Sole 0 Posted April 16, 2003 yeah I agree with that Messiah, imo OFP is great for large battles including tanks etc, not much use of tanks in jungle area, Seb Nam pack allready satisfied my needs for Vietnam warfare and I don't think we need OFP2 to be 'wasted' to this theme. I would rather see something more modern like the war on the balkan. Anyhoo, I hope OFP2 will be as easy to mod as OFP1 and that it will be compatible with OFP1 addons and stuff. Like Messiah I'd prolly buy it anyhow tho... since OFP is like.. the best thing that ever hit my PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted April 16, 2003 You guys seem to have doomed the game after one picture, I say wait until E3 before making up your minds whether if it will be good or bad RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magnum66 0 Posted April 16, 2003 Im betting on a vietnam OFP. the few pics I've seen, have been 1960 to 70 flavored, plus... there was a group of modders doing a vietnam mod for OFP, when all of the sudden, they were ordered to stop. how dare you try and take some of codemasters money! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted April 16, 2003 New thing for flashpoint2.com... I hope it's another ficticious story, but if it's about veitnam, thats just as fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted April 16, 2003 I really hope that its not vietnam (even though it looks like it is ). Â I'm kinda tired of historical games and there are plently of them. It also means that there probably won't be modern stuff for quite a while until people can make addons for it which absolutely sucks, unless its backwards compatible.

Hit_Sqd_Maximus 0 Posted April 16, 2003 Well, I think the story line will be great, even if it wont be a very popular conflict. Lifeless? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaRRiLLioN 0 Posted April 16, 2003 I am just NOT looking forward to OFP2 being NAM. We play the Nam pack to death on my server and we're all getting a bit tired of it. I do hope that tunnels, caves, etc. all become a part of the new 3D engine, and I hope they can massively improve that part of it. The ability to do a true 3D landscape would be awesome. Also changing the way that buildings and such are would be a huge deal. Currently they are nice looking ornaments, but the clipping and stuff on them is horrible. That's because they're basically a model and not part of the 3D engine. Personally I think that Blackhawk Down is a perfect example of what the buildings should be like (except they should be destructable). Anyway, I'll probably get it, but I'm going to be really disappointed if it is NAM unless it is the most realistic thing to come along since real life!

FallenPaladin 0 Posted April 16, 2003 If I read through all this whining because of a possible vietnam setting I can understand why we got so little information in advance. Guys, be happy that there`ll be a OFP 2! BIS surely won`t fool us with a game lacking creativeness! If it really is a vietnam setting I hope BIS still writes such good stories like in OFP:R. I`d like to see a really good story (like in Platoon or We were soldiers) and not that Hollywood-good-US-soldiers-against-stupid-caveman-guerillas-cliche. Well, time will tell. But I`m optimistic and I can wait. Go BIS go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight 0 Posted April 16, 2003 Guys, don't worry about the theme, it's about the new engine, multiplayer and physics improvements, just wait a few months after it's release and you'll have a ton of mods covering every conflict you want. Notice the skills and quality of the add-ons are just getting better and better. By the time OFP2 will be released we will have state of the art add-ons, from "experienced" add-on makers. I for sure will buy this game, I've been playing it daily since the demo was first released and I can guarantee you I ain't gonna stop anytime soon Black Knight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harnu 0 Posted April 16, 2003 If it is about vietnam, there will be a lot of great stories.  I'm sure BIS won't lack creativity in it.  But this time around, Codemasters had better advertise it! If it does end up as Vietnam, I'll create a mission (Hoping that there will be a mission editor again! that is still somewhat classified... If I can torture it out of the guy whom know  P.S.

Assault (CAN) 1 Posted April 16, 2003 Well, it's obvious that the preview pictures show Vietnam era equipment, and alot of people have come to the conclusion that this will be a Vietnam era game. I hope it isn't true because I would like to play a more modern combat game, but maybe BIS is tired of developing that kind of stuff. Or maybe they just planted those pictures to keep us guessing, and it won't really be a Vietnam game. Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted April 16, 2003 hmm..when the TV's dial was on 50, it showed something....(Korean war?) than now, it's on channel 68(Vietnam) and what kind of TV has 68channel on their dial? wonder how many dials we are going to end up with. note:even mods are clueless about BIS's operation. so don't assume that we know something.

Placebo 28 Posted April 16, 2003 Perhaps we could have a tri-themed campaign, raw recruit fights in WW2 in campaign one, in campaign two he's toughened up somewhat as he battles the ferocity the enemy throw at him in Korea, in campaign three he's an older, wiser, disillusioned, grizzled veteran unsure as to why he's continuing to fight for Uncle Sam in the jungles of Vietnam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
