Yeah the graphics are great but the game play is very formulaic. They could have done more, but instead they only did enough and stuck to the safe formula. If they had taken a coupla risks, it might be more than a good but typical shooter with fantastic graphics. Oh and all those mags that said Far Cry was the first of the next gen graphics engines, were so wrong. that is far closer to what we're used to that Doom3. D3 is streets ahead of anything you've ever seen in action

AFAIK the M4 was slated to replace most M16, but that was just a matter of giving the infantry a shorter weapon. the M16A4 is just as modable as the m4 (I've seen shots of the guys in iraw with all the same kit:flat top and scope, laser pointer, flashlight and GL all hooked on to the RIS handguard). Incidentally the Marines seem happy with their M16A4s and in no hurry to change. Then this XM8 thing came along and all I can say is I'm glad its on hold. I know it's basically a G36 but the G36 is sexier. I don't like the XM8 cuz it's ugly. The reason (I read in TIME) troops in the beginnin

Well guys I've just finished the first two levels on my brand new copy of Doom3 and I can confidently say it is all it was cracked up to be. The Graphics are gorgeous (I'm running on a P4 2.53 with GeForce FX 5200 at 800x600 with full effects and details) and the sound is very high quality. Doom 3 was never meant to be the be-all-end-all and I believe it has stuck faithfully to its roots. Remember that nail-biting, gonad-shrinking fear of creeping around a dark moonbase not knowing when a demon is about to leap from the shadows? That was 1993 and the game that changed gaming forever.

I'd still like to see a shot of this uniform on real terrain. Not that blue prototype - some of the green stuff. I wanna see how it stacks up in the trees or against the sand.

Actually it is mentioned. But there is a mass of political controversy and the apolitical Japanese people rarely get in the mix. On one side you have the academics - teachers and professors who believe history in all its ugliness should be taught; on the other hand there are the conservative elders of Japan (including the government in this highly patriarchal society) who sincerely believe that the Japanese don't need to know the bad stuff their ancestors did lest it damage their national/ethnic pride. On paper local school board are free to choose whatever textbooks they use to teach the

When you take into account that Japanese is not a language of many colorful swear words like ours, that's a really bad mistake.

You're preaching to the converted Para. But what few people outisde Japan realise is that they've glossed over their dark past and painted themselves as victims of western imperialism. They were able to do this by citing the examples of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, while ignoring their own atrocities across Asia which cost many more lives. Yes they brought it upon themsleves but only insomuch as they were dragged into war by a rabidly nationalist government. This doesn't make them right but do not underestimate how deeply the Japanese today have been taught to believe they were somehow righ

Yeah I'm not hoping for much...

I still like to think that if the Japanese brass had been invited to a demonstration of the atomic weapon's capabilities they would have capitulated much the same as they did, but without the loss of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As it was, when compared to invasion the lesser of two evils was taken. Having lived in Japan for 4 years and returned as frequently as possible, I have a deep and abiding love for the place and I am glad that Japan didn't face total destruction in the war. It is sad that because the Japanese were able to keep their country and government intact they've used the bomb

Talk about stopping power: Whenever this chick Samantha Wong in my office walks past, she's so fine I just freeze and stare at her. That's stopping power dude.

Japanese air hostesses aren't overrated either

If GR2 sucks, I'll give up gaming a re-devote my life to the pursuit of Japanese and Korean airline stewardesses. I've been gone too long...

Uuh..yeah...something like that

Sounds like incompatibility with another mod you're running. I recommend deactivating other mods one by one to find out which it is. After you identify the mod, if you still want to run both, you could copy all the relevant files from Standard upgrade's folders into the corresponding folders in that mod and you should be okay.

I slapped together a flat tableau of the new 3 color 'all terrain' pattern in MS paint. Someone with the right tools could turn that into a uniform skin...

Now I'm getting thirsty you ######! Damnit, gimme another pint!

The official lineup: M4 Mk48 (basically a 7.64mm M249) AT4 MP5SD XM8 in green, black or pastel pink OICW with 100 shot grenade launcher Photon Displacement sniper rifle M337 battlefield laser Cybertronic heat vision scopes 'Mini Nuke' anti-armor hand grenades Any other crap the XBox crowd ask for

I agree. This 'sequel' is shaping up to be GTA in green anyway so there might as well be a few car chases

My colon is clenching as we speak....

What exactly do you mean by 'ASSinate him'? Is this some kind of "Don't ask don't tell" thing? I don't this Bush is into that sorta thing. I dunno about Saddam... Dude we should call you the Assinator from now onm

And a very happy 62nd to Mr. Solo and Dr. Jones!

Yeah baby-eating facist was my first pic too, so I took the test again.

oh. I thought that 9mm pistol and SMG bullets were all subsonic anyway. So they can go supersonic too? So with that drop in velocity, what's the effectrive range on an MP5SD? I understand these are usually used by HR teams who fight at extremely close ranges anyway.

Dear Mr Bush. I am a Senior Citizen. During the previous successive administrations had an extremely good, well-paying job. I took numerous vacations and had several holiday homes. Moreover when Reagan and your father were in power I was supported financially in my business ventures and knew I could count in good governance from Washington. Under Clinton I was politely left alone but was still permitted to prosper under my own steam. But since you took office Mr Bush, I have watched my entire life change for the worse. I lost my job. I lost my homes. I lost my health insurance. As a
