I think the tracer fire is great, i don't think there is too much. For me itsw an invaluable help, and it also looks cool at night having shilkas trying to wax you. 27. Last night i played on that destroy the bridge mission and there was this enemy squad crawling across it, abut strangly some crawled right off it and died. Similarily, the bmp drove right off it and had to swim its way to its large bucket of rpg hurt. I feared this would happen to my squad (not one of them had been killed btw ) and so i had to do all the blowing up myself The bridge seems a bit dodgy

JUst want to say - Resistance kicks ass, i haven't had so much fun in opf for ages. now the niggles (hopefully no one has pointed them out) 23. It'd be pretty cool if vehicles didn't sink into the ground. My first impressions of opfr sucked because in cut scenes, stuff looked like it'd been half buried. 24. Fix the mission bugs. I had to use that cheat to get past occupation for example Otherwise, everything is a mssive improvement. the terrain especially kicks ass, it looks great, especially seeing tanks rocket down the bumpier slopes bouncy bouncy The missions kick ass too, and all the new stuff is cool. Hopefully one day they'll make the other islands like nogova (add the realistic terrain). Its the first game i haven't bought on pirate for ages and its well worth the money

This is the same with RPG's. I can understand why sabots don't have splash damage (try HEAT's) but you'd have thought rpg's would kill a few infantry if you fired into a group. On that occupation mission, where you see the big line of ruskies walking around the base, i fired an rpg dead center into the line and only 2 of them died

Â Some of us don't have Resistance yet?<span id='postcolor'> I can't get screenshots because all my games are on a different computer Trust though, it is there i'm sure some opf sites will have some soon. When you get it, just hop in a chopper, fly up near those 2 mountains, and you can't miss them.

I'm on this mission (i can't remember the name) and i believe i've finsihed it, but it won't end. You start having to take out a mansion type building, to provide a safe route for your tank support, then you move down to the base. I have 8 guys left, all standing in the base, every russian is dead, we have gone all over the place in the bmp 2, gone through the woods (quickly though) and we haven't been shot at since we killed the last dude coming from the first counter attack. I've tried this mission twice now, and in both time i was in the same situation and the mission didn't end. anyone else have this problem (in the objectives btw i have the 1st objective done, second not done, 3rd done and the 4th not done). Please take my word that there are no people hiding behind walls on behind bushes on the surrounding hills.

For a long time now i've been noticing my opf roads are naffed up. They seem ok, but then they get the occasional green triangle flickering. This has got much worse since i got resistance. Anyone know what is going on and how i can fix it? I'm using a 64mb Geforce 2. Using 1064x768 (or whatever that one is), D3D, with lots of graphics details turned up high. Visual quality is high but not the max, and the LOD's are the defaults

At least fucking Rivaldo didn't score any. Go Ronaldo and Ronaldinho but not Rivaldo!!!!

Maybe because it's ok to do whatever to USA ,but if usa tries to spy on anyone they are wrong and there should be a protest,and likes not forget to add them sanctions.Because we all know the usa is the big gaint evil guy on the block just picking on everyone else.

I say pretty damn good.<span id='postcolor'> I don't care if China spies on america and vice versa as in having spies in each others countries. Its just the USA are the ones flying aircraft about the place. I think they do this because they want China to attack them. I think this is exactly what the US are doing in Iraq - they fly planes around, begging to be shot down, so that when they do they can justify going in and saving the world. If they're gonna spy, they should at least have some subtlety about it. I can see this spy plane problem escalating and china getting pretty pissed off about it. Afghanistan is going good but america still bombs the odd red cross building or groups of british tanks in these latest of conflicts. I think america does basically say to nations like china: ''Hey look, we're the most powerful nation in the world, so if you wanna camplain about us sending planes about the place and getting involved in all your affairs, then you can fuck right off, because we could fucking crush you're pathetic, poor, economically underdeveloped, laughable compared to america nation like dogs''. Obviously they do this a bit more quietly Plus, i'd just like to add - just because i don't like the way America treats other countries in the world doesn't mean i hate american civilians or america in general. You just assume that i do because it allows you to whinge about everyone hating america because they are the bestest nation in the world.

