  1. If you're talking about the movies, Battlefield Earth. If it's the BE books vs "Manos: the Hands of Fate", then "Manos: the Hands of Fate" wins.

     

    Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 2142?

  2. Why is it that companies that ship with a 1-3 week shipping time wait until 4 days from the deadline to actually ship the damn product? Seriously, why would it take 2 weeks to ship a laser the size and weight of an expensive pen from China to the USA, and then another 4 days to get it to my door? Or a cellphone to take over 2/3 of it's 2 week shipping time, and still not have a functioning tracking number?

     

    I hate companies that update their tracking info only AFTER they deliver the package. (I have had this several times, and it looks to be happening again with my new cellphone) Seriously, why have tracking numbers in the first place if you don't update them until 3 days after the package is delivered?

  3. Sounds good to me.

     

    If there's a Combine outpost anywhere along the trip, it'd logically have a full large crate somewhere there, despite you desiring a low-ammo run. Just a thought. I seriously doubt the Combine would understock any of their outposts or security stations.

  4. But going onto more what the study is touching upon, preservatives in general are really not that great for you. Whether in meat or other food products. Even the simplest of preservatives, salt, isn't that great for you. Sure we need a certain amount of it in our diet but we get that naturally from regular food anyways. We really don't need to be adding it to everything.

    Sea Salt is a different type of salt... Potassium Chloride instead of Sodium Chloride... Much better for you, and fills a deficiency that most people have today.

  5. 3. Ok, makes some sense... You might want to see about a few locations with effectively 'unlimited' ammo though, just so people have an ability to use it, or save it for later, and not just see a nice gun that's practically useless.

     

    4. How many people are using it, and never getting it refilled? In a well traveled area it would most likely be well stocked so as to actually be useful if a group comes through and needs to fend off a Combine attack. In a less traveled area, they would likely send a refill after it's reported below half/quarter full. (still, around 5k 9mm rounds at 1/4 the crate)

     

    For the small ones that you find lying around, maybe 1/4 full would be a good idea, but that still does 3-4 magazines for most of the weapons you're going to use, and 2-3 mags for the rest. If you're assuming that the ammo has already been put into magazines, then the game default for most of the mid-grade weapons would be about right for a full box. (it'd be 2-3 clips low for a 9mm, and a lot lower for the Pulse Rifle)
