I doubt they'll let you play as an old fashioned terrorist.

It's part of the American aid package or something like that - all I know for sure is that the long M16's Israel is still using are mostly from the Vietnam days.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Weren't the Vietnam era M-16s a complete shower of ****e, though?  Kept jamming and failing, so much that captured AK-47s were a prized posession?

[color=66ff00]Yeah, saw a documnetary on that. They were told to only use the M-16's due to symbolism but they didn't trust the guns due to frequent jams and the fact that the clip exit could be easily dented rendering it useless.

How many third world guerilla outfits do you see driving around in flatbed Toyotas with M-16's? Even the A-Team used AK's albeit chromed ones. :D

You know, I just realised, I noticed this with horror yet while playing Cs: Condition Zero felt absolutely no shock at Irish terrorists being one of the enemies.

Then again why the **** would the IRA steal a nuke? Stupid CS writers.

[color=66ff00]Are you kidding?!? Do you know how many pints of Guinness you can get for a nuke these days? ;)

THey probably saw Patriot Games and thought it was real.

The M16 certainly is not the most reliable assault rifle in the world; the Israeli-made Galil is even based off the AK-47 as opposed to the M16. The AK/Galil can be dropped in sand, mudded up, and generally filthitized, and still fire pretty much perfectly. The M16, well... at least (IIRC) getting wet doesn't bother it. :nervous:

Games that explore political quagmires are always a touchy subject. Especially when a side is chosen in detriment of the other, and the reality is twisted to fit the political view of the authors.
Strangely enough, we don´t see anyone making a Iraqi Resistence vs. US Army mod. It´s always the other way around.
Me, i prefer to play the underdog. So unless they make the mod playable on both factions, i won´t touch this with a 10 foot pole.
I want to play the 12 year old boy throwing 1/2 pound stones at the 30 ton tanks. Playing the Reuters camera-man/reporter could be interesting too, to see how many tanks i can destroy with my Sony Handycam with focus lenses, loaded with a high explosive 38mm role of film...
:rolleyes:
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

I never used a Galil, so I can't say for sure. I've never heard that, but I wouldn't be surprised to discover that some of the corners and protrusions can be used for such... noble purposes. :p
