no no...I said "avoid choke points" because people who are tactically minded will see them, take high ground and then toss down some Brittany Spears CD so they can pick off the teenagers with ease.... Oh and almost forgot... ...though this is more "you know a military vet when..." ..before farting you mumble "I'm now checking my backblast area"

cant rate what I dont see..

ifin I remember right....Per capita, Antarctica has the most college graduates per square mile on the Earth. the Daddy Long Legs spider is the most deadly spider in the world (yet it's mouth is so small, no one can really be bitten..but it's venom begins to liquify muscle, skin tissue, organs, etc..kind of like Mariah Carey's music...) Curiosity killed the... er, U-Boat. During World War II, a German U-boat was sunk by a truck. The U-boat in question attacked a convoy in the Atlantic and then rose to see the effect. The merchant ship it sank had material strapped to its deck including

the british cammo looks good as does (imo) Rhodesian.. ...of course...the (new) US Army just has to screw everything up these days...first taking away the prized possession of the Rangers and now this...kind of reminds me of the Monty Python skit about the British WW2 secret weapon....you remember...the Funniest Joke in the World.

well, on the telemarketer bit...someone I know used, in a sense, reverse psychology. Seems the telemarketer mentioned that "this conversation might be monitored for training purposes"...bad move. So he gets the "I'm so-and-so and would you be interested in choosing Company A for your long distance calling?" so he tells them he's a bit interested. Telemarketer is hooked....so she goes on and on about 5 cents a minute, 2 cents on weekend nights at 2am, yadda yadda yadda..at the end she asks if he would be interested. He asks what her name is and then says "Ok, So-and-So..how about this...I'll si

you might as well go out and buy the GR Gold Edtion...comes with all GR and both Mods..erm..excuse me "expansion packs" (j/k) and a bunch of other spiffy things like Igor and more (which you can find out more about here in these forums). Ok, that and it also updates your GR file so you can play alot of the awesome mods that you can DL here. (because the GR and DS pack is only version 1.0.0.0 whereas the Gold Edition is vers. 1.4.0) It's worth the dough...plus after you get it, you'll have 3 extra copies for LAN parties for people that dont have their disks with them to start up the game.

147 and "gifted" in processing information in problem solving (ie...I work fast)

Isnt there also suspose to be tunnels across the DMZ? Anyhoo..wasnt saying Kores will be the next hotspot...just that a place in say Georgia (or the Ukraine really) would be interesting..sort of like watching someone over their shoulder. @F'n New Guy : Somalia? Erm...dunno about that one. The US got into some heavy...erm "stuff" over there and I dont think they want to repeat it again. Sort of how we are handling things in Hati. Marines go in (more than likely FAST) and make sure the embassy is secure and that's that. Let the UN get their rears handed to them. Also...in another post y

I like how unlike UO (where the AIs just moan, drop to kness and then drop again) GR AIs pur more realism into death....like clutching "da boys" after a 7.62 SVD sex change from 100m Well..had Frostbite's mod loaded and going. Was doing Firefight on the Fort (on Elite). Had the SVD (well natch...love the little russian ######. ) and had one guy eluding me. I was croutched and running and sneaking around looking and scanning for any sign. Well, seems the guy was atop a building, behind crates (and yes...cursed myself for not looking there first) and I was across the map. He was looki

well, if people go by size and say Pluto doesnt qualify as a planet, then the new guy doesnt either because it's smaller than Pluto.. but as for my opinion...Oi! Something other than some collection of gasses is out there and close that we found! Yea humanity! Now if we could just take a more detailed, close look at Titan...there's a project!

*writes in his handy dandy limited edition GR Notepad* 1. find a hidey hole 2. type "I see you" on open channel in online play 3. look for survivors

Besides the one on Island Thunder, there's also some mods out there with more silenced sniper rifles... ...of course there's always Igor...but hold off on him until you get more comfortable with the game.

I've done some of those...except for GR Theme as my startup music...got the march from Backdraft for that Also...dont forget : -when moving down the produce aisle in the store, you go croutched and scan for snipers -you look to avoid "choke points" in the mall -Tom Clancey has a restraining order on you just because you've sent 1000 requests for him to do some recording for the briefings for your really cool Mod in the works -When you watch movies like "Sniper" and "Platoon" you mumble what kits each actor has

Kind of reminds me of the one about the guy that robbed a bank and held the gun in his right hand. At the trial, he sat there smugly as did his attorney. When the judge was about to pass sentencing on him, he asked if the guy had anything to add to his defense. The guy said "I had no control over the actions of my right hand. Since the hand and arm acted on their own accord, they should be punished and not the rest of the body." The judge smiled and said "Ok, then I sentence your right hand and arm to 20yrs in prison and should your body accompany them, then they can do so." ....the guy the

Dont forget "1rst Annual!" ok..if it's annual, it means it happens every year. If it's 1rst..it means it's never happened before and this is the first time. So then how do we know it's going to be annual if it's the first? It could be a bust and never happen again OR be so popular that it's quarterly (ie every 3 months).

