FUCKING YES!thepopeofatheism said:"Over and out" always bugs me. You can't be both over and out.
As long as mission control is up to speed on what's going on, they can say whatever the hell they want. It's not professional, but there are tank commanders in Afghanistan who blast ghetto rap while taking out Al Qaeda outposts. As long as the mission gets done, you can have a little fun (or something to that extent).Spiner909 said:And the stupid one: When storming the Gulag from the air, you can hear the jets pilots say "FOX 3!" Which is an actual term. Then the helicopters come in and bellow "GUNS GUNS GUNS!" and shoot everything in sight. Do they really say that?
No, that's Modern Warfare 2. The realism of the jargon was offset by my squad's ability to tank anything and everything without so much as flinching (Sgt. Foley literally ran up to an enemy sentry gun and just stood there absorbing bullets while I tried to laze it).The Cheezy One said:thats operation flashpoint right?
I loved that in Flashpoint for some reason.mrbones228 said:"we're Oscar Mike"
Is one of my favorite lines in modern warfare... don't ask why.
As a former Communications soldier, I can tell you that "Over and Out" was occasionally used by the older officers. It is one of those things that was used once upon a time but has since fallen into disuse.thepopeofatheism said:"Over and out" always bugs me. You can't be both over and out.

most of the time its cool, but sometimes you can tell they are just shoving it in for the crack
in MW, i got the idea that they were actually using it, because of the mix of military and normal speaking. rather than loads of games that make almost all one or all another

And in Operation Flashpoint 2 as well =Dmrbones228 said:"we're Oscar Mike"

same here it is handy coz its a quick wasy way of telling every one eslse wht going on especialy in OFP:CWC + ArmA2.Furburt said:Well, thankfully I understand it all, from playing ArmA II and Opflash 1 for ages. I took a sort of course in it and other military things a while back.
It can be very handy on Left 4 Dead, if the other people understand it too. You can then condense your panicked cries into a specific message they can understand quickly.
So no, it doesn't annoy me. I use it myself sometimes.
