Buffalo-6

at 200 yards with a 20 mph fishtailing quartering tailwind, yes it does, when your trying to cover a 5 shot group with a quarter. Thats me. The crowd I shoot with will put 5 rounds in and it looks like the same hole. Scoring revolves around measuring the largest didtance between hole centers and subtracting the bullet diameter, lowest score wins. Now they are mostly shooting $1000+ compitition bench guns and have been competing longer than I have had a drivers lience, but I hold my own with a home built AR with a varmit barrel. Also, the both eyes open is standard CQB. Modern day optics

Yes, both eyes open. Right eye on the scope, left eye watching the wind flags, waiting for the condition. BTW, watching wind flags in Kansas is an experence. I poited this out before GRAW went demo an got BBQ'd for it but the way they have the aiming set up is a right hand shooter aiming with his left eye, you rend to look cross aim-line unless you hit the zoom key, which then wipes out your perifieral (sp?) vision.

For $49.99 your damn skippy I did. I played the demo and enjoyed it. I got the actual game on the day of release and spent the next 4 hours going ######? I mean I liked the game play, the feel, the sights and the sounds. Hell I could almost smell Mexico (havign been there several times in my life Mexico has a smell, spicy and gritty sort of thing) I wanted to love the game. Are there problems yes, lots and they have been hashed out here and other places to death. My top gripes are the lack of COOP, the 4 man setup, the dead leader crap, weapon choices leave a lot to wonder at (lik

Sorry to keep this Prone thing alive but I was in the Demo last night (I picked up the FULL game at lunch today....BestBuy FTW!) and I noticed something odd with the prone bug. I was on the SAW and I dropped prone and the Crosshairs in normal and super Xray vision zoom mode were level with the far horizon....i.e. I could shoot them in the feet if I wanted. But if I looked up with the sight.....when I came back down to level....bang!....I hit the artificial plane thing and now I'm aiming over their heads. This is a bug, not a design feature. And for those that are saying "you cant shoot

Great GrAW as a training tool......for splodiedopes http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060504/us_nm/...videogames_dc_4

I guess my question is this: Is this the direction Ubi is going to as an anti-piracy mechanism?

Other than being a GR fan, I am an avid flight simmer. One of the sims that has helped fill the void between GR releases has been the IL2 series et al. There is a new add-on payware for this game and Ubi has decided to sneek more stuff onto our PC. You buy this DL from Ubi and after buying it and getting a key, you install and the installer puts Boonty Box on your system. People on Sim HQ have looked at it and think it is automatic updater that only looks for whatever game it is tied to. I guess one of the main problems I have with it is that once again, there is no indication of the i

is this with the sniper by chance? Being as the game engagements in the demo are less than 100 yards or so....I have not used the sniper but IIRC in GR1 there was a mouse button to take'n hold a breath...... Not sure bud

If your using the SCAR Heavy (.308 Win) then there are no ammo pickups that I can find on the map. the Bad guys all seem to have G36's using .223 or 5.56 but the sniper and the .308 crowd is screwd in the demo due to no ammo pickups. /tounge planted firmly in cheek I think it is a conspriacy to make us use the XM8....

Come on Warez is great.......... Where else can you get meat on a stick cooked over a propane space heater next to a sea of taxi's? Just dont drink the water!

The article I read was that it had major heat problems and the composit handguards were melting at an alarming rate and that once they got the heatsheilds corrected the thing weighed over 14 lbs. loaded......thats M14 type weight.

In GR1, our view was on the sight line...ie....right handed shooter with right eye ON the sights directly. Now we are above the sightline (which is a improvement) but in this picture....... http://fz.se/bildarkiv/image.php?id=24927 What eye are you aiming thru as a right handed shooter? Take a gun if you have one, or a baseball bat or a tube or a yardstick....whatever, and put it in a firing position, line up like you are on sights, and then close one eye and then the other.....which eye left or right more closely duplicates the sight picture in that pic? Thats right the left eye doe

I dont think you are following me here. It is tough to describe in words what you see with a CQB scope when you are using both eyes. With the optic mounted as far foreward as is comfortable (this is a comfort thing, and sometimes dictated by other equipment mounted on the top rail, NV equipment, BUIS, etc) you have as large of sight picture as you would have if you were using the iron sights, with 2 catches. 1st is that the red dot is much eaiser for the eye to see when over a dark background....like a torso. 2nd, if it is a quality optic, with non-parallaxing lenses, then you dont have to

agentkay........... 1st link was dead. The 2nd link is not an ACOG. It is a EcoTech. And since you are being snooty....how exactlly are you getting that up close view of said EcoTech when it is positioned about 7-8 inches away from your nose? Zoomable eyeware? You have never had a sight like that in you hands on a rifle before correct? It's not Realistic as you state....its console-ish.

