FP : DR - News & Discussion

[ricbar89 0]

Lol, a lying kid makes them all go: Oh, fantastic.....christ, so it can get alot worse......kids. For the record there were only pc's standing with OFP:DR.

A lieing kid that got called liar by many mebers, if something like that had been posted on BIS do you really think everyone would dismiss it? I think its best you dont answer that.

Oh common!

It's positive about DR, surely it must be true. I mean, who would lie about something as honest and pure as a Codemasters game :bounce3:

Your sarcasm is mis-placed as noone believed him anyway.

From what I read, only two people contradicted him, and one of them was given an infraction by a mod for calling the guy a liar. If you're going to engage in mud slinging, get your case right.

That what you read on the forums, and a mod should give the benifit of a doubt. And like i said, if someone had taken the time to do the same with ARMA your telling me everone would have been questioning him? :j:

Anyway, it doesnt matter, no point in posting here anymore, the ignorance is just to much for me now.

First sentence doesn't make sense, but you seem to be contradicting yourself - one minute you're saying that it's obvious that he was lying and that everyone saw through him, now you are saying the mods have to give him the benefit of the doubt?

And yes, God knows if someone was sad enough to try that around here, I think people would see through him straight away.

I said a mod should give the benefit of the doubt, they are in a position of responsibility, people are free to make their own decisions. How is that contradictive?

Surely the mod could have proven if PS3 was there? Or else why is he the mod of the CM forums?

Also, lulz at the 2-3 people on the thread who said "I don't care if he made it up, it's still a good review!"

I thought that was cute also.

So why did they give the idiot that obviously is lying the benefit of the doubt, but not the guy that puts forward a case to show that he's lying?

And I find it curious that you accuse us of ignorance when you change your case every post.

ManDay is just a mod, he has very little direct involvment with CM, he's not like Viiiper with info and a NDA. I doubt he even knew what was there.

Because the noone can prove the "Idiot" was lying, a member cant look at IPs, so the other guy had to be lying. Just because its obvious to you doesnt mean you can just hand out a infraction, or let someone else make accusations without any actual proof. What's to stop anyone from just calling someone a lair without proof in the future?

Chage my case, i thought it was quite clear?

Is all this still about a game, or soap opera?

I wonder how much bandwidth this takes away from bis, to discuss a competitors product?

Actually, Before the ArmA 1 release, I posted a few items that I read a while before about features that were left ingame but not activated, great features. Even that it would have been fantastic, I got called out immediately as not being informed and quickly became so :D . So my perspective of this community is that there are excitable elements (me included), but the lumped average is that it is very pragmatic, and honest at times to a fault.

Holy s**t people, give it a rest. Honestly, what bearing does this have with OFPDR? Does whatever this person said, whether it be truthful or not, and the response of the OFPDR community really have an impact on the game itself? Here we are bickering about nothing, and no one has bothered to answer my question, can the grass be turned off if it is a performance hit or really ugly? Is it possible to talk about the game and not the communities of ArmaII and OFPDR?

But whatever, keep debating the merits of the OFPDR community and extrapolate that to your opinion of the game.

Sheesh

Student Pilot:

We are discussing a "review" of a game with in the games dedicated forum thread.

Where exactly are you?

[Student Pilot 0]

Still waiting to hear something even remotely related to the game itself instead of all this "OMFGLOLZ the OFPDR community suxors LOL!!!!".....

-Student Pilot

[Zipper5 74]

This is related to the game.

Aren't communities a strong aspect of most games? It's the strongest aspect of BIS' games.

Well then, I guess you do not believe the review either?

It's all in fun sir.

I to would like to know the question you asked, but I believe we will have to wait and see the answer in the demo.

If the community is so honest why are posts like this being made?

Who said the community is honest? It's strong, but not always honest.

And that's walker... 'nuff said.

Their community so far is not strong at all, and is not honest.

No community is perfect, but compare any of Walker's posts with Sir. Polaris' linked a few pages back... You do understand that there are varying degrees of idiocy, right?

I think post like Sir Polaris come from the frustration of reading what is said here.

Look at the ARMAII thread at CM, it was one of the most popular threads there, but after what was said here Viiiper had enough and moved it to the depths of the forum. Now no matter what your opinions of Viiiper may be he let that thread exist for all that time before moving it (i actually PM'd Viiper to protest about it being moved, and he himself told me he was fed up with the negativity, so i know that for a fact). If there had been less rubbish here by some members that thread would still be up, and all the hundreds of people would still be viewing it, and becoming interested in ARMAII because of it, but they’re not.

Its just an example of the segregation of the old OFP community, that has although has been six of one and half a dozen of the other it started at BIS end im sorry to say.

I've been here since before the DR community existed, and even before the very first grainy 30 second clip of gameplay there was an aurora of negativity, and im not the only one who has pointed out the constant negativity, other users have in this very thread.

So although i dont exactly like those kind of posts, i can at least see where they come from.

So Walker's posts single handedly turned huge sections of the DR forums from rational and logical people to retarded fanboys that are about 10x worse than anyone here?

[Zipper5 74]

Of course there will be negativity. Codemasters took the name which many of the members here are fans of, causing BIS serious money problems and having to create the ArmA series.

Not only that, but they've come on to make OFPDR which, and I quote, they said would not be dumbed down. This was a while ago, granted, but they said it. And have said it many times since. But there's no denying it, it's watered down. And that's not what OFP fans want to see. It's a slap in the face to the original fan base and Codemasters deserve the ridicule they get as a result.

I for one will see what it's like based on reviews and a demo, if there is one. If it's toted as nothing more than Call of Duty 4 with more freedom, I ain't touching it.

?

I clearly stated there has been an aurora of negativity for the very beginning by many people here, Walkers post was an example. Like i said the frustration comes from here, if you go back through this thread you'll many a retarded fanboys post, totally rubbishing DR, not at all giving it a chance. Retarded fanboys aren’t exclusive to CM im sorry.

Im not defending it, but my point is if less people had made their minds up before the first footage had come out (the game isn’t even out yet but it feels like it is here), then both communities would be in much better standing.

Less people are going to know about ARMA2 from whats been said here, and that’s a shame.

Dude, at very best, the game doesn't look like it's going to be any kind of sequel- or even distantly related- to OFP. For those who want another tactical sim like OFP only enhanced, I'm not sure there's much to be super positive about DR. We are here and we play ArmA because of its similarities to OFP. Well, at least I do. Purists, I think, will not be impressed. This is okay by the CM devs because it's obviously not purists they are trying to impress. But, if something is negative, I think we ought be to allowed to express that.

Again my point is the negativity that has been around from the very beginning, also the unfair attitude towards DR, like I said anything negative being taken as fact whether there is any evidence to back it up or even evidence to its contrary.
