in general, i've found ALL forms of MP fine as long as there is no lag or cheating. coop hasnt been a favorite of mine : sure the comraderie and then 34573 kills and coordination is fun, but the missions are always plain and it gets boring knowing everything the enemy does! you know an AI will never bust out and rush you, and you know they wont sit behind a rock and peek out until they hear you and then jump out and BAM! coop gives people the theatrical feel of a warzone (thank you hollywood) and alot of people feel that killing useless AI is fun. cti/rts/etc i think are the most advanced gameplay scenarios in OFP! bases, locations, defensive/offensive strats vary with each team of humans, and you lose if you dont work with your own team. karrillions rts has always been more fun than cti, some poeple are just too proud tho. ctf is an OFP pastime for most MP players. close quarters battles and hot firefights werent originally intended for this game, but whether the oldies here can admit it or not - they're fun and popular. alot of people consider it 'unrealistic' without realising that it actually simulates a good deal of modern urban warfare - hasnt anyone heard of reinforcements? this talk about 'rambos' is untrue, in RL, if you're rambo, you'll shoot and kickass like rambo. same as ingame, but if you dont have the coordination and quick-thinking to do it, you are the person backing up rambo. only unorganized blind players lose to rambos! most people are too lazy to look in the most obvious (wide open) areas for an enemy. c&h style maps would seem like the ideal maps for ofp, right? i dont think so.. those who claim 'rambo' know how lame it is in a c&h - like bf2, people race for vehicles and go get killed quickly. .there's never any good coordination unless it's an experienced good clan together.. playing in groups of 4 or 5 to take areas i always had a blast doing, but randomly by yourself - forget it. im just excited for the new features and engine in arma.. imagine the more dynamic map scenarios we can have! this is my ideal map: there are two teams.. each team has like 3 starting points, but is given only ONE randomly at the start... then, they are given orders to assault/secure/defend a specific area, say you have 5 or 6 areas.. if each team is given an area at random, eventually they shall cross each other (whether one team is on guard or if both are moving to the same area).. randomness like that w/ unpredictable enemy movement is what i really search for.. thats why CTF is so popular in ofp.. i may not understand why people found my 'Corridor CTF' to be so much fun though.. since it forced two teams to funnel into one middle chamber and brutally massacre each other in the middle.. these are my thoughts (possibly biased because of my personal ofp history). haha, <3 bis

Armed Assault ( or ArAs ) is an ok name. It sounds generic but could attract the hordes of people who play mindless games like cs and sof2, then we cann convert them into uber ofp'ers. i hear people saying ofp1.5 is for cash... thats ok too... bis can sell an empty box for 10$ id buy it just to support them.. lol the game is all that matters to me ive been a member since may 2003 and i have 5 posts.. is that a record?

OFP has come a long way!!

Yo KaRR should I just hold off on making more mini-rts3's until theres a point i don't need to update like a mofo? like rts4 or somethin? I actually have some harsh work to do since i lost my hard drive to a virus... I WAS workin on a modern addon pack with things like the HTTV and the Buggy, IFV's and so on with a huge-ass config job but ALL MY WORK IS LOST! ======== Whenever i startup ofpwatch to download the addons for the server it doens't seem to let me download at all! Is your new ftp host at gamezone down or something? Me sad much yes.

No comments Tiny beta patches to stay 'up to date' The demand of modern AddOns VBS1 Hiding everything (with excuse) Ties with BIS, VBS1 and BAS An Official link A slight tip to the public A horde of people flocking in For the people = FUN For BIS/VBS1 = $$$ Something is screaming out to us, I'd say its an expansion. OFP2 has been announced to have three theatres, obviously this is not OFP2. VBS1 and BAS create modern weapons, VBS1 hired BAS men and VBS1 is stuck right in there with BIS. Since BAS is free they can seel a brand spanking new expansion to put OFP right back in the top slot. A simple expansion like this would definately stop me from giving a damn about 'Soldner: Secret Wars.' Who agrees? I love you BIS, I love you Marek, I love you all!

I'll put money on it that this is something of an expansion for OFP tied with VBS1! Think about it, VBS1 objects, BIS name all over it..... Dum dum dum dum *drum roll please*
