hi all, i took operation flashpoint off my pc about the beginning of november (fs2002 took over!). The multiplayer then wasn't much good: has it improved enough to be worth reinstalling? cheers

hi all, cheers for the info: when I get my new athlon xp1800 in a week or so, I'll reinstall and have a go! btw, I meant flight sim 2002! but thanks anyway! cheers leon

good point on OFP2: just out of interest, is it planned / being worked on? and another question for Suma: are there any plans for a "spectator" mode? I think that would be enough for most people if they can't get join in progress....

btw, i hope the developers don't think we're getting at them: it's a great game and they've done a great job. we wouldn't be so frustrated if we weren't that bothered about playing the game!

thanks for the credit! although I don't think it was such a good idea anyway! my only thought was that if join in progress is too much hassle, a spectator mode would be nice: at least then you could see what was going on, and if it was worth waiting for... cheers!

just downloaded the wolfenstein multiplayer demo: great fun.... can't compare it with op flash (like comparing a cartoon to a film!), but the multiplayer is a blast.... oh well, it's op flash for single player only from now on I think (which it's fantastic at). I'll check back now and again to see if they've improved the mp though....

just to add my thoughts..... I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea whether or not this is feasible (I don't know about data volumes, peformance impacts, programming effort etc). Would it be possible for the server to log any relevant outgoing messages in a file? Then as people joined, they get sent this log file in the same way as a mission file.... Their PC processes it (as though they received the messages in the first place). That should be close enough to allow spectating at least, which to be honest would be good enough for me. I don't mind watching for 10-15 minutes, as I could then tell whether or not it was worth waiting for...... which is the problem at the moment.....

all this probably makes the sdk a good idea.... then people could make a mod for everyone's taste..... Suma - are you planning on releasing an SDK? If so, do you think "join in progress" is something that could be implemented in a mod?

hi there, the only really "official" press release I saw that mentioned dedicated server support was the one for the interim upgrade, which stated it would be included in the september upgrade... that's here: http://www.codemasters.com/press/uk02082001.htm whether or not that's in the North American release is a different matter I guess..... any comments anyone? cheers
