rellikki 7 Posted February 8, 2011 More alive than Armed Assault is, at least when it comes to forum activity. How would you define "dying" anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted February 8, 2011 How would you define "dying" anyway? To me, it means game/fansites that are listed in Google, but no longer exist, forums that are full of dead links and no updates about addons/mods. Thanks to OFPR.info, OFP will live to see the 10th anniversary of it's release on June 22nd 2011, an extremely rare feat, most game/fansites, mods, and communities are dead before the 2nd year of the game's life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I don't think it can "die",as such.It may have less activity in it's online interest.Whether that be Multiplay or modding.But I think it's unique enough to still hold interest for a good number of people.Not to mention that it's easier on your hardware than newer titles.(Although it might not use newer hardware very well.) Neither do I think it needs to have legions of followers to be considered a valid form of entertainment.A good game is simply a good game.Speaking personally,I don't judge a games worth on the amount of people yapping about it.I'd consider it a going concern as long as there's some people discussing and especially contributing to it.And there's still a few people doing exactly that. I've noticed a few more new members recently too. Inevitably interest will wane.But it's still attracting some attention,even this far down the line.So it should probably be around a little while longer. I think a more apt description,at this point,would be that it's not as trendy as it used to be. :) Edited February 8, 2011 by Macser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mack. 59 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I have just started playing OFP on my glorified netbook.

raum_schiff 0 Posted February 8, 2011 A good game will never die, ie: UFO, Dungeon Master, Aces Of the Deep, Doom, Panzer general, etc... ( most of them were ported to Lunix so I still play them once in a while with the same pleasure ) I just dream one day OFP wil go open source ( Yes I know ... this is just a dream ) @psychobambi: +1 for GOG, my original CD's are getting tired ...

Voyageur 10 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) We find less and less activity about addons and multiplayer. Personaly I often play in Ofp I think it has a big capacity in the source engine (simplicity) compared to Arma and ArmAII but it is a old game today and his limits are achieved .This is the reason (i think) for which many leaves Ofp. There are no more creation today even this game is interesting for some people. I prefer Ofp more than his successor (I played the Arma II demo) but it's my opinion. I can't modding today (Windows seven) but i tryed to modding in my old config and it's difficult, congratulation for all scripters, addons makers and texturers for their works, I encourage the modders to continue :) Ps: signal if you see a typing error xD ...

stgn 39 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Why can't you mod in windows7? Not sure I agree its limits are achieved, although many barriers have been reached, that is true. STGN Edited February 10, 2011 by STGN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sennacherib 0 Posted February 10, 2011 his limits are achieved if you mean eye-candy stuff; for me this is not essential. Take a look at COD games, sure they are nice, but really boring. Arma2 is nice, but it has lost its fun (too serious in my opinion). ofp is old, but it has always the same fun.

Sepe 1 Posted February 14, 2011 his limits are achieved . Bah! Did people believe in 2001 that we could ever get things like swimming or melee combat? Well, we did, thanks to the creative modders and scripters of the community. What makes OFP is so great IMO is it's hidden capability. It didn't have top-notch graphics when it was released, and now they are considered ancient. Instead, BIS created a scripting engine with huge potential, which inspired creativity never seen before. But sure, the active days of OFP are over. But lemme tell ya, it will join the hallowed halls of greatest games of all times - possibly not the mainstream section, but the one with Dwarf Fortress, Nethack and the like. OFP is currently one of the few games installed on my computer. They don't make stuff like that anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
