A formal request for "no-man's-land

[Aculaud 0]

I feel the only thing OFP really misses right now is a No-Mans-Land island. A big, shapeless island, war torn into a complete battlefield.

Imagine a more rolling, flat Kolgujev with slightly less forests and foliage, more burned out towns that are a lot bigger, are more spread out and cover a greater amount of land, rubble everywhere, destroyed vehicles, explosions and gunfire instead of wild life for ambiant noises, crumbling walls with holes that you could shoot through...

I just think this would be the crowning glory for the game. Making fortresses out of old buildings, sniping from heaps of rouble, setting up machine gun positions at the sides of roads behind crumbling walls. Securing areas for forward firing posts. I think it would give a true sense of surviving warfare.

What say you, the people?

LOL! sooooo many memories............ *sniff

for no-man's land maybe using wrpedit would work? although new 3d objects need to be made. like broken houses and stuff. things on kolujev will get limited soon, so new 3d object is needed.

i don't feel comfortable ppl using new 3d objects from OFPR...

I'm not talking about third party stuff though, i'm talking about BIS doing this. I really think they should because i think Operation Flashpoint would support that very nicely.

u need a dont care option, for me no mans land is anywhere near a m1a1 there invincable, i put 2 sabots 10rpgs and other bits and peaces into it, the user was killed i got in and it was only yellow.

What i want from ofp in order is:

-join in progress(sick and tired of waits and no players)

-multiply gunners on vechicles

-able to run with awsome gfx on a 486(im dreamn here)

-improved physics like car wells on ruff terrian dont sink into ground and bounce out again, ppl dont walk thru walls sum of the time/

-lastly ai that use cover more and empty vechicles ladders all by them selfs etc.

The "wouldnt mind" option is the "Dont care, indiferant, doesnt matter" option.

And if BIS knows whats good for them and their audience, they will never put in JIP.

I can only see BIS/CM doing this if they were also to produce missions or a campaign set on this island, and that is not likely to happen.

Given the right tools, I'm sure the OFP community will take up the challenge and produce such an island, but don't hold your breath waiting for an official implementation.

They're shooting themselves in the foot.....truely. An island such as that would increase my play at least 5 fold.

this no mans land is kinda pointless what is but an empty space, ww1 had no mans land and in ww1 no one moved anywhere. Give me JIP so i dont have to wait and get the game a bigger audience something like il2 sturmovik, its great online. If they knew whats good for their sales they would add it if they could and i hope they do because my ofp mp playin time is dimishing and alot of the guys i used to play have moved on.

Thats off to a VERY good start. Its got everything i was talking about. Barren landscape, runied cities, even fortifications along the beaches for storming etc. What i'm wanting is the same thing, only bigger, and much more detailed. This one was a very good start though
