When you are going from one island to the other, a superoptimized script, mod or whatever, would automatically load the other island without noticable lag. At least that is a dream of mine. Then railways would become really useful, to send troops, gear, tanks, ammo e.t.c. I see a bright future for the OFP engine anyway. BIS = wizards. You think it and they can make it Hidden<span id='postcolor'> play hide and seek looks depressive from this point of view but bridges, sea and railroads travels really nice would remember Germany and England jus need some more planes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathguy 0 Posted April 4, 2002 But it would be damn fun to have all island connect to each other and that with no lag at all, you can pass on one island to another one and be able to have lot's of activities on all of the island. Would be fun....but it's almost impossible. OFP engine would maybe support it....and maybe not. If it's not him who can't support it, than it will be are computers. What a wonderfull dream. But adding train to ofp would add really something! An example of a mission (that no one as brought up yet): you and your team are in the civil train getting to a stop into an ennemy base. It's the night. Everyone sleep, the train stop...you and your man get out of the train...everyone kill the sentinel silently with the SD's. Than go to the objectives (blow up the fuel depot and kill the commander)... after explosives plant, get back into the train...the train get out of the base...(if it's a manual one) you press the little red button...BOUM!!...while the train get away, you hear an alarm and the ennemy woke up confuse. Mission acomplish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USSoldier11B 0 Posted April 4, 2002 DF2 had trains and it was cool. I don't think it's a bad idea at all. I want to pull a 007 and park a tank in front of it and shoot the train head on then jump out of the tank. He he he Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Toolman 1 Posted April 4, 2002 It would be cool if you could walk freely through the Bus, and kill some of the passengers,(same for the train) But one thing that would be awesome, is getting into a Boeing 747, I know that's never gonna happen in OPF (Resistance) cause thats just not realistic, such an big plane landing on a small island like Everon,Malden,or Nogova, but it would be sure cool, to walk in the plane, then place satchel charges, jump out, and as you see the plane flying away, that you detonate the charges, to see the plane blow up, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are insured Imagine you are moving up a mountainside, then you hear a whistle, turn around and see a train passing by 1km from you (or less, depends on viewing distance of course).
