A good cutscene is bollocks if the mission is bad anyway. Once you have the mission outlined, spend time on perfecting it, then worry about cutscenes etc. I take it you're making a SP or Co-op mission? Often what makes a good mission is some intelligent AI action. Other than just standing around as the proverbial sitting ducks, the AI should react to what happens in the mission and in the surroundings. This extra work on waypoints and triggers pays off when playing the mission. And for gods sake, the objectives have to make sense. Sometimes you see obj1: Get some bread from the bakery, obj2: cut toenails, obj3: kill 50 enemy snipers, obj4: blow up an entire village; obj5:Repaint house... etc. You get the picture. The story of the mission should be realistic, as should the objectives. And they should be matched by whatever forces you plan to utilize. The PC's should be fitted to do the job, as in RL...or if they are not, the exscuse has to be pretty damn good...

I guess the point is: Who cares if you think you're the best? If you hang your coat on being the "best-flag-whatever/second-to-none-minelayer/best-cheater/drove-my-hmvv-like-none-others/seen-parts-of-Malden-only-a-few-of-you-have/bla-bla-bla-me-me-me etc." in Operation Flashpoint, what kind of selfesteem do you have in real life? Does this really mean so much to you??

Ideally this shouldn't happen, but that's the kind of bug that would be likely to show up. In real life you call for a medic right (unless you're shot in the mouth   ) In order for the medic to be aware that you are hurt, you have to shout, or your mates have to see you get hit. In OFP you can't call the medic's attention to another hurt soldier (unless you're co). And the medic doesn't actually hear you call out "2, Injured!" It goes via the commander. This is actually a flaw in the game (IMO), that you cannot yourself call the medic or call in help for wounded mate. I'm not sure I have a point with all this....

I love playing as MG, but the M60 is a beast!

In all honesty...sure King Kong is talking a lot of trash, but don't accuse him of crashing anything, unless you know for sure he did it. (sorry, but between the lines there was a strong smell of accusation) my 2cents If hacking's rocks his cradle, then don't encourage him. Getting all upset about the 'dirty'-talking only puts attention in a place where it shouldn't be.

I think the title for 4Ë stars should be <span style='color:red'>"OFP village idiot"</span> What do you think?

And most importantly: Will there be brothels?

Why not? They do it in all the old warmovies...

M21 for the zoom function... Perhaps the Dragunov packs a harder punch, I don't know. Is there any difference in the weapons besides the zoom?

I prefer a safe respawn area. Nothing worse than coming back to life, only to be capped while rearming. Man, that sucks. Usually the people who do that, are small egoes trying to obtain as many kills as possible. I don't mind the base raping though. If a team leaves their base unprotected, it's their own fault. The best players, or so it seems, are the ones that don't make a fuzz about themselves. In every aspect of life, if someone brags a lot, it will most likely turn out he's all mouth. If you're good and you know it, then keep that knowledge to yourself. People will find out when they play against you, and you'll automatically get the respect you deserve. Bragging doesn't give you respect, it only means you have a small d**k. The best players out there always give you a learning experience from observing their playing (if you can catch a glimpse). This is what i appreciate.

Well, I'd say that Red Hammer is not just difficult. I've finished a lot of missions on first or second attempt, and then some missions took me ages. So there's a huge variety in the difficulty. Many missions are bugged though. Yesterday, a sign saying "Game Logic 73m" appeared in my scope. No kidding! I was laughing my a** off, I can tell you that. But the variety and the storyline is great, and the missions are fun for sure. I don't know if they designed them this way on purpose (or if I'm just really lousy being in charge), but a lot of times I'm left standing all alone to clean up the mess. In the mission where you have to take out 2x2 shilkas (with the awesome artillery hitting the road), all my men were gone after the two first shilkas, so I went alone to take out the two that we're on the small peninsula. Thank God for sniper-rifles and LAW's !!!

I guess that this is opens up the old shitbag of CS teenies running amok and ruining this beautiful game. D*mn! I'd so hate to see that happen. On the other hand, working around the game code is how good MOD's are made, so with every cheat there's the prospect of it being used for something exiting, no?? P.S. Why the h*ll would you make a post going just "hmmm...."

So, Pete, how would you feel about toilet scenes, eating, sleeping, burying dead soldiers, cleaning your rifle etc.?? - -- ---

(S=Squad) Platoon (three squads) is moving in column formation. S1 is being first squad in column. S1 S2 S3 As platoon is getting closer to area where enemies are supposed to be platoon leader gives hand signal to change formation. S1 Â Â S2 Â Â Â Â S3 [snip] <span id='postcolor'> So how often in OFP have you been in this type of situation? How much time and attention would each individual soldier spend on observing the co's hand signals? I'm not talking about whether or not it could happen in real life, or if it would add realism to the game. I'm saying that from my experience with the game, I've never come across a situation where I thought "Hey, hand signals would come in handy here" (and I enjoy commanding a squad FYI). I have, on the other hand, Â experienced situations where a flamethrower would come in handy, or the ability to strike someone with bare fists, or dropping your LAW on the ground, or being able to swim, or using efficient cover fire, or calling in artillery, or hiding in a trench etc.

