2nd Ranger

Somebody did accomplish that by making the textures transparent. He didn't release it or anything, but he did it.

I was going to do that one, but I thought "Nah. T will do it."

I played Apache/Havoc many years ago. I never really got into it because it was probably too complicated for my age at the time, and I was more into infantry stuff. The main thing I remember is your gunner saying stuff like "Son of a ###### dug in like an Alabama tick!" when you blow something up. I spent most of my time tearing up my own airfield and getting shot down. I wasn't a very good pilot.

Nobody is complaining that there aren't any forests in the middle of Mexico City. I think the point is rather that the game should have been set in a place where rural areas would be common. I don't mind the urban setting myself, just nitpicking.

The stars also have a different number of points.

Just read something that confirmed a feature I saw in the video: In the video, you see the player trying to hit the guys who just blew up the tank, but they are out of range. He then ducks into cover and you can see him fiddling with his sights, then he pops up and hits the guys on the roof. It seems that if you are trying to hit a target that is outside your weapon's average range, your accuracy meter in the top right will tell you so. You can then actually adjust your iron sights for distance, so you are able to hit the target.

Haha, awesome. Looks sort of scripted, but fun. The animations, lighting and effects are all really nice. Just read this article about it and it boasts some nice features; That part of the video was hilarious. The whole concept is nice and fresh, too. One to look out for.

If you run into the water, you will sink to the bottom and die, just like OFP.

What do you mean by 'fell the way they did'? What way? You mean how they pretty much collapsed vertically?

Some nice things in there - Crouch walk, swaying foliage, character switching, animations (the first person sprint reminds me of GRAW). Awful weapon sounds though. Hope they are just placeholders.

Are you implying that climbing is an arcade feature? Jumping obviously does have the potential to become a nuisance, but climbing is no more arcade than one-shot kills. You gain absolutely no advantage from climbing over an object other than being able to climb over an object. Maybe I have a selective memory, but I seem to recall a climb/clamber option on most peoples' lists in those 'What I would like to see in GR2' threads ages ago. Did opinions suddenly change when GRAW was announced?

Agreed.

Yeah, it would no doubt lead to some frustration when you are taking fire and have to waste valuable seconds picking yourself up off the floor, but if there is also some way to determine the frequency and probability of being knocked down, then it could be a rare thing that you have to deal with. I also suggested elsewhere that another option is to only get knocked over when you get hit while running, but I am guessing this would be even harder to accomplish than the former method.

If the AI get knocked over sometimes when hit, would there be any way to make this happen for the player using this XML stuff?

I think it was said way back when that it would be less than the price of a full game, as it is more or less an update of OFP. However I really don't know for sure, so right now I'd expect it to be in the regular range.

Looking at those, I don't know why that preview guy was complaining about the grass.

Yeah, I remember watching the extras specifically for that kind of thing. That scene was probably my favourite part of the movie; the way he disarms that one guy and flattens the others, then walks out while they wonder what just happened is great. The one main fight scene in the other Treadstone agent's flat in Supremacy was really well done, despite the camerawork. It was really brutal, the tension coming from the fact that for once, Bourne is fighting someone who is actually on his level rather than hapless security guards and thugs. I still find it funny when Bourne rolls up a magazine

The animations are great, except that there doesn't (yet) seem to be a transition for when you start sprinting or when you stop; you just kind of go straight into it from the standing or crouched animation. Apart from that, it looks excellent.

If Starsky was David Hasselhoff and Hutch was a talking car, then yeah, just like that.

Yeah, Greengrass directed Flight 93, shaky cam and all (though I doubt there are many martial arts fight sequences to ruin with it). The fights (well, fight) in Supremacy were still badass, but I felt that they worked better in Identity because you could see everything that was going on. Tight, handheld shots certainly do something to make the fights grittier and more visceral, but at the cost of feeling a bit claustrophobic. I did really like that Supremacy was alot darker and grittier though. There was fast, unrelenting tension right up until the end of the final chase. It was probabl

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0440963/ Can't wait. It is apparently being directed by Greengrass again. I hope he eases up on his trademark shaky cam closeups though; they totally ruined the fight scenes for me in Supremacy.

Spawning into the highest ranking AI is cool, but would it really fit in with the narrative if you are playing as William Porter (for example) and then died, only to come back in the next mission or two? Maybe it is just a 'single mission' thing.

I'd rather purchase a GRAW PC Game and get a FREE GeForce 7600 GT Graphics Card. Can I do that?

I've been trapped in this thread for two minutes because whenever I tried to go back to General Off-Topic, the loading images kept pulling the buttons away from my mouse.
