Hunter~SPARTA~

This was the bipod I was referring to. Its still a foregrip, just has the additional functionality of a bipod. - JHunter

Can't say I like foregrip, either. Just feels kinda awkward. Although our foregrips did have the extendable bipod legs, which proved useful on a few different occasions. - JHunter

Without firing gloves, I've found the rails to be slightly annoying to grip. With firing gloves, however, I have no issue. I personally prefer to grip the magazine well any how. But I'm only 5'7", so I suppose for taller guys that may not be comfortable. Just my two cents. =) - JHunter

I suppose our invites to join you were in the mail, hm? Good to hear ya had a good time man. Welcome back. - JHunter

When they work properly, they can be a quick asset reward. Especially the one(s) where you're "racing" the OPFOR to the pilots, since it takes 2 years for the OPFOR to get there. I think if the rescue scenarios were re-created (by someone with much more creative talent than I) to add a bit more challenge and put a new twist on side missions, they would be a welcome change. - JHunter

Excellent stuff, Stang. I am by no means an Air Dom junkie (probably only been on that server two or three times), but I think something like this can and will get more guys interested in playing in this server. Certainly has me intrigued. Keep up the good work. - JHunter P.S. - If you need beta testers, give me a shout.

Gotta love Bob and Tom.

I was waiting for that one...

lmao. took me a second to figure out what was going on there. but that is true dedication. amazing.

Thanks, fellas. A special thanks to Panic. I'm really looking forward to when your birthday comes around, bud... - JHunter

Happy birthday.

Hahaha, well you've never talked to me that way, Halli. So I'm not talking about you. I'm not one to hold grudges or hard feelings, so I honestly don't even remember the names of the people I've heard doing it. Although I think I may have drifted a little off of AJ's original point here. The way I understand it, is that Tac Fridays were created to appease the more "hardcore" and "strict" gamers. The rest of the week, most people just wanna relax, go with the flow, and have some fun. Again thats not saying theres not a place for leadership to keep everything in check. Just ya know, keep a little slack in the reigns. - JHunter

I completely agree. Thats why I'd never suggest removing Command and Control elements. Without leadership, everyone would fall into unimaginable chaos. Micromanagement can be a problem at times, but there are also times when its absolutely needed. Thats not really the "issue" I'm talking about. I've never had an issue with you personally, anyway, Halli. You've gotten on my ass a few times but its just been a misunderstanding. You misunderstanding what I was saying or vice versa. But we communicate, make our intentions clear, and all is good. What I have an issue with is how some people talk to other people. It's a game, there is no real life or death at stake, its simply not THAT serious. I don't want to hear someone cursing at someone else (or myself) because they missed something. I have no issue with the mission commander going, "Chopper 1 pilot identify yourself and state your destination". But I do have an issue when the commander yells in the mic, "Who the #$$& is in Chopper 1 and where the $*%& are you taking it?!?!". Also, like AJ first started saying, there could be someone trying to put out pertinent and mission important information, but someone else feels like their message is more important so they want to yell over the first person. Again, its just a game. It will be ok if you have to wait another 5 seconds to send your message. - JHunter

Halli, I can't speak for AJ, but at least from my stand point I'm not saying remove leadership. Far from it. I'm merely saying that there are some people that get carried away when put "in charge". There are also times when someone tries to run a mission like it is "Tactical Friday". But obviously that won't work when not everyone is on TS and even the people that are, are not on the "same page". So it ends up being a bitching and ranting session in TS. And thats not fun for anyone. - JHunter

I second AJ's sentiments. I often find myself detaching myself from the main assault group to either run side missions or move to a different Sparta server merely because someone in TS is simply overbearing. Granted, there are times when the comms break down into complete chaos and need a firm hand to reset order. Same can be said for in-game behavior. But like AJ said, a politely asked question is far more appreciated than someone yelling in my ear, "where the #$$*% are you going with that $*% chopper?!". I know Sparta strives for a certain amount of cooperation and coordination even on "non-tac" days, but it's still a game. As we say in the Army, "Don't make an MOS out of it." - JHunter P.S. (edit) - These instances apply to most game aspects, not necessarily just piloting.

Haha, good stuff. For some reason, my wife didn't appreciate the humor of that story.

That is if you're running a Domination mission. As for just plain, vanilla, Arma 2... I do not know of anywhere to repair/rearm. And you're right, if you pull up to a gas station, it will refuel your land vehicle for you.

I still stand by the Logitech G-35.

And my favorite... Try not to go overboard

Welcome to the forums, peter. We've ran some side missions together, good to see you made it on here. - JHunter

doh! >.

I second that, Durka.

Well I can't be sure, Watchman, but the way you're describing it sounds like T-1 had his "Whisper" bind set to the whole channel, not the particular squad leader. But the squad leader had his Whisper set directly to T-1 (or whatever channel T-1 was in). But I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure... but that's what it sounds like to me.

Yep, me too. I'm also on the U.S. East Coast timezone. Typically available week days 1800-2200 and then all day on the weekends. Just let me know when you're going to set something up and I'll definitely try to be there. - JHunter
