you wanna do the mod a huge favor? get your buddy from weapons company to take different weapons, place them on a white sheet and get pictures from the top, bottom, left, right, front, back, and close ups on details, something to make any of the modelers to drool

Plus, the M-14 DMR is for Designated Marksmen. Snipers use the M40A3.

True see i stick with regular infantry! I could care less what snipers use but i was close! the M40A3 is one accurate son of bitch though.

One in the Iraq right now there are no tanks, and every Marine knows its a fight to the death so if all of your squad gets knocked out and you here with a SMAW and a pistol, do you really think he has a chance? No. Thats why i was under that impression! Sorry for the misunderstanding and is there a possible way to edit some of these damn voices, i hate the word medic, when i bleed i yell "CORPSMAN!!!!!!!!"

Like I said, not every unit uses the TO&E as their SOP. Your information is probably correct for that unit. No misunderstanding.

Yes, the voiceovers can be changed, but right now it's a low priority.

The Predator SRAW is/was inertial-guided fire-and-forget, yes. The Marines are still using the M136/AT-4 and Javelin, but in the weapons platoons of the rifle companies, they have the SMAW, which is basically a "modernized" bazooka. It's used for more than just anti-tank, it also has a high explosive dual-purpose round for bunkers and exposed infantry; the round has the capability to penetrate and then explode. Future rounds include confined-space rounds and thermobaric incendiary rounds.

SMAW-NE, Thermobaric. That's a lotta asskicking. *Drools*...

Since there are commercially available photos out there, I don't know why I feel so nervous about this request... but that little voice in the back of my mind is screaming OPSEC!!!

(lol... maybe you shoud ask for some hi-res photos of some commo gear, too.)

[Wraith]

If some one posted high res photos of commo grear I would yell OPSEC... that's off limits to the civies.. I have a buddy that is in the us Para Rescue and he was telling me that part of the rescues they were doing in the US during hurricane katrina he had to have people sign NDR's due to the sensitive nature of the gear he was carrying..

[Butmonkey]

And if they didnt sign? "Sorry We have no room for you, we will come back for you." "But thers another 3 seats in the helicopter" "No thers not"

on a note about kits. Couldnt you use the weapon unlock slots as multiple kit loadouts for each class? Instead of everybody of the same class having the same loadout. It could also mean engineers arnt as explosive, Mines, Claymores, C4. The equipment could be split like in BFV with the two engineer classes.

Another option would be to allow a person to carry a pistol at the expense of carrying a weapon that is below average in strength and accuracy.
