ok rap, if it was luck then it very lucky to be able to play a 30min game and maybe get 25-30kills from this tactic. cheating, yer im same as you here, i wouldnt know how and thirdly, my comp is plenty fast enough, as are the rest of my squads...and for lag to be happening as you explain it would have to affecting the whole of my squad at the same time.

Rap about OFP

someone should mmake a rap video with the tank guy MC Hammer

Someone's been watching 8 mile? in fact do soldiers during war at ease moments rap to pass the time or anything, or just read books?

internet, GW1 & 2, 9-11, Bush jr && sr, fall of Berlin wall and cold war's end. hip-hop and rap, better cars and better dresses, all the movies he missed, all the celebs, all the change in laws, rules, and the list goes on and on.

I didnt remember the Barber's adagio was present in Platoon , ok : i saw this movie only one time in my life, years and years ago Time for watching it a second time i think ;) Between the string and the choir version , my preference goes for the choir one , there is more feeling in it and it seems more deep. A great music , that gives a lot of atmosphere to describe a specific situation I will try to find this somewhere , i always hated techno and rap musics, maybe there is a chance this one can make me to reconsider my position , even if i highly doubt it

Actually , because of the rap-techno-rave and other stupid things ( ) proliferation , usa is living his last century. Beware the day where you will find only those awfull musics , because you wil not have a defense against them anymore !!!

Some of the Seventh songs were very interesting for some of my own created mission. Especially Lifeless. I hope to see some good productions from Seventh in OFP2 . I will prefer that instead of rap/techno and these modern "MTV songs" etc... Â that my ears can 't tolerate . Classic music and eastern themes were good in OFP too and add to the atmosphere in some of my mission, i hope to see same kind of great choice in OFP2

I know that you can have a config.bin inside your island's pbo, but what can you actually do with this file? All I have ever really seen in user made islands is this: raP AddOnsOpt\IslandName\config.bin Does anyone know what this line actually does, and can the uses of a config.bin for islands actually do much? Like executing scripts, setting/searching for variables, etc etc? Please post if you've tried it.....

A reality check </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">War ousts sex, music in Web searches LONDON, England (Reuters) -- War toppled sex and music as the most popular search term among Web users as the conflict in Iraq captured the attention of the online crowd. "Iraq" knocked female country music group "Dixie Chicks" out of the top spot on Yahoo's Buzz Index of popular search terms among U.S. Internet users. The Dixie Chicks sank on the Yahoo index behind Iraq and rising rap singing star "50 Cent." The country group Dixie Chicks have had their chart-topping songs, including current number one single "Travelin' Soldier", pulled from many U.S. radio playlists after they criticized President Bush's war plans in Iraq. The Iraq conflict has also apparently lowered libidos of online Britons, top Internet service Freeserve said. "War was our top search term today, taking over from perennial favorites -- sex, Britney [spears] and travel," said Nadia Schofield, a spokeswoman for Freeserve, the U.K.'s largest Internet service provider. Sites such as Freeserve track day-to-day changes in popular search terms as a means of following changing fashions on the Web. Sex-related terms have long dominated the most searched-for subjects on the Web. <span id='postcolor'>

After seeing all the anti-MTV replies, I don't think that there's a whole lot to be concerned about. Everyone here seems to think about the 'unknown dumb majority' but they fail to realise that they have alot in common with alot of people that don't post here. That's understandable though, we can't read people's minds,...........yet. Yes, there are crass, materialistic, and shallow people out there, but I don't think that they are as numerous as we like to think. Or maybe MTV and things like it really do represent the downfall of western civilisation. Who knows? I will agree with you guys on a number of thing's though. Young kids today do dress like they are going to apear in a GAP commercial, or a rap video, and young girl's clothes are getting more and more revealing. When I was that age, jogging pants were all the rage and there was only a couple of fat people at our school. We I was young, me and my buddies would hike about 4k to go out to the back 40 and play soldiers with our paintballguns and playdough 'C4'. Today, there are video games for that, which is unfortunate. Parents should tell their kids what their 'culture' is all about. Change the myth, and the values will follow. Oh yeah, MTV sucks anyway, Much Music actually plays music, but even that is getting too 'poppy' nowadays. I miss the mid '90's when they played good 'ol Canadian rock. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">On an entirely unrelated note, I'm going through some old albums (Credence Clearwater, etc.) and I realize that the music today really sucks which is probably the strongest reason that we need a protracted conflict in Asia: makes for good tunes <span id='postcolor'> LOL, so true. Why do I always think of doing helo inserts when I hear CCR? BTW, Undergrads is a good show Tovarish, ever see 'Mission Hill'? Tyler

