You raise some interesting points there. I'll see if I can answer them. | |||
*The MP5SF is simply a regular MP5 with a semi-auto only trigger pack, there are a number of differences between it and the HK94. | |||
*The G36C is the most common 5.56 system, but certain services do issue other ones (I think at least one issues the Steyr AUG instead, and the MOD Police does issue the L85A2, alongside the HK MP7.) | |||
*The -C model is still capable of stopping the target with the first round under 100m. | |||
*Most AFOs and SFOs are issued semi-auto weapons, but the use of fully automatic ones can be authorised if the situation dictates. | |||

==Oshii== | |||
The C96 may technically be a WWI weapon, but it's still frequently associated with WWII. Most of the weapons in his works are based more on author appeal than anything else (although I'm pretty sure that aside from the C96 and MG42, most of the guns in ''Stray Dog'' were more a matter of him finally having actual blank-converted weapons available due to it being shot in Taiwan instead of Japan). | |||
The C96 is Oshii's favorite pistol, hence it's inclusion in the Kerberos Saga; it has little-to-nothing to do with it being in ''Star Wars''. And the gas mask effect isn't ripped from Star Wars either; if you compare the two, you'll notice that the Panzer Cops' breathing sound has more of a hiss to it, akin to what a real gas mask sounds like. | |||
I might make a page for the ''Fast Food Grifters'' movie at some point, but right now I'm trying to fix the anime section's inexcusable shortage of ''Black Jack'' (I'm trying to fight the ever-rising tide of moe crap). I've also considered the possibility of an Oshii category, but I'd rather wait till more of his filmography is here (especially more of his live-action work) before running it by an admin.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 01:17, 10 September 2011 (CDT) | |||

I was planning to restore the page after your first message but [[User:Ben41|Ben41]] actually beat me to it. My main issue is that it just doesn't seem complete. Does the game really only have 4 firearms? Additionally, you need images of the guns themselves, just like the other pages you've done.

Much as it's an interesting hypothesis, Sam's sheath isn't really much like a real captive bolt gun; I'll rewrite that section to play it down a little in, um, roughly two weeks when the PC version comes out and I can replace all the caps with full HD versions. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 12:45, 30 December 2013 (EST) | |||
:Well, a lot of the stuff about swords is a little irrelevant since there's no way Sam's sword could go together like a normal katana and still have the HF blade functionality; if the blade vibrated incredibly quickly the guard would have to be attached to the weapon securely or it would disintegrate. I doubt the port will be as lazy as that considering it's already been revealed that there's an option to increase the number of parts the game generates (so presumably no more stuff like half of Excelsus suddenly vanishing), I doubt they'd do something that complicated and not bother to add other graphics options too. | |||
:As for MGS4, I do still intend to do it, I've just been a little busy with other things (quitting energy drinks and switching to electronic cigarettes, among others) and it'd be quite a substantial investment of time to redo all of the caps on that page and get the ones I missed (like the military hardware in the final speech, there's a few things in there that aren't present elsewhere).

== RE: Lone Gunmen == | |||
Thanks for the kudos. I'd love to tackle ''The Lone Gunmen,'' but I don't have access to it. I thought I might next touch up the ''Millennium'' page (along with some other stuff), mainly with a technical overhaul on the gun info (there's cross-over with the weapons from the Vancouver-filmed portion of ''X-Files'') and some formatting. Would like to add caps and all to that too, but same problem, don't have access to the series at present.<BR><BR> You're more than welcome to go ahead with starting a TLG page yourself if you're so inclined - I'll be happy to help any way I can. As for a Chris Carter category, well, I suppose there's enough there with three series and two films that can be accounted to him on the site, but most of that is X-Files, which we already have a template for (though not an actual 'X-Files' category, so might wanna see about that as well or otherwise). In any event, not really my call - I'd suggest checking with one or a couple of the Admins (funkychinaman and/or Ben41 would be my first picks) and seeing what their word on the matter would be.

