BlackHawk Down...

[Indecisi0n]

Re: BlackHawk Down...

Read the book.
If you liked the movie, the book is a must read. Much more information on what really happened and it even gives a rather balanced accounting that includes the skinny on the Skinny's views (sorry, couldn't help the pun).

I just resently had an interesting chat with a guy from Simolia too. He had some very interesting things to say on the whole business. Most of them aren't appropriate for these boards, tho. :p

I am halfway through the book right now and you are right, much more accruate information.

One thing i found very interresting is how the service "makes" these rangers want to go to war.

Ya they were annoying, but I loved it like that. Back in 1.00 if you heard the slightest sound of a BH you would RUN!

i remember that the BH was the ultimate battlefield map

the noise of helicopter blades still gives me flashbacks of being totally owned by the BH minigun you heard that weapon fire up no one or nothing was safe not even tanks :laugh:

Re: BlackHawk Down...

Not a bad movie as long as people don't go around believing that it was a 100% factual account (as some people in my office have been known to do).

Re: BlackHawk Down...

I wish the BH in bF2 would actually spin when hit in the rear rotor and crash when it's heavily damaged not just blow up in the air

Uh have nightmares of the BH minigun patch 1.00 sometimes :laugh:

I liked it like that - at the time I didn't, but had I known that they would turn the BH guns into what they are now, I would've been one of those people begging for no change. Right now the BH guns are totally nerfed and you can't do anything with them even at medium range :cry:.

Blackhawk Down, great movie, a classic in my movie collection.

Re: BlackHawk Down...

Great movie and the black hawk mini gun in battlefield 2 should be powerful just like in that movie.

They were back when BF2 was in it's prime (1.00 Patch).

Too bad its SAS and not seals.

Re: BlackHawk Down...

I don´t know but BF2 reminds me much more of the book "jarhead" then BHD.

Re: BlackHawk Down...

Re: BlackHawk Down...

Great movie. Did you know that in one of the levels (Songhua Stalemate I think) there actually is a crashed Black Hawk?

Re: BlackHawk Down...

Why can't I have my precious blackhawk gun back?? :wall:
