    They weren't terrorist back then. Just Iraqis. ;) Axis of evil and weapons of mass destruction sounds much meaner than Iraqis.

    Or because the gameplay looks action oriented rather than tactical-action oriented. There's no walk, there's no lean, no jets, the viewdistance portrayed is nowhere near the 35km VD, but rather BF2 level. The animations look bad, they seem to be using the float object first person view. All in all it reminds me much more of BF2 than it does of OFP. It looks like BF2 without a map size limit(although, some of the interviews make me question that) and that's a good thing! I've always liked BF2, but never the small maps. The other problem I can see is that BF2 is more moddable than DR seems to going to be.
  3. You're right, it's too powerful, better back off there or you might hurt the game.

    And widescreen support! I'm looking forward to playing it with mods.

    Yeah, but you need to look for the linux version. In windows you can just use that version. And in my expirence it usually wasn't the case of a simple installer. Still, the common user has problems because they simply don't know linux versions of things like photoshop(gimp). Still, if I didn't have to rely on directx and windows compatiblity I would use linux with joy.

    HOHOHO Linux is still shit for the common user. Yes, it has become easy to use, but you can't use anything on it.
  7. I'm a bit disapointed by the fact that the AI still has no battlefield assesment, still flank in single numbers and still don't pop in and out of cover(sandbags).

    Nod32 has a startup scan that completely criples my system on startup. I have to wait 2 minutes for nod to get over itself. I think I've managed to turn it off, but would still like to search for a replacement.

    The ORIGINAL milsim games and what made them great!

  13. Game plays fine on my end, some magic combo of hardware, OS and drivers on your end probably. And you are not the center of the world.
  14. Yeah, that's what I usually revert to. Though, there might be a problem sometimes with the AI choosing to be dicks and firing their AKs when they have RPGs on their back. Can anybody remember what the command keybind is for target? I used to have it on right click, so I'd select a team member and right click on an enemy and he'd be given the target command. Now I need to go to the 2 submenu and that's bad when you have enough enemies around. The context menu again fails, because it only shows attack AIeven though you're prone, standing still, have issued a hold fire command. It's not very context sensitive.
  15. Alright, I love ambushes and I love playing guerilla style. So I made this small ambush scenarion where I need to rely on the AI(yeah I know, bad idea) to take out an APC. However, when I wanted to tell the AI to switch to RPG I found out that there's no command under the action menu and that Space+F doesn't work. Because the ambush took place in confined space by the time the AI soldier switched to the RPG the APC already went by and the ambush went to hell. Very impractical. I remember in resistance that there was a way to make AI soldiers to switch to RPG/LAW so that they were ready for action as soon as anything explodeable drove by. Now I can't recall how to do that, halp? How can I make the old OFP command menu appear instead of the context shit appearing? I prefer the old method compared to the spacebar-context menu mix. Also, the damn command system is really showing it's age and using the overhead view is pretty much a bad idea. I would really love to see more useful commands, one of them being Shoot on my lead, which would be useful in ambushes, as setting a command and then firing and the AI picking up on this is faster than tapping the tilde key and then 3-1. No keystroke vs three keystrokes is better in my view. And the context menu is bad. I hope this bit gets a through update in OA. I hope BI took notice when it wasn't just "fans" that were bitching when we saw the same old, but also reviewers who figured out that pressing 10 keystrokes while dodging RPGs is far from intuitive.

    Egh? Where are you living? It's 2009, not 1995. Russia has been on a streak upwards. If Baff needs to backup his statements you need to do the same. And again, even you admit it was in 1990s, now it's 2009. Things have changed. Oh a NATO led force pummeled serbia and Kosovo, how hard is that? And they still managed to lose F16s and F117s! I mean c'mon... The US is fitting ERA on tanks and APCs. And you keep ignoring the damn link I posted: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=74232 Lower quality FCS, lower quality materials, no ERA, lower quality build, badly trained crews. And no, Iraq wasn't exactly awash with money, the Iraq-Iran war had just ended. It had drained both men and money. T72s have seen TONS of combat. The T-90 on the other hand, no. We've yet to see it in combat. But I doubt it'd preform poorly. It's got a new turret, composite(as does t-72) with ERA, Shtora and refleks missiles.
  17. Logs are completely the same. The 79 has the same thing in the log.
  18. I think it's not up yet and the changelog hasn't changed.

    I wonder how effective is the Reflex missile. Is it along the line of the BMP missiles, 1-2%(I think that's on the move though)?

    Ah, here we go: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=74232 Although with old ammo, it used old tanks and old ERA. And the russians haven't been sleeping either, so the US isn't the only one who advanced their armour.

    The T-72s that the Iraqis used were complete and utter shit. They did do some test with regular T72s, the ones russians had, and the results were VERY different from desert storm.
  24. I did notice something similar, not in urban combat, but I was on a road and my team mate fired an RPG on a parked BMP3 that was in safe stance. The BMP3 turned around and shot my team mate who was lying in the grass, while ignoring me, lying on the flat grey road.
  25. Hmm, nope, all I get is the actions for nearby objects, if you're anywhere near a town a bunch of close door actions. No switch weapon action or change weapon or use rpg. Hmm, beta thing? Testing is in order! EDIT: Not fast enough, his RPG is still not in his hands. That's the main problem, because it takes so long for them to switch weapons, recognize a stinking huge APC infront of them and fire.
