You have to accept my Friend Request, first.

I've played quite a few games on xbox live, and so far I've been very impressed.

I'm glad I've picked the game up on release as I've never played the PC version and so I've been learning the game on live with quite a few others. I'm sure later on hosts may not be so tolerant of people who aren't sure what is going on. So for me its been a slow learning curve, but once it all clicks its wonderful.

The most I've played with in a room is around 12 players, and was smooth. I wouldn't say completely lag free, there are a couple of hiccups here and there, but for the most part it was very stable. I think the person hosting was from Holland and had a higher upload speed on his broadband, as most other servers seem to be 8 player.

If you have a low number of actual people playing in a lot of the maps there is the option to make up the numbers with AI bots. This I found worked very well, as long as the person who was the squad leader knew what they were doing, you could organise these bots to gun on the vehicles for you etc. Also should another human player join the game they just take over from an existing bot, therefore allowing people to join games whilst they are in progress without ruining the flow.

Some of the best games I've played have been the Blitz map on the Hold game type. In this one team have to attack an Island with helicopters and take the flag for 3 mins whilst the other defend. With a lot of players is like something out of apcolapse now.

Also Pilot Down on Team Mission is great, both teams searching for a downed NATO helicopter crew. Some very tense play if you find yourself in the desert with no vehicle and can hear helicopters flying over head.

As someone mentioned in the review thread, a lot of people were just talking over each other on live which is annoying. Then again some times people weren't talking enough and all the attacks were uncoordinated. Also as mentioned was the fact that you can't tell immediately who is talking. Though one way around this is to press start and go to the players screen, then whenever someone talks a little icon to the right of their name lights up.

I have a couple of questions that you more experienced Op Flash types might be able to shed some light on:

- What is the difference between Group Chat and Side Chat? I notice the game normally defaults to group chat, but you can normally talk to everyone on your side.

- If you are the squad leader can you delegate for some of the AI bots to be controlled by another player?

- How does the coordinate system work. I can do a "Where are you" and get all the response back, but how does FG19 say (can't remember there exact format) translate to a position on the map.

- You can command the AI bots to target other people on your side, where would this be used?

- What is the difference between Group Chat and Side Chat? I notice the game normally defaults to group chat, but you can normally talk to everyone on your side.

>>>Side chat has to do with the Army you're a part of. Group Chat would be everyone in your group. The rest of your side wouldn't hear you.

- If you are the squad leader can you delegate for some of the AI bots to be controlled by another player?

>>>On the PC you can divide up your group into teams. Highest ranking player in a team guides the team. Not sure whether he can then issue orders to the rest of his team or not. Never tried it.

- How does the coordinate system work. I can do a "Where are you" and get all the response back, but how does FG19 say (can't remember there exact format) translate to a position on the map.

>>>On the edge of the map you should see Letters and Numbers. Read Down and Across to find the grid being referenced. You may have to zoom the map out to see the Letters and Numbers. Not sure.

- You can command the AI bots to target other people on your side, where would this be used?

>>>Interesting. Not sure. Maybe it is just to make friendlies aware of other friendlies. I doubt that they will fire on friendlies, even if targeted.

First off 1.Side chat is for talking to every one one your side. Group chat is for talking to every one in your group/team/squad what ever you want to call it, Every one under the command of your leader or if your the leader, every one under your command.

2.No idea, in the PC version we didnt have join in progress.

3.well you got numbers running up the map, and letters across the bottom. just find FG follow that up in a straight vericle line, and also find 19 and follow that from the side in a straight flat line. where they both cross path is the rough location. Maybe some one else can explain that a bit more clearly?

4.Dosent have any use, must just be how BIS coded the command system, i dunno.

So there's nothing like the proximity-triggered taunt chat that allows you to speak to enemy players who are withing earshot, like in Halo 2 or Far Cry: Instincts?

OFP chat was kinda bad in that your fellow team players could unwittingly broadcast your plans to the enemy on the global channel. Of course, you could always ACT like the plans you were broadcasting were your real plans, say "Oops!" on the global channel, then communicate your REAL plans to your team after you switched to the side channel. Heh

"I used to bulls-eye womp-rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than a couple meters."

I actually prefered carrying 3 LAWs to 1 Stinger. The Stinger didn't always work, but if an enemy helo loitered, I could nail it reliably enough, even on the move. (Use the clouds as reference for the speed the helo is going.) I could bring down 3 helos in one run. Plus, it was easy to switch to ground targets if some scary armor showed up.

Yeah, they are nice. Irl i'm also looking for a 'nice' shot with my cam. And in this game i do the same, a bit to the left/right, kneeling down, sun in the back or looking for lens-flare, etc...

Really feels like a 'war-photographer' ... It's fab OFP:E, as if you are really there ... Never, never, never have i experienced this so much in another game. E.g. Halflife was perfect, but i felt more being in a super movie. But OFP(:E) you are really there ... it's awesome.

