I dont even bother trying Multiplayer anymore because of these two issues! Please do something!
1) Get rid of the choppy play!! I have a cable modem and still find it near impossible to find a game that runs smoothly!!! I dont care if you have to get rid of the voice, or limit the number of players a server can have for a specific bandwidth, but do something!! There is nothing worse than spending 30min just trying to find a decent game and not finding it!
2) Help target identification!!!!!!! Everybody is shooting the wrong team! Make the player models completely different! (dont just turn on the target identification from single player because this shows when someone is hidding in the bushes) I end up trying to identify by the weapon, but this is an inconsistent way of identifying the enemy!
I posted a question at a GR site asking peoples opinions about GR vs. OFP and I got many thoughtout intelligent responses. I was very happy with the thought people put into their responses, and everybody respected everybody elses opinions. This thread is outright sad. It feels like a Counter-Strike forum with all these incredibly immature posts!! (a great game, but permeated with children) The more I get involved in online forums the more I wish there was an age limit on who was allowed to post!

I totally realize that in the 'real world' you have to know where your own troops are. In the 'real world' this is accomplished via radio, command & control centers, transponders?, etc. This is a game, and without working radio communications (not everybody uses voice, thank god or there would be NO bandwidth) friendly fire happens all the time, and it makes multiplayer NO FUN!! (lets face it even with all the fancy technology in the 'real world' we still blow our own stuff up, and that is NO FUN)
The point of a game is to be FUN not 'real world'