We Bo did comment that I didnt know how to program and that I may be an armchair commando. But I do think that was a defensive reaction because I was a little harsh in my opening post. While I have not used any of this stuff in a life or death situation or the military, I am someone who has used these items and do so on a regular basis.

Sort of........Puros If in your example, you have both eyes open and are on the sight (gun at the shooting position and you are on the sights) then the reticle for the optic should overlay the GR1 reticle. Your example is what happens when you close one eye or the other, you have one dominate eye (mine is rightside dominate) which really helps in a both eyes open sighting, the Dominate eye superceeds the weaker eye. I had a hunting buddy who was right handed but left eye dominate and for the longest time he could not hit water even if he fell out of a boat. He was always behind the bird

I assume the retcles can be changed thru mods, at least they were with GR1. I love all these people saying realisim is not important when for the last 3+ years we have been screaming for it, and is pretty much why GR2 got canned. If because of the OTS view they cant get the red dots to "present" right...then thats fine, its a game issue. But the zoom thing is strange unless the ghosts have wet-ware mods to the eyes. I guess I will just have to suspend my dis-belief when I'm running a red dot in game.

Ok Bo. I think I came off stronger than I wanted to. If it's a game/balence playability issue then thats ok. It is just something that really bugged the heck out of me in GR1 and the RVS series. That and I hate that GR1 reticle I shoot just about every weekend here once the temp gets up to the point you dont loose feeling in your fingers (because whats the fun in that?) and I am bleesed that I have a family friend who has a 200 yard range in his backyard. Yes the joys of rual Kansas. This summer I will begin shooting NRA Highpower on the service rifle side. I am currently working u

I can see that they still insist on that ugly/useless stock GR1 reticle for anything other than zoom mode. Disapointing that Bo and crew seem to have missed the concept of both eyes open aimed fire. Shooting from the carry position is for gang bangers which is what is implied by the GR1 reticle and the weapon at carry or low ready. When you are in the stack or moving, you have the weapon up at the ready and are on the sights, not telescoped thru the peep or optics, you have both eyes open and are scaning your zone, once you see a target, you narrow the focus but you leave both eyes open. This

****Moved to it's own Topic****** Yes I feel it is that important

Damit Bo....you are killing me. I was just about to purchase either a Kimber or Wilson Combat 1911 in the next month or so. Mainly because Kansas just passed (overrode a veto) on the CCW bill. Now with these screens and all the goodness you are showing with GRAW, I have to decide between a new vidcard/cpu upgrade or personal defense firearm or both......yikes....decsions aplenty. All this on top of just buiding 2 new uppers for my AR (a varmint bull and a SPR/SDMr upper).....I think I'm going to have to sell a kidney or something. Keep up the awesome work. I love the way this is shapin

I also use the N52 Speed pad by Belkin I use the 4 way hat for" Up = Comms (push to talk) Down = Switch Weaps Right = Command Map Left = Binocs I'm a big HOTAS fan so I also use the N52 for CFS3, IL2(et al), MW4(et al) and Freelancer When flying IL2 I combine my half assed HOTAS setup with my IRTracker2 and it is very immersive. I tried my IRTracker2 with GR and got very dizzy not to mention I could not hit water if I fell out of a boat with it.

Ok, it was a cookie thing.....I think. I still get that "Account" screen at home but at work yesterday I created a new account and freaking paid for the fast download and lo and behold it worked so I burned a cd at work (blanet mis-use of office supplies and all that) and got to play with all the cool M14's and such. But even if you go to the fileplanet mods page then to GR then into that menu.....none of this stuff shows up. It must be a cookie thing as my home PC is locked up tight to keep all the crap out when I'm online gaming and stuff. very strange.

Nope...........every link leads to the "Gee we merged and we are all wonderful page....donate your spleen and such" I go to mods...then GR series....then it lists 9 weapons mods. It is not found in any other catagory. I know Thumper makes kick ass mods but if they want cash to D/L it (they being FP not Thumper) then I'll just have to be happy with the stuff I have from the end of 2003 and be done with it.

so far after spending about an hour of my life looking for Thumpers 7.62mm mod....File planet has lost it. It is no longer there and niether are the 2 updates. If someone has some insite......I'm all ears but I hope Thumper knows they seem to have lost his work. [Admin Edit: Topics merged - Do not raise multiple topics for the same subject please]
