I am not a heavy FPS player. I mainly stick to RPG's. The first FPS I played was Doom, and of course Castle Wolfenstien. After Wolfenstein, I didnt play another FPS until Return to Castle Wolfenstein came out, and playing online was unreal due to the amount of bullets you could throw into some people before they died. I can understand headshots will kill faster than torso shots, but damn, 2 or 3 shots to the torso will kill most people. I kept playing though cause many of my friends played it. Then one day OFP came out and all the sudden, everyone was off the RTCW server and on OFP. The transition was quite rocky since I was used to eating full clips before dying. I got shot twice on Steal the car, thought I was cool, took 2 more steps and took a face-plant into the dirt. I'm thinking, "WOW, I cant wait to play this online. Its not gay like RTCW. Its realistic combat". And it only got better, because, lo and behold, I could look up OFP servers on All Seeing Eye, and I didnt have to put up with the gayspy bullshit to play online. I'm thinking, this is gonna kick ass. I can add all my buddies to the buddy list. I can make a favorites folder for OFP servers. I can filter between games. All the cool features of ASE worked for OFP. All of which really came in handy, because I was a major noob(ASE showed plenty of servers to switch to so I could jump server to server looking for people who sucked as much as me).
After the ease of ASE, I will not go through the gayspy bullshit. OFP SP was ok. After a few missions, I was ready to do MP. SP was just something to do when bored, and I have yet to finish SP due to the better gaming online. Should I buy OFP:R, it would be for the MP aspect only. If I have to use gamespy in any form to play online, I will not purchase OFP:R. I'm sorry my first post here had to be on this subject, but I'd sure like to know what bis was thinkin.
