Title: Operation Flashpoint
Post by: Twin Blades on March 28, 2004, 10:27:41 pm

Just wondering if any/many of you gamers out there still play this game. I am slowly getting back into it and am concidering creating a Vietnam campaign with the main goal of this creation would be various multiplayer types. If and when this is done, I would like to get testers in too. So if any are interested, just say so.

Peace!

;)

Heheh. I bought the GOTY Edition last year. It killed my pootar. So I haven't played it properly yet. I'll be building a new machine as soon as I get my tax rebate (£1000 and rising), then I'll play it.

Oh, and I heard a rumour that OFP2 was going to be set in Vietnam. Gawd knows where I got that from (probably someone on here!), so don't take it as gospel. :)

Op2 is set in the Vietnam era - I'm 99% sure of that.  No confirmation on the actual setting/s, AFAIK.

i have been playing the red-hammer campaign as of late...
which has one minor gripe, altho they're good guns and all. the H&K G36 assualt rifle did not exist in that period of time. ('cause some US troops in that were using them)

Yeah, that bothered me a bit.

Also, can anyone remember if there are T-80s in Resistance? If there are, then that's another anachronism.

I haven't read anything on OF2, there are just so many games a person can play... lol. If it is a Vietnam setting, great for them but I might still try my hand at it in the 1st one. :)

Flashpoint is okay but I always found the guns vague to aim and the controls a little clumsey.

I think that was the idea as far as the weapons and physics go.

:rolleyes:

Flashpoint + Res + all the addons (BAS) + FDF Mod = The Exxxtreme Greatness

And if you have an ATi card, extreme memory map errors. :(

Maby OFP doesn't like some of the settings done in the ATI control Pannel.
