    It is already stated that there will be no mod support. Because it's a console game and mods could drive away DLC sales.

    Source? Quote? I remember having heard something similar, though, iirc, it has only been something like "there will no modding tools be released with the game".

    Any-how, that's how rumours emerge - one reads "No modding tools are shipped on release" in an interview, the next only remembers "no modding tools" and then comes along Leopardi, claiming that OFP/DR will not support mods at all...

    If the above doesn't make any sense to you, then you shouldn't be discussing in threads such as this, since the public has no guts whatsoever for what is true.

    Edit: an obvious truth is that the public, in the western world at least, votes themselves the feel-good state of affairs, truth matters not. Nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care, till unemployment in times like this rises to one forth of the working peasants.

    I think you got stuck in the wrong place here. Full-heartedly fairly some would agree (provided that you could put a little more structure into your thoughts) and take it even far beyond, but guess what, this is the public just who you are speaking to through these forums - please remain proportionately shallow for we like shooting people up on a 24" :bounce3:

    cjsoques, point taken. But I want to remind you that it's probably not just me who takes statements such as "this is pathetic" and "this is a step backwards/reduces quality" as claiming objectivity. But it's clear now. Well, I too naturally don't want to wait one hour to join a game, lol :D I rather expect to join the next and most filled server which is currently lobbying.

    You obviously didn't bother to read two pages before where someone clearly posted a summary to a preview with the external link...source validated

    I assumed I didn't have to put the whole quite in there and just quoted the snipping assuming that people reading this forum would have at least read the last two pages in this thread...oh well I assumed wrong.

    No need to feel offended, mate. I'm following this thread successively and may not always have the latest pages in mind thus clearly.

    Yes, it has been confirmed on the official forums, too. But it's again one of these "what ArmA-boy is not aquainted with from ArmA, ArmA-boy hates"-like phenomena (I'm thereby not calling you an "ArmA-boy", just in case...) that you call it pathetic and a "step backwards".

    Some people - and yes, this time I'm including you - still appear not to have understood the concept of opinions. You know, those things that everybody seems to have.

    You should refrain from calling out "pathetic", "reduce quality", "watered down" or alike all because you personally dislike it, dearest fellow member. Realize that it's matter of taste what one likes or dislikes.

    To provide you the most obvious instance, the people who have decided to put that in don't deem it "pathetic" and a "loss of quality" and so do others. You dissent - feel free to do so, but respect other people's opinions for what they are.

    I, for my part, am fine with both - no JiP and JiP. Where latters allows for more dynamics on a server as for joins and parts, the former is well suited to prevent a clutter of players and join/parts. It also repels the kind of gamer who quickly joins a session to cause a mess and leave when getting bored - yes, that's what I've experienced over and over again on ArmA's public servers.

    I'm not going to argue on the benefits of this decision because I think if you put a little thought into the whole situation, you will see them yourself. I've always been happy with how America's Army did it and although OFP/DR is a different type of game, both is possible, for any game.

    Edit: I'm aware of the major disadvantages, too.

    Have Codemasters even confirmed MP other than coop? I haven't seen it and/or can't remember it.

    Yes, see the new wesbite, it gives info there. I misunderstood the meaning of JiP. I think no JiP in terms of Americas Army is fine and don't know why this would be considered a limitation. It's just different from ArmA.

    I think it's a waste of money. No bullshit, but I think if you can spare money for a separate screen to display harware specs, you must have too much of it. But I'm curious how the thing performs, so let us know. USB 2.0 provides maximum 2.5 Watt as by the specs - I wonder how an LCD can possibly feed on that. And by the way I wonder what will be the additional load on your GPU. It must require your GPU to render the screen too, which I think chips are far from being optimized for. Please let us know how much your framerate drops (if it does) when you use the screen.

    I'm not anti-OFP:DR but the fact is the entire OFP:DR forums are nothing more than sheer speculation, the product of CodeMasters imparting nothing but sales pitch to anybody about anything.

    ":D" Firstly, your observation is not totally off but certainly not correct either. There is a lot of speculation on the Codemasters forums the main cause of which are threads like "Will ... be in the game?" by newcommers, admitted.

    However, that's just one aspect of the whole and again, you, by your comment which just accounts for a specific part of an issue, very much portray the overall unobjective attitude of this thread and its posters.

    Codemasters' OFP/DR forums, despite all the speculation which is inevitable on a forum of a not-yet-released game, serve as a place for feedback to the team developing the game, for suggestions and stating wishes, trading information about the game and, of course, small talk. Now, if this was a normal discussion with normally thinking people, I'd stop argueing here, but judging from the past 270+ pages, I reckon I wont be left alone, my post teared to flakes, rather, unless I literally quote some of the threads (mind, all from the first page of the GD section), which are "more than sheer speculation" (in contrary to the greater part of this thread):

    Favorite Weapon / OFP-DR weapon

    Your Most exciting list and least exciting list bout OPFDR

    New Preview from Switzerland – a lot of new info !

    HUD - tether indicator symbol/ circle, intrusive ?

    what do you wanna drive or pilot most

    shooting things out of the sky looks crap

    What will you be playing as most..?

    I think the difference to the direction this thread has is more than obvious

    Second, I havn't visited the ArmA 2 Section - neither up to now, nor before ArmA 2 was released - but you may have. So I'm asking you: What are forums for an unreleased videogame usually like? I'm not much into videogames and online communities, but I've experienced two for the time being, and the Codemasters OFP/DR are, compared to the other, very much productive, active and community-driven.

    I wonder what will happen to this thread once the game is released... :D The past 272 pages, really, are the product of sheer speculation. Where will you direct all your anger at once there is no more "academic speculation" on "will it be more or less realistic than ArmA2", "will the textures in the final version live up to the expectations" and "Feature ... is not in the game - or is it?!"? A thread on OFP3, may be? :D Come, join us at the Codemasters forums, we are one step ahead of you over there - having already started on a thread about Arrowhead and bashing the crap out of it! It's real fun, the genuine Operation Flashpoint Community is way better at that - 512 pages - we have successfully spread rumours that BIS employees are being sacrified for the triumph of Arrowhead already!

    :D of course I'm just kidding

    A month :bounce3: Haha, ok I think it looks quite nice and modest, almost a little simplistic. However, I'd remove the shadow drop on the arrows and the beven on them - they appear just not to fit in.

    You may want to add a gradient-like, slightly diagonal glossy shine to the arrows (?!) ! :)

    The stereotype is that nerds are nerdy, which is an overspecific kind of knowledge. Nerds are the little intelligent and certainly among the least intellectual people of our society. A nerd is uncapable of expressing himself, even if he's given all time in the world to phrase his thoughts in written language. A nerd has nothing of globally relevant knowledge and thinks he knows it all. A nerd is the class of least conducive element a developed society can bear. He's the kind overcivilized entity, who has lost even the last relation to reality.

    A nerd makes up a wrong word in nescience and so do a thousand other nerds. Since the internet is filled with nerds, you'll find a thousand instances of the word on google. Congratulations.

    You think if a word is used often enough it becomes eligible? Well then, consider "moddable" an official word of nerd-vocabulary, but not of the vocabulary of normal people.

    Honestly I don't think it's that hard to do that, given that you can hold the thing and its massive weight like that in your two hands. The recoil goes - as momentum - mainly back into the body of the weapon and is thus not that hard for the "holder" to handle. Might be wrong tho - I've never fired such a thing. I agree it looks insane, tho :D
