Now there's professionalism for you...

I'm really looking forward to fighting around those trees and those buildings. They look really cool...

Exactly. After all, I remember all the people who complimented Soldner on this feature when it first appeard. Because if you wanted to snipe, you could go up on a hillside some way from the main battle and kill noobs from up there, without being punished for leaving the 'operational area'. That is the trouble with BF style games.

I don't get it!?!

Umm, EA aren't a developer, they are a PUBLISHER...

PR = Public Relations

I know that NV will be in the game, but I was just wondering if it would be possible to have IR goggles in the game too, for close-quarters urban fighting and stuff. Just wondering if someone could mod this in or something...

Yeah I remember now. I was stood in a tent with the guy who was showing me his goggles. My brother-in-law stood outside the tent and I used them to watch him through the wall of the tent. The background was grey and he (my brother-in-law) showed up white...

But IR/Thermal goggles do exist? I'm sure I've used them in the past in real life...

Yeah, that would indeed help with identifying targets using the b/w system. What about goggles worn by infantry in the field though? PS - Thanks for the imput guys, very interesting stuff to read...

So come on. Someone fill me in on whether they use colour IR or not...

Man, who do you think we are with that kind of money? Bill Gates or something?

I prefer the colour one. It's just easier for me to see. Not sure if that's realistic or not though.

Yeah, that sort of thing for tanks would be cool  We had that in some of the tanks in Soldner, and it came in very useful...

Yeah me too...

Hehe, thanks for the lesson. Â Yeah, I mean thermal imaging, so you have the blue background and the heat shows up red/orange/yellow... Â

Agreed!!!

To be honest I reckon the next big piece of news we will hear will be that BIS have found a publisher. It has to be soon if they still want to reach their H1 2006 release date...

Now that would be sweet...

They don't have iron-sights for guns? I thought this was a war simulator?

Yeah, I could do without that too... Â PS - As long as we are allowed to use iron-sights...

So, so true!!!

But would a soldier in the battlefield really care if he was 'comfortable' or not, or if he had creepy-crawlies all over him? I think he would be more concerned about taking a 7.62mm round to the head. I know I certainly would...

We had this discussion when I did beta testing for Soldner - Secret Wars. Â It is perfectly feasible to fire an AT weapon whilst laying down. Â As stated above, the firer bears his weapon at a certain angle to avoid the back-blast. I don't think it's unrealistic at all to be able to fire these weapons in any stance... Â

Hidden & Dangerous 2 has a system like the weight one. If you decide to carry an AT weapon, that really adds weight to you, and it slows you down...