Don't know if you remember, but you recommended on ''[[The Road]]'' talk page that I watch ''Threads''. It took a while, but I finally did (found it on a free streaming platform) and I can see why it was only broadcast a few times. "Horrific" doesn't even ''begin'' to describe the quality of life depicted after a wide-scale nuclear exchange. Considering what I've read regarding its production, though, it surprises me that they opted to decidedly have the USSR be the first ones to use nukes. A more ambiguous approach seems like it would be better for the film's message of, basically, "We all lose."

== Boiling Point == | |||
I did find your page before playing BP and it's actually part of what got me interested in playing it. | |||
I am very much enjoying my time in Realia. (and probably would have missed dual smgs if it wasn't for the page.) | |||
([[User talk:Samz|talk]]) 12:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC) | |||
I've thankfully not encountered any real serious bugs so far so I am enjoying it. | |||
I've only really played Far Cry 1-2. (and a tiny bit of 3) | |||
I do think FC2 has a few advantages over boiling point in the similar sorta "Mercenary FPS" style, such as weapon jamming being unjammed with an animation instead of always misfires fixed by just trying to shoot again and more weapons/enemies using weapons. (Such as how you'll encounter enemies with snipers or Uzis.) | |||
Boiling Point definitely has a far more fleshed out money and inventory system which I appreciate, as well as being more freeform in the plot since you aren't forced to work for everyone like FC2. | |||

Thanks for the message. Yeah I heard about that. Supreme shame. I actually shared a couple posts about his passing with the quote ''"Death is inevitable.

And yes, I'm a serious Robohead - I bought the Alex Murphy edition preorder which got me to play it 2 days in advance. I did a burn through of it right away, plan to do another at some point hopefully soon. Was nice to have Dr. Weller himself do the voice, helped make a difference. Though his performance seemed a bit phoned in and some of the dialogue is strange to hear from Robo. But these are very minor gaffs, which there are maybe a few more but even so the game does a good job at the wide brushstroke of being a nostalgic narrative action experience. It's fun and packed full of fanservice and links to the lore of the franchise, while being challenging at times.<BR> If you're a fan of the films it's a must-have - I'd say even at full price but especially now its being put on sales. If you're a serious gamer well, it's rather middling as FPSs go.. You'll definitely want it discounted. Even so it's the best RoboCop game we've gotten this side of 16-bit RoboCop vs The Terminator. <BR> As for the final question.. eh, as said 'no man know the moment nor the hour'. Just glad he could do this and will continue to enjoy him being around while I can. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 03:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC) | |||

Your screenshots are too big
Running at 700 - 800 KB is too large for an image file. Please shrink them down in size and most screenshots don't need to be over 1000 pixels wide unless you need to zoom in to prove a weapon ID is correct. thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 09:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: Need Help with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 page
The M240 was easy, but that AT mine's still eluding me. Interesting that an Army soldier is using the Marines' M240G instead of the M240B. Orca1 9904 07:13, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- The newer M240G's do have a rail on the feed tray cover, as do the newer Bravo and Delta models and the M249 SAW. The M240G does not have a heat shield or handguard; this is one of the main identifying characteristics between the Golf and Bravo models of the M240. I assumed the Ghosts were Army since they appear to have the Army-issue Universal Camouflage Pattern on their uniforms in the screenshots. Orca1 9904 22:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Re: RE4 stuf
Thanks for the links! Those will go a long way towards making it better, I'm sure. If only somebody would add support for the 360 rumble! I guess that's a problem of the Microsoft drivers though. Glad you like the page, it should be done soon (I hope!). ManiacallyChallenged

You raise some interesting points there. I'll see if I can answer them.
- The MP5SF is simply a regular MP5 with a semi-auto only trigger pack, there are a number of differences between it and the HK94.
- The G36C is the most common 5.56 system, but certain services do issue other ones (I think at least one issues the Steyr AUG instead, and the MOD Police does issue the L85A2, alongside the HK MP7.)
- The -C model is still capable of stopping the target with the first round under 100m.
- Most AFOs and SFOs are issued semi-auto weapons, but the use of fully automatic ones can be authorised if the situation dictates.