I have tryed these ones. -Get in a tank! there unstopable! myonly worst fear is another tank and antitank soldiers ,other than that I blow up tanks ,and soldiers! -hide in trees,and bushes,best way to hide especially when you're a sniper with extra camouflage. -prone all the time,I most of the prone while in combat,I never stand up ,anyone could see plus I sometimes I stick out my head and my gun out of a bush to shoot someone ,plsu proning is accurate on you're gun. <span id='postcolor'> Learn it by trial-and-error For example...you are wandering through the countryside one sunny afternoon, and suddenly you hear a shot ring out and a bullet hits the ground right in front of you. What do you do? a: Stay where you are and slowly scan the horizon in the direction you think the bullet came from. Remember; if your're standing on a ridge, you will have better vision of the area. b: Yell "Under fire!" and hope for someone to rescue you. c: Run towards the direction the bullet came from, shooting random sprays (while you run), until you are close enough for a handgrenade to do the dirty work. D: immediately zig-zag for nearest cover (tree, rock, building or vehicle), check your flanks, take quick peaks in the direction of enemy fire and move from cover to cover until you are in position to waste him. Check your ammo, compass, possibly map for covered routes to your target. E: immediately zig-zag for nearest cover (preferably a bush or tuft of grass), shot some bullets towards the direction of enemy, and then stay there looking straight ahead until something happens. Try it out, repeatedly, and see which ones get you  killed the most.

If you write a message to your squad/side/vehicle, they can 'read you'. That's not hard to do. If you're in a position where there's no time to write a message, a hand signal wouldn't be much use anyway. Or better yet...use the radio. It's easy once you learn the commands. I don't see anywhere in this game that handsignals would be of any use whatsoever. Please give some examples.

Wouldn't it be completely useless? The enemy can't hear your radio, can they? If I'm wrong...sue me.. If I'm right, hand signals would be a complete waste of time. You would have to look at the commanding officer all the time, which is not a good idea, since the 'numero uno' elementary rule in combat is to avoid tunnel vision. Why bother?? - -- ---

What the #### is this password fad. Every second server is password protected. As if it wasn't enough that you can waste an entire evening trying to play at least one good mp-game. God knows the hours spent waiting for some turds to leave the pool - or waiting for a game to end only to watch everybody go "gg" and then leave - or having one lousy hpb with a 486 and 12k modem spoil the whole game - or being surrounded by soldiers running on the spot due to some mysterious timewarp in the game - or once again going through the "finally-we-can-play-but-once-in-the-game-some-chopper-crashes-for-no-reason" blues... -or having to listen to some excommunicado argue with his old clan who's the biggest a**hole -or being shot in the back by a team-member -or wasting a good ctf because some d**khead ran off with the flag and joined the foreign legion. What's the fun in that I ask? -or screaming at some 12 year old who parked his t80 in the respawn zone and is happily killing everyone as they respawn. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY??? ...but now I'm even deprived of all those wonderful experiences. To all you morons with passwords. Give it up. There aren't enough decent servers out there for you to be all high and mighty and "ooh-our-cool-clan-has-to-train" or "we-only-play-with-other-people-from-the-same-country" or whatever the f**k reason you have. Whop-de-doo....then I found a server, only to learn they only had maps that served a max. of 12 players, and of course there were 15 other poor fools like myself in the pool. GET MORE MAPS YOU LOWLIFE PUNKS at ngi.it !! Lordy, then I found another server, but this only had huge 2_800 co-op missions with childish attempts to stuff all the fu**ing hardware they could find into a small battlefield. What gives? Thank you lord, I found another. Even in my own country. I logged on anticipating a game. But lo and behold, two morons had joined the server and then left for a night on the town, leaving me staring at their ghost names in the pool, waiting in vain for more to join so we could boot the bastards...but that never happened. I only want to play this game, which is so fun, is that too much to ask? MP is great under the right circumstances, and once you finish the campaigns, MP is the thing. I want it... sooo bad AAAAAAAAAAARGHHH. sigh!

Well, ok. I'll wil continue is english, so that you can read our conversation which is of no interest to you anyway... :-) Munkejens, I was not dissing the wkk server, just the two people blocking it at the time. The wkk server is one of my absolute favorites, as it is very stable. I dont have much time to play, so when a whole night went by without a single good mp game, I got so frustrated...

A couple of questions for Kegetys "Javelin" AT-weapon: Aside from the "wtf"'s of the first couple of times I fired it (not enough levitation for the missile to get off ground, result: missile hits ground in front of me...I die), I have been wondering if it is as imprecise as it seems. It appears to miss the target by a couple of yards all the time. I suppose it's modelled after the AAlauncher, which also couldn't hit a barn from the inside. Or is it me? The russian HeavyAT is great on the other hand. Takes out an Abrams with one hit, and then some... And the civilian "bomber"-Cessna is such a gem. So thanx for that Kegety. When will you add wound's to the Arctic soldiers??? I need to see blood...

I would so like to have a flamethrower. Is this compatible with the code in OFP? Could some of the programmers please consider making one. Imagine the mayhem. A bullet in the wrong place, and you go up in flames... Oh glory... - -- ---
