but see, often times the Civis stand right next to an actual insurgent or triggerman. With the current deviation on vehicles and weapons, it's kind of hard to not hit a collaborator. Also, when a collaborater is working together with other insurgents, wouldn't they be deemed as insurgents? To be honest, I think the Civi/Collaborator is flawed and should be taken out of the game.

Awesome! This will really make me want to play INS more. Always felt a lack of weps on their team.

Well, that's right, and it's the same in the real world. A collaborator is someone who works with you to help your cause. The idea is to give the insurgents an advantage. As an insurgent, if you see camo, you shoot. Reflex action. As the searching team, you have to look twice before you shoot. Not only does it help the insurgents get the drop in a firefight to make up for the lack of nice equipment, it represents the problem that is faced by the troops out there in the real world who can't always tell who is friend and who is foe. I understand your opinion, but I respectfully disagree.

Regards,

Nice to see that sandbags are going to be useful positions for infantry now with the firing slots in them.

Delta*RandyShugart* · 12-07-2008, 06:31 PM

I like that addution to insurgency mode. Because in real life civis are thrown into crowds and are atop of buildings

**Waldo_II** · 12-07-2008, 09:48 PM

Updated sandbags and MG nests. Notice the wood frame around the prone-holes on the sandbags.

Together will all the other stuff that will change, I might actually enjoy playing as an insurgent in the next version

.

ditto, I quite like them now since I managed to get a positive kdr many games

At least the mg nets won't be so exposed to sniper fire anymore. I'm always scared to get into the .8 .50 deployables.

Looks like everyone's favorite insurgent shoot is getting a makeover:

This in tandem with the insurgency faction being under equipped with weapons allowed for uneven game play with inexperienced gamers or uncoordinated team play.

The recent Operation Archer candidate is well on its way to being finished (well, maps are never really finished). Through extensive collaborations with other Reality developers (especially Fuzzhead, Katarn, and Dr. Rank) and the very hard work of many of the others on the mod team I have been able to develop a much stronger version of the map.

Some of the key items of improvement include: less destructible statics, improved aesthetics including vegetation and water, and more villages.

The map overview:

Size: 4km2
Factions: US (Canadian placeholder) vs. Taliban
Equipment: a pleasant surprise
Modes: Insurgency (64, 16), AAS (32), and Skirmish (16)

Here are a few snapshots I have collected and as we move forward with this map I will be glad to share more of them

Taliban Truck with 50cal. overlooking main village.

Road into main village...

Poppy farm and irrigation dam

New guy on the block

Always some horsing around

STAY TUNED !

Is that AAS game mode I see as a game mode for archer? THis will be moooost interesting.

**browna3** · 12-09-2008, 02:14 PM

yes fianly op arcehr will be alright t play on!
currently i find it very boring

+ taliban forces with requestable kits

WaterIsPoison · 12-09-2008, 02:51 PM

I always thought that Op Archer had a lot of hidden potential. Hopefully the updates will make Archer on par with Korengal.

**MarineSeaknight** · 12-09-2008, 07:26 PM

I like pleasant surprises.
