I'm Welsh and I never thought I'd live to see the day an English "man" would admit what the rest of the cuntry already new. Good on ya "mate".

Thats a prety big car bomb dude.

@Tacrod I also get an 'error' while saving. Â It doesn't do anything bad though. When saving i get an error saying 'expected integer, got real number' (i'm at work at the moment, so can't experiment). I have just started using ecp again mind. CCE is working though. Â I'm able to save and load perfectly. My only grumble would be how bloody hard it is! Â I've played three campaigns and gotten my ass kicked all over Nogova!! Good work, this should keep me going for the two remaining months before ArmA is out.

@bravo 6 No, i think he means he doesn't have a more detailed map. @CsonkaPityu I think so too. But whats all this about 'only one island'?! I was under the impresion that all content from OFP was to be included. Â Is this no longer the case? Â Was this never the case? They could put them in as a kind of Easter egg, surely

What are you basing this on?

COOL!! ...doesn't look like there'll be any bridges on this one. ...check out the chock point joining the SW section to the rest! Nasty

...what happens when you leave the soldier model and go to a tanker? Is the soldier invincable? if he dies are we stuck with out him and unable to finish the mission? What if you die as the tank gunner? Will you respawn as the sniper? I don't like the idea of swapping roles in the field, (they might get dirty..) I do like the idea of swapping the character model durring play though. I had an idea to create a kind of RPG eliment;eg the player gains 'exp points' and gets promoted from rookie to private and eventually to an officer but couldn't do this in OFP. ArmA might solve my problem.

The change character feature is interesting. It will unarguably lower the realism of the game, possesing different bodies at will. The concept of being able to swap the players model does interest me greatly. As far as i know it can't be done in OFP (if any one does know how to change the players model in OFP please let me know). I voted number 2 (switch off) as there is no other "on the fence option".

I see...{sipping more Nescafe Cap Colombie}

Sounds like a good plan.;) In fact, i think thats the way i played OFP (exept the dying thing) and all and every other game i've ever played!

BIS didn't release this, then who did? Â And how did they get the footage? Â Surely it wasn't leaked as a publicity stunt and free advertisment? Is the release date of 1st June feasible? Will Codemaster release Operation:Flashpoint2 to coincide with this date? Can we expect to see a limited playable demo on the front of a magazine soon? Will ArmA make it to the Xbox360 before the PC? How do BIS stand with regards to the old OFP campaigns, as they represent OFP, don't Codemasters still have a hand in them? Isn't Armed Assault just a massive, official mod rather than a genuine sequel? Who am I? What time is it? Is Caffeine really bad for you? Â Â

Got it. Downloaded it. Downloaded DivX. Watched it. Loved it. Want it. And I refuse to wait two more months

I'm trying to play it on Media Player 10 but only sound is coming out and the silly 'Random' display.

Sorry, I have to post something or I'll lose the thread from my mailing list! I'm trying out the new CCE by Tacrod that incorporates the SOW saving script. Very nice work.

LOL Just a quick check: How many of us access this forum from work? I do for a start! Also I got the vid, but cant view it. Where can i get that codec from?

Pressing K swaps the characters...? Im not to keen on this idea. In the orignal game we did get to play as four diferent guys, all with different type missions. Maybe the 'swapping' thing is a simular thing. Play as the Sniper to take out other sharp shooters, allowing the Soldier to get in and eliminate the AT chaps and in turn allow the TankGunner to roll in a mop up. If thats the case then good...i think. If you allowed to swap at the beginning and only once. then thats good too. 1st June!!!?!?!??!!! Start saving boys, no way our current PC will run this monster!

@Tacrod Coin2 eh? I understand you wish it to be totally free, in that the player chooses his/her own missions. Â When, where and what to attack? Â Sounds fab. In fact sounds like something I wanted to try and set up but never got started on (not that i would have had a clue about it anyway! Â ). Â Good luck with that one, i'd be very happy to test that one out for you. @Malick Hmm...makes sence. Â You wouldn't need the setfuel command then either.

@Tacrod It was me that said that. I like the zero fuel idea, it wasn't a critisism. Â It's daft that choppers fly about the place when they shouldn't, and could result in it getting shot down by those Strela weilding blokes Baphomet keeps running into. I wonder if altering insertion_1's 'flyinheigh' could possible avoid it getting shot down...? Â The only problem then would be ejecting, but i doubt youd want to parajump from a blackhawk anyway! EDIT: @Tacrod; Where does CCE stand when Armed Assault comes out? Will we all abort all work on Flashpoint stuff? I know Mike Melvin (of CTI fame) is planning a version 2 for ArmA, but what about you and CoinCCE? I really like the concept of CCE, so we can't let it die....

I tried using the BAS Blackhawk and the fast rope. But, when the BAS blackhawks 'engine on' they play a sound, this is fine if the chopper then takes off. But CCE keeps setting the fuel to zero, and the chopper kept playuing and replaying the 'engine on' sound. So i opted for the original helo. Also I like the danger of being shot out the sky, adds reality. Do you risk rapid air insertion, or the slower APCs or the weeker 5ton...? All part of the game

LMAO I have got to try that out. I wonder if we'll get to play this mission again in ArmA.....? I wonder if the 'Ultra' guns will work in ArmA.....? If so then thats my goal

I enjoyed RedHammer too. While it was harder than the other two campaignes i always managed to rack up hugh kills (when you view the mission stats for past missions.) Also I can no longer play it, the cut scenes are are played at funny speeds and the last level, when you capture or kill the two officers, crashes to desktop every time get near them! Also, talking of other campaigns; When i was young and dumb, i actually bought (yes i paid money for) what i thought was an official expansion called 'Between the Lines'...Hard as nails it is. I still have not finished all three campaings. (in truth they're all a bit poo.)

This sounds interesting. Will you also be adding new mission types? EDIT: Also I just noticed this little fellow----> LOL {...ahem, back the subject at hand}

Given the complexity of DAC...I doubt it is practical. There is just so much information to collect. ... This is all theroretical, I haven't had the chance to implement SoW in CCE yet. I really hope I'm wrong, as CoIn2 is heavily based on DAC and I would love to be able to save all that information. Maybe it could be used to simply store the ammount of respawns left, or if the respawn camp has been destroyed. I agree, you more than likely cant stor the location of each unit, bu values such as material etc should be a doddle. This is exiting news for cce

Tried it & loved it! The respawn on the spot might be a nice touch...but this mapfact respawn is very nice indeed. The only thing is that if no one gets to you, you die for good!(some people might like this...). What would be good is to have players respawn at the base if the medic fails to reach them on time,

Very interesting. I guess that if you exit the mission, the data is lost? Also, could it be used to save DAC spawned units? (I'm currently very interested in DAC and am using it some missions for myself and a few friends who like the complete unpredictability of if )
