Doors!!!!!!!

[Shabadu 0]

Is it just me or is a game that's all about realism that doesn't include openable doors just not very realistic, I mean could they just not be bothered to write the code, just like the dodgy water?

Most games include this basic function why not the so-called realistic ofp?

I don't care about if a game doesn't have openable doors as long as it's fun to play.

[Shabadu 0]

Fair enough but is it much to ask? Hopefully this is sorted in ofp2 but why wasn't it included?

I would certainly have more fun hiding in buildings if it meant I could go in and close the door behind me. Some of the coolest buildings don't have an open door either.

Hmm before adding doors i would rather like to see multi room, multi level buildings with large interiors after all clipping problems had been solved, so that inhouse missions become possible. When this is possible, yeah doors make sense.

I really don't think the aim of Opf was to have the lil things like that, IMO the aim was to simulate open warfare on a grand scale, which I believe they've done a bloody good job of doing

Yes of course it would be nice to have enemy compounds, underground bunkers, perhaps even office blocks and such like, but for now those are just dreams, dreams which perhaps if we're lucky could become reality in a sequel

Office blocks and other similar things don't really suit OFP, they suit games like Counter-Strike much better. I'd like some bunkers though.

But it can't exactly be hard to make a code that makes a solid object move or short distance can it? I know the game acheived it's goals but doors are a basic part of the real world, it's not realism if you're not trying to simulate real life. Now people will say 'oh well if we're going to be realistic lets include food, drink and sex' but seriously it would have been cool to run and hide in a civilian town but not have to go and crouch behind a wall but set up your LAW at thee window and blow the crap out of the enemy who come blundering up the hill behind you.

Or in a mod maybe?

Every serious military game should have a nice blend of indoor and outdoor fighting, at least the possibility to conduct some missions indoor.

Keeping fingers crossed as i see this a major weekpoint for now, that lets you play other games than OFP for the indoor aspect.

I'm not saying there has to be indoor missions just the opportunity to go indoors. It would open up a range of tactics into the game for a start.

Ok when I said office blocks I mean something more along the lines of, an abandoned building in a town that the enemy are holed up in, partly bombed out, some parts intact, you get sent in to sweep out any remaining enemy so that your company can use the town as a base, things like that

Now that's what I'm talking about.

It's already possible

Yes but only the buildings with no doors.

Aight.

nuff said.

[Placebo 29]

However, having said that

[Damage Inc 0]

Said what? I don't quite get that post.

[Placebo 29]

You don't? Hmm that's strange, was it only last night you said I'm "so predictable"

I was just perpetuating the myth

[Damage Inc 0]

Okay I think you were saying "However, having said that I'm going to post just this one spam post more." ...don't ban me.

[Placebo 29]

Hmm if you were really joking you would have used a "" I think you should lose your post count for that.

Didn't you see that smiley there? Were you hallucinating or something?

[Placebo 29]

LOL now that's cheating, I can't do that cos it says "edited by placebo"

Is the check in the mail?

[Damage Inc 0]

You mean that 1 cent? You won't get it because you didn't close that thread for good.

[Placebo 29]

And as I said in the thread you didn't specify that, thus your protest is null and void, if the check isn't mailed I will be forced to have my legal advisers contact you.

[Damage Inc 0]

Ha, I trix0red you, there are no 1 cent coins in Finland.
