Hmmmm....IIRC then OFP was published under the umbrella of both BIS and Codemasters and it turned out to be a hell of a war sim. Then everybody talked bad about Codemasters, BIS and Codemasters parted and BIS alone made a new OFP game and that seems to suck or at least disappoint as a war sim. Well, I'm really curious about that new OFP game by Codemasters... Grim

Amen brother, nothing left to say Grim

I had no problems in OpFlash: Elite with moving, shooting etc. but let's see who makes the better Flashpoint Game for the 360 - BI or Codemasters. I will buy both games anyway Grim :

If you actually get used to the controller there's no problem with surviving these battles Grim

You seem to ignore the simple fact that there are gamers who don't consider a PC a 'suitable platform' for gaming in general. I don't want to sit in front of a monitor with a mouse and keyboard to play my games. I consider it much more fun to sit in my easy chair in front of my 81cm HDTV. Grim

I remember that the R6 games I played on the Dreamcast were not arcadish crap, yeah on the Dreamcast, that wonderful console Grim

Get a demo on Xbox Live and everyone will take a look. I'm glad that both Codemasters and BI will publish an Op Flash game for the 360 - there are so many killer games in the pipeline but to have two Op Flash games in 2008n makes having a 360 the best thing ever Grim

Well, I'm an OFP: Elite player (never played OFP on PC) and what you describe here is already working in OFP: Elite. Since your post seems to suggest this is a new feature for ArmA does this actually mean such basics were not working in OFP for PC? Or do I understand something wrong here? Cheers, Grim

Hi folks, I know that the Gold Edition of the PC game has the Official Prima Strategy Guide included as a pdf. Would anybody who has this guide be so kind to send it over to me? My email address is GrimnirssonATweb.de Thanks for your help, Grimnirsson

I don't think you are a bastard and I know this copyright issue/getting things for free from the Advanced Squad Leader community. Let me explain what my point is: I am no PC gamer and I am having three consoles to play around. But my real hobby is historical conflict simulation (Consims), that means I am one of those freaks who like to play hex n' counter games on historical topics, mostly WWII, but other times as well with big maps and hundreds or thousands of little counters ...perhaps some names are known to you: World in Flames, ASL, Totaler Krieg, A House Divided etc.. I am also running with my wife the biggest german website with information on this special hobby (www.homefrontclub.de). We waited for three years that OPF would come to the Xbox and now it's done and we are more than pleased with the result, this game being the BEST experience I ever had on any console. This is a true consim on screen so to say and we want to help this game to get the audience it deserves. Most console players here in Germany think and say that this game simply sucks, because of the graphics and because they have no idea what is going on around them, they don't understand how this sim game works and lose any interest and this frustration leads to further bad comments on this little gem. That's something we want to change as far as we can do that and therefore we plan to make an extensive OPF:Elite guide for the german players. This will be available for free of course (as all of our player aids, articles, information etc. on our website) just to help folks willing to take some time to learn and play this game. But before we can do that we have to see what guides are available and how they address things. I am surfing the web with OPF related stuff at the moment just to get a better picture about this situation and the Prima Strategy guide is part of this information. Perhaps its not worth a dime but I have to see that for myself to consider possible solutions to an even better guide. If you don't want to send it over, ok, no problem, but perhaps someone is willing to help with this - because we plan to help this game in Germany the best we can, for free.... Hope you understand my question a bit better now. Good gaming, Grimnirsson

Gheez...I can buy the Gold Edition for 1 EUR on ebay, but I don't play the PC version and would simply have a game unused on the shelf just for taking a look at the little guide. I bought the Elite Version for Xbox and it is not my fault that the manual included therein gives almost no essential information. Burning the game to play it is one thing, asking for the guide something different. There's so much available for free on the web for this game when you play it on the PC and nothing for the Xbox version and the Elite version is MUCH more expensive than the PC game, so I don't see any problems with my asking for the guide.
