It's a bit silly categorizing weapons by side, because some of the weapons are used by two or more sides or don't specifically have a 'side'. Anyone mind if I categorize them by type instead? --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 06:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC) | It's a bit silly categorizing weapons by side, because some of the weapons are used by two or more sides or don't specifically have a 'side'.

Question about template
Hi, Awesome page that you have here.
Love the layout, do you mind posting where you brought the design from?
All the best CrogBromy

Arma: Cold War Assault
As of recently, original Operation Flashpoint became known as Arma: Cold War Assault (complete with a new box art and is now part of BIS' own Arma franchise instead of CM's Operation Flashpoint franchise that includes, developed by CM, Dragon Rising and Red River.
Arma: Cold War Assault on BIS site & on Steam.
Which begs the question: should we move the page to Arma: Cold War Assault (which is also version 1.99 that anyone can update their existing Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis to) or leave it as it was originally released.
Personally, I'm leaning towards the moving option since BIS got the rights to this game back and this is how it called now, complete with the latest update to the original version. --Masterius 14:42, 15 August 2011 (CDT)

Mac 10
I think the machine pistol in the game is actually a MAC 11, and not a MAC 10. I have a real life replica of a MAC 11, the 9mm version of the famous MAC 10, and it features a much slimmer body... Just like the one in game.
