Your top 5 non-BIS games of all time

[VanhA-ICON 11]

And I am glad to see some other Joint Ops fans here. Too bad that game died an early death, it had serious potential.

Not so much dead but gone underground.

We still have a 24/7 IC mod server up.

Not right now, but you can use it on Skirmish against bots and there is official dedicated server support for it.

I remember having an alpha build where you had T-90s in one of the campaign missions so perhaps that might be planned for a later time. I've been out of touch with the rest of the Dev team, spending most of my time playing ARMA.

My brother has the Mafia 2 demo, I must admit I never played Mafia 1, however Mafia 2 doesn't look all that bad. Except that they completely overdid bloom effects and now 12PM looks like shit.

It's basicly the same story as with OFP and arma. Daniel Vavrá, the guy who wrote the orginal story to mafia 1, and did a lot off hard work to it, left the whole mafia 2 project about 50% into the game.

New developers.. always fuck up sequels. Mafia 2 was just like DR: a stripped down game. But instead, a lot of shitty DLC were sold.

If you haven't played Mafia you should. Just buy it for PC and not for Ps2 or xbox. It's one of the best games I've ever played in my life, and story-wise, It's a damn masterpiece. The ending even gave me goosebumps and almost tears in my etes. You just HAVE to play it.. without any sneakpeeks.

Just look at It's opening:

Yeah, I was in the IC mod tournament, those were fun times but I never had the time to come to practice and later computer problems kept me from participating in Battle Day. I have an IC11 badge though, I was in the Bundeswehr team, first as a member of Luftwaffe and then in the airborne infantry.

Also for some reason I got banned from the German -SG1- public server. I don't cheat and I submitted an inquiry on their forums but all I got was "Thanks for giving us your new clan tag, we've banned that character as well".

All the servers are Coop these days and I don't really like that.

I'll see about buying Mafia 1, the problem is that playing it will steal time from ARMA :inlove:

JO is awesome, I just can't stand that sidestep lean shoot thing everyone does. It's worse than bunny hopping. Really a great game though.

Mafia 2 was a disappointment in some ways, but I don't think the contrast was as bad ARMA2 vs. DR.

The graphics were actually excellent, the story was decent, the city was amazing (especially in the snow), and the gameplay was good. The problem was length and a lack of content.

DR just plain sucked at everything.

Yes I know number one has more than one answer but really I look at all of them as one big game that have different chapters kinda like his books?!? Wrong am I?

5 is not really a PC game even though it did come out on it. The nintendo version was much faster and better.

Anyone ever play a little known game called Muzzle Velocity? Came out just before OFP and sort of had open world play like OFP but was confined to WW2.
