Several important issues 4 bohemia

[LaMOi 0]

1. I now hav VER1.46- the soldiers hearing seems to be non-existent. I shoot at them, missing them- and they do nothing its. Only when I shoot their buddy or shoot them they do something....

2. You need to be able to swim in this game! Like delta force2. + there needs to be a jungle MAP! With ditches and streams. + more uneven terrain like DF2. The thing with OFP is that the landscape is pretty much all slopes and hills, which is very good but you need that other stuff aswell.

3) NOW I have heard that OPF is coming to XBOX with improved graphics+ all the upgrades +the NU Resistence Upgrade. Let me say that OPF ranks in my top 10 all time fav games, and so at hearing this I was very pleased! Although I hav yet got no Xbox --I will get 1 now! Let it be keyboard +mouse compatible as controlling this game with a joypad could be shit... O and please include the mission editor aswell. BOHEMIA its all up to you now...

1: turn on super AI, they should react well

2: exactly this is OFP not DF2, soldiers don't sit in the water with a rebreather and wait for the enemy to swim by, not to mention there is no place to swim to and they'd have to redesign the whole engine

3: why would you want to get an x-box so you could play a port?

that's funny, ppl asking a question and answering it in the same sentence.

well i just mind me when ppl will will ask for beer cans in OPF, to be more realistic.

BIS note that french soldier got in outside mission with wine as drink sometime *i passed my military duty near Bordeaux and one of my teammate his father was wine maker*, héhé imagine paratrooper that drink Bordeaux wine... i expect the US soldier would cry with their beer at 2 pence

The XBOX is essentially a low-end PC with a NVIDIA graphics card and a game pad as a controller, which you don't like -- you want to play with a keyboard and mouse.

Why don't you just use a regular PC then? OFP has to really be dumbed down for the XBOX...

...exactly, so it's more like DF2 (sorry, I had to do it)

1. SWimming in opf would b a good thing. + ditches, streams and generally a more realistic terrain would be a good ting (NOT that I'm saying opf terrain is unimpressive. But theses r jus things that would b good to see in future versions of the game. OPF2? well I dont kno, but i'd like 2 see it sooner rather than later... ).

2. I dont own the PC I play OPF on. So time is runnin out for me and this beautiful game.

Sooo gettin an Xbox (Å199) with a perfectly acceptable version of this game, mayb even with better graphics is a far far better option than buyin a PC.

+ Let me say Ive been using this PC 4 a Year and 1 thing Ive noticed about PC Gaming is the amount of bullshit you hav 2 go thru. I hav 2 reconfigure pc with every game I got. Not 2 mention the crashing + also my latest problem is OPF wont save my progress in either of the 2 campaigns.... I hav no Idea why. the thing I hate about PCs is u wake up 1 day and they dont work. Maybe this just happens on my PC i dont kno.

But gettin Flashpoint on XBOX- I would have a Great game - the bullshit of runnin it on a PC...

Depends on how you look at it, the exact reason you don't like PC gaming is the reason I like it. My computer probably spends half the time in a state of half-put together. I love tinkering with it (probably because I don't have a car right now, so I have to tinker with something). I would get bored with a console so quick for that reason, nothing to play with on the hardware level.

Ditches and streams and such would really add to the environment, no question, but actual swimming I don't think so. It would be a real effort to keep your head above the water in full combat dress carring guns and ammo. Maybe from a sec-ops approach like a navy SEAL insertion, but that would be very spesific and not that common in the game.

in real life if u try to swim with 200 pounds of equipment on u would die this is how most of the soldirs in Normady died.

Pilots should swim though they have life jackets, I hate it when i eject over water and I die! This shouldnt happen I want a life jacket and an inflatabel rubber boat, oh and a padel

I agree with DAYglow- in that, yeah, I like 2 tinker with me PC. Like when I first got OPF I thought I be lumbered permently with a slow framerate-- but after ajusting the swat levels and putting sound acceleration to none + disabling my anti-virus it ran much smoother... But then I got more ram (making my PC into an AMD athlon900Mhz now with 382MB of ram) I thought the days of choppy framerates were a thing of the past. Not so. Not with flashpoint. although the campaign levels ran smoothly, I still couldn't slap down loads of units in mission editor without effecting the framerate. Its weird that since flashpoint I hav bought newer games(MOHAA, IL2STURMOVIK, AVP2, STARWARSJO) that run super smooth! and yet OPF now an older game in my collection still demands the most.

BUT Consoles yes shallower are reliable-- slap the game in and away you go... the worst thing that can go wrong is that it crashes, and in the event of... just press RESET.

+ The games are getting much better. Games to come: TENCHU3, Project ego, Perfect Dark Zero, Superman, Hitman2...

.... and there are some games that dont work on PC like GTA3.

Jopad selection 4 the pc is shite!

I also like tinkering, though I never really have problems with my pute and never need to reconfigure. I built my pute myself, and don't really have much experience with this. Must've got lucky. Only time I've ever needed to fuck with pc's b4 is when I had 98, had to a fair bit, and when I use to lan. Always had to fuck with my 98 machine to get it to work in a lan. Didn't seem to like being moved.

And, mate, a pc that u can upgrade when ever you have the cash with almost anything you can think of, and can do much more with than email, chat and play games on is a much better investment than an equivelant of a 2yr old pc, non-upgradable games box.

Why do PC owners always get so defensive when someone mentions a console?

I've never had a console, but I have had a fair few computers (spectrum 128k >> spectrum 256k >> amiga >> 486dx2 66mhz >> amd k6-2 350mhz >> amd athlon 1ghz). I still don't have any problem when someone says they like em or want to buy one.

I think they're a bit more social (you can sit round the living room and play a few games together), but I personally don't like the type of games and hate first person games on a joypad.

Live and let live, like the guy said 199 for an x-box (which does have some impressive capabilities) so he can play ofp is a good thing. PCs are expensive and not everyone likes to trouble shoot.

One last thing: You cannot compare teh X-Box to a 2 year old pc for many reasons. The main one being it's a dedicated games machine and as such is 'tuned' for games. It doesn't waste clock cycles and memory on a big os. You'll be able to do things on an x-box that a top of the range pc can do (if not more). For incstance the ps2 has something like a 250mhz cpu (can't remember exactly) but theres no way you could run a good ps2 game on a 250mhz pc.

Comparing specs on the same architecture is ok but doesn't really apply cross platform.
