FN Mag is called M240 Para

In these vehicles the C6 GPMGs are co-axially and pintle mounted and used to provide fire support to the infantry or for local defence of the vehicle itself.

FN MAGs are used by everyone, see the link in my previous post for futher details

FN Minimi (used by British Armed Forces) i think is equal to M240 or M249 para

CAN WE GET THE CANADIAN FORCE IN 0.7 I mean, the LAV is done, the Soldier skin is done, the G Wagon is done, the LEO2A6M is practicly done, our support/sniper/grenadier/HAT/LAT are already present in game they can give up M16A4 to CF force the time they finish C7A1

i tend to concur with hotrod, so long as the skins/voices for soldiers in one format and a few vehicles done with use of placeholders for the rest.

i think 1 remember reading eggman post somewhere

edit: here it is...

We still need to ask some of the BSS folks if we can use some content, so that's up in the air, the PR Dev team will look into that.

Note that to make the CF a reality there is VERY LITTLE that needs to be done to get to a playable 0.1 release.

Here are the 5 things that need to be done to get to a playable first CF release:

1. Reskin the Euro Forces soldiers to CADPAT AR and TW
2. Model & Texture a C7A2 with 3 Variants - USE KATARN'S M16 AS THE BASE
-- iron sights
-- Elcan
-- Elcan with M203
3. Reskin the LAV-25 to OD and an OD Woodland variant
-- the OD one is the desert variant and should be really dusty
-- the Woodland one should be the same color, just less dusty
4. Select one map to convert to a CF map
-- map must be Infantry and APCs only
5. Develop and code all the required CF team assets
-- Rhino has already done most of this
-- still need to develop the HUD assets for weapon selection and spawn screen
-- need localisation stuff and soldier kits

Once the assets are created the PR team will code them and roll it into the PR codebase. I could do most of the work in 1 to 2 days.

==

I can absolutely guarantee you that ONE PERSON could knock off creating these assets in 2 weeks. BUT I can also guarantee you that will not happen. People typically are compelled to make things more complicated than they need to be.

AND I can guarantee you that just about every post following this one will make it more complicated to do a CF release for little to no tangible game play benefits.

==

For those of you who are curious.... grab some popcorn and watch just how long it will take to get that simple list of stuff done

we love what you guys are doing.i am so grateful you are taking on this huge task.
it doesn't have to be perfect in the first release just functional with place holders for maybe 2 maps ? which gicves us all a lil canadian tasty so we want more.

give us the appetizers for the next release guys!
