I played the hell out of this game 5+ years ago. Met a great friend that taught me a lot about the game and always seemed like he had true wisdom in life. Never knew much about him outside of it but he went M.I.A one time and never came back, His steam had his name and his state; so I decided to google him one day and learned that he was killed by police during a mental breakdown. Pretty shocking to me because he was always a great guy on the games but wow did this video bring back memories.

What I always found interesting is that you can never play as "the other team" (I think OpFor were called Czervanians or something like that), you're always forced to be the U.S army from your own perspective, so everyone's technically using the same guns but when you go and pick up an enemy weapon it's an eastern bloc type weapon, mostly AK's and they had different stats to that of the M4/M16/etc...