The C96 may technically be a WWI weapon, but it's still frequently associated with WWII. Most of the weapons in his works are based more on author appeal than anything else (although I'm pretty sure that aside from the C96 and MG42, most of the guns in Stray Dog were more a matter of him finally having actual blank-converted weapons available due to it being shot in Taiwan instead of Japan).

And the gas mask effect isn't ripped from Star Wars either; if you compare the two, you'll notice that the Panzer Cops' breathing sound has more of a hiss to it, akin to what a real gas mask sounds like.
I might make a page for the Fast Food Grifters movie at some point, but right now I'm trying to fix the anime section's inexcusable shortage of Black Jack (I'm trying to fight the ever-rising tide of moe crap). I've also considered the possibility of an Oshii category, but I'd rather wait till more of his filmography is here (especially more of his live-action work) before running it by an admin.--PistolJunkie 01:17, 10 September 2011 (CDT)

- Sure. The code of the previous page is on the talk page, so you can use that as a foundation. --Funkychinaman (talk) 01:06, 20 October 2020 (EDT)
Threads
Don't know if you remember, but you recommended on The Road talk page that I watch Threads. It took a while, but I finally did (found it on a free streaming platform) and I can see why it was only broadcast a few times. "Horrific" doesn't even begin to describe the quality of life depicted after a wide-scale nuclear exchange. Considering what I've read regarding its production, though, it surprises me that they opted to decidedly have the USSR be the first ones to use nukes. A more ambiguous approach seems like it would be better for the film's message of, basically, "We all lose." Spartan198 (talk) 09:53, 11 May 2021 (EDT)
Boiling Point
I did find your page before playing BP and it's actually part of what got me interested in playing it. I am very much enjoying my time in Realia. (and probably would have missed dual smgs if it wasn't for the page.) (talk) 12:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
I've thankfully not encountered any real serious bugs so far so I am enjoying it. I've only really played Far Cry 1-2. (and a tiny bit of 3) I do think FC2 has a few advantages over boiling point in the similar sorta "Mercenary FPS" style, such as weapon jamming being unjammed with an animation instead of always misfires fixed by just trying to shoot again and more weapons/enemies using weapons. (Such as how you'll encounter enemies with snipers or Uzis.) Boiling Point definitely has a far more fleshed out money and inventory system which I appreciate, as well as being more freeform in the plot since you aren't forced to work for everyone like FC2.

RE: In Memoriam
Thanks for the message. Yeah I heard about that. Supreme shame. I actually shared a couple posts about his passing with the quote "Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion you are already dead."
That said, yeah, time does fly indeed.
And yes, I'm a serious Robohead - I bought the Alex Murphy edition preorder which got me to play it 2 days in advance. I did a burn through of it right away, plan to do another at some point hopefully soon. Was nice to have Dr. Weller himself do the voice, helped make a difference. Though his performance seemed a bit phoned in and some of the dialogue is strange to hear from Robo. But these are very minor gaffs, which there are maybe a few more but even so the game does a good job at the wide brushstroke of being a nostalgic narrative action experience. It's fun and packed full of fanservice and links to the lore of the franchise, while being challenging at times.
If you're a fan of the films it's a must-have - I'd say even at full price but especially now its being put on sales. If you're a serious gamer well, it's rather middling as FPSs go.. You'll definitely want it discounted. Even so it's the best RoboCop game we've gotten this side of 16-bit RoboCop vs The Terminator.
As for the final question.. eh, as said 'no man know the moment nor the hour'. Just glad he could do this and will continue to enjoy him being around while I can. StanTheMan (talk) 03:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