Next Hot Spot? Easy...watch the uniforms of the US military. Prior to the orginal Gulf War, the 82nd Airborne wore regular old woodland cammo BDUs. About 6 months prior, they suddenly go with a new uniform..desert cammo (first chocolate chip then the "Well duh!" 3 color desert). Looking at the new USMC uniforms, I'm guessing probably Asia around Georgia etc. In a logical sense, it would be interesting to see say...an airbase up there in case the Korean scenario goes south. ...though...I did hear someone mention (some comedian..forgot his name) mention when the 2nd Gulf War broke out that Ma

"..Duck? What duck? I see a robin and a....." BOOM *spat* yes...he took an M203 headshot...

Did you know..... ...that the history of 'the finger" orginated in battle??? Here ya go... Before the Battle of Angicourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soliders. Without the middle finger, it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow. English soliders, therefore, would be incapable of fighting in the future. The famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and in the act of drawing the longbow was knowing as "plucking the nyew" (or "pluck yew"). Much to the bewilderme

Ok, came across an article about John Glenn and the military. First...this is not political though it did happen when John Glenn announced he was running for Senator and John Metzenbaum criticized him. The words spoken by Mr. Glenn were not of a political nature, but were in fact defense of the US military. IMHO though, the same words can be used for any military across the globe. Here ya go...enjoy : (Howard Metzenbaum to John Glenn) "How can you run for Senate, when you've never held a real job?" Glenn : "I served 23 years in the USMC. I was through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My

Ok, cant remember the name of the book, but in a local rag (then UP Magazine..formerly known as the Porcupine Press) there's an article about the book... ...written by a sled driver about sleds (ie SR-71s) in real life humorous situations...Here's an example you all might like... A pilot looked around and then pulled out his .38, which he put on the dash. The navigator looked at it and asked "What's that for?" The Pilot arrogantly replied "I use this on navigators that get me lost." A moment later, the navigator pulls out a .45 and places it on his map board. The Pilot asks "Ok, what's t

yea...we figured it was a glitch and the shadows are "situational" AIs..like when you secure a hostage, more come out. Now it's like "Ok, Doc, you aim for the shadow...I'll secure Stone on 3..then you shoot her in the head....1....2.....3..BANG" Tango down

Babes is a good mod...but recently (like 10 minutes ago) found a bug in it. When multiplaying with it going, on Mission 1, in the (grid)NE tower, there's a mystery AI. I didnt have it on my screen (and I was the LAN host) but Doc (across the room) had it on his. He took a screencap of it because when he shoots it, it boots us. Here be the screencap :

about a week ago...buds were over at Doc's and we had Harntrox 20 Missions loaded and going... ...was playing the Airfiled mission on Elite (we like challenges). So after Paulie and I waxed about 20 trying to come up the stairs and Doc created sucking chest wounds from the tower, we decided to head outside. Here's how the cross talk went... Me : Ok, on the 36K heading to the compy room Paulie : back hall is clear Doc : Hey..the compy room is empty... Me : I guess it is...wait! Guy in the corner lets loose on full auto..20 or so rounds downrange... Doc : umm...Captian ######? That was

Hey guys...dont let Doc fool you..as an ever-so-often target of his (even in Co-Op) his fave weapon is frags...like pulling the pin and dropping one AT the entry point while he, me and someone else and our filled out AI teams get blasted into bits... ...so sad to see Russian and Cuban tangoes laughing at us.... ...just kidding...

Erm...depends really. From just GR, DS and It, it's the SA-80. Of course it meant a few trips to IGOR to make some kits for my riflemen. Now including MODs...it again depends on what I play. Basically : Sniper - SVD (P) and G-36K (S) Rifleman - G-36K (P) and Impact Grenades (S) Demo - G-36K or UMP45SD and M136(AT4) Support - What? My rifleman doesnt support enough? BUT...the LAN parties we have here at times, we kind of get a bit miffed at some missions (like those where 5 AIs are AT the Entry point and thier 100+ buddies running our way... *coughcoughcoughHarntroxcoughcough* )
