DOWNLOAD THIS GAME IT KICKS ASS!!!  but it is 650mb

supprisingly the you, have to earn the snipers, and believe me, you can't do it in one try.  THis gane is so real!  Even you "breathing" affects you accuracy

[Gunslinger]

I got a kick out of doing the rifle range portion of this...it is just like shooting the M16A2 on the range.  There's only a few variables that arnt accounted for...wind, trigger pull, site alingment/site picture.   other than that its pretty cool.

kinda sucks at first though, playing online, you take 3 steps after waiting ten minutes and wam....sniper gets you...

happy hunting!

Have they gotten rid of all the script kiddies yet?

You actually had to try more than once to get to be a sniper?

Is there something I should know about qualifying expert with the m-16?  I know how the real deal works but it seems the m16 used shoots more like a ak.. not to mention rounds clearly going through targets.

Heck, it's free and not a bad game. No where near Red Orchestra though.

at least it has players      RO servers/players are dwindling....

in real life my m16 used to fire thru the plastic sihlouets at the shorter range. many bullets went thru it before me..lol cant seem to get file planet to give me game..l will get 1.9 from nvidia  now and upgrade to 2.0 wheni can reach that site i had it when it first came out , but played the viet cong one instead. but cant find that game cd any more.. seem to have lost it

[rabbidrabbit]

Sarge,, its just like the real thing... I remember getting pissed when shots passed through in RL for me too..  The trick must be don't shoot on the inhale.. regardless of sight position you won't hit anything..  I messed a number of shots on the 50m because my tard decided it was a good time to inhale when I shot.

[Sarge1]

lol i know that too.. wheni was range NCO and helping 09boo's firing weapons i would see them from angles from the 25m tageret go right thru the target and hit the dirt behind the tagert and not score.. those i gave them cause bullets don go to target and change course to go up and over and hit raight behind them..


those bullets were stopped being made after JFK's magic bullet that hit everyone and everything and even changed course to get some frontal hits too...lol this is a joke and for those that dont know about the magic bullet theory of JFK

Their password server was 'porked' the last time I checked.  They say there 'working on it'.

Great sim BTW

[vorticon]

garr...all the download sites are packed (what do you expect...over 2 million users registered...at least 600 000 active...and they all have to update)


even if the game will run on my ****ty arse system (1.9 worked...barely)

[Sundiver]

When ya'll get the update downloaded lemme know how long it takes you to complete the SpecForces E&E which is the final test you have to pass to be one.

 Took me about 1.5 hours total. There IS no easy route but I can provide a couple of hints maybe...

 Be patient. Take your time. /NEVER/ stand up always stay crouched, prefferably prone.

 Use your binoculars OFTEN. Scan the ridgelines for sentries, you
ll get to were you can pick out the human shapes even without the binoculars.

 Spend alot of time in the creeks and gullies. Even then stay prone and move slow.

 Watch the sentries with the binoculars then sneak past them in stages, alot of sentries will make quarter turns, pause turn again. Again, NEVER rush past one even a fast crawl if you're within 50 yard and they'll spot you.

Remember you have a key that will change your rate of movement as well as prone/crouch/stand so you've got a fast and slow version of each one.

 Stay slow and low and watch the sentries rotational patterns and you'll make it through but don't expect to complete the course in under an hour.
