have the helicopter start on the ground with however many squads you want to try fit in it nearby. helicopter's first waypoint set to TALK, and then theres three boxes with min, mid and max, and something about time. if you put all three box's to 30, the chopper will wait on the ground doing nothing for 30 seconds, before moving to the next waypoint. this is ample time for the lads to get on. for the squads, add a waypoint by clicking ontop of the chopper and setting it as "get in". then add another waypoint (seach and destroy) or whatever and put that over where you want them to go after the chopper drops them off. i think that makes sense.

YEAH IM FULLY TUFF I BEAT UP HEDS WIF BIG AXE N STUFF I NO NEED GUN I MARCH FOR 1203 DAYS STRAIT! I HAVE BIG HED AND CAN HED BUT BADIES TO DETH. I JOIN NAVEY DOLFENS! DOLFENS ARE BETTER THAN SEELS. DOLFENS CARRY 1 TUN ON THEIR BACKS! so there.

wobble, if the govt denies they exist, what are you basing your info on? i reckon my green and yellow plastic army men could beat up any army in the whole world!!!!!!!! RAH!

I made a mission yesterday, where 3 mi-17's (not grouped) fly in to pick up three russian infantry groups just south of a small village. the choppers overshot where they were meant to pick up my guys, and each one headed off to the north east of the village, with the three squads of infantry in hot pursuit. by the time i got to the other side of the village, i saw something that if i knew how, would have made a great screen shot. the first mi-17 had picked its landing spot and landed, picking up its crew. the second chopper had picked the same landing spot, and was about to land on the top of the other. the third also picked the same landing spot, and started to land on top of the second. this lasted for about 10 seconds before they all blew up, killing all 3 squads of over keen infantry. i aborted this mission plan then and there.

money and control = politics. theres not much more to politics, other than cigars and sex.

i don't know shite about this, but aren't ghurkas meant to be the best at jungle combat? or are they just normal soldier types with a big reputation?? i dunno.

language doesn't cause wars. It causes me to end up in the wrong place when catching a taxi. religion and politics are now the only reasons I am aware of for war..

This has probably been discussed before, but as most of you probably know, that small grey shed with the slanted roof and a single window, has a picture of a face in it...Who the hell is it?? Out of everything in this game, that, and the christmas trees that appeared all over the place on christmas day have freaked me out.

The one I first noticed it in was on Malden, Co-ords Fi 17. There is a small shed near the northen entrance to this little base. A shed is just a small building i suppose. I've seen others of these around, some connected to make what appears to be a longer shed, each with the same pic in it.... Strange... but true!

I agree that they are completely different games and can't really be compared. MOH:AA had some missions that at least to me were completly original. I didn't think much of it was easy, and I had to reload a lot for some missions, especially the last one. I was impressed with the sniper mission once i got into the tower and had to stop them blowing the bridge, but that was short lived really. And I loved how when the alarm was going, guards kept on spawning and running around into me waiting with the mg42. Sadistic maybe, but still fun. long term value though is obviously ofp for me, but yeah - thats because its a different game with more options through the editor etc.... OH and the biggest thing that shit me off about Hidden and Dangerous was the whole "Oh shit I fell off a hill that was 1ft off the ground and I died again!"

oh. obvious answer i suppose, but i had no idea what he looked like. if that was my toilet, id have a better lookin picture than that on the wall!

