no "noise" as you said. And, if you want to return to normal view, you have to remove the NVGoggles from the player. HTH.

Could you use some kind of variables to indicate whether you have already added that action to a specific soldier/player? Like DoItAddedtoP1 and so on?

I heard somewhere that you can sort of hypnotisize yourself if you stare in the mirror long enough. It's worth a try if you want something freaky.
