OFP2 gameplay - shitshitshit

[poocolator]

Maybe mods will make the game good? Or is modding left out, with the developers having decided 12 year-olds can't script?

 

[baronjohn]

Yeah, im having massive fun in this retarded game playing with retarded coop community full of morons or in any public server full of totaly nice retards

hook up your balls to the mains.

massive fun.

With ARMA 2 being a boring buggy piece of shit and OFP 2 turning into a fucking travesty is there anything worthwhile in the genre of military sims left?

OFP 2 is not a military sim, and "boring buggy piece of shit" is just your opinion, queen of faggotry.

Yeah, we all get it by now. You're a butthurt rabid fanboy who starts frothing at the mouth whenever someone questions the perfection of his beloved ARMA. Goddamn, you're to ARMA what Hamster is to Russia.

 

[xuerebx]

Actually the game looks good, though I've only just began playing OFP, and everyone is saying ArmA2 is OFP's real spiritual successor, if only it was less bugged.

And yeah, if anyone believes there's a correlation between IQ and games then it's a laughable matter.

People playing halo 3 are smarter than people playing ofp?

Are you serious?

I guess I'm smarter than my cousin for playing RPGs yet he plays Gears of War and every other FPS out there, doesn't matter he's a qualified doctor and is currently specialising in something (forgot what).

No, it just depends whether you think games should be deep and complex or they're just there to pass some time between work and sleep. I prefer the former, but that's just boring me.

I have to say, this reminds me a lot of what Bethesda did to the Fallout franchise.

We all hated FO3 mostly because of the use (and subsequent tarnishing) of the Fallout name. If it had been called somthing else, I suspect we would have hated it a lot less (but hated it never the less - for we are the codex :D ).

Having said that, taken as a game (ARPG/Shooter hybrid) in it's own right, FO3 wasn't too bad at all, for it's target audience. From what I've seen in the previews, the same applies to OFP2. No, it's not OFP or ArmA for that matter. It's more like a more open, sandboxy Brothers in Arms with a modern setting. As such, again it could be a lot of fun if approached that way. Certainly looks better to me as an FPS than BF2 or COD4, especially for multiplayer.

I bet all crappy stuff will be hardcoded into the engine like the lack of recoil or a bad damage system (medkits kinda mean that there will be no medics), so even if by some miracle a talented modder would've decided to mess with OFP2 - he won't fix the gameplay which is bad even for an average shooter (I want an AI that didn't just graduate from the stormtrooper school)

 

[Data4]

If there are hard coded features that can't be altered by modders, it has nothing to do with 12 year-olds who can't script. It's all about the DLC, baby. I'm afraid the days of anything other than superficial mods are coming to a close-- for any game series that was once completely moddable.

Welcome to the future, gentlemen.

If you want aimbots you can always play ArmA.

 

[L'ennui]

ArmA 2 is apparently much less aimbot-ish. But yes, sometimes it's very blatant in the first.

EDIT: Even so, ArmA 1>OFP2 probably.

 

[baronjohn]

No, they're still suicidally aggressive braindead aimbots.

 

[L'ennui]

Oh well, so much for that.

OFP <3

The AI is pretty much the best you can get, especially after the latest patch where some critical bugs were fixed. Though it was pretty good from the start despite seeing to much and much better than ofp and arma AI.

 

[baronjohn]

The AI is terrible. They only appear to work because ArmA 2 is basically one uber boring open space, but try them out in a village and it all immediately falls apart. Aiming at walls, facing the wrong direction, serially running straight into fire from cover, response times measured in seconds, completely random stance changes, etc etc!!!!!!! And that's how it's supposed to "work". They glitch out 1/3 of the time.

There's a certain 1999 Belgian game called Outcast that had AI that is lightyears ahead of anything BIS will ever make.

But of course if all you ever played was whackamole CoD, ArmA 2 must be pretty impressive. Wait... no.

 

[entertainer]

Good thing you were banned from BIS forums for being an idiot.

 

[baronjohn]

truth hurts.

 

[L'ennui]

Damn, so I guess not even getting a new rig and ARMA2 will satisfy my modern warfare craving.

Time to join the foreign legion!

Damn, I read this as OFP 3 for a moment. Not funny at all.

 

[am0k]

I played it today on the GC, this really is shtshitshit.

This part is true, at least.

 

[baronjohn]

I don't like what you're implying there, dumdum.

 

[Trash]

What's sad is that OFP once patched and with the expansion campaigns included was the highlight of military sims. I honestly expected that after that much win it could only get better. Alas. ARMA 1 didn't deliver because of poor mission design and poor AI. ARMA 2 has missions that are even worse and stops even trying once it introduces the warfare missions. Not to mention the ridiculous amounts of bugs and the horrid AI. And OFP 2 in the meantime looks like a fucking travesty.

Is there anything out there that might save the genre? The original OFP had its problems, but it also showed how utterly cool a military sim could be. I honestly don't understand why a developer takes all the effort to create an engine like in ARMA 2 and then seemingly neglects adding some interesting missions to play in it.

 

[MetalCraze]

The reason is that the lead designer of OFP left BIS in 2004 - after that point ArmA took a turn for a different design. With ArmA2 BIS just tried to appeal to the masses - first missions were of very linear CoD'ish design and Warfare that came afterwards is the most popular game mode among the casual crowd as it mostly doesn't require any usage of a brain and features infinite respawns (it still can be fun though, but only in MP and only if stars will align in such way that the server will have at least some majority of adequate players)

I didn't care for Operation Flashpoint due to it feeling so clunky, but was looking forward to an updated version because I dug the premise. Why does every new game have to be so fucking dumbed down? Is like Paradox the only company left in the world who doesn't do this? If only they made games that didn't have a 5 hour learning curve.

 

[baronjohn]

I don't see anything bad in the OFP2 videos.

In fact, it's got an engine that'll surely run at a constant 100fps, FLIR in vehicles and scopes, decent physics, three sets of continuously recorded voices, ...

Sad how being entitled to one's opinion often means being entitled to FAIL.