What I mean is, the US government gets itself into just about any global situation it possibly can, or so it seems. Peace talks between any two countries have some american deligate or another, even if these two places are quite removed from america, and at least apparently, their policies. The US government continually involves itself in situations where other nations feel they have no place, especially the middle east. Anti-americanism there is enourmas, and more than just an angy mob burning flags etc.. If you think the smart arses on here count for something, you are wrong. These nations, if you actually listen to their side as well as the side presented by the US government, are quite right in hating the US. But that is propaganda, and it is impossible to know which side is really telling the truth, which most likely lies somewhere in the middle. Americans are on the news. on the tele. In books, magazines, and papers. Local competition struggles and for lengthy periods of time we hear of nothign else other than what goes on in america. is it any suprise that people dont like the US a great deal?? a lot of this is starting to not make sense and my typing is getting worse, but its 4:30am and I am almost drunk.

in one mission of ofp, I cant remember what number, but the one were you parachute out of the helicopter and lead your squad into a russian base, beat off the counter attack and then attack a second base with an empty tank... the empty tank had its crew standing around it. One of the crew was standing between the tank and a building you cant access. As I opened fire, this tank crew member hit the dirt and dissappeared into the buidling. He couldnt get out, and I couldn;t get in.... I could see him standing in there using the control camera thing.... this happened on three occassions before I managed to kill him before he hit the dirt... (destroying the building didnt help either) on another mission, I got stuck in the angled bit of the house that has the attic and couldnt get out. that sucked.

That bridge would look extremely out of place in any of the islands!!!! Talking about bridges brings up another point.... THERE IS NO RUNNING WATER ON ANY OF THE ISLANDS. If you want bridges, they must cross something. Quiet village to village roadways would not warrant an over pass. Bridges must cross water if it is to be realistic (Even if it is crossing a canyon, there is normally running water at the bottom??). I want bridges. It would be brilliant. But you'd need running water, and basically a new island. And railways, like someone else said. The two would create a million more scenario's.... (Insert random anti-american slogans here to turn this thread into a yank-bash)

My anti-american posts?? I think you've misinterpreted what I was saying... Posts I made in relation to the inteligence one about the SAS were actual, not made up and not biased, and I personally couldn't really give a stuff. If you get offended by what is posted on a board, you need to get control of your emotions. It is a text message board, and you will most likely never meet the people you are posting to. So why let them even influence one moment of your life? You are whinging about the anti - americanism's on this board. I've read the same post from you, or a version of it, on what seems like a whole bunch of threads. From what I've seen, the posts are border line anti-american, maybe about something to do with policy or perceptions, and not worthy of a temper tantrum. Some are out right slags, and some you seem to have interpreted them as being so when they are probably written in innocence.. I might see if i can turn that one about bridges into an anti american one for you if you like. Just for a laugh

I thought the war of independance sort of quashed any ideas that the english and americans were 'brothers'? Even going back to the world wars, theres nothing major there that indicates brotherhood. At the start of WW1 america was selling arms to both sides (And no im not putting shit on you, just making a point). "the majority of you English folk on here take ANY chance you can to bash our country,a nd its truely sad" followed by "And I'm sure the majority of the English pricks will be glad to see more good Americans go, simply because they think it will make this a better forum" Now looking at that from a third party, Australian, and I dont consider myself to be brothers with either side, I can see why the world takes so much fun in putting shit on americans... America is so big and does so many things to put shit on, let alone american people who think they are so big and do things to put shit on. I thought by now, you would be able to accept that as being a "world power" and having your apparent life styles broadcast into our homes everyday, you'd be used to being the butt of jokes... but yours and wobbles reactions basically reinforce everyone elses perceptions of what american people are like.. you will hardly change anything by saying stuff like "every dickhead from england stereotypes us poor americans".... contradiction maybe? twist it as you will.

I bought OFP. Played it as often as I could over a fairly long period, and took ages to finish it. I then started stuffing around with the mission editor, but without web access, I had no idea what I was doing, and none of the great custom made stuff that you can get now (well custom patterns). I still play it a lot just stuffing around with the mission editor, blowing stuff up never gets boring. If it does, work out a new way to do it. I bought Ghost recon. Played it till i finished it, which took maybe a day or three. I was very disappointed with the mission structure and even the story line, but I found the game play was okay, even if it tended to be easier if you went rambo style, and the whole specialist idea took a lot out of the character of the game. After finishing it, i played the single player rogue spear style terrorist hunt type games which sucked and were completely boring and useless. I lent the game to a friend and havent played it since. In terms of value for money, long term playability and impact on my time infront of the computer, there is no way that ghost recon compares to ofp. BTW- all media companies receive 'fringe benefits' from the things they are reveiwing. Restraunt writers eat free, wine tasters drink free, games reveiwers get games free, sports people go to sports things free... AS LONG AS THEY WRITE NICE SHIT IN THEIR ARTICLE. Ghost recon people must have given them more incentives to like their product..........................

