Dear all,

We thought we'd give you a little treat again for showing your continued support and patience in waiting for 0.4. Below we have an IED as well as a British frag nade, hope you enjoy!

I wish we could show you more at this point, there is so much going on in the background and dev's are really pushing hard to get things done. See you on the forums!

I'm impressed with some of those textures on those renders. I'm looking forward to this upgrade of PR.

Very great renders. The background finally acheived a realistic feel to it, which is much better than previous renders.

However one thing bugs me. The IED.

Does this signal the phase in which production is starting for insurgents?

Well, we have been talking about changing the SLAM models. Or it could replace C4 for the MEC engineer. Maybe we decided claymores should be U.S.M.C. only? So many options for this little pipe bomb... I guess you'll have to wait and see.

I agree about the IED. That seems like it is kind of sterotyping and pushing the MEC as nothing more then radical jihadist instead of a professional military force.

So um does this mean that we'll get Terrorist as well as British soldiers in .4? WOOT!

No. Do not assume anything of the sort with terrorists. To be politically correct, PR is thinking Insurgents. However insurgents are one of the last things on the list of PR to do, because getting those Brits in are priority #1. They are only thinking about doing the insurgents.

Those scuffed blued metal textures worn at the edges...are those taken from files that come with the orignal BF2 for various guns or are they your own creations? If so, did you all make them by hand in Photoshop or some paint program or are they fully photographic? The wear on edges are pretty impressive.

Oh yes, and please do insurgents, and create map/scenarios that involve and reward insurgency type tactics; attacks on motorcades through long winding roadways for example.

MEC and PLA should have had Semtex instead of C4 from the beginning. With a phone attached...that's an IED.

Looks like we might get the Brits and an Insurgent faction. I believe Eggman hinted at this before. I might have misread him.

If any of the Dev's would like me to design improvised weaponry for any "insurgent" force, I'd be happy to help out. The US Gov won't let me build the real things no more, so my former talents are going to waste.

To the person who said that an IED belies a professional military force:

I have seen pages from Al-Quiada's bomb making field manuals. I recognized everything. It was an arab translation of "ST 31-210 Improvised Munitions", a US Army field manual. The CIA, Natick, and the Aberdeen proving grounds developed most of the insurgent's "crude but effective" devices during the cold war.

Improvised warfare is a science and a profession unto itself.

Griffon2-6 · Post by **Griffon2-6** » 2006-09-07 01:04

Yes, but are IEDs standard issue for the US Army? Marines? Even the PLA has satchel charges. Professional Middle Eastern armies should have C4, as a result of trade with various western countries.

Well, if there going to be politically correct for the war thats goin on now in Iraq doesnt that make theat group terrorist because that is what I believe is politically correct for the time being... And yes I sure as hell hope Brits are priority 1

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » 2006-09-07 01:29

Im not one to argue on behalf of real world issues. However I know for a fact PR will not model a "terrorist" faction. An "Insurgent" faction was all that was mentioned.
