    Funny, there are pages all over the net about it. If you want a heads up on the OCWI and the XM-8 the wikipedia had be clicking though reams of data about it and related projects:

    Wikipedia XM8 Rifle Link - be warned, you'll likely loose several hours of your life in here.

    I wonder if it's simply called the M8 in game?

    The X infront of something in the military means Trial.

    But the project has been scrapped, but there are M8s in use just not many.

    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    Got this off of the Wikipedia site,

    "All versions of the XM8 are found in Tom Clancey's: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. Except for the compact carbine version. "

    So, grenade launchers will be in the game then?

    Yes there is a screen of an M-8 with a M320 or whatever.

    Anywho from my understanding the M8 was challenged by other companies that HK was getting special treatment or something so the program was put on hold, according to hatchetforce over at GR.net it most likely will be resumed.

    I personally think if the SCAR is as well liked among the SF(HF said alot of good stuff about it) it may end up making its way to the rangers and airborne or something and eventually to everyone.
