You must work very quickly or spend a lot of time every night or so on this-it looks to be progressing very quickly :thumbs:

and an explanation for my "Morbidly obese" and "Kinky" comments, I get sick of pretty much everyone giving the same comments about something using very similar phrases/words, so I generally make up new compliments every so often just to stop myself feeling like I'm saying exactly the same thing as 500 people have just said before me even if I am still pretty much still saying the same thing, I won't do it any more though as it seems to use up people's time trying to point out that what I just said makes no sense. Finally, no, I didn't mean to link my comment with "Phat" but well done for thinking of it.

So unless your enemy is an Ewok or crouching right behind you for reasons I cannot fathom, it's better to fly and use the jet's flames.

Interesting attack. Is there an ammo limit for it? Or does it use the energy from the jump-pack itself?

^It's a weapon whose fire points are located on the jetpack's places-where-flames-come-out (forgot what they are called). So that means there is no reason for it do drain energy from the fuel meter; it would be silly and impossible.

I don't quite see what you are meaning if you mean that the flames come out of the jet-pack jets then I don't. . .

I'm sorry could you rephrase that I don't quite see what you mean. :?

Basically the weapon is a "smoke-and-mirrors" sort of thing. It looks like it's part of the jetpack, but it's actually just a plain old weapon that happens to be coming out of the same place the jetpack fx come out of. So even though it looks like it's part of the jetpack it isn't.

He means that it is a weapon separate to the jetpack, which fires flames out of the same place that the jet pack usually shoots flames out of when it is flying, but the jetpack doesn't do that unless the player activates the weapon manually. did that help?

If I remember it correctly, Maveritchell said we would be able to have BF Extreme, Conversion Pack and Unleashed, plus three or so maps in our add-on folders at the same time; So it's fairly big but nothing to worry about.

I hope your right. The conversion pack was the biggest thing I have ever downloaded for BF2!

That campaign-esq stuff looks fun. And is it just the way the pic was taken, or did you figure a way to add a first person view with a lightsaber!?

No, that's just the camera zoomed in as it does when you move close to a wall.

That was referencing the number of mission scripts, not specifically the size of the mod. Right now, it's not any larger than a large addon map, though (it's about 400 MB). It might get a little larger, but the max download size you're probably looking at is between 100 and 200 MB - it won't be comparatively very large.

Phew, my internet has been slow recently in download and upload (speeds as low as 23 KB/s) hopefully, it'll be faster than this and back to normal by the time I download something else but it's good to know this isn't too big a filesize.

Is it possible to get a defeat while on wave mode? from what I read on the previous pages, the team you play as doesn't have a reinforcement limit. is this correct?

Oh, it's very easy to be defeated on wave mode. As soon as you fail any one of the goals, you lose (on every wave mode, "survive" will be the primary goal, so if you die, you lose).

Hence the term: "survive"
If you die, you don't survive, do you?

It is common in most survival games to have etleast three lives.
