GoOB 0 Posted January 31, 2004 By the way, is there any possibility of us getting to see a similar "cartoon" but with a pilot getting rescued by a chopper? I heard something about life rafts being implemented into the mod Who told you that  news to me... I might have imagined it... I have been looking all over but I think I remember the whole thing started with someone saying "It would nice if the pilots would have lifejackets so you could pick them up with a Seahawk" (wich was said on a totally unrelated thread) Then someone, said that it was being implemented in a mod. Might have been this one might have been some other one.. Sorry for the confusion I have caused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tankieboy 0 Posted January 31, 2004 So are those islands based on real ones? I think they maybe based on the Falklands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevbaz 0 Posted January 31, 2004 So are those islands based on real ones? I think they maybe based on the Falklands  The clues in the title ;) hehe But yes the maps are detailed reconstructions of the Falklands islands, more specificly San carlos Bay, The main mountain range (two sisters ect), Goose Green & Darwin, Port Stanley and a few miles east of the islands South Georgia, there will be approximately 6 maps intotal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted February 1, 2004 nice comic. Also nice to hear you put effort in creating the falklands to OFP flashpoint. It's an interesting terrain. Love to see it. But I understand the island won't be a single map? Is it impossible due to the size of the falklands (i don't know how large the area is) or are you afraid that it will lag?

I think that the Falklands team is doing the only sound thing here, separate islands. This allows for each island to be bigger, and more detailed. Also it should give the naval units some bigger space. Even though they can't move. And it should also offer some needed response time for the CAS missions when the aircraft actually has to move quite a distance to get to you and your squad.

Blink Dog 0 Posted February 5, 2004 Sweet comic. If I can request one thing it is this: When doing the dialogue for the campaign or missions please please have lots of swearing, during my limited time in the military I remember more swearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevbaz 0 Posted February 5, 2004 there will hopefully (time pending) be annother teaser trailer, if its progressed enough by then who knows it could be in there . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Ash- 0 Posted February 5, 2004 Yeah Garritos and myself should be making another trailer or two once we have progressed a lot more.. The amount of feedback we got from the last one was astounding to say the least, and was very pleasing to hear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted February 5, 2004 I am getting the feeling that I think I have seen alot but really have seen nothing of what is to come from you guys. Everything is really looking sharp, and I am looking forward to seeing OFP handling a real conflict, in a very realistic enviroment (in most other conflicts we have to scale the size of the maps down alot. And also have them have coastlines) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrains are gonna be so realistic you wouldn't believe.. Just don't expect much cover in the field.. It's the Falkland Islands remember! But don't worry we still have a few tricks up our sleeves..

But I understand the island won't be a single map? Is it impossible due to the size of the falklands (i don't know how large the area is) or are you afraid that it will lag? Yes the Islands wont be a single map, the biggest reason is the sheer size ( we talking 200+km wide!!!!) Its handy that most of the engagements took place within a few areas that can fit within the limits of OFP maps, and its also handy that they are very very sparsely populated as this also means lower objects counts.

I meant not knowing everything in a positive way, the surprise at release is the best thing there is for me when it comes to OFP addons. I mean I can't wait to see the argie soldiers up close and personal trough the gunsights of a harrier jet. Or better yet watching exocets fly overhead as the argies are laying down heavy metal on my squad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