If i look at the variety of shots i myself am amazed. And it doesn't even cover all aspects of the game (like tanks, helis and nightmissions)

I have the deepest respect for the devs of BIS.

Of course there are issues, there are always issues. For one, the view distance (esp. when flying) isn't optimal but i'm sure BIS pushed the Xbox to the limits so it was just not possible to better it. Only in my dreams i see a follow-up of OFP:E on the 360http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif or even a OFP:E 1,5 meaning the same OFP:E with only graphical enhencements running natively on 360 ... before hopefully a true OFP:E2 will arrive.

Anyway, above was a bit off topic. If i have some more nice caps i will certainly post it here.

From Gamespot forums:


Quote[/b] ]And it f'ing rocks ass online.

Was just online with some dutch guy. Anyway, there were 6 of us. He had made this thing called Airshow.

Night, in the desert, with a load of tanks on the ground. All us stood someway back out of harms way with night equipment. He'd set up some planes to come over and engage the tanks.

Anyway, all of us fired out flares out over the tanks and lit the whole damn place up. Next second the A10's come and unleash HELL. The frikkin light show that ensued was just, quite simply, superb.

The tanks were firing at the warthogs and the warthogs kept making runs until they were all blown to bits.

We were all just stood there watching laughing like lunatics at the greatness we had just see.

Seriosuly, you have to buy this game.

Hmmm,just wondering,isn't there a way to get PC addons onto the xbox version? Say the Tater Salad Diesel truck for instance? That vehicles awesome,even though the interior isn't textured its still a very beautiful truck.

The 'shot in the face' screenshot looks pretty good too,it seem that they used a different mapping technique or so because I remember you couldn't get something that clear on faces,especially with the wound thing.

Welll I gotta say,this is definatly looking awesome,the new lighting system really adds to OFP's beauty and just think of what the future holds....so it may take awhile to get out,its definatly going to be worth the wait for whatever they release.

Ok, yesterday a heli crashed but 'landed on it's feet'. Look a bit 'strange' but the heli WAS damaged and couldn't be flown afterwards.

Let's say that i have seen much worse collision detection etc in other games. In OFPE for me it is not an issue.

Interesting,anyone notice the night effect? Remeber how at night all objects were on the grayscale? Seems they have managed to work their way around that and that things are rather easier and more realistic to see at night,I'm not sure how that would reflect when your out of a town but I think it looks pretty good there.

Well every game has its physics faults,if you want to compare the so called bf2 great physics,I remember once a friendly tank was comming at me,I was in a fav and they didn't stop,well my FAV got stuck under the tank for a few seconds and suddenly I was 30 feet in the air,not sure how this happened.

Ah still got the good ole "dead animation" heheh,I'm guessing the ragdoll effect takes a few cycles or so,and in this type of game might not be such a good idea.

The omg vid looks fine to me. Especially how the fence goes down.

And for the omfg vid we have to consult the Mythbusters;)

[XyonicS]

Rag doll physics are good fun and all but most games don't employ them correctly. While it's spectacular to have a body go flying 30 feet through the air from a point blank shotgun blast it's not very realistic.

How ever in Flashpoint while the physics may not be perfect they are quite impresive. Some one is running at full speed and you pop a sniper round into his head (not an easy task with real balistic physics I might add) and he will through pure momentum continue to take 2-4 steps forward before falling head first into the dust and sliding just a little bit to a halt.

Now this to me is far more realistic than instantly flying away from the shot and then landing bent double backwards. Also these bodies don't just fade away within a few seconds leaving no trace (unless your a commando and are hiding the body), they stay put until the end of the game and you can also raid them for all that they were carrying.

Now no other game has that on the XBox.

no, just because it has ragdoll doesnt mean they have to do it unrealistically, they should just flop to the floor iiif you shoot them straight away- if you get shot in the head you dont carry on running, thats i big flaw I think, many a time i have used to many bullets as im no sure if I have got them as they always have to complete the animation first, be it getting up from prone or throwing a grenade. But stilll with so much stuff I doubt they could of put in ragdoll without severe performance issues.

But for me online expericenes are severely going down hill, me and a friend seem to be the only one who work as a team, and therefore every time we play there is no competition as people dont use each other, they just do there own thing and we usually end up doin everythin ourselves.
So if you want a decent game with some competition, add Adam Ferante to your list as gamin right now is just too easy. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/whistle.gif

Yeah Borja, videos 1 and omg like fine to me (look at the front end of a BRDM and tell me it wouldn't drive right over a UAZ at full speed) and omfg is probably because OFP doesn't model wind-resistance/drag coefficient, but what tac-shooter does?

Havoc ragdolls would have been nice and are calculated client-side, I believe. Having played OFP:E for hours and hours, now, I'd say that it isn't such a big deal that they aren't in the game, though.