The reason MTV has opted to play so much non music related crap is because they have multiple other channels to cater to that. Mainly is MTV2, which is music 24 hours a day, and nothing else. There are also a bunch of smaller mtv networks which are dedicated to certain music. My favorite is MTVx, whic my friend has at his house, 24 hours of METAL!!!! But anyways.... </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">A second subdivision of the show only caters to afro-americans..so you basically only see (excuse that expression) black participants in a wannabe-queens environment.<span id='postcolor'> That statement is not true. First, let me say i hate the show, and can't stand it. And second, i don't think its on in the US anymore, the new thing is Taildaters. But anyways. That is not true. Its not a "subdivision" where they only have balck people on there. Actually, i've seen episodes where it was pretty racially diverse. Not once have i seen anything in which it was put off to the side to show black people. I mean, i watch MTV occaisionally, and one of the main reasons i don't is because its so full of this bubblegum pop shit, and rap and R&B. Thats just not my thing. Considering they have this playing most of the time, i doubt they would have to purposely try and put black people on, thats just dumb. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">You wanna know what a racist channel is ? It's called BET,Black Entertainment Television.I wonder what would happen if some white guy made WET(white Entertainment Television). <span id='postcolor'> I have to agree with that statement, in sorts. In no way am i racist, or do i let it bother me when other people are, i have my beliefs, and if others want to be ignorant, that is there problem. But if someone made a channel called White Entertainment Television, no matter what was on the channel, no matter what kind of shows they played, it would become engulfed in controversy, simply because it pushes white culture. But again, its perfectly alright for black people to do it. There is also a show on aroun 5am called "The Black Forum". Its a small show where 4-5 black people of power, politicians, musicians, celebrities, get together and discuss world issues, with a black perspective. Same example here, if a show came out called "The White Forum", no matter what the discussions were made up of, it would be flamed and torn apart by the media, simply because of the name. I'm not trying to start a whole other topic here, but i find that disgusting. Its ok for blacks to seperate themselves from white people to form there own "clique" worldwide. But if white people even attempt it, they are automatically racist and biggots. This is a double standard that has no place in todays world. I only wish i had a better and bigger way to express my voice because as we all know, discussing such things on an OFP forum isn't going to do much. And if you decide to, for some reason, flame me at all, just remember my statements are NOT racist in the least. Simply observations of reality.

evis it's a Counterstrike custom skin made for the awp. rap

this addon is not the normal sniper rifle found in cs, the awp is a 7.62 (and varius other calibers, .338 etc) rifle, the AW50 (what the model is) is a 50 caliber rifle edit: rap, it doesnt look like a reskin to me, looks like a brand new model

Personally I think it's foolish to go back and forth trying to rip each other's addons and team members apart. The main thing that keeps me into ofp is the community especially the addon community. We shouldnt be fighting and competing with other addon teams to be the best because it aint gonna happen a. once your "best" get's released anybody can take it and rearrange it to be their "best" b. we should be helping each other to produce high quality addons as a whole. Take DKM mod team for an example they've come up with alot of new stuff i.e the rotorwash addon and the commanche with all it's features including retractable landing gear but are they being stingy and saying they are the best and nobody can use their work? The answer is no. They release quality addons and they share their resources if you had a problem im sure they'd help. What im trying to say is we are working for a community that loves and wants our addons they dont want to see 30 diff ranger packs or 50 diff marine packs trying to out do each other. my .02 rap

Interesting site why is it whenever someone critises the US government or talks about the US forign policy in a negative way some ppl seem to think its an attack on their nationality or a personal insult. Its like saying rap music sux then some idiot calls u racist
