CADPAT and MARPAT on U.S. Army units? Doesn't make sense. 80% of the games out there (Futuristic or Modern) have you play as Marines or Navy SEALs (Doom, Halo, BF2, SOCOM, so on and so on...What are DEVs obsession with those branchs? I am not bagging or anything but I think they have seen to many movies (which also 80% have Marines or Navy SEALs in them or at least former). "Who is he Bill, I don't know sir, but he is Ex-Navy SEALs..." I think they see them as the Elite of the Elite...But I think the Army needs some recognition as well and I believe BI is doing a good job on doing that. Edit1: Just my 34 cents and again, I am not dissing branches, just stating facts.

Not really a U.S. Army star per se...but the patch of the U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division featuring the patch, the star and the Native American's head in the center.

Chipper: It looks like it is partially in water and not all the way in. TB84: These units are so darn nice looking. I am glad you chose these as your final. I got one question, are you going to add an USAF F-22 Raptor? Edit1: I am so sorry to be very picky TB84, but I noticed the hydration pack has shoulder traps. Spec-Ops Brand is one of the most popular choices for soldiers and airmen. Check out The H.U.M.P.(which I think you modeled it after), it is supposed to eliminate shoulder straps while hooking to the MOLLE vest via alice clips or MOLLE itself. Oh yeah, the knee pads can't be the same color as the boots? Nobody please attack me...I still think they are great looking... Edit2: I can't stop looking at the Grenadier - M4A1/M203 (Battle dress Uniform) image! That rifle looks so badass along with the unit model...

I am getting a new PC soon for future BI games/sims and I was wondering if the Dell X200 will be able to let me upgrade to the latest video card. You can select a dedicated video card but I don't know if size would matter since the X200 seems to be awfully slim and most video cards now-a-days are a little big. Can someone back me up on this? Oh yeah, I don't like building my own computers... Also... I was thinking about buying another computer for $500- to specifically run dedicated ArmA or VBS1 servers. I never hosted a dedicated server and I am wondering if this is how it can be done. If so, would I need a powerful PC or can I settle with an average one instead? Is there anything I need to know about? Thank you...

Okay, thank you shinRaiden.

Thanks for the replies guy, really helpful. I haven't played on any server online, only on LAN so I don't know if there are any here in South United States (Specifically Texas). So that is why I want to make it dedicated to bring a community within the area together. I was also wondering if I was to be present at all times to run a server 24/7? Does it cost money? Would a game like OFP1/VBS1 require me to restart everytime? I know the ArmA world is persistant but what does this mean once all the vehicles are busted? There is no vehicle respawn is there? Is it up to me to respawn them? Edit: Can I just use Windows OS to run servers? I have to have all the contents from that game/sim installed into the computer I am using as a server, right?

I saw something on TV the other day about Northern Ireland with something very similar to that.

That is a relief to know FriedChicken, Thank you. Edit: Your avatar looks goofy.

That is correct Friedchicken. Will there be peeking in ArmA?

Thank you TB84.

Don't worry about your English Pierre. I understand everything you post with ease.

To add to my list: Military working dog (German Shepherd) UGV UAV Did they confirm VOIP in ArmA? Will heads move around when in a vehicle or aircraft when the default Alt button is used?

Ahh, awsome. Edit: Awesome.

Ahh, awsome. Edit: Awesome.

I believe FFUR ACU units are different from DLEM's. FFUR2006 is a great mod incase you want to modernized the feel of the whole game. This is based on woodland and will be updated soon. ThunderBird (creater) is also working on an updated Winter and Desert pack. The add-ons listed by XCess are a must have. Also some UKF (British Armed Forces) addons are great. Check out: ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION You will find that a highly talented community awaits. There is to much to just mention any good mod or addon. You can check a few pages back per forum and find interesting stuff. Many people use these forums to list updates on there projects even if they have a website. If you find something that might look like it is old and outdated, it might not be. Many topics are updated every now and then. I am sure you will find something the suits you. Great site: www.ofp.info and Edit:Almost everyday their is something new.

Thanks Ice, cool mod you got here.

Haha, those addons look badass AtStWalker! I dig the whole cartoony look! Is there a Sgt. Slaughter unit somewhere?

Heh, OFP gives me reason not to play Star Wars, Warhammer, any military game or anything for that matter . BIS games are the only games/sims my HD will accept

You know, in 3 years their will be improvements from models to graphic updates just like in OFP1. Edit:I didn't intend to say the BIS Stryker model is bad or anything.

I personally like the Imperial Guard (always liked the humans/terrans in any game)(Space Marines are to much). If dealing with space craft is to much, it would be alright to see a couple of static battle ships in the air while the fights continue on ground. I wonder if ArmA would help with the whole space/interior of ship battle thing.

Might sound silly, but are there space battles in the WH40K universe? I wonder if they would be in this mod if there were.

Hey Cameron, Those were pretty good shots. One thing, they were so clear and crisp, my eyes were hurting. What the hell did you use? What resolution? Those are the settings I want right next to Parvus and Kyle.

Agreed. OFP1 desperately needs a Stryker. I am pretty sure your completion of the OFP1 Stryker will given you tremendous knowledge on the Stryker upgrade for ArmA if time permits.

Microsoft to publish BIS games...doesn't sound bad at all. I would hope that ArmA wouldn't be released via Steam (or anything like it).

Blackdog: Those are excellent shots. There were no Thunderbirds present?
