Then y'all can pick and choose which camo to wear that day.
I'm a big fan of having choices.

It seems an old bug may have reared it's ugly head once again.
Where is Stiles going?
I had an infantry squad, a machinegun team, and an engineer team move up along a tall wall.
The engineers were given a blast order, and both the infantry squad and mg team were given pause commands on their destination waypoints sufficient to allow the breach to occur. Then I added a movement waypoint towards a nearby building leading (hopefully) through the recently blasted section of wall.
The engineers blasted the wall, and moved aside, meanwhile, the infantry squad arrived at their waypoint, paused for 20 seconds, then moved through the blasted section like normal. The mg team arrived at their destination waypoint, and the team leader immediately ran through the un-blasted wall, and took off running across the airfield.
Video below:
Save file is here, saved during the replay phase:

Upon reloading my pre-turn save, the mg team leader did not run away as before, however two members of the infantry squad decided not to move:
I hope this helps.

B...b... but I thought this is the General Discussion Forum where all sorts of stupid things are discussed in the pursuit of fun. This is not an academic or serious military training site from National Defense University. So long as folks are enjoying themselves, isn't that the point?
Fun?
I think I'll have to look that up in a dictionary somewhere. -

What the hell are you doing wasting your time here for then? Doncha have anything better to do?
If it wasn't for your post, I wouldn't be wasting my time here either lol
I'm busy openly dismissing the claims of the OP after looking for an answer for ten years.
Don't YOU have anything better to do? -

In at least one account of the incident that I came across, Kennedy was shown saying that he had ordered the removal of the Turkish based missiles a year earlier and demanding to know why the Pentagon had been slow to act on that order.
Michael
I heard he secretly agreed to Soviet demands to remove the missiles from Turkey as a means to get the Soviets to abandon Cuba.

These folks ruined this for everyone else. Now, I can't take my pet Rattlesnake anywhere!!! Grrr.
Good luck getting the emotional support giraffe into a movie theater too.

I guess a little longer than 5 minutes b4 pouring scorn and humiliation on people. But, that's just my SOP. Maybe 15 minutes...?
This thread is TEN YEARS OLD, buddy.
That's a bit longer than '5 minutes'.

Yeah... I figured that out all by myself. But, am reluctant to dismiss anyone's observations out of hand.
So how long do we need to look before you admit there's nothing to be found?
Some people still think the Earth is flat.

Yeah... it take two different curves & two different blooms to get that effect. I also use some vibrance & a film grain but, although the grain looks cool when playing, it doesn't seem to record too well (I'll drop it for any future night movies).
If I could request a version without film grain, that would be great.
I love the green look, I just hate the film grain effect. Remember, it's a representation of night vision, the player is not actually looking through an NVG set.
I'd expect film grain on a first-person shooter, not a strategy game.

I've been experimenting with a 'night vision mode', to complement Ramblers mod, since "A day at the Beach'.
I'm still not happy with it, but it's getting there...
I like how you got the 'laser beam' effect for the tracers all lit up nice.

Erm. The stock textures for the facades of buildings in Shock Force 2 are 1024 X 256. Kieme's buildings use 2048 X 512 pixels textures. His windows, doors etc are twice the size as well.
Well then.

Went through the thread, 33 results for those affected. (might have double counted someone so take with a grain of salt.) I don't know much about online payment methods and security but () 's responds doesn't sit well with me. I think Ill hold off on buying the newest game for now.
Well you can count me out of your ignorance, and strike my name off your silly list too.

You mean Kieme's HD mods? Am using em. They make a difference. Using em in CMSF2 as well.
They shouldn't make a bit of difference in CMSF2, because CMSF2 doesn't have the half-sized textures of it's predecessor.
I suppose if you like the way they look, that's one thing, but there's no extant technical reason you need the HD mod in CMSF2.

It may be psychological, but I modded the hell out of CMSF1 to improve its look, but the vanilla CMSF2 looks comparably good.
The most likely explanation was the significantly smaller size of textures in SF1. Check out SF1 with the "CMSF in HD" mod.

They've gotten progressively nicer since FI. Black Sea, Red Thunder and Final Blitzkrieg were absolutely exceptional on release. And with SF2 the only major mods I've installed (besides effects type stuff) are Kieme's buildings. I think I am only using one vehicle mod. They did great work on it.
Nice vid, btw.
Thanks.
I think this might be the first title I don't bother modding, except for sounds.
. . . and maybe some new uniforms. I hate those US ones. Who wears greyish-blue in the desert?
. . . and your voice going, "aaaaaaaa!!!!!"
That would probably be it.

Is it just me, or does SF2 look really nice?
I find myself just kinda staring at the screen some times.

Hello, newbie here but this entry came up after my search today and I have to jump in. (Too cool that it’s a 10+ year thread!)
Was coming back from lunch in Pasadena, CA today and heard that unmistakable sounds of a low and slow prop plane. Immediately know it’s big for the sound, but the six engines were surprising. Double take. Stop and gape. Never seen anything like it.
Dad was a private pilot and I grew up around aviation. I am certain the extra engines were NOT fuel nacelles; it was low enough to discern the blades. Or at least, to see all six were the same.
Am so very puzzled and would welcome any additional thoughts!
klf
The only currently flying six-engine plane I know of is the AN-225, and there is only one of those in the entire world, and it doesn't have propellers.
It's highly likely you were simply mistaken.
If it wasn't for your post, I wouldn't be wasting my time here either lol
