Lesson: Why you shouldn't pick up enemy kits.

[Solid Knight]

If it's annoying then just don't pick up enemy weapons, mmkay? And take a second to look at someone on long distances to make sure instead of blasting at everything. Ain't that hard. I personally love the realism aspect of it.

There's nothing realistic about taking their vests and head gear along with the weapon. Really, you'd just take the ammo and gun (or rocket launcher) and not some of the clothing on their body.

It'd be cool if you only took their gun and ammo. I'm not sure if python could do that or not.

Isnt it possible to make some script, something like: If the kit you have picked up is from enemy team/different faction then geometry is not changing?

[Cassius]

The team what allows the HAT to fall in to insurgent hands...is a bad team.

I had a SM who got the HAT on fallujah, he shall go nameless....


"SUPER_TIMO"


....and I told him he was not allowed to leave main unless he got another kit

That nuttin, I was leading a squad on Basra spawning on the firebase at the western village *presses tab* TWO HAT kits inna row. Upon complaining the whole team was like zomg. Their explanation, they like explosions >.< .

Here is what I find annoying:
People shoot before they check who they're shooting at.

2.
All insurgents have "Pink turbans"- I am not asking for camo or anything a like
but having that on your head is a health risk.

If you're playing insurgent -pick up the US/GB kit just for that reason ^^^.
You'd get a helmet (doesn't matter if it's not real) instead of a "shoot here" pinky
Other reasons:it looks funky imo,you'd get at least 1 field dressing,a scoped weapon,
an ammo bag/medic kit/HAT/LAT/officer whatever it's all good.Combat enginear is
# 1( can't tell you why-think jihad :wink and some extra respect from the fellow insurgents.

Well there's not so many realistic reasons for taking the gun either (unless you have no ammo left and are in danger). The sights would be all screwed up for you cause they're set for every indiviual (aimpoints would be easier to fix though but an insurgent that never used one will need some time to get used to it).

This is so true.

I'd like to have ability to pick hostile kits disabled because in real life you are never allowed to leave your rifle to the field. Even if it's out of ammo. Of course it's a different thing for insurgents and taliban.

YouTube - Generation Kill - 1x06 - Some Great Bits (6/7).

One thing that I noticed in the vid is that they had more than two .50 cal hummers. They didn't rely on an APC for transport... We need our light vehicles back. ??:

hey ithappens. if u gotta blend in with the enemy. it helps


havng enemy weapons means its harder for them to tell whos shooting, let ur buddies know. let other squads know. that u guys are "sneaking round" lookin like haji so they don light u up. so when haji shows up. u ran run right on em while good ole classic lookin us troops shoot and take distraction.

Did you NOT read my post? Generation kill is based completely off a real story. A book that was written by a embeded reporter during the Iraq Invasion. But you're saying your video if of real life then fine. I'm just saying the story is true even though it is a TV series made for entertainment.

Wearing an enemy uniform in combat is considered a war crime under article 23 of the 1899 Hague convention;

Besides the prohibitions provided by special Conventions, it is especially prohibited:--
To employ poison or poisoned arms;

To kill or wound treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army;

To kill or wound an enemy who, having laid down arms, or having no longer means of defence, has surrendered at discretion;

To declare that no quarter will be given;

To employ arms, projectiles, or material of a nature to cause superfluous injury;

To make improper use of a flag of truce, the national flag, or military ensigns and the enemy's uniform, as well as the distinctive badges of the Geneva Convention;

To destroy or seize the enemy's property, unless such destruction or seizure be imperatively demanded by the necessities of war.

I imagine that includes helmets

War laws are for wimps. Real men kill everything!

j/k.

[CodeRedFox]

Hey when I first learned about it I voiced up as well. but after being told why (which you all have been told the same) I just dealt with it.

So Get use to it people, its not going anywhere for a while. No fixes, no patches. If and when it get resolved you will all know about it.

But for the time allot of us like the idea. But that's besides to point as it would take allot of work to get it working right.

[Tomato-Rifle]

I pick up enemy kits when i am alone, or my squad got wiped out. Because it will confuse them with the sound of the rifle and the look of the helmet i would be wearing

No, the law deals with Insignia i.e. the USA Flag. If there was a flag or other nationally identifying mark on the helmet or patches, then that would be improper use of signs, but since there isn't, no violation.

how bout this

everyone watch ur lanes
know what your shooting at
id the enemy as friend or foe.

AND IWISH WE HAD THOSE IN REAL LIFElol. so yeha its too easy. if it aint u. check it out. if it realy aint u. light it up

[SocketMan]

I came close to shooting a friendly a few times but stopped at the last moment.For all we know this will teach us all to be more patient
and less trigger happy.Even if it is an enemy no need to rush things
if he does not see you.Love the new "observe" marker btw

[Solid Knight]

Pro-tip: Don't take the enemy's RPG kit then run towards a friendly APC with it pointing at them.
