This is without a doubt the best OFP news I've read in a long time, but in some ways it's a shame because OFP MP has become entirely playable since 1.2, for the most part. Could there be any chance of join in progress being included with this new netcode? I think with a combination of the 2 it would open up the possability of constant OFP worlds with much larger scale battles and possibly a more realistic style of play (resupply, strategic capture points, limited supply of heavy vehicles etc).

Though that's probally asking too much it would certainly create a really amazing atmosphere, one that would be akin to WW2ol, but with OFP's excellent graphics, infantry similation etc
