VBS-1 Public Release - 01.04.2002 | 11:12

Folgende Email von Marek Spanel hat mich gerade erreicht.

Dear Operation Flashpoint player,

Regarding the great success of Operation Flashpoint and Red Hammer and looking at the positive feedback on the Virtual Battlefield Simulation, we have decided to release a slightly different version of VBS to the public.

It will not contain any classified material, so our development partners will not be a problem.

We hope to deliver even more realistic gameplay to the users with that step.

Release has been planned for August 2002.

Best Regards,

Marek Spanel

Why cant they do it they alrdy have the engine etc.. only some big changes where in the VBS and more units. So whwy cant they give it to public? i think it has a very improved netcode because us army plays on big networks so maby there is a sence of truth in it...

Independence lost is supposedly the public version of VBS, so why should they also release VBS...

I agree with you that it is a bit strange. Independence Lost is not looking getting nowhere right now, cos the site is not uptaded. OFP: Resistance (after we play as an american and a russian, it's time for the resistance to kick ass (just wanted to say that ), looking to come out soon. VBS1 and the one for public, the thing that is strange in this is that the site is down.

Both VBS1 and Independance Lost are looking pretty much the same. But we have like nothing about each of em cos theyre are no complete sites. The only thing that we can expect now is Resistance, but VBS1 for the public would be greatly appreciated.

If it's an April fools, it's really not funny.

I wouldn't think they would want to flood the market w/ too many choices. Some people will only buy one and why make them choose between 2 or 3 BIS products? Never give the consumer to many options

You're assuming he doesn't have a sense of humor. That's a bet I wouldn't want to make.

Don't think so...

VBS1 is set in now days with actual weapons and vehicles... resistance is set close to the era of the fisrt OFP.

ermm. IL is not Resistance. They are two seperate things. IL IS supposedly the public version of VBS1.

[Tex -USMC- 0]

Goddam April Fools... And of all the things to joke about lol. Oh well... *resumes twiddling his thumbs, waiting for Resistance*

[Mr ThunderMakeR 0]

So whos' joke do you think it is? OFP.de's or Marke Spanel's???

[Placebo 28]

I highly doubt Marek would joke about something involving his company in this way, it's also possible that the terms of the Vbs1 contract would disallow such talks.
