Vietnam, China, Indonesia!?!? I think a lot of people around here don´t understand BIS too well. BIS is a Czech company, and what was their last game like? A small country, Nogova, is invaded by the evil Soviet union and is basically left to fend for itself and forms a resistance movement. Also, Nogova seems distinctly Czech (petrovice, velka ves etc.). Not saying that they can´t do anything that isn´t related to Europe or the Czech Republic, but specifically, WHY would they want to do a Vietnam game!? The U.S isn´t the ONLY country that has ever gone to war! In OFP, NATO (read:U.S) was the only power that could defeat the evil Soviet Union that the Czechs hate(d) so much. Let the Americans do their own games about their own conflicts, the Czechs could just as well do an "Afghanistan in the 80s" conflict. BIS Australia have a lot more to do with Asia, and they´re making a game where the ADF is involved in East Timor. Anyway, all this is IMO and not in any way absolute truth I wouldn´t want anyone to take this too seriously, just theories. I´d much rather have a fictious conflict, everything is much more dynamic and neutral that way. But I´m sure BIS have made their mind up some time ago, so any speculation is useless.

Heh heh looks like BIS/Codemasters have learned a bit about marketing, look how they´ve got you all riled up with their sneaky antics

Anyway, the helo is pretty nice but IMO it isn´t holy-shit-amazing-best-addon-ever, I think people only say that because it´s BAS. But it´s still a good addon. A few things: - The downwash doesn´t work automatically for me, only in the demo mission. Is it supposed to work by default? - The .50 cal sounds weak, and the helo uses crappy ole BIS sounds. - Maybe you could use some smoke effects when you launch hellfires and rockets? Also, empty shell casings from the .50 would be nice. Don´t know how the weapons really work, so correct me if I´m wrong.

If this can be solved the idea could work.<span id='postcolor'> Hmm, I didn´t take that into consideration. Maybe the 4th crew member could be in a group of his own, if that´s possible? And Sigma-6, are you making new BMP´s and finishing the t72s and t80s besides making the M1´s? You seem like a pretty busy guy

Since the OFP engine doesn´t support a loader(just as well, really) like the real M1 has, maybe someone could make 1 cargo position besides the 3 crew members? The M1 would then have 3 crew + 1 crew in cargo as default. When you´re the gunner or commander(can´t remember which) in the BIS M1A1 and look to your left, you can see an empty space and a shell rack. Just put a guy in cargo there And a M2 on the roof would be nice.

Now it´s certain that there´s going to be a war. Bush is going to declare war in a few hours. I hate him. God help Iraq. God help us all. Goddamn, I´m so depressed.

Man, this is so depressing... OFP is now officially dead to BIS. The user addons will keep it going until 2004, but this is the beginning of the end! THE END, I TELL YOU! Still, OFP has come a loooooong way since 1.00. Did anyone notice that OFP xbox has an ofp 1-and-a-half engine? I don´t have an xbox! This day had to come, but if they´d just fixed the autofire sound bug...oh, well. Damn.

Great that someone´s doing a proper pack (mailman´s pack is buggy), but the textures on the PK look a bit unnatural. Are you going to make the ammo belt move as you fire?

I´ts the same kind of people who don´t vote, they just don´t get it.

I just thought about something that´s really bugging me about the effect of American products here in Finland. Everyone just wants to ape Americans, even if some of the things they do are just so bloody stupid (I´m not flaming America, just my own stupid people)! The emperor has no clothes! A lot of people at my university and a lot of kids wear clothes with AMERICAN flags on them! They don´t have a sense of nationality, they just consumeconsumeconsume and buy anything that America throws at them. Big macs, movies, clothes, you name it! If someone´s wearing clothes with American motifs, it just makes me want to go up and slap ´em! Why don´t you wear a Finnish flag, jackass!? And people just want to celebrate Halloween more and more, with pumpkins, costumes etc. completely forgetting our OWN, respectful, quiet holiday of honoring the dead. Can´t blame Americans for doing business, just the stupid Finns who are being brainwashed I can imagine that this is a very common phenomenon. Whew, glad to get that rant off my chest

Oops, I meant that the Hind doesn´t have a nose-mounted, rotating 30mm. But isn´t the Hind-E still the most common version? Going OT here, let´s wrap all this Hind business up now.

This would balance the game since the Hind can carry troops and has twice as much rockets as the American choppers. -57mm rockets shouln´t explode like some g**damn nukes! -The AT6 should be more accurate and it should have its Russian name instead of its NATO designation AT6. Applies to all Russian equipment, like the Mi-17 should have its Russian designation Mi-8MT or something similiar. -The V-80 should shake less. -The Mi-17´s nosegun should work, and maybe the third rocket pods should be removed for balance. Correct me if I´m wrong about anything! That´s all I can think of Â

I can't see them releasing a half-arse game.<span id='postcolor'> It's a great, groundbreaking game that changed tactical gaming forever, but it's also full of bugs and incomplete features that turn off a great deal of gamers. You cannot deny this. But saying the ground detail is the worst problem gives this guy away as a troll. If he was real OFP player, he'd know that the real problems are the clipping bugs, no join-in-progress multiplayer, lack of addon management, all the weird "works only on a full moon" scripting issues and the overall weapons balance. I think BIS is working on these things and isn't going to disappoint us, so we just have to wait.<span id='postcolor'> Well said. And don´t forget general inaccuracies in almost every unit and piece of equipment! Plus wierd AI. But honestly don´t think BIS are working on the problems, if they thought they were important they would have fixed them looong ago. Except the addon management, Suma or Maruk mentioned that they were planning this (along with shaders). The graphics engine is just fine.

Nice site, guys. Looks very professional.
