- that there are BMP2 wrecks in several maps, but no playable BMP2?

iirc those are BMD wrecks(on Fools example)

[NyteMyre]

Dunno actually. First time I heard of BMD's

[DankE_SPB]

BMD-1 Airborne Infantry Fighting Vehicle

[SpectreRSG]

And that some maps still have the sun setting/rising in the wrong direction (barracuda)...?

[Gore]

Nice info

You can reload your grappling hook.

[Zulnex]

Those are very interesting facts. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[Tomato-Rifle]

There is a hidden PKM pickup kit on Operation Barracuda

The Chinese forces get a boat on Operation Barracuda in the 16 layer mode

In a Bradley, you can shoot a tow almost immediately after the first one

There used to be a M82 sniper rifle and Duel Uzis pickup kit in Al Basrah

Grenade traps kill more friendlies than enemys

[J.Burton[EEF]]

In a Bradley, you can shoot a tow almost immediately after the first one

That's no secret, it's how it's designed. 2 TOW sleeves, 2 firable TOW's. Simple

- that there is a prison in West Fallujah?

I like to think of the building in the south as a decrepit insane asylum.

Great post. Did you know the hill around the mine shaft on Kozelsk is easily crawled under and shot through?

This is when I started playing PR :B

Did you know you can run over or breach slugh a civilian without penalties? (check please)

Did you know that, in Korengal Valley, always have a Rifleman Specialist, specially if you plan on going inside the caves, since there are some holes you simply can't get out except with a graplin hook? (learned this the hard way. it was a small room with a table and 2 plates on top of it. My grenade took care of me and my 2 sqd members. hhee. since then I never enter the cave again kk)

Did you know that not every red car is a bomb car?

Did you know that ->>MOST (NOT ALL) <<- long range engagements (200 meters+) with a rifle, the winner is normally the person that waits for the full settle of the rifle (usually 1 second after the first person made a shot, unless it's a noob)?

Did you know that ARs are great for CQBs, so are Pistols (better than rifles in some ocasions)?

Did you know you can get A** RAP** in CQB's if you are an american soldier against a MEC crewman?

Did you know the most important graphic option is the View Distance, followed by resolution?

Did you know bunkers could get A** RAP** too? They can blow up! (happened to me WHILE I was inside... of course I died BUT my rally was still there, unkillable, sucumbed by the scrumbs, died bcz the armor shot again)

Did you know that I like noodles?

Did you know that suppressive fire is EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE even when you want to go stealth? example, get your AR to shoot the enemy, while the other 5 squad members (which were hiden) storm the bunker through the vent without anyone expecting it (since the AR is STILL shooting?) (KASHAN)

Did you know that infantrymen depend heavilly in CAS/Armor Support against enemy armors? (KASHAN - open fields make it hard to be unseen using observation and running)

Did you know my post has a total of 1536 characters (without spaces)/1870 (with spaces), and 345 words?

Cheers!
