CM Operation Flashpoint 3 announced | "Oops, they're doing it again..."

Among other things, i'm still very upset with the overall color scheme. One good thing though, is the dead body falling realistically down the stairs. I'm fed up with ArmA2 dead bodies poor interaction with their environment (playing the dead anim then stay like this).

On the other hand RR's bodies cease all interaction after death and quickly disappear afterwards. Shots don't seem to register even for a blood effect after the killing hit.

Shooting dead bodies is unfair :D

I have nothing against opening up to a larger audience , but at least do it with inovative stuff ...

I fear the day ArmA 2/3/X goes "multi platform "

Check out SLX_Ragdoll.

btw its a nonsense pointing out what's bad in RR, because it would be easier to say what's not bad... and there's not many "not broken" things out there, I guess. Especially You forgot about few things, like console FOV which can't be adjusted (fucks up my eyes, really), etc.. Now to what Ben said - it's not a bad approach. But hey, they want it this way + being super lazy, because people will buy it anyway. They don't do it to give You "fun" (at least now for the one we know), like Sion states, they do it so they can make money.

If there would be an actual SDK, rich console (in HL2 You can set half of the game through the console commands - You can make Gravity Gun throw striders'n'shit, or make a game look like it's straight out of 1994) or better options-file-design (xml files like Dirt - it had a blast editing it) it could be easy to adjust the game. But again - why would they bother? They don't want You to have options, that would confuse many players, especially it's extra work... so they are "so nice to set it up for us the way that game is super cool anyway". You know... "Hardcores will go for ArmA anyway, and the rest doesnt care".

I don't want ragdoll, i want better physical interactions between dead bodies and environments. And no, insulting isn't fun, and it isn't in this community habbits.

Go find some sense of humour and that word that means "acting distatnly", according to the dictionary. Maybe then You would see I'm not really serious.

and it isn't in this community habbits

Yeah, right ;)

It's not actual ragdoll, it's units falling down the stairs\towers when You shot'em.

I edited last post with few words on how I feel about devs dumbing down games these days.

Ill take either. I also liked the corpse sliding down the stairs and thought the animation system as a whole pretty nice. I wish Arma would add a Hit animation - I was just having a great shootout that lasted 10 minutes between me and an AI Insurgent who was using cover very well. I finally snuck my way up to him and saw him crawling prone -I opened fire and red clouds came out but there was absolutely zero hit reaction from his body. Thats pretty disappointing after a long compelling shootout as it felt like I was shooting a stone statue as opposed to a soldier :(

The live-action advert has been pulled from YouTube. :rolleyes:

Too bad, I didn't had a chance to show it to my friends. And it's not anywhere else in the net :<

Too much "realistic" criticism? :D

I think it was probably revealed before it was supposed to have been.

which one?

The newest one, i.e. the one where you share stern looks with your fellow man and they decide to go to war along side you.

I was all ಠ_ಠ as well when I saw it.

animation system on that last dev diary looks very very good, unfortunatelly, tracerts and bloom looks ugly...

RR's NA release has been pushed back to June 7th: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/116/1160068p1.html

Members of the community over there are raging and leaving/claiming they won't buy the game now. I thought it was a good thing when games got delayed, as it allowed them to resolve whatever caused said delay.

I think I first saw it about two weeks ago. Makes sense, not even 5% of the total sales is going to be from PC copies.

This already started with F1 2010 and I think it's the same with Dirt 3 and future titles.

This looks more like some distribution problem, so I don't expect any fixes in US version...

Looks like someone does a lot of network troubleshooting ^_^

[ben_s 11]

As far as I know, boxed copies are still avalible everywhere, except for the US.

He do make some fair point TBH, and while he may not fully understand the full history of CM, BI and OFP, he acturally nail the problem now adays: COD clone are all over the place.

While partially OT I'd like to ask what is that makes a game a COD clone, this term didn't start circulating until MW1 and 2 came out so what is the deal.

The term came up after MW1-MW2 mad boatloads of money so a bunch of other companies made (and continue to.) lot's of generic brown-Gray shooters. that pretty much copied COD's gameplay.

Most likely budget issues. There was a rumor a few months ago that CM is bankrupt, so scrapping disk production is a good way to save cash without decreasing revenue.

[4 IN 1 0]

Basicly what happen is that after MW1 all the games starts to copy the gameplay and style IW created, even the MOH which the old COD used to copy have turn to copy the success of the MW1.

Hm, can anyone see my post in this thread while being either offline or online at CMs forums? Because when I logout I cannot see my own posts.
