lol ... I myself voted 'Yes I would pay for JIP'. I included three NO's because I wanted to find out more why ppl don't want JIP or Join In Progress. To me it should be obvious that most everyone wants it. Most (all?) multi-player games today have JIP. As the number of players that are able to connect onto a single game grows (thus giving us larger, more involved games), there will be no alternative to JIP. I would like to see a large OFP campaign on-line where players could join all the time and the front would go back and forth. That would be immersion! That would also be role-playing! lol ... now I am dreaming.

Hi all. I am new to the game and this forum. My first impression of the game (besides that it was good, of course) was the lack of in-game joining. This makes one spend a lot of time simply trying to enter a (good) game. I have seen a number of threads in this forum dealing with this issue, so rather than starting another one I am inviting all to a poll, so that we can clearly see what the general opinion on this matter is. I have tried to list the alternatives in no more than 6 choices. Now vote  .

I totally agree with Horse and Dangus. I would be willing to pay for a better MP interface, including the all-important JIP (Join In Progress). I bought OFP two weeks ago, and as a newbie I see this game fresh; both its good sides (the great graphics, all the weapons, vehicles and possibilities) and the bad sides (the bugs, like the "get into a vehicle at the same time" bug) and the time it takes to join a decent game. This is a great game, but with a flawed setup. Thats my verdict for now. I hope I will go on playing it! lol....as a newbie I have made some teamkills. I then wanted to quit the game (I felt so embarrassed) but I hesitated since I knew it would take me 20 minutes or more to join a new game......*sigh* I am surprised about the arguments against JIP. - From a technical point of view: if it is possible to save a single-player game, then why can't you 'save' a multiplayer game and update the world for the new player? Sure it is difficult but hardly impossible! - From a simulation point of view: yes, it is more realistic to disallow in-game joining, but I reserve realism for the Single-Player game. The Multi-Player game is made for multiple players to come together and play the game...lol.... it is really very simple! OFP is a great game. Keep up the good work!
