Evolution of fixed AT weapons; or rather the breath of mobility put into AT weapons that we're once thought unfathomable or inefficient - recoiless rifles, rocket propelled arty, self proppeled arty, the huge leap forward in targeting systems for CAS, the development of rotary winged aircraft with heat seaking missiles, the engagement distances for MBT's; again due to developments in targeting technology. The tank destroyer hasn't died, it was just a static anti-tank cannon on tracks anyway - its just evolved into those listed above - in the same way fixed anti-tank weapons evolved into the tank destroyer. Technology has rendered the use of the "classical" TD uneconomical, and certaintly inefficient. The evolution of warfare in the last century, from static to fluid to fully-mobile has rendered its use obsolete.

I like to have a good graphical quality and preformance for the game.Multitexturing-What does it actually do???
Terrain detail-Is everything below normal good to play on?
Cheers
Multi-texturing is purely cosmetic, and makes a huge improvement in the quality of the ground textures.
Terrain detail on the other hand is much more, and in my opinion high terrain detail makes the game not only look much better, but also much more immersive. However the AI can struggle and vehicles, particuarly tanks can have problems on hills.

The demo is the full game with a three hour time limit on it. Overall, I like the improvements but I hate going back to the unmodded version of the game - it's like playing the unmodded version of OFP after you've played FFUR or the Finmod versions. I also preordered my copy, wish they'd just give me the activation code to unlock the demo. Make things so much easier.What mods are you playing with? From what I've seen HSR seems to be the most robust, but the changes to combat and its mechanics are sometimes just too much for me, especially with amphibious assaults.
We play it here on a LAN alot, but its often plagued with strange bugs (techs and divisions vanishing due to lag), I really hope this is something Paradox have improved upon in DD, as its quite simply the best RTS to date.

*Work in Progress*
Once this list is completed, it will feature full, comprehensive biographies of each league, contact information for the leagues and its dependants, and links to the forum profiles of its admins here at the bis forums.
Here is a definitive list of every tournament, league, cup and ladder tournament available, as of this date for Operation Flashpoint.

I'm your typical Sagittarius; true, lucky and mostly optimistic. I also say the darnest things faster than I think, so I probably have my own share of grudge bearers (they wouldn't tell me of course). I'm good-looking and have brown hair and brown-green eyes, so look me up if you're interested!
I've played OFP since its release and during the years I've learned some interesting stuff. I was the leader of SVS and BoP clans and right now I'm just trying to take it easy. I was asked to make maps in OW apparently because the staff was lazy and they liked my crazy deathmatches. I'm not one to make maps from scratch, but I'm also not afraid to heavily modify and implement stuff in them. My current showcases are the Tequila Slammer and Lil E tournament maps. I dare you to find bugs in them!

ECL, as it is known throughout the community, is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, flashpoint league in existence to this date. Mixing a strong, friendly community spirit, with an ultra-competitive atmosphere, with its own addon pack of the best 3rd party addons, its the place to be.
_

TNT, as its known in the community, is the "gamers" league. Fast maps, fast kills and fast skills. Focusing on tight, concentrated infantry maps, TNT remains the place to be if you need to show off your fragging skills, remaining one of the most competitive leagues in OFP since its formation in 2003.
___

CZL, as its been known since its formation in the early days of Flashpoint Resistance is renowned for its well run tournaments, including being one of only a few tournaments to have commercial sponsership; coming from Clanzone of Austria.

