March 5, 200520 yr Isn't incursion like...a strike by a military force or something and yea, Fireteam sounds kind of weird. It's like you're making a totally different mod now
March 5, 200520 yr Author Fireteam sounds weird.. and What the heck does Incursion mean? o_0 FT:I =q http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/72/250px-FORCE_RECON_M4M203_PATROL_GREEN.jpg Well a Fireteam is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireteam ----------------- The smallest recognized military unit. As an army unit it consists of four to five (4-5) soldiers under a non-commissioned fire team leader. Often the fire team is responsible for operating one heavy weapon such as a heavy machine gun or a piece of artillery. Two fire teams form a squad. The United States Army particularly emphasizes the fire team concept, as do most Special Operations units. Many other armed forces see the squad as the smallest military unit; some countries' armies have a "pair" consisting of two soldiers as the smallest military unit. The British Army also uses the fire team. An infantry section of eight men usually contains two fire teams (charlie and delta), each comprising an NCO (corporal or lance corporal) and three privates, one of whom carries an LSW. In the Canadian Army "fire team" refers to two soldiers, with two fire teams forming a group and two groups forming a section of 8 soldiers. A US Ranger fire team consists of 4 soldiers equipped with a personal weapon and special equipment based on position. Team leader, Grenadier, grenade launcher Automatic Rifleman, M249 Rifleman, Communications equipment The creation of effective fire teams is seen as essential for creating an effective military as they serve as a primary group. Psychological studies by the United States Army have indicated that the willingness to fight is more heavily influenced by the desire to defend and avoid a loss of face among other members of the fire team and the squad than by abstract concepts. An Incursion is: --------------- An aggressive entrance into foreign territory; a raid or invasion.
March 5, 200520 yr change it to: uncalled for. (changed to match the previous post) ya,that was useful jimbo:mad:
March 5, 200520 yr personally....no offense...but i think its a stupid name...i like FA:R better because it fits in that HL2 logo. and besides it sounds cooler because its like the REVIVAL of a game....
March 5, 200520 yr Author personally....no offense...but i think its a stupid name...i like FA:R better because it fits in that HL2 logo. and besides it sounds cooler because its like the REVIVAL of a game.... Most of us agree with you. We had to change the name to avoid legal issues.
March 5, 200520 yr hey, the new site looks great and hurry up get that game done. LOL. Just kidding great work so far. I added a link on my web page. Hope that's o.k. Klink
March 6, 200520 yr i dont like the name. but :/ and btw the marines utilize the fireteam wholeheartedly -G
March 9, 200520 yr I think the new name sounds sweet. And if you say FI, it sounds a lot like FA. So hopefully people will get the point. And would the FA team really sue you guys for the FA:R name?
March 10, 200520 yr "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Name doesn't matter as long as the gameplay owns.
March 10, 200520 yr Author I think the new name sounds sweet. And if you say FI, it sounds a lot like FA. So hopefully people will get the point. And would the FA team really sue you guys for the FA:R name? I don't think the FA team would... but Valve is where the concern was. We just wanted to avoid and problems for either mod.
March 11, 200520 yr I don't think the FA team would... but Valve is where the concern was. We just wanted to avoid and problems for either mod. Good call. Can't wait for it. And the screenshots of the maps make me wanna play. I've set up the durandal map with some bots, and I have to say, it's gonna rule. Waiting sucks though.
March 11, 200520 yr I would call it "Fireteam Alpha" that way it will still be known as "FA" or call it anything that would keep the same acronym "FA". Just my thoughts... (Fireteams are divided into "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. A fireteam is the smallest unit of leadership)

March 14, 200520 yr just watch, those guys will probably play FI when its out, as will you Jimmy. I refuse to play that game.
March 14, 200520 yr Author I refuse to play that game. Why? I hope that someday you do give it a try, but I'm not going to twist your arm. I'm involved with the mod so that hopefully, MrJimmy, you will be my friend I'll try any mod that is the type of game that I like... FA, DoD, etc. Tactical war games are what I like. Please try to be more open-minded.
