Breaker

can anyone tell me if this waypoint is useful and how can i make it work correctly? they say to use it with the "guard" one, but i think it's quite useless... maybe i'm mistakin something... plz help me out this simple mess

I was doing some testing these days and I found the followin: there are lot of new houses almost useless in-game because of the moltitude of bugs present. Many houses have useless gazebos, they dont' cover you from enemy fire (bullets are not stopped by the wood) and Ai sees you perfectly through the wood. Other houses are a pain to get in: I got stucked in tables and other objects one hundred time, sometime I've been teleported to the next room after a bad collision with an object located in another room. Another old problem never solved is that AI sees you perfectly through the smoke. This make the officer with smoke shells almost useless, they will see you and kill you also when there's so much smoke you can't even imagine they're behind it. Damn guys when are we goin to buy a clean product? (ok one or two bugs is comprehensible... but here we are goin a little too far) p.s. some of the houses are located in Velka Ves(nogova), where I made my experiment

The idea of picking up a granade and throwing it back is a hollywood idea. No one in RL would ever try it unless they didn't cherrish there hands/arms/face/well you get the drift.<span id='postcolor'> During the WW2 there was an italian elite force called "Arditi", they used to practice a very common joke to test their own skills. During lunch it was common to throw in the barracks where ppl ate one grenade to see who was enough brave (or fool) not to run away but to throw it out the window. Many ppl died tryin to catch the grenade or because they weren't quick leaving the room.

I'v red an interview made to Viktor Bocan in which he told how the new graphic improvements won't fit on the old islands of the game. So we're gonna get one new big island with a completely different graphic... is that right? Damn BI why can't you upgrade all the three islands? It doesnt' make too much sense to have 3 island with a "2001 graphic engine" and one island with a brand new one, does it? So please all the guys who wanna see all the 3 old islands restyled with the new graphics post here

Ok thx you all for answering

The new feature i saw in the video options is fully functional? I'm askin cause i tried to set it to the max witouth any result.

And that makes sense MJR. Gastovski, because Hellfires are AT missiles so you are not supposed to engage air target using them. So only chance is the machinegun (dont' worry it's the same for the Hind)

Another little thing, the HEAT ammo of the tanks create a giant crater on the ground, much greater than the sabot one. I created a little fight between a couple of infantry squads and a pair of M60 platoon: well no one for sure shot a single HEAT toward the infantry, all the field was filled with little SABOT craters... it's quite a shame.

Have you ever noticed that Ai never changes ammo engagin different targets? I've never seen tanks firing heat ammo on enemy infantry nor ai officers using smokes or ordering their men to load the mortar projectile when possible... What do you think about it? It's quite sad when a m1a1 tries to catch every single man in a formation with tons of sabot, instead of shootin a single an lethal heat projectile.

I tested all the stuff with the maximum skill level that is possible to set... I tried a lot also using the bmp2 because the difference among AP and HE is more visible since AP ammo doesnt' explode on the ground and I'm pretty sure that the BMP2 shot my men without usin HE projectiles

No I'm sure they dont' use heat... an heat fired from a t80 can take out 4 men in line formation with one single shot. The AI fires only sabots and you can tell it by the fact that they kill rarely more than 1/2 soldiers per shot. You can see it quite well also with bmp2: infact the heat shell makes a great cloud of dust and smoke and the AP doesn't. Try to put yourselfe under fire by a bmp2 and you'll see that he can only shoot AP at you.

Try here Operationflashpoint.it the server is not fast but it's stable.

Ok thx for the replies, I have winter kolgujev addon, maf addons and dynamic audio etc etc... but i tried also after i disinstalled them... maybe my config is just too much messed up... I'll try to reinstall all the thing

I noticed one thing the other day: on version 1.42-1.46 (I have no idea for earlier releases) cars, jeeps and uaz's don't collide no more. I mean if u drive an hmmv, a tank or a truck into a car, or a jeep/uaz, the collision system works properly. But if you have a car crash between a jeep and a car the two vehicles will just pass trhough one another. They'll receive damage the same, but this way it's possible to pass trough a roadblock witouth beeing stopped by any collision. Quite bad I think.

bump

Ok thx but I'd like to hear more impressions and opinions about it and I'd like to keep the topic alive as soon as Suma is gonna be back

I agree with gneed, I pressed the "thing" in the middle and my ofp copy was shot 2 meters away and felt on the floor breakin in two different parts... but I am a lucky guy and I had the "press copy" sent me by codemasters to be used as substitute. So definitively these new cd boxes are a load of s**t... I'm 25, I never finished the university and yes life is too difficult sometimes.

Ok, but what about Everquest for instance? They updated all the graphic engine with the last addon (Shadows of Luclin) but it's still playable also with those who didn't buy it. It's just a problem of the single computer, BI could try to manage it that way...

Really dunno guys... I mean... look at those trees !!!! the trees baby... I had a dream about those trees that were all around me and I caressed them, and talked to 'em and they were so gentle and nice and they were standing there lookin at me waving in the wind... ok I'm gettin insane but if you look the old trees and the old scenery... well gosh it's sad...

Can't they simply update the old libraries of the game in order to update the houses and trees? I wonder who's gonna play on the old islands after this new addon

Since I got the 1.4 the picture of Strela launcher in briefing is missing, i think the stars (for a very good job during a mission) are missing too. I don't use any unofficial addon so my installation is really clean. Any other ppl noticed that little thing?

You can find it here too Operationflashpoint.it
