allah? What sort of a directory name is that for pics of a game? I smell a mystery .

Good god thats ArmA screen as far as i know and a very decent one at that. No way lightning in OFP is THAT good. Thats awesome though , ive been dying to get lightning in OFP that way

What i was getting at was that they , the game devs have been constantly pulling the emotional strings involved in the whole WW2 scenario for selling games , its always usually like 'hey we fought here and this place was like this so we made it exactly like that brick by brick' .... well who cares i can take it if a few buildings are off the mark and if i dont get to read every guys personal history at that time aslong as i get good gameplay out of a GAME. I am looking for better ballistics system and physics handling for one in this title , you can sit all day and shoot at germans hiding behind crates but never hit them even if you can see there body parts and aim for it , because the game decides that they are 'behind' and you need to flank them as thats the ultimate move the game devs could think of putting in the game. P.S: Did anyone also see any med packs or something around? I found it difficult to get back up after being injured plus theres no medic? God i know what you mean, its like they prefer to make the games after the films (Saving private ryan, band of brothers, ect) than the actual events in most of these ww2 shooters. Â I dont even mind the games being done on the films sometimes such endeavours have been very acceptable and successful. However the problem with WW2 shooters is basically the emotional element is the one primarily under the focus of these game devs as they try to squeeze every ounce of the marketing element to sell the game from it rather then genuine gameplay. Its all about the characters in the game crying and getting all emotional then we got diary's and stuff , the whole games punctuated with such stuff , we never got it with OFP sure a few words now and then but none of the sort with which we have in WW2 shooters. If only they'd put these resources to making the GAME better and less of a movie/documentary/history lesson experience.

EXACTLY. You guys are way too negative, you need to take a game for what it is and not for what it isn't. I like BIA, i wish opflash had the squad control system it has (very simple yet flexible). You cannot compare to BIA to medal of honor or call of duty, because BIA is miles ahead in realism, cinematics and gameplay IMO. My only major gripe with the game is that there is a little too much weapon sway. Every game cannot be uber flashpoint on a 100km battlefield, but this game at least tries to be better than the rest. The game tries to be realistic, so there are no med packs or medics. Medics didn't push magic button and heal in reality, which is one of my gripes with flashpoint. I am not treating this title as some sort of a wannabe OFP title because it isnt. As for the medic part , so i take it that all of the realism in the game was simply redirected to the medic part instead of delivering it to other much needed sectors like ballistics. Also i am still wondering over this wisdom of totally leaving a medic out of the equation , if you have played Americas Army then you probably know of the medic system in it i think thats the most realistic one. It heals the person to the point that his injury doesnt get worse and stops at the amount of damage already taken , whats wrong with THAT? compared to a no medic at all system.

Well, as far as this genre goes BiA is possibly the most open-ended product on the market. Tells more about ww2 shooters than BiA itself though. Yeah i guess so but how is it open ended? The only thing open minded i saw in this was the new MP game modes. otherwise its just the same linear gameplay as CoD (go there kill that and yeah only follow THAT specific route , how dare you go through the level of yuor own accord ) , except they have documented and made their envoirnments very well , the locations are historically acurate but the gameplay sucks its too simple and too consolish.

Crap. Just more of the old stuff bundled again with a few minor enhancements. Sure they presented it really well but hey this isnt supposed to be a movie its a game.

April? I thought it was Q4 2005? April 2006 is just too far off. That would also probably push OFP2 back to Q3 2007 .

A : SFP 4.0

Now that is quite demanding, don't you think  A screenshot a week keeps the fans pleased .

Well just buy a new one and have it replaced. Also i would recommend you buy a PCI-E card/board and total PC upgrade when OFP2 comes round , by that time the PCI-E cards/tech would have also matured plus prices would be down a bit and hopefully nvidia and ati would have cleared this gap that they have created between their releases , right now Ati is one step behind which leaves one guessing as to how their equivalent cards would perform against nvidias hence that evil indecision delimma strikes again .

Doubt it, not when its been optimised primarily for the xbox  CoD 2 is also probably coming to X-Box and X-Box 360?

Disappointed , major league disappointement is what i felt. CoD itself the original one was such a good game for a 'run & gun' styled mil shooter i liked it. It was hollywoodish it was the total opposite of what OFP is to us but it had good graphics and little or no lag and was total fun. This one however somehow is somehow stuck between the transitions of mdoern day graphics (better lightning and models plus particle system) where it sucks basically. The textures on some of the things are AWEFUL and i do mean AWEFUL , they are blurry as crap i was expecting better. Then the models dont look anything to die for , all that this new lightning and bump mapping crap has done is ruin the games FPS for me , the old CoD ran like a beauty on even my old GF MX440 and CoD2 is lagging on my 6600GT ( ) , if thats all this crappy new gfx can bring then were better of withut them. It seems everytime someone fires a shot or dust blows up the fps starts stuttering. Plus they havent added reflection to the water for some reason? The game is a hap hazard of graphical features some added some not and result is poor clearly. I hope this doesnt means that ArmA will suck this much too since its graphics are upgraded to dx9 as well  .

Pardon me but BF2 graphics were very FUBAR'd up atleast on my gfx card they appeared messy and lagged like hell for no reason. That game failed on nearly ALL fronts graphics , gameplay everything. ArmA's graphics look fine and good enough and the if they hold back a bit of that eye candy for gameplay reasons i dont mind a bit.

dxdll water is bis original,it wont work with anything else, you just need to remove all the more_anim.pac (1 to 7) from your llaumax\newdata folder and rerun the .bat again. Thanks for replying bonko but i nevr had any more_anim.pac files in my newdata folder (checked both llaumax original and pappys h2o ones aswell even though the readme with it says it adds new water but it doesnt? so effectively i dont have any new water installed) but i still wanna use that dxdll included one ive seen it one some pics in the OFP:CP thread so how do i do that?

Another dxdll querie. How do i get to use that dxdll included dark water texture rather then having those silesians/llaumax water textures as i am using llaumax mod in OFP. Theres no option in the dxdll configurator itself.

Yeah just checked out ArmA website. Nice screens but i find those palm trees intriguing , is that the new island? if so is it a tropical one of middle eastern based one? Change in campaign storyline then perhaps?

Is that a ArmA screen? I havent seen it before is it new? Or are you using VBS1 screen? What is that tell me .

Want a medal dbr_onix?

Assault Armed? Its the other way round you see :P. No matter can be read anyway one wants to. Oh and please remove the whole Modern Combat thing , it just reeks of Battlefield and i hate that game .

Idea is nice but just isnt for OFP , better wait for ArmA and then see if it can be done properly. The current engine just pops its clogs when too many objects are around and fps drops to crap plus AI handling inside buildings is sh!t. From what i saw in the OFP:E videos on gamespot for Xbox the in-building clipping issue had seem resolved or decreased to a considerable extent , so i am keeping my fingers crossed on ArmA also having an improvement on this aspect.

Why are you cursing keygens? Did you like try one of those keygen serials or something those are like pirated and hacked serials they dont work online. Now if you have a legit serial then its something else amd u better contact sierra or your retailer for it.

Ok i got problems with DA mission as i said in the A&MC thread. I got all addons i double checked them myself and the missions boots me to the main menu after showing the intro , what gives? And i dont get any missing addon errors either which i get otherwise if i am missing something.

Where do we report bugs for the Delta force(heavy) DA mission? I have problems with it , i see the intro and after the A-10 bpmbs it says THE END and i get thrown to the main OFP screen?
