Darkhorse 1-6

This was the one you sent me right? I won't be getting PR so I guess I'll just have to use the Alpha for Screenshots.

One of the French mods had alot of Female soldiers, they looked good, on par with AII models, if not better.

Same here. I hope like hell this isn't the end of the community, though I suspect it might be.

^ Type 23 may come through eventually... ;)

Its not the uploader, wouldn't it be the file when its rar-ed?

Oh I have no doubt that he broke the record, but he did it with a modern rifle, with all the advancements that were made to rifles and ammunition in those 35 years. I just think that if they were shooting the same rifle, at the same sized target from the same range, Carlos would have come out better. He was one hell of a marine. OT: Weren't there Canadians in Iraq in the first year or two? I thought you guys were a part of the coalition.

They cannot dictate what the community does. The community can not steal or edit their work, but if members of the community want to host their own server, PR cannot stop them. They can declare Official Servers, but they can't stop unofficial ones. @Gaz: I agree with most of that, the only thing that I am trying to say, is you cannot limit who hosts your mod. You can limit who hosts your mission, but you cannot limit the mod unless you never publicly release.

Pffft. Canadians. I haven't like your snipers since your countrymen claimed your man was better than Hathcock. I had 3 Canadians argue with me for an hour on that, and they ended up going the "I'm a 10 year old, i'm right and your wrong" route by tking and teabagging me. Over. And over. And over.

My personal solution is to wedge a 25mm round (From a Bradley) with the business end on the key, and the back end resting against the front of my monitor. *I am not kidding*

That's what I was saying. They cannot prevent the community from hosting their mod, but they can only release their mission to the official servers. The only way to not allow public servers would be to create a closed community. In ArmA II, if you download something, you can host a server on your machine to play with friends. PR can't change that, because that's how the game works. What they CAN do is create "Official" servers that run the PR missions and play with PR approved admins, and make sure that the "Unofficial" servers do not have access to these missions and scripts.

The T-72 does have it in RL. There are many different variants of the T-72 though, so probably 80-90% of the variants don't have it.

^ You can't get anybody other than Rocket to port it. Also, USEC is very private, so I doubt they will release it again.

Try Armaholic?

The only thing that you can restrict are your custom missions. If you release your mod, anybody who plays ArmA II-CO can download it, and then create their own local server to play with their friends, or their clan can use the mod for their own, non PR missions. CC shouldn't come into play here, because if you release a mod for ArmA II/CO, then the ArmA II/CO community can play it however they like. They cannot open it up and edit anything, but they can play with the mod enabled on whatever server they wish. You can make it where there are Official servers, and non-offical ones, where only the first get access to your missions and any scripts they include, but you cannot release your mod, and then say "You can only play this mod on these servers". That is not how this community works. IIRC you had a deal with EA/DICE to prevent groups from starting non-official servers, but you must understand that that was BF2. What works there not only won't work here, but will piss alot of people off if you attempt to force it to work.

Tanya?! "Shake it, baby!" :D I thank you, as do the Allied Powers, for bringing Special Agent Adams into the fight. ;)

Do not bring that into here man, we already know that, and the only reason that happened is because BIS simply copied and pasted the M1A1 into OA, and repainted it. That is why the USMC M1A1 gets Thermal, not because BIS wanted to give A2 Blufor an advantage. Agreed. I voted Yes, but I do not think that every single Takistani vehicle should have Thermal if a TI variant exists. The T-72, the BMP-2 (Does any RL variant have it?) and a select few should get it, that's all. @Celery, I hope you realize that this discussion needs to be about OA only. Bringing AII up to OA standards is a whole other story.

Wrong. If somebody downloads the mod, there is nothing they can do to stop people from hosting servers on it. They can make their own Official Server(s), but they can't stop clans/groups from hosting it if they want to.

I think I would like some as well. :eek:

Why bring the Russians back? They have been in every BIS game so far, i'm getting tired of that. Hopefully the next evolution of ArmA will be against the Chinese, or even the United States vs *random european country here* or anything else other than the Russians or the Takiban.

It is also true that those who look too hard begin to see things that are not there. ;)

All in favor say FPDR

It shouldn't.

Sad as in, it's sad that the only available picture of that setup is on a toy. :P

From a toy? That's epic, but it may also be sad. :p Oh, and Happy Birthday Nixo.

The editable form of the model, which we cannot get because they are a part of the game. It is technically possible to get the mlod, but doing so would be illegal and would get the person who did it banned.
