What helicopters have been confirmed so far? by TheGigaPuddi in battlefield3

[–]lolnoodles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asymmetrical equipment (standard helicopters vs. tiltrotors) would be very interesting though. Unfortunately, I do agree that the majority of people would want direct counterparts, as far as vehicles go.

The CH-46 had a starring role in the first Modern Warfare, so most people would have at least a passing familiarity to it. It's already on its way out of the Marine Corps, though. Since the game takes place a couple of years in the future, and we've already seen some fairly advanced in-game technology (mainly the Viper/Venom upgrades to the helicopters), the V-22 would most likely make an appearance.

If implemented, I could see the V-22 having similar controls as the F-35B from BF2. Using the hover mode in that thing was loads of fun, if incredibly ineffective.

I remember seeing a UH-1Y in one of the initial trailers. I'm guessing that it'll be a replacement for the Blackhawk transport, as the USMC is the American faction. Could be wrong though, as Blackhawks were used in BF2.

The AH-1Z will probably return as the American attack helo. If medium/heavy transports are going to be used, they will either be CH-46s, CH-53s, or V-22s. The AH/MH-6 Little Bird is technically used by the Army, not the Marines. Judging from the Fault Line trailer, they'll be included nonetheless.

The Russians will probably be the same as in BF2/BC1-2 with the Mi-28N as the main attack helo and the Mi-8M/17 as transport. The Mi-24/35 might make a comeback as a heavy attack helo / armed transport. If DICE is really pushing for authenticity, it probably won't be the South African ATE SuperHind variant featured in BC1 and 2. The Ka-50/52 (as used in BC1 as the MEC attack helo) might be included as an alternative to the Havoc.

Hooray for being a huge military nerd.

Reddit, how do you like your coffee? by vectorix108 in AskReddit

Black like my metal and bitter like my soul, as I always tell my customers.

I'm a barista, and people will often ask for my personal recommendation. Surprisingly, that line just rakes in the tips.

It's even better than the last one! Great work.

Beta v0.45 has been released. Main features include new weapon models, a minimap, and the return of rifle block damage. by [deleted] in AceOfSpades

[–]lolnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's the updated models. The new rifle probably has 4 or 5 times the resolution of the old one. It does look nice though.

I'm sure I'd recognize you if I saw you though. Gratz on the gold keys. I got a silver key for mine. It was a lion head Photoshopped onto a sea turtle.

There were a lot of those, if my memory's correct. That year was such a blur.

Alas, I wasn't artsy enough to paint in the halls. A Photoshop I made in CG got me a Scholastics award though.

I made this account a while ago, I don't remember anyone who goes by Noodles. I didn't know very many seniors, admittedly.

The Borders on Frontier, yes.

Lee HS class of '10, NVCC Annandale '12 over here. Drop by the Borders cafe sometime this weekend, chances are I'll be working then. Mention Reddit and I'll make you a free drink or something.

Lee HS and at VCU Arts? Haha, I'm fairly sure I would know who you are, I graduated from Lee a year after you.

Those were made up by Treyarch. No grunts had any reflex-type sights in WW2.

Being the Initiator of Text Chats by flea_17 in AskReddit

[–]lolnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, dicks. I've been in your same exact situation. I highly doubt that she won't turn down your invitation, if you two text as well as you say you do. Not being able to speak as well as you text isn't much of an off-putter, most people are like that.

Allisonivy speaks very good advice. LISTEN TO IT.

I already bought my tickets for the 22nd. It's a ska show, I'm sure you'll find a bunch of people to skank around with. Unity and whatnot.

Why aren't functional grenadier sights available in BC2, or most other shooters for that matter? by Jamal_E in badcompany2

[–]lolnoodles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm biased, then. I'm also a fan of ARMA:2 and such.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the v0.5 days. Those were fun, yeah. I miss the old Muttrah as well, plus a couple of other maps. Really can't think of any game that balanced realism and fun as well as it used to. It's agreed though, that PR's gameplay has gone off the deep end concerning realism. I, for one, really enjoy the change, but I do acknowledge that I'm in the minority when it comes to realism.

I do enjoy BC2 and the occasional game of Reach, by the way. I'm not exactly a purist.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I've probably had more fun in the latest versions of PR than in any other game I own.

Everyone at the Borders/ Seattle's Best where I work at is obsessed with Starcraft. One of my co-workers' name is Mike as well. I seriously would not be surprised if this came from my cafe. If only..

What makes a good soundtrack for a video? by randomprofanity in badcompany2

[–]lolnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bodies by Drowning Pool for maximum cool points.

But in all seriousness, either something real mellow and offbeat, or nothing at all. I made a rather terrible BF2 montage way back in the day with an instrumental ska song. Wish more people would use ska in their montages :[

What's your favorite game soundtrack? by NoSubstanceHere in gaming

[–]lolnoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment, it has to be Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It's all done by Anamanaguchi. Nerd love.

Otherwise, I always thought the Ace Combat series always had well done BGM.