Quote[/b] ]2002:  Sponse (DFA-CLAN) and Gravedigger (SCR-CLAN) come together to created an own OPF Ladder.      Starting the concept, and creating a Staff Team.
      In Summer 2002 we got a Graphicspezialist Radiant (from DFA) and a Mapmaker
      Notorious (MCY) to completed our Staff.
2003: Â The first CZL Website goes online, and we got a great Sponsor with Clanzone.at
            Summer 2003 First CZL Mappack is finished and we have started an 2on2 and a Teamevent.
      CZL holded now 30 2on2 Teams and 18 Clans.
      End of Season 2003 BoP Clan was the winner of the Team Ladder infront of MCY
2004: Â CZL start the first OFP PRO Event !!! First times a Clan can win a Server for free,
      We had a bunch of TOP TEAMS, like MCY, BOP, SBS, TPC, CSF, NPE, ETA, NBA, WKK, AKF, ETC and some others. This Event was running over 8 Mounths and used a full scheduled Matchsystem. In mid of November MCY was the Winner of the first Champions-League infront of BOP and SBS.
      Also we played a 2on2 and 1on1 Ladder wich was won by Snake Shit (1on1). Our 1on1 Event based on an full auto generated Combatzone based on a amazing script from Oberst Nedal.
2005: Â 2nd Season of the Championsleague was starting but we stopped it in June 2005 about the hole Cheat Problems …..because noone of our Teams was happy to play at this Time;..and most of the Teams has quit OFP;this was a very bad time in this moment and we all was waiting for Armed Assault.
      After few Months CZL was reopend by Walkman and Wiking from AKF after I have give them my ok for it.
2006: Â After some Trouble about leaving Teams, and some problems with our Sponsor, I have takeover the Management from CZL and have finshed the Champions-League Season 3. Wich are now running to the final Games in our CZL Playoff, were we used the first time a double knockout system ! And CZL will spend a prize for the Winner of this Years Season.
At this Moment we are working on an Nation Cup and we also working on a new thing for maybe the last OFP Season or maybe for the first ArmA League.
regards
CZL STAFF and Management

Links and ladders are currently being updated - if you run, or know of an Operation flashpoint tournament, no matter how small or large and feel its been over-looked please pm me and allow me to add it to the list.
- Image server is down at the moment, should be back up shortly -

I played OFP with Warpig many times in the past and cannot believe he has gone. Condolences to his family the USMC and 1-8th, the guy was a legend.

That's odd. Ten minutes ago, the forum main page showed Placebo's birthday as being today (wednesday). Now it doesn't. Maybe he's shy and removed his b/day from his profile. Bless!
Day changed.
Happy birthday Paul.

FIFA is carpYes. Yes it is.
Will wait for the PS2 version of PES5 tho, much more suited to the tv screen.

This dedicated server thing has always been a mistery to me! Â
isnt a dedicated Server something realy expensive that you need to rent for about 100$ per month?
Yes and no, a dedicated server is just a PC that is used solely to one task, i.e. running OFP remotley as a server. This can be done by renting a server from a company or setting up that old P3 900 that you don't use anymore to do it for you.

TKC website already down due to traffic missuse afaik. Â

Doom3 remains untouchedPardon?
-
The demo looked promising, from what I could tell there was multiple routes to your objective and the AI was scaryingly accurate and smart. The demo had real atmosphere too, being eearily scary, rather than the spawn a monster behind you doom 3 technique. Will definetley be picking this one up on release.
-
I'll be buying it, no lag issues until I tried to turn physics onto high, game became unplayable then. Definetley buying it.

There appears to be a bug of some sort, the posts aren't following in chronological order, with the first post after the last post if you follow me.
-
I remember watching the first series as a kid, besides "Paint it Black" I can't remember anything else about it.
-
How you do that?Options?
Yes, just in-game sound options.
-
Most players have their radio on mute anyhow, so the majority of people cannot hear the soundfile.
-
It's probably not a good idea, it all depends on the server load at the time. Number of players, type of map etc. It probably wouldn't be noticeable in a 8 player coop, but a CTI game and it would slow to a crawl.

Longest game online?
in MULTIPLAYER

There was an EFL match that lasted some 10 hours, between DK and SS. It wasn't long after the rekease of resistance and was on a ctf map that involved two islands seperated by a narrow strip of water. Due to sudden-death, first flag wins, the game lasted some time, and due to the tide it became impossible for either side to cross the strait, after much waiting the tide receded again and dk was able to snatch a flag.
I'll find some screenshots.
