Maybe we have focused too much on ironsights and proper firing stance?
No wonder CS is more popular than inf....it is closer to realism: ;)

Hehe, you can see these weird shooting stances often when watching the news, be it in Africa or Middle East. I always wonder why they never ever align their sights, even if they've received no training. They must be some kind of pacifists who don't want to hit anything... :p
Damn, now I've got to find the video of this guy shooting a RPG from the hip...

Didn't read the link (no time right now - but i'm sure it's illarious :P), but yes iron sights are over-rated. As we have seen with many other games, it's not the iron sight that makes the realism. You need more then just that.

Great find kee. I've always made fun of how african militias were depicted in american movies, but now i know that reality is even better than fiction :D .

Maybe it's a holdover from their spear throwing days or something.

Sorry for my impudent asking. I'll be more careful with such a touchy subject next time.;)

What, is being a goon some kind of stigma here?

It depends on who you ask here on BU. Not that I give a tin **** either way.

So what they aim 'funny' ?
How many of those 'real' soldiers using 'proper' procedures actually hit the enemy in a real battle ?
I doubt the effectiveness is that much better ...

Real soldiers don't wear orange life jackets and capes into battle, you sad, humorless man.
Midwinter
10th Dec 2005, 09:04 PM
But I think the orange life jacket must be some way to identify themselves. Like some of them wear red caps or other red clothes. Maybe he didn't have anything else of a reddish color near ;)

Or it could be full of sand, who knows.
That cape sure is awesome though, I bet it looks bitchin' in action when he lets an RPG fly.

That's what's need in the next INF, a full customizable wardrobe, like in WoW or CoH. Just imagine the shock effect of a group of wildly firing CS noobs dressed in capes and red tights.

Most of the people fighting in these places are coked out of their domes on drugs anyways. It's really no suprise there's little rhythm or technique to their tactics. That's what happens when you force-feed technology to developing nations.

Considering that Liberia is kinda one of those places where the unarmed are killed quicker than those who are armed, I'd rather have a gun and hope for the best than be throwing rocks at someone who's hosing down my area with a belt fed job.
And I seriously doubt you'd turn down a free AK47. ;)

Well....actually that was sort of my point...

On the other hand it can't be the guns allone. In the beginning of the Somalia genocide most people where killed with machetes (which aren't exactly high tech) or died in flames.
Cruel intention are sufficient to start sh!t like that...
