Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted December 4, 2003 Some humorous answers please. How I got the idea to post this thread? Today I was standing and watching the beach and the sea. I was astonished how realistic the waves looked and tried to compare it with OFP. It made me think about all the last games that had been published and I tried to remember the game that had created waves and water which most resembeled what I was looking at. MOHAA wasnt bad, Battelfield 19xx even better. "what a neird I am" I thought, "here I have the real sea, real waves, real salt water" and I think about computer games?" Sad enough!!!

mr burns 132 Posted December 4, 2003 oh yes. everytime when i have the opportunity to watch a nice sunrise or dawn with beutiful colored clouds, guess what...ofp comes to my mind and i catch myself saying something like "cool..this looks like in OFP" and my friends will surely send some nerved looks into my direction if they´re near Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InqWiper 0 Posted December 4, 2003 Hehe. Me and a friend was talking about this too. Its amazing how good the water looks IRL and the graphic are stunning. This is what we think about while sitting on a little cliff by the water in the middle of the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frisbee 0 Posted December 4, 2003 When you're at a party accompanied by your best (ofp playing) friend and some girls,you discuss tactics for finally tackling that cursed coop mission instead of chatting with one of the six nice girls that came with you. No,instead of that you talk about flanking,grabbing rpg's from that russian squad and curse about T80's. Comparing real life 'graphics' with computer graphics as well of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 5, 2003 You know God came up with some nice textures, but he doesn't have a lens flare on the sun, which would have been nice. The trees are great.....have you seen how they move in the wind? But the gameplay sucks IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milkman 1 Posted December 5, 2003 I have the same problems with mixing flashpoint and real life. I was watching a video in drivers ed crash and I muttered "CAR is history!" While playing football a got taken out an opposing player and I thought "Damn 1... is down!" I swear that I also hear death cries like the ones in Flashpoint randomly every once in awhile.

Gollum1 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Hehe I was just thinking about this today, what a coincidence. Today I had an urge to run up to a guy riding on a motorcycle, throw him off, and steal it.
