I find it hard to believe.

Sounds like a bunch of bunk to me.  Why would you need to increase island sizes by 6 times?  Arent they big enough?  How could you have large scale naval battles...you would need an incredible amount of players to man an entire Aircraft Carrier (can you say lag?).  Plus the quality of the site us suspect, it looks kind of "Bush League" for someone capable of making such an ambitious add-on.   Plus they would need the SDK to do this, which as far as I know, hasn't been released.

Verdict:Bulls**t!

Creating all that even with the SDK released today would take more than two months...

A 60 mission campaign?! To make it could you would need lots of time and lots of testing to get it rigth (although one could already have made some).

"Naval units include: Battleships, Aircraft Carriers and Submarines"

Battleships: Possible

Aircraft Carriers: Possible

Submarines: IMPOSSIBLE!!!

One of the pitfalls of an overhyped/faked addon...

"Coming soon!"

"...features and early screenshots appearing here soon"

"More information coming soon"

Theres a lot of soon in there... Thats what they said about Duke Nukem Forever some two years ago I think.

Parts of it is actually believable. Bigger towns, an all water map, even bigger maps (the unnoficial map editor said it would handle bigger maps, dont know if its true though), but everything in one big pack?! Its too good to be true...

I reckon it absolute crap!!!

They should change rrelease date to 29th February 2002 )))

29th? 1 extra day?

Does sound like crap, and you get one of those old pop-up windows with that "Worlds Biggest Casino" thingy. Probably a ploy.

[Unl33t 0]

Yeah, I think it's a load of bulls**t.

No way an addon like that would have a s**t web site done in Frontpage 5.

Anyone send an email to the link at the bottom of the page?

[Whargod 0]

And what if it's just a ploy to get your email addresses for mass emailing?

Just a thought...

Well it does sound like BS, but about the website it is crap but they might just want to work on the addons not the site. Well just an idea

I think its hype. But maybe BI has no time for making new addons because of VBS and has sent the SDK to a company wich goes on with making addons and campaigns. ;-)

"If its to good to be true, it is."

This, good fellows, is by far to good to be true.

Aircraft carriers? whaaa? submarines? pfffhhh! larger islands? -I dont remember the map editor being released yet.. Naval battles, with all water surroundings? oookkkk

ill stick with kegetys and a-lone-wolf (and those good fellows at the ofp editing center) for my addons, thanks!

It's a fake. Submarines can't be made in OFP because of the engine.

Hhhmmm... That alone makes me think that s**t is fake.

Avonlady, I looked at the source, and there's nothing that could be found through search engines.

How did you find the site?

(suspicious)

[m79 0]

I think its all BS.

sounds like someone has just scanned the froums, and made a page listing the most requested add-ons for a joke.

You'll have to subscribe to the awfully quiet official OFP Yahoo group and read this message.

Now, what ever were you suspicious of?

No, it wasnt Devil and it wasnt back in the summer, it was just a few month ago, if even that.

We can put submarines in OPF for sure and control em like choppers .

I msure the engine can handle that !!

[Damage Inc 0]

No we can't.

[quakergamer 0]

ok ok we cant !!

[gruntfuttock 1]

You got to admit it does sound awfully ambitious

especially for only 2 mths work?

[The PhanTom 0]

We all know Devil  likes to fock around with us maybe the whole s**t is fake.

Subs would not be possible indeed.

It's a load of s**t, I knew it when I entered.
