You should seriously try to get oxygen to put that thing in game. Looks great

What the hell are you all talking about "Sidearms aren't realistic"? Â The US army issues sidearms to officers and many NCO's carry them as well. Â There must be some point to having them if the military is giving them to us, and if they have them in real life why not have them in your "realistic" game"? You all either didn't think out your responses or you're just stupid. I'm all for the addition of sidearms.

My problem with GR isn't the graphics or animations, I hate the lack of control over your team. In OFP you can control your men down to some fine details, like where to set up, where to aim, who to target, where to stop, which men to move with you, etc, while in GR your team just follows along behind you like a lost puppy dog and sits out in the open. I actually kind of prefer the GR graphics though. Just has shitty gameplay.

"One thing that buges me about the M2 is that it does the same damage as a 5.56 rifle, in reality it would leave a massive hole in you." I disagree. The m2 can kill people in one hit in ofp, whereas the 5.56mm weapons take multiple hits. Also, in reality, the .50 cal wouldn't just leave a massive hole. It would tear you to pieces. A few .50 rounds into a person can leave them a pile of flesh. BIS probably didnt want to add in that extra gore and animations. I also believe it is illegal to shoot people with .50 cal rounds because of the severe damage they can cause. They are made for antimaterial use, but when it comes down to it soldiers will disregard that rule. What I'm getting at is that technically you shouldn't be shooting people with the m2 in the first place.

"A Berretta would b awesome to the officers instead of a M16.. " What the hell are you talking about, "instead of"? Officers in the US military carry an m16/m4 and a berretta as their sidearm.

The US army still uses the m60 and the m240 despite the existence and use of the m249. I think the problem is that they didn't give the m60 very realistic characteristics in the game so the SAW would probably be just as good if not better. My m249 addon is better than the default m60 I'd say.

I've made an m249 addon. It uses the PK model but I gave it as realistic characteristics as possible. I love it. I use it all the time. It's actually a modification of STEELE's m249 with some tweaking because his wasn't realistic at all. If you'd like I could email it to you. mine has the same hit power as the m16 since they use the same ammo, realistic 725 rpm, the m16 iron sites since they most closely resemble the SAW's, and new sounds (from RED's weapon pack) I too wait for an official m249 addon. But until then mine will do.

I'm almost positive that the osprey project was scrapped. It's had numerous test crashes causing at least 19 deaths. I know of at least 3 crashes. Why add a unreliable and most likely none existant vehicle to the game? Unless maybe you said it was a stolen prototype or something. But then you'd have to make it crash within the first mission it was used to make it realistic. I'm just not seeing why you all want it so badly. It doesn't fit into the game.

Didn't the osprey get scrapped because it was unstable? That's what I've heard anyway. I don't think I'd want to use one. Besides, what would the osprey do in game that the UH-60 can't? Doesn't seem like it would add much to gameplay.

you can script the m2 in ofp onto the hummer. It looks and worlks quite well except the gunner draws a ton of fire. I've attached m2's to a lot of the vehicles. It's quite fun having an armed convoy. The only problem I've noticed with it is that the hummer can't go very fast when you do this. Other than that it works great. Putting an m2 on a tank on the other hand doesnt seem to slow the tank down much at all.

I've been working on a bhd mission for a while now. It's proving quite difficult for my lack of editing and scripting skills but it's coming along. I hope to have a few screen shots of it in the not too distant future. Waiting on some addons to come out first. I'll probably post them at the ofp editing center though. "The lowdown is that BHD is really a huge battle with all the blood and guts like Saving Private Ryan. If you are into battles with no other nonsense, than this is a movie for you. I'm that kind of person and I really enjoyed it. " You kinda missed the whole point didn't you? I'm guessing you've never served or your all of 15.

You may not use the pistol often but it isn't only a cqb weapon. All military officers are issued a pistol and many enlisted personel use them too. It's a backup weapon. Search around on the web for addons. I've seen sites with rotary shotgun addons and there is the m16 with shotgun mounted underneath addon. it can be found at ofpeditingcenter.

why do people want the huey when we already have the far more advanced black hawk?

NOONE, A suggestion for the grenades to get back on topic. They should be weaker than they are in the original ofp. If you throw a hand grenade into a squad in ofp, they all go down. Thats just silly. If anything there should be maybe a death or 2 and some injuries. Possibly even less than that.
