Should I try OFP multiplayer and if so, how?

Recommended Posts

So yeah, I've had OFP:GOTY since '04 but never got around to doing anything but singleplayer with it. I don't have ArmA because my computer is too sluggish for it. I guess I have three questions:

(1) Is it worth trying to get into OFP multiplayer?

(2) Does anybody still play?

(3) If so, what mod(s) do they tend to use?

(4) What should I know as a complete newbie so that I won't be an annoying n00b?

Thanks for any help anyone can give. :yay:

1. Yes I realy miss having a connection fast enough for COOP

2. Yes I am prity sure

3. Look at the serverlist it usualy says what is used

4. Follow the rules on the server!

I advise to play on servers using addons. The more - the better. Less chance that you'll play with morons and kids.

If you have OFP already, give it a shot but don't expect anything mindblowing. I wouldn't buy the game for its MP anymore.

And less chance that you'll play at all.

Not really. For example: CiA server.

You should definitely play Multiplayer OFP, particularly with the CiA guys.

Here are the important links:

CiA needed Addons page Install both FDF and WGL. I recommend grabbing all the optional stuff on this page.

Teamspeak is required.

This link will show you online games in progress, along with other info: OFP Stats

See you online!

Okay, I'm downloading the CiA/FDF mods now.

This should be interesting!

Two additional bits:

1. For FDF, amongst the optional items I recommended, the Finmod Model Conversion and the WGL compass are great. Don't pass them up. (they're all great, actually)

2. On a related note, for WGL, if your computer is good for it, I recommend installing the @WGL_Ryan models conversion - check the Forum Post link on that page for more information. If you need help getting set up, let me know and I'll do what I can. WGL documentation will help.

Edit: In response to your #4, above: do everything the server rules say to do.

More stuff:

Make backups (of original OFP files and configs you plan on replacing, particularly).

Modfolders

Dslyecxi's OFP page - good, helpful info

MrBurnsAECIslands - original islands texture and flora replacements

My computer, like yours, is too sluggish for ARMA - it runs OFP very well with all of the above, in multiplayer.
