I get that the idea of having a “highly skilled” ai is to make it challenging. The issue is that the entire point of using a tactical team and good tactics is to make it as unfair as possible for the bad guy. Getting into an even exchange gunfight with a suspect even after you’ve used all the right tactics just shouldn’t happen all that often.
@Harry_Bumcrack, Ground branch isn’t a tactical shooter in the ARMA sense for single player. If you don’t mind solo work, it can be fun, but it’s more like a more realistic death match game right now in SP.
Thanks guys. I might put it on the back burner for a while yet.
I have been waiting for next month to roll around so I could use my next month’s worth of off-peak data downloading Red Dead Redemption 2. I picked it up during the Summer sale but haven’t had the data allowance to DL it… Until now.
Got an email from our ISP this morning announcing a new satellite plan that I can change to:
Same speed 25Mbps down 5Mbps up - but I could see ‘bursts’ of up to 60/20 off peak depending on network load.
Off Peak is now 0000 (midnight) to 1600. Currently 0100 - 0700
Unlimited data (except video streaming and VPN during peak hours, 1600 - 0000 which is capped at 50GB per month). Currently 90GB peak and 125GB off peak.
And it is $15 per month cheaper and will be activated within the next 48 hours.
Congratulations! I switched to a new unlimited plan after consistently exceeding my 100GB/Month allowance several months in a row (household full of Netflix watchers plus DCS/IL2 updates didn’t help!) and saved money despite the higher base cost.
Cheers. The past couple of months since I bought a 4TB ‘backup’ SSD have killed me WRT data limits - I migrated my Steam library over and reinstalled + updated all those games that I had on an external backup (and bought RDR2 now I have the disc space). Because I am a RPG tragic (and completionist) I reckon RDR2 will keep me entertained for some time to come
The ISP email was a bit creepy “Hi, It looks like you have been downloading a lot of games recently, you might want to take advantage of a new plan that we are launching today…”
At least I was probably profiled by a machine… probably
Female character models? sigh I’d rather they put that time and energy into the rest of the game like the team AI instead of adding something that doesn’t happen in real world in a game that’s supposed to mirror said real world…
Some of the best operators I ever served with were women. It is not just me that thinks so, check this out and while you are at it pay special attention to Shannon Kent.
Yeah, with massively reduced entrance and fitness requirements to be ‘inclusive’… All the Tier 1 operators I’ve heard say they do not want women working in that area for many reasons. I’m not saying they aren’t involved in these units but frontline fighting forces isn’t a good idea.
Um, once again sorry but that is not correct. And physical strength (which I think is what you are getting at there) isn’t everything. All I will add to this conversation is:
I have supported, kept up with in the field and earned the respect of SF soldiers from Australia, the US and UK. At the same time alongside me were women. Some of whom were fitter, smarter, more compassionate and in every way a better soldier than I could ever hope to be.
I will give you one example of a young lass who worked for me and after watching ‘Aliens’ for the first time in about 2004/5 insisted on carrying a MAG-58 on our next patrol. At first I thought no effing way, she was only 5’6" and weighed probably 50kg. But she did it, acquitted herself well and not only earned the nickname ‘Vasquez’ but by the end of the tour had also earned a Sherwood Green beret - she never did selection. She didn’t have to, the lads gave her one.