I was seven. And I have no idea what I was doing then. Infact, I am 23, and have no idea what I am doing now. Only reason I got depressed was when i had to turn down the graphics levels to make it run smoothly.

I'm not much of a military know it all, but I'd guess that the british SAS would not broadcast to the world what they do at all, whether training or real life. I seriously doubt that the brit's their best troops deployed there and they are doing nothing with them.. As for the SAS's favourite television shows, when Australia was deploying our SAS to the Gulf war (In which we were apparently only doing search and rescue, but a brit sas officer said something along the lines of "if they are anything like our guys, they'll be doing a fair bit more than just that" with a bit of a wink) the media were not allowed to publish anything identifying them at all. the press took photo's of them at the beach, with all the officers standing with their backs to the camera. They take their shit pretty seriously and quietly...... No need to get the shits though

I know of a few uses of the word.... Nipper - young person (Most likely) Nipper - young life guard (Not likely) Nipper - Chinese person As for the road rules, surely there is a website that will tell you out there somewhere. I am from Australia, so I can't help with either countries road rules.

WOW spot the yank It was the british SAS after all that came out and said they were withholding information from the US due to them believing that the US was a security leak. The example given was the US going to press on chasing Osama through his mobile phone tri-angulantions, and shortly after that, Osama stopped using it. That could be only a little bit of the story, but hey, i saw it on the news, so it must be true.

Umm, a timorese flag? I think you are confused - the timorese were the ones getting masacred. They didn't have an army or anything like that. Just a corrupt police force that was bribed by or too scared of the militia, or were actually onside with the militia, meaning the people were unarmed and useless. I think the guy that started this thread has no clue if he thinks australians would be offended by it, but oh well. Its all fun and GAMES!

But the rest of the world got it... If the east timorese would be offended, (I dont really think they would be. For the moment at least the massacres have stopped, and would occur before the game actually begins, seeming that we responded to them), lets not sell it to them! simple. (Maybe the east timorese would like an opportunity to shoot some militia??)

Ok. As far as I recall, the origins of the east timor conflict lie around genocide, with the indonesian backed group slaughtering the timorese people, and the australian troops moving in to prevent the slaughter etc. etc. Nothing that has not been seen since the beginning of time to a variety of people, sparking millions of books, games, films, cartoons, and whatever elses you can think of. If the game was based on nothing else than the actual encounters, you'd have missions based on a few skirmishes with no casualties to the Australians or their allies (I think?), with the closest combat casualty we had being an SAS soldier seriously injured in an ambush (who managed to return fire and kill his attacker after being hit at close range with an ak47 or similar). It would have Australian troops moving in and taking major areas very quickly but with minimal conflict. It would then have the massive rebuilding and humanitarian efforts. One of the biggest skirmishes that I recall being in the media was between the indonesian militia and a patrol of ghurkas, but i dont recall there being any casualties or any real purpose to it. (militia border incursion, but going where?) And even though it appears the guy who started this thread isnt reading the replies at the moment or any more, I'm Australian, and from what I understand, what we did was a GOOD thing, and with a few beefed up missions would potentially make a good game. How could it be considered offensive to anyone? other than maybe the several thousand surviving east timorese? and I dont think that is their main target audience. If it is offensive, should german people be offended with games like wolfenstein?

What? Who cares? The REAL issue is, how old would their gardners milk man be? And how much has the price of eggs really risen between the conflicts??
