This is a good change, would stop a lot of confusion mid-game.
I still maintain having some of the insta-fails removed would still be a good idea, and just make the diamonds an optional objective, which makes it less linear and allows the player the choice to follow that thread.
Would this make it easier? Yes, and it’d be much closer to player expectations of later ET’s (such as The Collector, where the painting isn’t required for completion, but does deny 5-star S/A).
Only other change I would make to it would be that the “Eliminate Xander Haverfoek” objective activates once the meeting in the cafe occurs (since you’re free to kill him from then on) - but I don’t think there is an event in the game to trigger it. So either they’d have to make one or just tie it to the courier getting the diamonds first like I did in the Peacock plugin above.
I may have forgotten to actually do it in time good news is I get to actually think of how to do it when the galore comes at the end of the year ig I really don’t like any of the Marrakesh ETs
Oh, I see now, my bad. Glad we cleared up the confusion.
If I’m not mistaken, they both were designed for the military. AR-10 wasn’t needed, because they already had M14 for the same cartridge, so Armalite made a scaled-down version for 5.56x45 - AR-15, which was eventually adopted. The US Military versions were called M16 and M4, because they always have to name M-something everything they use, but the platform is still AR-15. There are both civilian AR-15 style rifles from various manufacturers, and other military ones, like the UAR-15 we produce here in Ukraine for our army. I’m not 100% sure that’s how it works, but that’s how I understand it at least.
That said, I see why y’all in the States don’t want to call civilian versions “assault rifles”. It sounds like they’re weapons for assaults or some shit and leaves a lot of room for manipulation, while they’re really just guns that fire a certain range of ammo.
Whilst there are of course many Armalites, I’ve always considered someone saying “AR” to be an informal abbreviation of “AR-15” - that was certainly the experience I’ve had with others, including a chap who owns an AR-15.
So, the middle picture.
Damn, I was so used to AR being short for Assault Rifle in video games slang that I didn’t even think that’s not how it is in real life. I feel dumb now >_<
It doesn’t help that here in the United States the two are used almost synonomously by certain segments of the population. And AR-15 is a “scary” gun so it’s often put forward as the epitome of so-called Assault Weapons or Assault Rifles. If you look at the actual stats for mass shootings, most are done with handguns and not any sort of rifle (assault or otherwise), but the AR-15 looks the part.
