Operation Flashpoint

[Rapishorrid]

The title says it all. Everything and anything about it!

Mainly we want to start a 1944 "clan" or just group that plays real games of OFP weekly or however often. Anyone interested? So let the discussion begin!:D

[PF-Kenny]

how much does Operation Flashpoint cost? Ive borrowed it from a friend once, and it was a very awesome game, but I dont know the price if I was to buy it, which I would hafta do to play with you guys

[Cobra427]

Not sure ... try Amazon.com .... I boguth GOTY years ago for like $20 lol



Right now im play'n around with the FDF mod with the WWII FDF pack

[archbomber]

are there any free demos or free game download for OP or am I fucked out cause I aint buyin it.

[[EID]Sharp]

I've been thinking of getting it, but ffs it's $40 at Amazon, anyone have a cheaper US link?

[Lt. Hanley]

I got my GOTY copy off ebay for around 12 bucks, still sealed and everything.

If you get this thing started, I'd love to join y'all in the near future. Unfortunately, I'm a little too busy right now.

[archbomber]

I would also like to join but only until 1944 comes out than im gone

[Bunglo]

It looks like it's not even supported for XP, did they put out a patch or does it work with XP also?

[Timblesink]

It works with XP - I've got OFP and XP and it works fine!

[metsapeikko]

It works whit xp perfectly, hmm would you give some links for your own made missions, if youre done any? (Damm, my english is getting worse and worse.)

[Sgt So and So]

Alright, everybody, I ordered mine (coming tommorrow!:D ) off of www.gogamer.com, and it's the GOTY edition for only $12.80, so go on down there and get so we can start the 1944 hardcore clan!:D Oh, I call medic class! NO HEALTH PACK FOR YOU!

[Sgt So and So]

are there any free demos or free game download for OP or am I fucked out cause I aint buyin it.
There's a SP demo and an MP demo, but get the SP one, since nobody plays the demo online anymore:( .

[Cobra427]

Most people play those small stink'n CS type run and gun maps online .... I cant stand those I would rather have a nice open map or a large city where my rife can actually be used

[Rapishorrid]

Well if enough people are interested we can probably get a good co op game going. The guys over at the Red Orchestra forums did it fine:

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11

I don't think they've organized a game in a very long time though..:p

So if you are interested just say so and we will see how many people we can get. It could be neat to play FDF WWII just to keep in tune with "1944".:D

[xplosiv]

To be honest I haven't played Operation Flashpoint in ages, but i've got the original version (not goty) and the gold upgrade (with additional vehicles etc) but I haven't got the resistance pack. So I guess I'm buggered until I buy that? :(

[Jimmy]

I got the GOTY for £10. I will be happy to play if someone wants a game.

[Cobra427]

there is also the Invasion 1944 Mods and another WWII mod for OFP

[Rapishorrid]

If they would only release Inv44....sometime within the next decade.:p That would be fitting for the 1944 ofp gamers!

[metsapeikko]

Yeah, I think it would be fun to play some coop missions whit 1944 ofp gamers.

[DavidUpton]

Having a good OFP game sometime would be a great idea. OFP is an amazing game, and probably the most community based game ever.

[[EID]Sharp]

Alright, everybody, I ordered mine (coming tommorrow!:D ) off of www.gogamer.com, and it's the GOTY edition for only $12.80, so go on down there and get so we can start the 1944 hardcore clan!:D Oh, I call medic class! NO HEALTH PACK FOR YOU!

Sweet, thanks man. I did the dirt cheap shipping, but hopefully it won't take too long.

Anyone know if there are many servers online in the US?

Cheers

[Rapishorrid]

Yeah there are some, but even non US servers play fine for me (I am in the US) so you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Except for finding a *good* server.. meaning one without addons that you've never heard of or some retarded "deathmatch" map. I don't know how the server system works can we just make our own or do you have to pay for them?

I am dying to play a good long co-op game!:D

[75thDeadMan]

I'd definatly be for playing some OFP with you guys. don't know if i'd get as serious as a clan for it, but w/e

[Harlequin]

Don't have it, but I'm certainly looking forward to the next one: "Armed Assault".

Is there an online server browser I could look at before I get the game, maybe All Seeing Eye supports it?

I was just looking at the FFUR 2006 Total conversion Pack 2.0 last night, looks pretty cool.

[Cobra427]

well Gamespy is one ... dont know about any others

[Jimmy]

We need a program we all use so we can contact each other to get games sorted.

I prefer X-Fire myself.

[Rapishorrid]

X-Fire: Rapishorrid

Can anyone host a server for us maybe weekly? And if we could have a teamspeak/ventrilo or just use ingame mics that would be good.

Also it's not a clan its just us 1944er's getting together to play some OFP!:D

[Jimmy]

X-Fire: sgscotsman

[Rapishorrid]

I was just looking at the FFUR 2006 Total conversion Pack 2.0 last night, looks pretty cool.

Hmm yeah that does look pretty good. It just updates everything for more realism, better gameply and better visuals for the Singleplayer campaign? I may have to check it out.:D

[DarkOmen]

I'd be up to it. Just please don't make me download a million mods :(

xfire: darkomen1

[Rapishorrid]

Yep thats what we are trying to avoid is all the mod downloads. At most I would think we would use 1 mod if any. :D

[metsapeikko]

Oh well, I dont have X-Fire, but you can contact me in irc.

