canukausiuka 1 Posted October 15, 2003 I got the 1st to videos to load, but none of the others. And it did take an ungodly amount of time to load. The videos are cool, but its almost exactly like OFP:R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toadlife 3 Posted October 15, 2003 With a trained and dedicated staff to create scenarios and the appropriate addons, OFP could be used just as easily as a trainer. It's all about the money. VBS costs big bucks and has nominal improvments over OFP, therefore it must be better value than OFP for training purposes. Paying $10 for a military trainer (OFP:GOTY) just wouln't be right for the country (the U.S.) that spends $10,000 for items like toliet seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supafly12 0 Posted October 15, 2003 spending $10.000 on a toilet seat and it still is crap VBS was only created for training purposes, how ever I dont see how a game can make a soldier, pilot, tank crewmember etc etc... any better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted October 15, 2003 spending $10.000 on a toilet seat and it still is crap VBS was only created for training purposes, how ever I dont see how a game can make a soldier, pilot, tank crewmember etc etc... any better. It can, a lot better too. It can teach teamwork but especially command. Obviously OFP/VBS will not teach you the physical aspects like marksmanship, but if you are an officer or higher up it can be a great simulation. It can have many uses inbetween CQB and tactical combat. If you are thinking of capture the flag or deathmatch type of gaming you are right, it deosn't add anything other than reflexes (which can be deadly to both sides ;) ). EDIT: I guess CQB can also be taught, that is if the buildings have proper collision lods which don't make you walk through walls or have otherwise problematic experiences... I see a problem with having no peek around corner, or climb into window etc. but not sure if VBS has that solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoCares 0 Posted October 15, 2003 We had this discussion already (maybe even in this thread); another advantage of VBS1 is the possibility of in-depth debriefings for all participants by a detailed record of the mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted October 15, 2003 yes exaclty, command decisions are later reviewed and discussed. I am not sure how much VBS adds to the debriefings, but even a simple seagull mode control is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acecombat 0 Posted October 15, 2003 Maybe the US amry has pawned off Kegetys spectating script *sue 'em i say* BTW are OFP addons compatible with VBS? IF so is it legal for VBS owners to enjoy OFP addons since 'we' made them not BIS and they havent got OFP in the first place to get the right by default to play with them?

IF so is it legal for VBS owners to enjoy OFP addons since 'we' made them not BIS and they havent got OFP in the first place to get the right by default to play with them? Maybe you didnt know but some of the units or addons as you may call them probly came from VBS1.So I wouldnt be acting like you would be pissed if they were using OFP addons.This is starting to sound like one of those © bullshit post,So I will just let this one hang out to dry.
