  1. Amen. If I ever got hit in the leg in GR, I always restarted anyway.
  2. [NOT TAKING SHOTS AT ANYONE, DON'T SEND ME YOUR ANGRY PMs] To be honest, I think most of what you said is pretty fruitless now. First you mentioned different environments. We already know that the locales will change slightly to include parks and 'elevated' terrain as Bo put it, but places like mountains and jungles and things, although interesting, are just not going to happen at this stage. Then the four-man team. While this hasn't been solidly confirmed or denied yet (to my knowledge anyway), if it does turn out to be the case, then again, not alot anyone can do about it (it doesn't b
  3. Yeah GRIN, please modify the body awareness so that when you look down you can see your beard.
  4. Yes. The AI in GRAW will be exactly the same as in Rainbow Six: Lockdown. GRIN can't be bothered coding their own AI. In fact, UBI won't let them make their own AI because they are under pressure from Bill Gates to make GRAW unimpressive for [some conspiracy theory crap], and porting the game from the 360. This is all while they are cackling inanely and lighting Cuban cigars with $100 bills. Also UBI killed Kennedy.
  5. I agree with Sup. 'Tactical Simulator' suggests that a game is a simulator that is tactical, not that it simulates tactics (you don't need to simulate them, you can use them with most games). GR is indeed a tactical shooter at best. The only game I would associate with the moniker 'TacSim' is OFP (and subsequent iterations), and you could still say it is a shooter. I'd also like to bring up the fact that you can reload - and shoot things with - an AT4 launcher while running. That has nothing to do with anything anybody said, but I thought I would say it anyway. Actually I just rea
  6. In that case maybe you can help me. You see, Barbie comes with a camera, but with Ken you can SELECT PANTS COLOUR OMFGZ!!!11one. Three different types of plaid! What is a guy to do!? Also nice dolls.
  7. Very badass addons. The characters are indicative of how far OFP has come in the past five years. The map itself is the best desert environment I have seen for OFP. I've been waiting for this stuff; I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it on OFP.info.
  8. Just so we are clear - when I said 'stationary vehicles' I was talking about the parked ones you get on maps like Embassy, not the pickups and such the enemy use.
  9. Well, stationary vehicles exploded and then changed to a 'damaged' texture when you hit them with enough explosives. The effect was quite crude, but it did the job back then.
  10. I use it all the time, but I guess that just makes me a soft PC player as we have that option by default. I think the coolest thing about RES is the way your ammo pool and roster are carried over to the next mission. Does that happen on Xbox?
  11. Alot of games these days have 'gore level' options, and the likes of Soldier of Fortune had a 'gore install', but obviously even having the option for increased gore still earns a rating above 'Teen' level. I think that's about as tasteful as you are going to get without having something like Medal of Honor, where the only hit detection you have is a puff of smoke.
  12. Talking purely from PC version experience, hoping it is the same as XBox: I hate that mission. I used to try to set up half my squad in covering positions looking up the hill to the Russian party while the rest of us stole the armour, but now I just run the hell toward the tanks and shoot the few guards, order everyone into a vehicle and shoot the ###### out of the Russians with the cannons as they run down the hill. Then you take off lickety-split toward your RV with all the armour you can manage in tow, taking on the oncoming Russian armour by yourself because your idiot squad can't ke
  13. I didn't lose anybody to the DSHKs for some reason, I think they were concentrating their fire on the Air Cav guys. I went straight toward the chopper, took out the gunners and went up the East side to the village, then came back down the West side after I had the hostages, securing the chopper on the way.
  14. First grab the 1.96 patch from the 'patches' section here. You can check out the addon sections in this forum for some of the best and most recent addons, alternatively you could search around on this site for pretty much anything you can think of. This thread lists a number of the best addons and effect replacement packs for OFP. The most recent total conversion (i.e replacing everything from units and weapons to islands and effects) is Flash FX Unit Replacement.
  15. Alternatively the button could just boot up GR1 and let you play that.
  16. Not one of those Dolphin Commandos then? [Yes, I know it's not true.]
  17. If everyone on "24" followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called "12".
  18. Found some more; In chess, Jack Bauer can checkmate you in 1 move. When Kim Bauer lost her virginity, Jack Bauer found it and put it back. Jack Bauer's favorite color is severe terror alert red. His second favorite color is violet, but just because it sounds like violent. Jack Bauer was never addicted to heroin. Heroin was addicted to Jack Bauer. Don't ask what Jack Bauer would do for a Klondike bar... Jack Bauer doesn't miss. If he didn't hit you it's because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away. Jack Bauer's gun is actually a water pistol, but the water
  19. Well, if you ever feel the need to partake of some original OFP goodness with addons et al (and the addons available out there really do make it a whole new experience), then you can pick up a GOTY edition for breadcrumbs. That is, if you aren't put off by graphics that many don't consider to be quite 1337 enough.
  20. But that isn't going to happen. All it is, as Snowfella said, is information gathering. Perhaps this is the point that is being missed. There aren't going to be any 'accuracy points' in Game2, at least according to the available information. You will not be advancing your character in any way. I feel I should stress that. Going up to other soldiers and civilians to garner valuable intel is my definition of a simulation feature. It is the next level of realism. In most other war games all you have is cold and silent AI who serve no other purpose than to populate an area and offer themselves
