Thing is, I like my games for two reasons. I like OpFlash and its ilk for the geeky realism and I lament the passing of the "proper" Tom Clancy games for that same reason. But I also like BF3 and 4 and CoD and MoH and hell, even Wolfenstein because sometimes I just want to blow shit up. With a jeep. Covered in C4.

Was this second hand? If not it's probably a chinese clone. PTS stopped production of the licenced Magpul stuff a while back. You might find a nunchuck style battery fits better. My MOE guard fits a 2600mAh 7.4v nunchuck lipo and a Deans adaptor and a Gate NanoAB mosfet just fine. Gets a bit tight when you start adding rails sections though as the threaded inserts they use stick in quite a bit.

You should come to the Mall sometime. Just saying...

No, it makes it look like a Pulse Rifle and that is AWESOME.

I loved the planning aspect of the old R6 games too. Placing all your team members for breaching, letting your sniper go weapons free at just the right time.....happy days! You're right though, modern FPS games are by and large far too easy these days. There's whole sections of CoD now where your actions make so little difference that you may as well not even be there! And just what HAS happened to leaning?

Battlefield isn't good for tactics unless those tactics are "run about like a loon, don't follow orders and for Gods sake don't play as a team". The ORIGINAL Operation Flashpoint is a proper tactical game. This is after all what spawned ArmA (for those that don't know, the studio that developed OpFlash and the publisher fell out, one kept the name the other kept the anal attention to detail and massively steep learning curve). OpFlash is very free roaming too. Dragon rising is a little bit more "on rails" in terms of the campaign but that's not always a bad thing. Red River plays pretty much like any other sort of tactical shooter to be honest. It is good fun though. If you want to learn team play, have a look at the early Ghost Recon games and the early Rainbow Six games (Particularly Raven Shield which is awesome).

On the grounds that you're posting here I assume you are aware that the internet has shops that sell this stuff....right? For less money too.

They'll react in the exact same way. I'm assuming (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that not many people posting on here in shock and dismay at the attitude exhibited on Arrse have actually spent much time on different forums? The herd mentality is prevalent among a great many of these internet based hives of douchebaggery, it matters not what an individual member might think of something, if the forum bellends smell blood in the water there's always a feeding frenzy. Chalk it up to experience and get on with your life. It's not worth your time and trouble.

If your pc runs sturmovik well it should handle of:dr ok. Plus you'll be able to get it cheap now. Red river is good too (if somewhat less...."tactical").

Opflash:dr is a great game. On pc.

Not sure if they still do it, but it used to be the case that if you have damaged or missing parts you could send them the damaged parts with the barcode from the box and they will replace them for free.

Microsoft security essentials works absolutely fine for me. Ditto Windows firewall. It's as much about being careful where you point your browser and not opening blind links in unsolicited email.

Airsoft zone have the gen2 in stock.

HTH

Norton? *sucks through teeth* well...THERE'S your problem. Seriously though, Norton is a massive resource hog that works little to no better than the free antivirus packages out there. Some companies actually class it as malware because it's so difficult to get rid of.

Welcome to the spend/excite/disappoint cycle that is airsoft. As long as the "that's exactly what I wanted" part out weighs the "fuck me I paid xxx for THIS" then you're laughing.

Dammit. I've just found their "Sci-Fi" section. How the hell am I supposed to save to go on holiday now?

In general the M93r is a bonkers load of fun in one tidy little package. The KWA one that I had a look at seems quite nicely put together and a reasonable weight (metal slide, polymer frame). Generally a well thought of brand. I'm considering getting one myself to be honest.

Viper Tactical Molle torch http://www.vipertacticalshop.co.uk/viper-tactical-molle-torch.html?cookies_accepted=Y Bright enough to navigate by, not a searchlight. Mid skirmish the only attachment I need to add or remove is a tracer which I can do blind because I know where the pouch is on my rig and I know where the end of my gun is (it has a QD thread on the flash hider to make life easier).

Which is the WHOLE point in my eyes. If you like the look of it then go for it. Ares have a bot of a reputation for unreliable internals but the current amoeba series seem to be addressing that as they are selling well. The thing to bear in mind about the Honey Badger is that it's an M4 at heart with a different stock and a suppressor sunk back inside the handguard. I think they look quite nice regardless of how aesthetically accurate they may or may not be. As far as I am aware the actual Honey Badger hasn't made it into mass production anyway so it's not like there's loads of real ones about to compare to.

Dismounting to fight makes you Dragoons or mounted infantry. Firing from horseback would still qualify you as cavalry though (which is after all, where carbines started).

Interesting....

Larp stuff usually has a stiff core so you can twat each other with them without completely knackering them. Unfortunately for most sites that means they're TOO stiff. Of course that hasn't stopped someone at the Malls getting 18 kills with a dildo.

If you want an ACTUAL honey badger replica it's your only choice at the minute. If you want an M4 based gun then the world is your oyster, there's feckin hundreds out there.

It's OK, just a bit of lighthearted ribbing Personally I've yet to find a SCAR with a tracer on to be too long to use in CQB so I don't entirely subscribe to the whole "must have short gun for indoors" idea. I still want an MP5 SD6, an MP5K and a P90 but more cos I think they're cool....
