wow! i got a bit of a twitch GR4? sad to see its still only a discussion, ubi lost control of gr1 to the people that bought and played the game(not good for profit margins im sure) it unlocked a lot of talent within the gaming community and set a benchmark that has yet to be matched in its genre.....simplistic to say rejuvinate the game
but if the format works and theres potential for profit to be made then it makes sense? or are the big game companies left with creative drones who can only play checkers(draughts) and not chess? still life being cyclic
maybe some forward thinker at head office will realise that its ok to look to the past to stimulate the future and give
us what we want ......GR

yep breath deep GRIN n stay focused
im sure ubi's marketing men and accountants know exactly what they are doing? and all the foot stomping and throwing toys out of the pram from the gr fans wont remove any £$ from next years profits or tax returns, im sure when xmass is over and they clear the shelves in the stores of old stock and we've all upgraded are pc's to 64 bit with microsofts new operating system, and the 360 is finally ready.
the gaming world will be ready for what looks like so far being a MASTERPIECE.
keep it up Grin your efforts are appreciated and i look forward to playing GRAW.
ps note to myself: cancel stay @ clinic for addiction to gr 1 new addiction imminent
All the Best APE X

Hi, I'm currently studying A Levels in the UK and am thinking of trying to get a commision in the Royal Marines after uni. I've read through most of what you guys have said - although not a lot seems to come from people in the UK forces - and have a few questions.
Mainly what worries me is a comment someone made about Lt's being fairly useless, after reading somewhere else that US officers get 90 days training and then being told by my Royal Navy careers bloke that in the RM I'd have to complete 42 weeks basic training (inc. the all arms commando course) followed by around 12 months Advanced and Leadership training including a posting as a troop leader under supervision before I'd be left on my own as a qualified officer I was wondering if the same lack of faith in junior officers is the same within the UK forces? I'm also curious about how hard the commando course is, all the literature states it's meant to be incredibly hard so as to make it a true test of determination, and about completeing the final 30 mile march within 8 hours (7 for officers) on blisters from all the running and other things, I certainly don't expect it to be easy, which I think is a good thing as I really want to test myself, and see how far I can push myself, but I am curious as to what it actually involves. Also any information and advice on generally what to expect either from the Marines and the UK Forces in general. And as for whether I really want to do it, after meeting a few serving Marines, who seemed to be the most down to earth, confident and level headed people I've met, and reading and hearing about some of the things the've accomplished, I'd say a challenge like that is certainly what I'm looking for, and after reading a quote "No matter what the odds, a Royal Marine is always expected to achieve the impossible." makes me what to join them even more.
Thanks
one thing that officers and enlisted men share is the green beret, your going to bleed hard to earn it but know if you get through the commando training center at lympstone and "useless" wont make it through the gate you will be the equal of all who have completed the course, respect is a very mutual thing in the royal marines as a man you must earn the respect of the men you will lead whatever your rank, if you complete training you will be just begining a journey possibaly a short one , the life expectancy of a bootneck in combat is 8 minites so be under no illusions there is no rank in death so learn well to cheat expectancy and if you have 7 hours to complete the 30 miler try for 6 3\4 so you have time to make a cuppa tea for your men
as for having faith in our officers, without doubt there are none finer.ps for getting fit: fill a bergan with rocks and carry it everywhere you go it will help lessen the shock when you get fully kitted up or strap a fridge to your back :yes good luck 99.9% need not apply

Realism?. not possible so no expectations.
it takes about 20 mins to fully regain your sight after using night vision,darkness is your friend.
sf teams members are all medic trained so you do dont need to take one with you
just a medi pac,
non verbal coms are important so i hope theres a good selection of hand signals. (( nothing beats the Knowing that comes from working with a close team)
shoulder switching for r/l hand cover.
frag, smoke/ phos flashbang would be good as standard with all kits.
BALLISTICS. alot of the weapons in gr1 are a bit of a joke mainly from the modders smg's that can take down a sniper at 400 mtrs pistols out shooting assault rifles ect ect keep the effective range of all the weapons within realistic yardages,the iron sights on brothers in arms are v/good as is the floating effect on aa get the breathing right.
6 figure grid references would be useful on the command map the compass on the hud was good thou a bit loud(a bit redundant if you have real time satelite/drone intel with thermal imaging for calling in fire support ect ect on the hud as long as team members are chiped to avoid ff incidents?)a little off track there but smart bullets are not that far off.
Safe zones for respawns.
and yes open buildings for that 360 love what ive seen keep up the good work grin thanks