Doesn't look like a real baby besides, its not like everyone didn't know that the average Palestinian bloke would be tremendously happy to send his daughter/son into isreal with bombs strapped to them, given that the palestinians are sick fucks anyway. It wouldn't suprise me if a palestinian women walked into a isreali place with her palestinian baby in a pram....

suppose i'm the only person who hasn't yet completed the last mission then Personally, seeing all those cavalry charging at my army send me into a morale deficiancy and as a result my tactics fuck up Methinks this will be the best rts for the next few years,. just like shogun The best bit about the game is probably bombarding the walls, and having the walls fall on top of enemy troops mass death or what

call your daughter Barry and your Son Michelle. Its morally wrong but it'd be pretty interesting to see the results

To me it just doesnt make sense that life has no meaning and that we live by chance...... I am not joking but God saved me, he healed me and did miracles in my life. Let me share this one with u. My parents are from nigeria but as we lived in italy we went there on vacation every 1nce in awhile. When I went there I got celebral malaria and I went into a coma. (This is Nigeria we r talking about remember). My dad told me that the overheard the doctor talking with the nurse saying that I was done. My mum gathered many and many ppl to pray for my healing and I got healed. If this happened in a 1st world country I would have thought that medicine saved me, but I know that God did. It was in coma for 4 days btw, so I wasnt sleeping or anything.

Religion makes people feel special, and in order to maintain this feeling that you are indeed above other people (because god loves you) you dedicate your life to the cult, hence making your life worse (since you won't do anything you feel will make god hate you - which is pretty much everything). I mean, if was god, and some dude dedicated his life to him and payed for my messengers (vicars, popes etc...) ivory backscratchers i wouldn't send that dude to hell just because he thought of stealing a pen from work. btw - let me share this one with you. I once had a tooth ache, a really, really bad tooth ache. My mum, being a ex-dentist, told me i would definatly need to see a dentist about it to get it sorted out. I didn't see a dentist. In fact, the whole thing was gone in under 2 days. Did god get rid of my toothache? obviously he did because my mum in all her wisdom said i HAD to go the dentist. Actually, i didn't even consider god cured me, in fact, the thought never even came close to entering my mind. Simply because i think this god idea is a load of bollox. Despite the fact i had a 'miraculous' recovery from my toothache.

The NATO military has Artillery, Bombers, Gunships, Cruise missles... all to destroy enemy aircraft on the ground - the safest place to hit a fighter. So what is the point of having F-22's if another fighter, at about a 6th of the price, can take on all those *sarcasm* incredibly nasty iraqi Mig-21's as well as destroy ground targets? The only use for a F-22 is against bigger nations anyway. It seems we're just fighting middle eastern and asian countries - in these cases F-15's, 16's and 18's do the job just fine. The eurofighter as well will be ample to take on any Russian made equipment as well. The fact is, the F-22 may be the snazziest piece of kit the USA have ever produced, but the fact is it is a complete waste of 100-200million dollars, given that it doesn't really fit into NATO tactics, and that there is still no competition in the world for a good ol' F-15 (considering the sukhois haven't been mass produced really). We all know the USA squander money on pointless shite, but the fact remains, it would be more effective and efficient to buy 6 F-15's for 200million rather than a single F-22. The F-22 lacks the flexibility to justify its cost. It is, quite simply, utterly useless. The JSF isn't, and i think everyone would be wise to invest in these rather than the overrated F-22.

Eurofighter? Gripen? F-15? You name 'em, I listen  <span id='postcolor'> Well, i dunno where this thread has gone since, but i like to study the odd poiece of military hardware. All yanks will say that the F-22 is the god of all fighters, and, lets face it, it is, probably no aircraft can go toe to toe with an F-22. Well, the F-22 is pretty useless. All military airforces are going for the whole destroy aircraft while they are on the ground type of thing. NATO has great air power to do this incredibly successfully. The F-22 in itself is strictly air to air. It does have air to ground capability, but, its in no way better than an F-15 at taking out ground targets. The conclusion - the F-22 will be 200million dollar flying eye candy. As always, the daft yanks will build thousands of them anyway simply because it looks pretty good, but the fact remains it will probably never be used for its intended purpose - to shoot down enemy aircraft in the air. Even then it is overkill, F-15 and F-16's can still do that job very effectivly. Unless the US declare war on China, Europe, Russia - a force that can actually retaliate with large numbers of fighters - the F-22 is, in two words, fucking useless, and also a waste of money. As with much yank equipment, i think it was just designed to show the world that the yanks are better at making fighters than everyone else, because it doesn't really serve any other purpose that older aircraft do not. Plus, people have been debating the effectiveness of stealth for ages, it is after all, pretty easy to detect them so long as you know what you're doing and you have specialised equipment. Most combat will be done BVR from now on, if there ever will be combat air to air between fighters again. As such, i think all ofd these aircraft are pretty similar, the F-22 has its stealth, which gives it an advantage, but its debatable how big an advantage it is. I think its the russians who lead the way it fucking up stealth, i read somewhere they're working on radar that goes after heat signitures and stuff really effectivly. My conclusion - all these next generation fighters are pretty much the same - the F-22 wins the top trumps contest for being stealthy, but thats cancelled out because it costs 3 times more than a SU-30 or eurofighter. The Sukhoi series gets muchos extra points for flexibility (Air to Air, BVR, Dogfighting, AWACs, dedicated Air to Ground....). The eurofighter has some mean BVR weapons though.
