I give all the games that I play a fighting chance so here are some pros for you...

uh ooh hum..

let me think...

Oh here is one thing you follow a yellow box and your targets are in yellow boxes with out that your completely lost.

Your weapons are realistic {to much}

your commander yells out orders at you constantly and you have no idea what the hell he is talking about

This is the most unserious review of OFP I've ever seen.. Read it and laugh at him, I honestly don't think that review deserves anything else.

For the rest of us this game will torture you and leave you with a felling of man I spent to much for this f-----.

Thank God I borrowed it from a friend.    <span id='postcolor'>

Notice the hit counter - 62.

"I was in the national guard for 6 years as a combat military police. I know the movements and attack, this game had me lost with out that stupid yellow box."

He must`ve been dishwashing all the years...

"2. more personal killing...{ Let me explain I like to enjoy my kills watch them fall take there head off blow them up not a little puff of red smoke and there dead}.."

Oh dear...

"6. talk to novalogic {creators of delta force } and learn how to be realistic and still entertain people"

Sure, BIS talking to Novalogic to get help concerning realism... hehehe AI?!? wass that?

Lol, yeah

[Spitfire 0]

Well, some people just can't recognize a good game if it bit them in their a**es. Nah, seriously there is no game that everyone likes. Playing OFP just requires certain kind of character to enjoy.

btw. this is related to OFP and shouldn't be in off-topic...

Yeah, but I didn't reckon it was worthy a place in General, and even doubted posting it in Offtopic because the review is so lame, lol.

Yes, maybe you're right. If this was a true review instead of whining of a 13-year-old kid maybe it should be in General

3. not so easy to die

4. scope on more weapons {if your target is a realistic 300m you need a scope, I have shot targets at 300m  with a m16 A2 I know}

5. movement smoother { this game is a lot of unsteady movements}

6. talk to novalogic {creators of delta force } and learn how to be realistic and still entertain people<span id='postcolor'>

This guy has the spelling and grammar "no how" of an mental midget.

One word about this review is "Sucky"

-=Die Alive=-

[Mr. Snrub 0]

Assuming, of course, this isn't some failed attempt at satire, I have a few suggestions for our would-be games critic here:

1. Correct grammar and spelling does, in fact, help give the impression you are intelligent.

2. Calling the game 'too hard to learn', 'too realistic' and admitting you don't know what's going on makes you appear somewhat handicapped.

3. Some basic HTML skills (or at least choosing colours that don't make your eyes explode) gives the review a more professional look, and avoids that "13 year old h4x0r" image.

4. Get your facts straight - assuming an AK47 cannot hit you at 200 metres in Counter-Strike doesn't mean that it can't hit you in real life.

5. Admitting that your criteria for 'a good game' involves 'watching their heads fall off and explode' is not professional.

Every single sentence in this excremental "review" is flawed.

Anyhoo, it's nothing to get wound up about I've got a feeling that of the 73 people to visit the page, 70 of those are him and his mum. I feel pity...lots and lots of pity...

Someone should send this doofus an email (if he's figured out how it works) with a link to this thread - just in case he thinks those extra 12 or so web hits are from people who agree with him

[FallenPaladin 0]

LOL

Snrubbie, you are our volunteer

[Mr. Snrub 0]

Hehe, I was going to actually, but I couldn't find his contact details anywhere (big surprise), and after reading his "Welcome" page, he just seems like a poor, illiterate kid with a false sense of wisdom. I'd imagine if he saw this thread he'd feel pretty bad about himself, so I guess we should just mock his crappy grammar in our own way. I think he knows he's not what he makes himself out to be. It's not like he's offending a lot of people anyway (86 at last count)

Edit: Now that I remember, he said he was in the National Guard for 6 years as "a combat military police", so I guess he's not a poor illiterate kid, but some illiterate adult who should know better. Assuming of course he's not a 13 year old lying out of his arse

[Longinius 1]

That text doesnt even come close to a serious review, for so many reasons it just hurts to think about.

Disregard it.

Press on.

The question arises: Why is he writing reviews then?

Anyway, this guy is way to crude and rude to be taken seriously by anyone. Reading his review, you won't actually find out what a game is like, just that it sucks.

Besides the fact that the only thing the National Guard does these days is stack sandbags or stand around in an airport looking semi-important.

4. scope on more weapons {if your  target is a realistic 300m you need a scope, I have shot targets at 300m with a m16 A2 I know}

<span id='postcolor'>

Well, years ago in the Bundeswehr I had to hit a man-shaped training target 300m away with a 34-year-old G3 -without scope. Yes it's difficult, but OFP wants to be realistic, that's why there are no HalfLifeSuperMassacreKillEverybodyWithBringingCrosshairOverThem-weapons (except for the M41a )! We can be glad OFP's weapons don't have twisted barrels (Some G3s nearly shot around the corner, you had to know your aim-point...).

Err...I hope he's lying. Otherwise we have to assume the National Guard is a bunch of unskilled hobby soldiers...

Wow, either his site is really populare (err, right lol) or this topic boosted his counter up pretty seriously - from 62 to 1243 in just 9-10 hours

Well, he might not like Flashpoint, but at the very least he should be happy that we all boosted his hit counter up so high!!

But to call this a review isnt really fair. I would more refer to it as a rant, or a blog... not a review.
