I'm too good for opf to be fun

[Ruud van Nistelrooy 0]

II first got opf way back on its release date, i got resistance on its release date etc... well, i've played it a lot and a lot and i would consider myself pretty good at it now. Thing is, i'm waaay too good to experiance the realism and various good points that take opf out of the generic shooter genre.

I find myself rushing enemy positions, standing up and just shooting them all, then legging it, maybe with an injury but hey, i just killed 8 soldiers. I do still prone, but most of the time i'm running about shooting at stuff regardless of how many ruskies are hangin about and killing shedloads of them. This is not how opf is supposed to be played. I remember being a n00b and loving every minute of opf, even though i was only killing one guy each mission and i spent the entire mission crawling. My new playing style of rushing and killing in a very unrealistic way has turned this into generic shooter 3. In resistance i kill about 20 guys each mission, sometimes more of less depending on the mission.

I still love operation flashpoint, but because of my skill the basic elements of the game i loved so much are gone, theres no tension, no fear, no feeling of insignificance, no feeling of difficulty, just rushing and mindless slaughter- elements that made games like moh, rtcw and sof2 pretty naff.

Anyone else experiancing this?

turn veteran mode "on"

And we will see if u consider the game not too difficult

Try playing multiplayer against "Real" peeps, that should help you rediscover how to crawl about and not run in like a headless chicken..........

it seems to me that the game i play is ofp.... can one of you point to me what the game opf is .. i mean i've heard it a lot but......

Yeah I can see what he means. I spent most of my time in single player in crouch firing on single shot eliminating entire armies. But recently the resistance MP overhaul has made it acctualy viable for 56kers online and Ive found playing against real players to be a fantastic experiance

[jawk2 1]

depends for 56k.. i wont recommend u air fighting...

Last night i did a chopper fight against a guy for fun... and we changed rapidly of mission because i was always on his 6 o'clock saying him "now your dead meat" (thought not firing becse i didnt want to bother him).

The problem is the latency, i got better latency so all his move were slow very slow and i was able to predict all his move and react.

But for low bandwith combat 56ker are equals to the broadband user *and i really like seeing OPF online Community growing*

You can try to play with me, and we'll see if this game is still too easy.

Anyway. turn Super AI on and you'll see some serious action.

Yea I second that, Super AI has some tricks up it's sleve.

Last night I had to use SWAT tactics with my buddy to clear out a medium city in Nogova without geting shot in the butt.

These guys are not as predictable as I would expect.

But once SWAT tactics were implemented... they were toast.

when i had 56k i found it playable and this was 1.0 1.1 1.2 days was a local server still going today and i had pings round 130-140 now with a slower adsl verson i have pings 90-120 and its like single player with the new net code. This new ingame browser will allow people to join games faster so if u wait 5mins before starting u should get more than one extra person join.

I don't know. I never experienced the difficulty some people here have mentioned. At least, I never had problems making dozens of kills in a mission. I just got killed a lot, and made a lot of friendly kills at first. Even now, I get killed a lot in single player. My problem is that I rush. It is the same way in multiplayer. Oh, and my bright blue custom face doesn't help any.
