    Don't worry guys, the only reason more of these asteriods are being reported is that we have more powerful detection equiptment.

    Like?  wink_o.gif

    The means of detecting asteroids still are very very limited, its a very very big space out there and even though there are observatories and things all around the world its not even nearly enough to monitor the surroundings very well. I remember that some time ago there was an asteroid that already went past earth until it was detected, and it went quite close too (in an astronomical sense)

    Of course, also the chances of an asteroid hitting earth are very very very small, but it has happened and will happen in the future, but again in an astronomical sense so it might be a billion years.

    I'm not saying we can see everything coming at us, far from it. All I'm saying is the technology is allot better now that it was 50 years ago. So we see more things like this, and just because we're only seeing them now doesn't mean they wern't always there. The chences are still slim.

    Cool, Doc Fitzsimmons is one of my lecturers! (I study Astrophysics at QUB.)

    Don't worry guys, the only reason more of these asteriods are being reported is that we have more powerful detection equiptment. Maybe we werebetter off living in ignorance rock.gif

    Anyway, fact of the matter is, IF it was on course to take us out, there isn't a whole lot anyone could do about it. Unless someone can get in touch with James Gastovski tounge_o.gif

    But we need to remember the people playing GTA3 exactly aren't going to be all that smart.

    I think thats an unfair generalisation. I play GTA. Does that automatically make me 'not all that smart?' I think it's good fun. But I know it's a game and the events and acts depicted in it should stay there. Still, I can't ignore that there are people out there who can't see that.

    I'm sick of people using games as a scapegoat for their own stupidity, and the media lapping it all up. As has been said before in this thread, why did the underaged kids have access to the game? Why did they have access to the weapon? You can't blame the game manufacturers. You can't blame the firearms manufacturers. If you do that, you might as well blame the companys who were foolish enough to put those tractor-trailer rigs on the road where they make perfect targets rock.gif

    Games may play a SMALL part, but no moreso than other forms of media. This is the fault of the individuals and/or the parents. I hope they get locked up for a long time.

    And thats all you're getting! And that includes you TS, show any more and we'll start cutting your fingers off!

    Quick question. Will that M14 be replacing the existing one, or are we going to have both the aimpoint and ACOG variants to play with?

    All of the above. But Arty would have to be done right. It'd be real easy to make the artillery too effective, thus taking he fun out of the game. I think the best way would be to limt who can call in a firemission. Like only a squad leader, if his squad has a radio; or create a new unit, the forward observer,who would call for support. That would be truley awsome.

    Will you be releasing campaign with that island featuring BAS addons?

    I am currently speaking to Jahve about converting Cold War Crisis to use BAS units. So it won't use the new island, but you will get some missions to play.

    I've been doing this since JAM came out. Let me tell you, the missions are much more exciting  wink_o.gif

    been doing what? smile_o.gif

    Converting the CWC campaign using the BAS addons and JAM. Great stuff. wink_o.gif

    Watched tonights episode, it was nice to see Col Dempsey get some decent screen time. It think there was a rather cheekey line at the start of the episode:

    "Blame the French, it's worked before."

    Do you think the writers were trying to offend? rock.gif

    Dodsey resigning his commission? They shoulda got rid of that newbie trooper. Still, it was hilarious watching him get chased across the rugby field tounge_o.gif

    Apart from that, nothing much happened.

    The French SF had infiltrated a terrorist group onboard a ship, which had to dock at a British port because of bad weather. The French didn't inform the British about the operation, and the British assumed that everyone on the ship was a terrorist.

    Because after he was shot, he went for his weapon while he was on the deck, therefor he was still a danger, so the French dude shot him again. I'm sure and SF operator would do the same, given the situation.

    On a side note, I can't find the damned DVD boxed set anywhere crazy_o.gif

    Who saw this program (in England on ITV) about the SAS? its pretty silly, since *SPOILER* He shoots through a man, AND into another girl, with an MP-5 which uses 9mm bullets if i am not wrong, and she STILL died. Im not really a gun expert, but i dont think this is realistic. And that flashbang was very flashy and bangy.  crazy_o.gif

    This is supposed to get a discussion up about it and it will be going on for a bit (new series)

    the_unknown_one

    She's not dead, she's in a coma.

    Ultimate Force isn't realistic, but it's good old mindless violence. Can't be bad to that. I'll be buying the first series on DVD tounge_o.gif

    I found this on my hard drive, and realised it was never compiled and cleaned up. It's the second war story we did, and I think it's worth a read. Note, this was all written before the war started, and please don't turn this into a political thing.

    Edit: the story is too long to fit into one post sad_o.gif, you can go here if you wan't to read it.

    Sorry about that Mods, close the thread if you think it's nessessary
