RPG Infantry - 5/13/2007

Man, modern missile units were long over due. RPG guys, Javelin guys, stinger missiles guys and like. Glad to see you've made one. Heck of job!
 
Well, Steph, most RPGs don`t need anything much faster then 1 FPS, since half the time there is an NPC explaining how his grandson got lost in the woods, not much action there, but in an FPS you sure do need more than 1 FPS cos the lagging might get you killed by an RPG, especially if you are playing MP. If you know what I mean ;)
 
24 FPS is standard movie speed.

True, but television uses 25 FPS (at least PAL does; I think NTSC uses 24, but then NTSC is inferior in pretty much every respect to PAL). I believe that 25 FPS is required for the illusion of true movement to be complete, although to the naked eye there may be no difference between 24 and 25.

That's why I don't like PVP, especially near IF or SW, because the FPS slows down so much my DPS plummets, I resort to AOE, and I end up needing to be REZed.
 
This unit is awesome, a definite download!!!

Intentional misinterpretation between First Person Shooter (FPS) and Frames Per Second (FPS)?

Plotinus, you should have been in the military, you toss out acronyms like a vet (well, a veteran I know anyways).
 
As for Kinboat, I believe his work has been surpassed by many unit makers quite some time ago...

Blasphemer! :trouble:

j/k There are a lot of great new works out there. But you gotta admit, :bowdown:Kinboat's work is pretty comprehensive considering he hasn't added to it in the last 2 years.

@ Dawg - Awesome work here, I'm amazed at how quickly you were able to put it together.

The corporate world is (I'm guessing) at least as bad. I'll never forget the first time I saw a desktop name plaque with the letters "MD" after the guy's name. I couldn't help wondering why a "Medical Doctor" would be working in a bank when of course it stood for, "Managing Director".

They are bad as well, but I believe the military is tops. I got an online "Marine Dictionary", and almost all of it was acronyms (when copied to Microsoft Word, it was pushing 40-50 pages).

I have to find where I saved that....

"Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P."---Adrian Cronauer, Good Morning Vietnam

That quote is classic.
 
Thanks again everyone.

@ Al Costa, Maybe...

Edit: See Preview Below. Any comments on an African or Middle Eastern Variant? I'll make at least one and maybe two, since this seems like a much needed unit for a lot of folks. Note: I'll use the same animations as the first unit.

Classic, but stolen from Louis Jordan's "GI Jive":

BFC the CPL, the SGT, the LT,
CP the OD, the MP makes you do KP.
It's the GI jive, man alive...
If you're PVT, your duty
Is to salute the LIEUT.
But if you brush the LIEUT,
The MP makes you KP on the QT.
It's just the GI jive, man alive...

BTW and FWIW, I hate acronyms, IMNHSO.
 
Black PJs and a white headscarf?
 
Just a thought: maybe give the Middle Eastern dude a turban or something, so at civ-scale its obvious where he's from

Instead of a turban, keep the Kaffiyeh you have on him now. A turban is more like India/Kashmir/Persia...

Just my 2 cents...
