Lame game

[FragnSlayer 0]

I gave this game a SERIOUS try. Got ALL patched & upgrades. Made several maps but the only conclusion any reasonable person can make is: Trash it and move on. Some reasons are:

1- Weapon selection is way too clumsy.

2- Can't dodge incoming fire while reloading or changing weapons. Now that's unreal but it's also poor programming.

3- Fire a LAW and your the number one target on the map. Every AI knows where you are and comes looking.

4- Weapon turns into a limp rubber ornament when running; Can't fire while running... Absolutely no weapon control... too fake.

5- Fire a mortar up hill or around a corner and you just committed suicide.

6- Try to flank the AI and they automatically KNOW what your doing.

7- I won't even get into the poor multiplay SETUP.

8- In multiplay, when players respawn, the dead bodies accumulate until there are so many bodies that the game finally becomes unplayable due to graphic and data overload.

9- Obviously the programmers of this game have never played it much at all. These problems have always existed in this game.

10- Select a rocket launcher and you instantly become a Duck... you waddle around, locked in a squatting position unable to maneuver. Get real.

Oh yea... lets not forget the stupid, ever repeating, WHERE ARE YOU?

I can't believe I wasted my time and money on this game.

I think you're lame. Have fun playing Quake XI while I play games that are worth playing.

If you dont like it, then dont play it. And shut your mouth complaining

I can't believe you wasted your time on such a lame thread...

LOL, you are pathetic. This game is not some bunny hopping frag fest game like counterstrike you dumbass. What were you expecting? To be able to run around with law launcher and shoot it while jumping up and down in the air? Go play counterstrike if you want to do that crap.

This game portrays realistic combat......you must be really slow if you didn't figure that out by now.

Looks like his troll thread was pretty successful.

ROTFL! Wow, thank you FragnSlayer! I have had a crappy day so far and I needed a good laugh. Your points are all so good, but I must admit that I like 3 & 4 the best!

ps. Is this guy for real?

You know, trying to circle strafe the AI in flashpoint is not a good idea

Untrue, bodies do dissapear, but after a while.

Take him as a warning example: that might happen to all of us if we stop playing OFP!

1: How fast could you put your rifle to your back, then take the LAW from your back, extend it and place it on your shoulder?

2: I dont think you can dodge bullets even when you arent reloading... this is not the matrix, better just keep that head down instead of running around.

3: Better have some people protecting you.

4: This is no quake like some people said already

5: around a corner? Its not a homing missile

6: Dawdler said it

7: I think it works rather well? What would you think that could be improved?

8: Try playing missions that dont have respawn. its much much more fun when you really fear of death.

9: I think they have played it for 4 years

10: The "rocket launchers" are used to shoot armored targets, you fire and take your rifle to your hands.

"Oh yea... lets not forget the stupid, ever repeating, WHERE ARE YOU?"

You should not leave your squad behind. They are there to help you, and you are supposed to stick together. Again, this is not quake where you run around alone shooting everything that moves.

Whaaaaa, thanks for buying the game, gives us as chance to.....

1. One-Key-solution would be better, but I never really had a problem with it.

2. This is not the MATRIX. You should find cover/concealment before reload.

3. That's what radios are made for and you should always engage the most dangerous enemy first - that's also the reason why the maschine gunner is your first dead team mate.

4. Ever tried to shoot from your hip while moving in real life?

5. Don't get this one.

6. Why shouldn't they know, when they can see you leaving the squad?

7. Ongoing improvements with each patch.

8. That's a matter of mission setup. I know, that (some or all?)official missions remove the corpses after 5 or 10mins.

9. I'm sure, some of them would disagree... But anyway, if you find a real problem and report it, they might investigate and implement an improvement if neccessary. Just check how fast 1.46 was out after problems with 1.45 were reported.

10. Finally you found something that's worth a look...

11. Just keep your team together or give them appropriate order and they shut up.

Most of these items are gameplay related and thus no indication for poor programming.

And one hint for the future:

Get the demo - as you said, most of your items were there from the beginning...

Edit: I was too slow...

[LordZach 0]

have you ever tried to shoot something while sprinting? i guess someone who has probably never fired a gun would not understand that. this isn't rambo here, son.

[Intruder 0]

1.This ain't quake clone where you can hold 5 weapons including an RPG launcher plus reload it while your running for cover (try to do it in real life) lol.

2. Cos your busy changing magazines, duh, suggest you reload behind cover while prone, you may survive.

3. And ofcourse the AI is gonna target you if you become a threat, don't you do the same? I usually get the machine gunners and AT guys first before they can do damage. Sounds like pretty good AI too me.

4. Can't fire when running? Sure you can, but just try and shoot accurately when running, I don't think so.

5. Thats what explosions do If your a crap shot.

6. Smart AI, wouldn't you say.

Sorry If I repeated anything that was already said, just had to post

He didn't mention tanks, APCs, jeeps, trucks, boats, helicoptors, or planes. Maybe he didn't know that you can use these as well.

FWord

[LordZach 0]

maybe he left after the first mission because they wouldn't let him pilot an apache and carry a M16, M60, LAW, and also carry a deployable M2 with him.

i feel sorry for the people who get the game and think its another quake

[Intruder 0]

Maybe he didn't get past the trainning mission

[Placebo 29]

Nice to see the troll put in his place by people who know a "real" game when they see one

Closing this now