[75thDeadMan]

Xfire: 75thdeadman

easy enough?

[Hells Angel]

I've played flashpoint at a friends and found it to be fun but the hitboxes and graphics made me not want to buy it. Anyone know if theres a high-res mod or anything that can increase the graphics and hitboxing?

[Rapishorrid]

Yeah after a couple days I am really tired of the game tbh. :(

It's got a great idea and features but it's way to outdated for me to really get into it, maybe if I had gotten it when it came out it would've been better. :D

Oh well. Armed Assault here I come! More like 1944 here I come but either way.:cool:

[Lord Justin]

I really want to try OFP for PC but I don't know anyone who has it :( . I rented it for XBox last week and I must tell you, as I have discovered countless times in the past, first person shooters are not designed for consoles. I got almost nothing out of the game because of the weak controls and how difficult it is to accurately wield a weapon with a tiny joystick. I ended up running around the map shotting at my own teammate because trying to suceed weas so boring.

On the other hand, it seems like the kind of game that would be loads of fun if played properly. That's why I want to try it for PC so badly, get a feeling for the real game rather than the cheap console adaption.

So if I see it for sale anywhere cheap, I'll get it and join the OFP cult and play some games with you guys :p .

[Lordwatson]

I reccomend we all use ECP 1.085, if Jesus played a mod, he would play that :D

Or mabye we could play the new lib mod? Or BAS? BAS is good and the filesize isnt HUGE. You guys should come and play on our ofp.info server, where we run BAS Mod. Great stuff!

[xplosiv]

Anyone know if theres a high-res mod or anything that can increase the graphics
DXDLL (http://operationflashpoint.filefront.com/file/Kegetys_DXDLL;49296) can improve the graphics a bit, check the link for more info.

There is a thread on the iB Forums containing loads of pics of the various mods which have been made for flashpoint. If certain pics on there aren't an improvement, I don't know what is :D (keep in mind that some will have been edited though). The link - Flashpoint Forums (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=33;t=51481;st=0)

[DarkOmen]

When do you guys think we can get an MP game up?

I've been downloading loads of Singleplayer mods and playing a few MP CTI games. Having loads of fun.

[75thDeadMan]

if were really gona play a game we should do it soon, as i think most people have to go back to school in a few weeks, i know i do.

[Matt]

OFPR GOTY best game ever no ifs ands or buts about it.

[Faunze]

I don't know how the hell DaveP missed this one! Anyway DaveP and a few facepunchers including myself have banded together to make an OFP clan! DaveP as the leader it's well structured and we are getting a dedicated server pretty soon! PM me if you are interested.

[DaveP]

Moved/Belongs in gaming.


And thanks for the arselick Faunze ;)


I played for about 5 years, give or take.

What's wrong with the hitboxing? It all seems perfectly correct to me. I've opened up the models before anyway, there isnt any 'hitboxing', it's basically just the low-detail LOD thats been sectioned up into various bits.

As far as graphics go, there's now a mod thing called DXDLL that adds DirectX shader 7.0 stuff like reflective water, bloom, etc. It looks really nice.

And when you consider this game was made FIVE years ago, it hasn't aged that badly.


Also there are various mods that upgrade everything with high-res textures/models.

[Faunze]

Why don't I have that! This damn clan always leaves me in the dark!

[[FFTF]Eurofighter]

lol im still waiting for flashpoint 2 which they started to develop 3,5 year ago lol will it ever come out? :p

[Faunze]

OFP 2 is gonna be so awsome!

[enigma]

no it wont :p .... its being made by Codemasters (or some team who codemasters got in for the job) ... not our czech devs :p iirc

[Bazooka_Boy]

Patience is something you need a lot of with BIS but the result will be worth it. They are another developer that would rather try and get it right the rush it out of the door.

Armed Assault will be a big leap forward from the original OFP and the console version OFP Elite.

I was lucky enough to see it and VBS2 (this is the engine Game 2 will be based on when it is released). These guys have switched around slightly, at first they made a game that was then adapted and develpoed for military use. This time the military is driving the feature list and us lucky public will benifit when the 2nd generation game is released. But for now fingers crossed for a release of Armed Assault this year

Eurofighter;42552']lol im still waiting for flashpoint 2 which they started to develop 3,5 year ago lol will it ever come out? :p

Operation Flashpoint 2 (Now known as game two, if you are reffering to BIS still), is a Lonnnnnng way off. I'd wouldn't be suprised if it was 2010.


Armed Assault was originally planned as a kinda OFP 1.5, but lately has developed into its own entity.


As far as Operation Flashpoint Two by Codemasters, there has been no kind of advance or press releases from Codemasters at all. It would be safe to conclude that it is 'on the shelf'.



I remember when OFP2's (now game 2) release date was mid-late 2003. Oh how times change. :rolleyes:

[DaveM]

Im game. Would this all be via xfire or IRC and could we get a definite decision on the mods needed?

[Bazooka_Boy]

Just to let you guys know, release dates for Armed Assualt are appearing. BIS are going with multiple publishers in different regions so not all reagions are currently covered. BUt check out this forum thread on the Armed Assualt Zone website, it will be updated as more dates appear
