Especially typing on the XBOX. smile.gif

About the rest of this interview...

There goes our 2.0 patch. mad.gif

No JIP mad.gif

No addon manager mad.gif

No clipping fix mad.gif

No pixellated vertexes mad.gifmad.gif

Not even the bloody sound bug fixed. mad.gif

Codemasters should reject the current 1.91 beta and demand a better patch than this, especially if there will be no new OFP until 2005 at the earliest?! OFP on the XBox is not a "new" OFP, and Independence Lost still might not even come out according to what Marek said. If IL does come out, that would be a nice time for a MAJOR patch, like sometime this summer.

Is the GOTY even out in the US yet?

And yet despite all that it's still the best game in the genre by a long, long, long, long way, freaky smile.gif

Me neither, but I want at least a working stable netcode for multiplayer  but at least the game should be stable. For many people it isn't anymore, since 1.90. <span id='postcolor'><span id='postcolor'>

I have no problems with current netcode, and super-fast servers, I think that the biggest boost to OFP Multiplayer was the 2Ghz 1024Ram servers, with 5Mbit+ connections. since these have been afforadable the gamplay is fine, we can have 24 people on a complex coop map and still maintain performance. ... hosting a game for 6 people on a home dsl line may not be as smooth, and maybe thats where the sockets netcode lacks ... 56 and 64Kers do struggle more on MP thesedays, but the improvement for those with good connections is great.

UNFORTUNALEY he said JIP would be in the next engine, I hope it will be server or mission disabling option, I dont want it in coop,

It's not a problem with the server, it is a problem with the game itself. Many people (not all) are getting time outs during play on a regular basis. The problem is that this only happens since the second last patch, and only for certain people. These people are getting the timeouts very often, though.

Now with BIS discontinuing OFP, people like me are screwed, as we have to live with this game bug introduced with one the last betas. confused.gif

A sad day indeed to hear we will be getting no more OFP related releases from BIS until 2004.

I was hoping that IL would be out this year to tide us over, but apparently not.

Now more than ever, we need the OFP community to pull together to extend the life of OFP.

High definition texture updates, high quality addon packs (like BAS Rangers), and a more uniform approach to addons (we really need to pull our collective fingers out and create some sort of standardized addon packs for MP and SP use) to make new and exciting missions & campaigns.

Come on, JIP would be cool in OFP if you think about it... as an option. Conflicts reaching several days, and a lot of other stuff I can't think of right now because I gotta catch the bus hehe.

99% sure. If not, license them. No major military secrets here.

No. There are other complex command and mission control components stitched into VBS1.

It's incredible achievement for a PC game and it surpassed all dreams we had before the release. Resistance was also very good seller with around 200 thousand copies sold so far, which is very good result for an expansion pack. GOTY Edition was released only in some countries and it definitely helps to continue life of Operation Flashpoint in gaming stores.<span id='postcolor'>

1.2 million copies of OFP sold, but only 200 000 OFP:R sold. Now the GOTY edition would prop up that number slightly.

I think that the 1.0 to 1.46 OFP left many people with a bad taste in their mouth that they didn't bother getting OFP:R. That's a shame.

Well even 200,000 copies of an expansion sold is extremely good result. Normally 300,000 copies is enough to declare game a success. It was never going to sell as much as original OFP anyway.

Yes, I would guess that for every legitimate copy there would be at least 1.5 pirated copies out there.

That = about 3,000,000 copies of OFP.

Not bad for a game that got relatively little marketing or advertising.

I think that's because they are secretly three-heaed aliens from Sirrus B, with a mission to enslave all mankind with their addictive computer games. How's that for speculation wink.giftounge.gif

Hey, what`s so funny with that? I`m with the forums for a very long time now and I participated in the first patch testing after 1.00. Why shouldn`t I get interviewed, too?

Nobody likes me... sad.gif

OMG guys, I cant believe after 4 pages noones mentioned this.

Mark says BIS are going to make a big announcement shortly, HOWEVER, and this is the big one, he's not sure that Independence Lost is even going to be released......

Now, I dunno about you, but maybe.... MAYBE there are 2 projects on the go here, an OFP2 and ID perhaps?confused.gif?confused.gif?
