DSL is the best overall (other than a TRUE T1, T3 or OC3)... it is now outpacing cable 2:1 in growth due to it's non-shared network structure. Basically you get what you pay for...

PLEASE ADD LOGS!! This is probably the MOST needed feature at this point BIS! Servers are in the dark right now... we want to be able to see what people are doing (like firing multiple Law and RPG shots in a row and headshot percentages if possible) and do stats.

Dialup users play great on our servers... any game. Reason is because we have low latency connections. The main difference is Map/Mission download times. However... there is little difference between Cable (with 128k down) and a good Dialup connection to be honest.

Guaranteed the one with JIP would have the highest following. We run 10 different gaming servers and we know what goes and what doesn't. The ONLY reason OFP is doing so well right now is because of the Depth of the game... and the support of our Admins assigned to this game.

Mister Frag... if you want to you can get with me. We may actually be able to get something like this going. It would be a huge thing for the OFP communty. Our Servers could easily host this service/traffic. We have both Linux and 2000 servers available. So the main DB could be done on either platform.

I have mentioned this before. It is a solution of sorts... Allow people to join in on AI Slots. If a mission allows 32 people then allow it to be filled to that amount. Replace the AI slots with live people as they join. When they come into the lobby area if there are AI slots available then they have an option to join the battle in progress.

Play on a GOOD Server where Admins care about the quality of game play. On our server we do our best to make it fun. We encourage team play... and we get it.

Hmmm... this idea would work if you had a Global AND Local Ban list. ie. globalban.txt and localban.txt The globalban.txt gets updated by a newtork of servers and the localban.txt was done by the residing admins on each server. This way you have 2 types of bans... it is one thing to lose ability to play on one server and a completely different thing to lose rights around the world HEY! This is an AWESOME IDEA...

Tweaking programs for what? To change Latency issues? Sorry but there is no way to improve on Redundant OC3 connection unless you goto an OC48 or an OC192 and so forth... which by the way is what we are actually riding on just not utilizing No one running a OFP Server has anything close to FragHaus. Reason... FragHaus is run and owned by a large ISP that connects directly to a Major Fiber ring. (others may try but it won't happen unless UUnet themselves hosted a server which won't happen because they could careless about such and even then it would need to be near a main hub)

FragHaus is without a doubt the premier Server. 209.240.0.151

We run Redundant OC3's (OC3 = 155Mbps). The thing with OFP is the fact that it will never utilize more than approx 5Mbps with it's current Netcode. The ONLY advantage to having a larger connection is the fact that with the larger pipe your latency is usually reduced. OC3 is pure fiber and thus the next hop outside the internal netowrk is less than 8ms.

LOL... you are correct Drak. (laughs at Mal's performance on FragHaus)

This POLL is slanted towards NO... you need a more realistic POLL with the right questions. not: 1) YES I WOULD LOVE TO PAY AND GET RAPED... 2) YES I GUESS I WOULD LIKE IT... 3) NO BECAUSE IT WILL BRING IMMATURE KIDS TO THE GAME... 4) NO, JIP IS UNREALISTIC 5) No, I don't want JIP for other reasons If you are going to do a POLL do it straight up without your injection of why it is bad or good in the POLL questions. Heck even the fact that you have 2 Yes options and 3 No options makes the poll lopsided. Imagine if CNN did a Poll like this... wow. Do a Simple: 1) YES I want it... 2) No I do not want it... 3) Not sure if I want it... Looks to me like the person who put the POLL up doesn't want it. I would like to see JOIN IN PROGRESS (not JIP because that just sounds BAD) because it would allow longer less frustrating experiences. When someone comes in a server they could hop on the team that is unbalanced and take the spot of an AI... not just appear out of thin air... this is in no way unrealistic anymore than the game as whole itself. I mean do we have computer controlled men in battle (AI Soldiers)

Just wanted to say that we have added another server for COOP only. FragHaus has been so packed as of late this was needed. So now you have 2 choices at FragHaus CTF/DM or COOP. All our servers are running on Multiple OC3's... (an OC3 is equal to 3-T3's for those who do not know)

No the flags represent point secures. Ground gained. Since there are limitation to even OFP you have to have some way of doing this. Sorry but there is nothing wrong with destroy enemy vehicles... manned or unmanned.

Really... this game is based on realism. When at war do you say "Oh let's be fair and leave them some vehicles so they can have a chance"? NO and if you do you need your head examined.

I would have to say: [FragHaus] Morgan [FragHaus] Rage_Frost 5thSFG.Drak Black_Angel (aka FreakyBirdy) Hit_Sqd_Zulu are about the best out there. I hang with these guys and when we are on a team against others we litterally rape people. It's sick... Choppers, Tanks, Hand Weapons... it don't matter.

Actually... to get technical... sqm's are scripts... just in our localized terminolgy they are not considering scripts. sqs's are scripts. sqm's are mission files. Ok anyway... NEXT! :o

Speaking of it... has anyone tried to use LGB's for Arty? WHOA!!! Man what an explosion... to bad more than 10 and you get massive server laggage on MP Actually I made a Nuke type explosion using a script that places the bombs -1 under the ground. Shot off a Scud and in 30 secs... the whole place was a mess. Tanks flew over 2000 meters. Of course it had the impact of 100+ LGB's... haha

haha... atleast someone thinks I'm a HERO! :o

It has said that for MONTHS on their site. The fact is the guy doing Firedaemon has been sick (hospitalized) and he no longer returns my emails. So I am not sure if he is alright or not...

Guys drop the d*amn Cable already... They do not care about you or your business. All they want is your $$$$$$$$$$!

BIS... please if ANYONE is listening... We NEED more detailed LOGS for Dedicated Server Systems! We have utilized STAT systems for other games based on logging... we NEED this for OFP. OFP needs this to attract more gamers... it's true... our other servers that have STAT systems have return players that want to watch how they do against their buds. Please SUMA... BIS... whoever... please consider this in your next release! (Edited by BigQEd at 11:17 am on Dec. 13, 2001)

No chopper bugs WE STILL NEED LOGS BIS!!!
