Quote from Puddy
I liked the first couple of episodes and especially the interaction between Holder/Linden.
But the rest was pretty crappy.
Yeah, it started off strong.. don't get me wrong.. but like you say, it fell apart quickly., the worst cliche was one of the the muslim characters suspected of being a terrorist
Quote from Senturalol @ people mentioning danish movies
It's not a movie?

Most authentic looking Russian village ever! I love those houses [Blocked Image: http://www.tribeuniverse2.com/Tribe-Universe/Smileys/default/wub.gif]

Halo with dinosaurs? No thanks.

The Killing US - Cliffhanger ending? Fuck off. Anyone who hasn't seen it, don't bother, Forbrydelsen is a million times better than it's half-assed remake.
Torchwood Miracle Day - Built up to a "I have no idea whatsoever how this is happening" storyline for 9 episodes to "here's what's been happening, now this is now it ends" final in an hour... lame.

Congratulations mate!

Quote from Jake Gilla
The EDGE article said the game flashes back to what happened in New York, so there will be old fat Max in Sao Paulo, and Max with hair in New York.Personally I'm excited about the Sao Paulo location, but I don't have deep connection to the original games.
Ahhh then that might not be so bad. You must play the originals, they are timeless classics, especially the first one!

Quote from Puddy
Look at basically any regiment that operates in Chechnya or was a part of the force in South Ossetia... that shit ain't tight, dawg
I mean you've read it yourself; dog food!
Also ... how big is Alpha? They're not even technically part of the Army! But yes, the russians are tidying up, but have some way to go before they're done. Their Izlom-camo shows they are on the right track... so sexy <333Dagestan and Ingushetia are neighbours to Chechnya, so yeah I know.. and South Ossetia was 2008.. 3 years ago so things have progressed since then. Btw apparently BF3 takes place in 2030 so really they should not look so ragtagged eh?

Alpha is part of the FSB, not the army but they still operate in military operations, they were in Afghanistan in the 80s when alpha was still under the KGB.
QuoteAre you sure it's an Altyn btw? The maska comes in several variants and some look pretty much like the one you mentioned but are, as far as I know, far more common.Titanium helmetry ain't cheap lol
Maska isn't used so much anymore, spetsnaz units in the MVD use them in all variations but afaik Altyn and K6-3 (a more heavy duty successor to altyn) are the standard now, at least for alpha. That is definately altyn in the concept, you can tell from the shape of the visor and the design of the helmet itself, similar to maska but evolved more.

Quote from Thrik
D3 they don't depict US forces accurately so what hope has Russia got?
Just accept it's an alternate reality — which it is — and don't worry about the finer details so much. Don't forget this is a series where the last PC title looked like this:[Blocked Image: http://osx.iusethis.com/screenshot/osx/battlefield2142.png]
Haha, good point.. I really don't know what they were thinking about with that one! Anyhow, I don't expect them to be 100% accurate, it'd just be nice for them to look somewhat like they do in reality. I mean the rangers in MW2 are fictionalised somewhat and not real but they look a lot closer to the real-life soldiers than the Ruskies do.
Quote from PuddyD3ads, don't be full of shit
The Russian Army is not as neat and tidy when it comes to uniforms and equipment as, say, the US army. You've basically found their posterboy squads 
I'm not full of shit, honest! Those are the modern uniforms of alpha unit (urban design), some of those photos are PR I admit but some are training, just because you haven't seen them in action is because there haven't been any issues for them to deal with. They used to wear randomised equipment but they're becoming more "westernised" now. Alpha still operating in anti-terror operations in Dagestan and Ingushetia still wear old overalls.. but there are several units there and you're not meant to be able to tell which is which.
QuoteAlso, those character classes are fucking HAWT. Like the Assault alot. Love the uniform (Gorka E or S). Support is pretty cool too with his telnyashka and Maska (right?) helmet

Don't get me wrong, the models themselves are pretty good, apart from the weird gas mask but the clothing is too random, kamysh mixed with blue fatigues, blue digital camo and les (forest) etc.. and the recon looks like Gaz from MW1 with some extra bits... it's odd, just a reworking of the camos and colours would be fine and some insignias... I think I should do a paintover

Yes, telnyashka is right... made in the USSR
It should only be visible in the collar area though, because they are usually just under garment vests;[Blocked Image: http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Glo…853914_4671.jpg]
The helmet isn't Maska, these are maska;
[Blocked Image: http://www.rusmilitary.com/images/maska_spetsnaz.jpg]
It's called Altyn;

Russians stole the design from the Swiss, well sorta
Quote from VilhamRussia is a 3rd world country.

With rails and EOtech, right?

-
LOL.. that is epic fail on their part, PR guy is probably having a heart attack now

-
Well they're not all in black, they have all kinds of camo but photos are rare.. but my point was that their equipment is a lot more modern than depicted in those concepts ;\
Also.. what spetsnaz are they? Spetsnaz is a slang of spetsgruppa, meaning "special unit" of which is divided into many different units, alpha and vympel of the FSB, OMSN, GRU, OMON... I can go on.
Battlefield 3, I am looking to you to show those silly people at IW how it's done!

Warning: D3ads's rants about generic design of Russian bad guys again

Why do the Russians look like they're from a third-world country?
