Al Basra IED movie

While playing on the Devfile server I realised a lot of guys are pretty retarded when it comes to laying IEDs. They lay like a daisy chain across the road or bridge. Yes you have the best chance of killing someone, but come on who the hell is not gonna see that? Lay them in 1 large clump on the side of the road, so you only see 1 of them, preferably in a dark spot, the darker the better. If you're an insurgent and only have 2, it MIGHT not kill an abrams, but its better than him spotting them and getting shot anyway. Besides its more fun cause he could get disabled and you could screw around with him

With the speed most people drive those tanks you could place a clump in the middle of the road.

very cool monkey, i see you getting better and better in each of those video

the farther you are from the target, the better. its best to team up with someone who has binoculars to spot the target.

yea the most succesfull were wen I had the opportunity to get far away from the road
then My squad had a safe place to spawn and they all acted as spotters
on my side i could keep them updated with the general movements of th enemy

funniest were when I ran at an enemy APC unloading troop with my IED in my hand throwing it on the ground and exploding with it

unforunately I didn't recorded it

Top effort, 5*. Music is very effective. Perhaps you should nick the intro that the taliban use on their liveleak videos to make it even more authentic. Perhaps do some poses with your rpg's and stolen M16's perhaps with a hostage in the middle. I'll stop there, I think I've gone to far already.

Black humor is great.
The reality of IED's is horrible but I think we can have fun without causing any real harm.

The reality of stafing civilians with an A-10 in an urban center/mosque is horrible but I think we can have fun without causing any real harm.

Lets drop this INGSOC bias once and for all shall we.

AD&A this is not pointed at you(just wanted to misquote you) but to everyone/anyone that is getting their panties in a bunch with regards to seeing "untermenschen" fighting back.

I am gettin my buddy who just got back from Iraq into this mod and I am scared to show him these videos. I know its fun and all but my buddies have died because of these things in real life and I dont think my buddies that are ok would enjoy this. So I will make sure he doesnt ever play Al basrah.

I'm the guy driving the suicide car in the second video that was posted. I've lost 1 friend, and another was featured on CNN's special about the Ft.Campbell Fisher House (massive head trama) from a VBIED's. Lost another friend to a regular IED.

If I can still find it funny enough, I wouldn't worry to much about it. Some people react differently though, so I don't know.

Funny thing is I just went to play that map because the server im normally on never has (420) and I cant play it. My fps goes to a dead 1 and it just lags and lags even though my ping is fine.
