    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Back in '09 Haba made a Let's Play 7.62 HC thread on this board using the BFX mod, but unfortunately it can't be enjoyed anymore. The BFX mod turned into the Blue Sun Mod shortly after, and has gotten much bigger. At present day there are about 300 new weapons and countless items, not to mention a completely new quest line where you work for yourself. So here's another go at it, using the latest version of The Blue Sun Mod.

    We'll be using these LP settings:
    - BlueSunMod.ini settings are default
    - Minimum amount of loading, maximum amount of saving.
    - We will only use what we find, spending money on weapons is no fun.
    - Team size is set to 6, so if anyone feels like having a merc in this LP, sign up.
    - A picture for the merc is needed, class, a short bio and a list of pros and cons.
    - Classes: Trooper, Sniper, Skirmisher, Sapper, Scout or Medic.

    There is still one spot left on the team, and since we are playing hardcore other slots will surely open up later on. So if you feel like participating, post your info and I'll add them.

    The story so far:
    Session 1: Prologue
    Session 2 : Getting the ball rolling
    Session 3: All your base are now belong to us!
    Session 4: Let's open an account in case we rob the bank later
    Session 5: If I had a Tommy Gun the world would be a different place
    Session 6: Lucky doesn't even start to describe it
    Session 7: Tactics 101: Move hard and fast
    Session 8: On open and dangerous roads
    Session 9: Revenge is best served cold
    Session 10: Ambushing Ambushers
    Session 11: Slavery is bad and you'll pay dearly for it
    Session 12: Give us a challenge and we will rise to the occasion
    Session 13: When plans fail...
    Session 14: Skyrider's ransom; 50 pounds of lead
    Session 15: Your mine? It's my mine now
    Session 16: Immortal Badasses are good...
    Session 17: The Prototype
    Session 18: Saving Armenso
    Session 19: HK's wet dream
    Session 20: No way Jose, the Doublecross
    Session 21: Sniper girl gets some credit
    Session 22: Let's do it Mick's way
    Session 23: Geroj doesn't get hit
    Session 24: Take a walk on the wild side
    Session 25: The lone gunman theory
    Session 26: Plane Tickets, Bitch!
    Session 27: Falling like dominoes
    Session 28: Rico Reyes must die


    Meet the team:

    The Brock

    Bio:
    Brock Sampsonson aka The Brock, a Swedish ex-military homicidal maniac. He started his career in the Swedish top military unit called Kustjägarna where he quickly showed his prowess as a cold blooded killer. Due to his quirkiness, he got kicked out of the Swedish military for refusing to wear a helmet. He joined the U.S.M.C instead and after a few tours in hot-spots around the world he left the service to become a private contractor, mostly working for the Russians.

    Pros: Berserker. Camouflage.

    Cons: Scared of depths. Wont wear a helmet.

    Kestrel (Hospitalized)

    Bio:
    Tero Chadwick was never one for law and order. As a child, he regularly hang around with "the wrong people". He got into shady business with gangs, doing jobs for them. A good runner, he regularly managed to escape the authorities by outmaneuvering them through the alleys and streets of York. As he grew up, so did the scale of his activities. Robberies made way for heists or outright assassination. When the authorities managed to crack down on his employers he started to feel the heat. He signed up as a contractor, moving from one civil war to the next. For his speed and agility, and tendency to strike from an unexpected angle, he received the nickname "Kestrel".

    Preferred weaponry: SIG-552 or AK-102, but any short barreled assault rifle will do in a pinch

    Pros: Highly mobile flanker

    Cons: Can't stay still for long, thus refuses to use external armor, backpacks or heavy weapons.

    HK

    Bio:
    Secretly a coward, Harold "HK" Kaufmann works hard to act brave in the face of danger, but his preference for long rifles and sniper scopes speaks to his desire to stay far from potential incoming fire. A childhood accident with a carving knife hamstrung him and almost left HK unable to walk, which inspired him to heal and instilled a deep fear of pain, most especially from knives. Halfway through medical school, HK was kidnapped, tortured, and brainwashed by a neo-fascist terrorist group. Stockholm's Syndrome set in, and he eventually trained willingly with the terrorists. While HK was enslaved by the terrorists, both his parents passed away, largely from grief. After an American counter-terrorist group raided the compound and captured the cell, HK was halfway to being convicted of terrorism when it was revealed that he had been kidnapped and needed psychological help rather than a lifetime jail term. HK has since broken free of Stockholm's, but the whole three-year ordeal deepened his cowardice. As soon as the psychiatrists declared him healthy, he was put out of the hospital without a home to go back to. Alone, penniless, and with little left to lose, HK signed up for the first job his peculiar arrangement of medical knowledge, combat skills, and noncitizen status would allow: Medic for a bunch of mercenaries in some shithole country named "Algeira."

    Preferred weaponry: Any HK manufactured gun

    Pros: Medical skill, minor sniping/shooting skills

    Cons: Terrified of knives (refuses to admit that a scalpel is a knife), cowardly.

    Jack "Slowmo" Haddasch

    Bio:
    Lazyness dominated Slowmos life like no other characterstic. When things were out of his reach he ignored them totally just because it would be too much stress for him to move. At the age of 9 he almost starved to death when his parent left him home alone for a six day holiday. But Slowmo turned his drawback into a personal advantage. He learned to use a grappler and phones and two way radios. When he entered the national service of Canada they almost threw him out because he refused to move any more than it was absolutly necessary. But then they noticed how talented Slowmo was when he changed his grappler with a long ranged sniper rifle. His natural aversion against moving gave him also the necessary patience to wait for his victim until it enters the crosshair of his sniper rifle. After three years in the Canadian Special Forces he quit because his wish for a personal helicopter and pilot who should fly him to his sniper positions was rejected.

    Preferred weaponry: Any loooooong range sniper rifle, a grappler

    Pros: Very accurate sniper skills

    Cons: Low stamina ("Man, we walked all the way from the car to here!!"), Low Intelligence

    Puerto Viejo! While the Army Base isn't too much of a challenge, although a definitely fun firefight, it triggers the ambush among other things which I don't think is a good idea to do right now. I just deduced that with my powers of metagaming.

    Wow, R@S, you're quick!

    Good update! I am impressed with Geroj's gunslinging. I am usually not this lucky with pistols.

    A question, though: in the safe, along with the documents, is a flight manual (apparently in Arabic). What is this used for?

    Yup, since I only have time to play on weekends I tend to really immerse myself when I do. I have already played the next session and am about to start writing it down. Maybe I'll get it done before I hit the sack tonight, we'll see.

    And yeah, Geroj's high experience and gunslinger stats really pays off, even if his adrenalin is quite high he still connects with that Glock. I see a romance between them in the future :lol:

    The flight manual can be sold to Hosa/Calderon after you have completed some vanilla quests. I haven't done that quest in years so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, sorry.

    I'm aware of that, but it's an item that sits in your very-important-items-bar. But now I know you can sell it later in the game.

    The next update is done, was about to upload the images when suddenly Imgur starts acting up. So I'll hold off on it until tomorrow morning, and maybe there has been enough posts so we can start fresh on a second page. I think this page is already pretty heavy as is.
