    You got any pictures of that that are real? Seeing someone do it in airsoft land is hardly realistic.

    The sniper would be laden with equipment and would probably collapse and die from exhaustion, carrying a ghillie, an M4A1, an M9, and an M24SWS is pretty much impossible to do in combat conditions with full gear loads.

    And that's why you have spotters with weapons.

    You'll find that alot of airsofters would infact tell you that they would only take their sniper rifle and a sidearm into a skirmish. One guy took his P90 into a skirmish, and those are SMALL. He ended up dumping it halfway through a game due to it (a) getting in the way and (b) Adding another 3 or so kilos to his kit (It had a metal reciever and a red dot scope).

    One or more files in game instalation are modified or dammaged.

    Reinstall game from original CD disc and try again.

    Thing is, I installed it on C:\ too (the above installation atempt was for D:\) and haven't tampered with it apart from patching it up to 1.91 and it gave me the same results.

    Why are these files not on my PC?

    Manual says two, plus the two hatches.

    Its operated by one in the game, because it's an action game.

    It states in the Halo manual (I own the Xbox (superior) version) that it *usually* takes a crew of two, but SPARTAN soldiers can directly interface with the scorpion and drive and shoot at the same time.

    It'd be nice to have the option of both, though.

    I got Wing Commander when it was NEW. It had four 3.5 inch floppy disks. biggrin_o.gif

    I also had EPIC (great game, used polygons...), Simon the Sorcerer, Space Quest V, Stunts (still do), F15 Strike Eagle (ooold graphics... biggrin_o.gif)

    God, I loved the old days... when gaming was just getting good.

    Oh, and I really liked WCIV.

    I say we make a squadron.

    Sharia's shitheads. tounge_o.gif

    Nah, kidding with that name... But anyway, I think it'd be a good idea.

    (I'm getting fixed wireless broadband soon... 512kbs up 512kbs down... Which is like a hundered ZILLIONGILLION times better than 56k... crazy_o.gif )

    Try flying between buildings and cities. I flew my A-10 through one and didn't hit anything, so I got cocky and use the SU33, and tried to squeeze between two buildings...

    boom. tounge_o.gif

    Oh, and I'm capable of night time landings on carriers now. biggrin_o.gif No external views what so ever.

    Well, looking around the rafcareers site, I found two careers I'd really like to look into...

    http://www.rafcareers.com/jobs....cer.cfm

    http://www.rafcareers.com/jobs/job_files/jobfile_pilot.cfm

    Now, I know what you're thinking... "pilot?! is he crazy?!" Not really. I've always wanted to be a pilot since I was a little tiny boy... but I was too pessimistic to think about following it on...

    But, I looked at my grades, and they are SO close to what it demands for these two jobs! All I would need to do is improve my mathmatics, and I could get in for training!

    Quote[/b] ]I have gender confusion problems. (Not really...)

    Is that part of your signature relevant when it comes to your decision or not ?

    No, of course not. :P That's just a crappy little joke. I used my DnD RPG character name for my username is all. Heh. biggrin_o.gif

    Oh, and thanks for the advice, Bn880 and Hellfish... I'll take this all into consideration.

    Hi there, guys.

    This is one of the few forums I go to, and it kind of feels like home. biggrin_o.gif

    Anyway... at the moment, I am looking for what Career I want to get into. I thought about the British Army, but didn't really find anything I wanted to do... but I've been thinking about the Royal Air Force, and I found this... Weapon Technician

    What do you all think? And could you suggest other career ideas?

    Oh jesus christ. That is absolutely tasteless...

    Still, what can do you expect from a gaming magazine? They're all a bunch of immoral bastards, apart from EDGE and GAMES TM.

    Ugh... Anyway, I'm going to pass this on to a forum I go to, to show more people.

    Well, I just bumped ALL the settings to max, and put my resolution to 1600x1200 to bring you these... (Note: The SU-33 ones are at full full full detail, but the A-10a ones have full detail on planes only.)

    Someone PLEASE at least look at these. It took a good 10 minutes for my 2000xp w/ 256mb ram rig to load the mission, and then I had to take off from the carrier and endure minutes of under 10 frames per second flight! crazy_o.gif

    And yes, they're supposed to be wallpapers.

    SU-33

    The cockpit of my SU-33 Flanker D. What a lovely night.

    On a sunset such as this, I just wish my Crimson were here...

    Okay, time to get myself airborne...

    Burners lit, time to head towards the mainland.

    A little fooling around didn't hurt anyone.

    Beautiful sun, beautiful water... it'd almost a nice place to visit, if I weren't bombing the hell out of the terrain...

    Going up (version 1)

    Going up (version 2)

    I wouldn't mind building myself a little lodge somewhere in that forest...

    A-10a (Now now Shadow, I'm a guy... don't you look at me like that. biggrin_o.gif)

    My buddy, Thomas, and myself, Thomas. Yes... we have the same name.

    Banking left.

    After the rather ridiculous "What do you get when you cross Saddam Hussein with Michael Jackson" joke, all I could do was stare at him.

    Time to gain some altitude...

    Goodbye, Mr. Tunguska...

    ScreenShot_006.jpg

    No ammo, no missiles... calls for very, very desperate measures.

    The aftermath.

    The aftermath... part 2.

    ScreenShot_018.jpg

    Two MIG29's used by a Russian display team collide in mid air. Both the pilots ejected safely. The pilot of the 1st MIG stayed in his cockpit for a short time to keep the doomed aircraft away from the onlooking crowd.

    I was thinking more along the lines of a car battery, and then electricuting prisoners of war for interrogation purposes...

    Oh, and avon has given me the idea of creating a massed army of duracel bunnies, to take over nogova and it's surrounding islands... tounge_o.gif
