I´ve been playing since the demo and time after time i still play the good old demo mission, it´s still one of the best sp missions in the game.

Since August 2001. I've got to say this is still the best game ever made and still it beats any brand new first-person-battle-tactics game. Long live OFP!

Yeh,Since I played OFP,I will never play other FPS games except OFP2.

Must be when they released the GOTY pack.

Cant remember exact

I started to play OFP from Day 1 of the release of the Demo ( First the Mission where you needed to raid the town )

And In that time the old forums where there... I liked the style of it....

Later I registered on the updated forums as hercules-200 and now I am here.

Played the demo somewhere in July 2001, bought the game somewhere in August I think. Joined the forums at September 11th 2001 (It was 00:46).

I played the Demo sometime in the year 2002 at one of my relatives.

I had to wait out for at least one year to play the full game. I finally got to play it on the 14th September, 2003.

So I ain't been playing as much as most of you here. I've just finished the CWC campain!

Since the demo came out. Anyone here who can remember the good old days when smart guys hacked the demo, so that you can shoot with the M16/203 instead the normal M-16. Boy, those were the days my friend ...

[waffendennis 0]

yeah and when the MP demo was released

[Acro 0]

I bought it summer '01.  I can't still get enough of it.

First heared about it in December 2000, playing it ever since the demo release (March 2001).

[Matthijs 40]

The demo from the day it was available, the release versions from the very day it hit the shelves.

ive been playing it since the day the demo came out pre-release, but in my mind i was playing it in my head at least a year before release of course it wasnt as fun in my head, not to mention all i had to go on was what BIS gave us (which actually happened to be alot)

edit: proof: http://opflashpoint1985.iespana.es/opflashpoint1985/veterans.html

and oh yea, talking about demo days, i remember it was like the best day of my life when i came home from school, checked the OPF news and saw the news article that the demo had been released (much awaited for by alot of people including me, and i believe at the time it was a surprise and we were expecting the demo a bit later)

lol but yea that was funny when we were modifying the mission pbo in OPF so we could fly the blackhawk and stuff lol, our "hax0r" techniques were so primitive then haha, and then i remember all the unofficial mission editors and crap that came out afterwards before game release

come to think of it when the demo came out we were lucky because BIS could have compressed the mission file and we would have been screwed. but i know BIS left it able to be changed intentionally oh yea and if anyone still has the first version of the demo, if you want demo missions i have a few cool ones i made (made them in notepad too at the time LOL good ole' notepad, jpg map of OPF to figure out the coordinates to put in and nothing else )

[jakerod 254]

I played it since the 24th of December (Early Christmas present), the year it came out. I played the demo from october up until i got it, found about 1000 different ways to beat Ambush, which is what got me hooked to the game.

Pre-Ordered Resistance and got Red Hammer the christmas after. Took a break for a while last spring playing Delta Force 2 (which is the reason why i even knew about the game, thank you to whichever one of my squadmates told me about it) and Black Hawk Down (which eventually pissed me off with hardly any MG recoil) Then came back to OFP learned Visitor, started my mod and here i am now.

Been playing is since the demo came out too. Didn't join up with the community until the main release of the game. Hadn't it been for OFPEC I don't think I would have been around still.

From the day the demo came out.

Been tracking ofp since the first pic ( i think well over 1 year before release ) were shown in PC gamer UK.

Ah sigh the memories :

Disembarking from the truck going over the little hill and getting slaughtered cause you just didn t have a clue what was going on ...

Still love this game !

I got a little further than you.

That's how I learned what a BMP is.
