What? He says it is NOT an RPG, so there are no zombies etc... what do you mean?

[Antichrist]

"I have to admit that some Russians officers are really evil."

Does this help? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

[Satchel]

I´m sure that line is related to OFP:´Res. and not some real world swearing into the general direction of the Russian army http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif.

Evil Russian officers... It looks very promising...

[WKK Gimbal]

I can&#39;t wait&#33;

In real life I hate taking the f***ing bus - in June I will spend all my sparetime riding a virtual one&#33; Why? Because you can crash it into stuff&#33; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I&#39;m gonna buy ten copies of this expansion&#33;

[WKK Gimbal]

No, wait... what I&#39;m looking most forward to, is to get lost on the map&#33;
The current islands have become so familiar it&#39;s impossible to get lost. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[madmike]

I just wanna hi jack the bus full of old people on their way to bingo, then drive it in to a russian checkpoint and run over everyone, get out then blow up the bus http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Fenna]

That&#39;s just shady

That&#39;s what people are doing for living at Nogova island in OFP: Resistance http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Major Fubar]

I wonder what these "new gameplay features most requested by fans of the original game" will be...

Maybe at last a *gasp* drop weapon feature?

[Tex [USMC]]

I wonder... can you shoot the bus driver and hijack the bus?
or maybe you can plant a bomb on the bus that will go off it comes to a stop, a la Speed? Oh, the possibilities. Yes, I would like to get lost on the maps again, that was one of the great things about OFP when I was just gettin started. You really had to know yer land nav skills.

[Fenna]

Maybe the "new gameplay features most requested by fans of the original game" could be....

a C-130 Hercules&#33;

[ALDEGA]

Thát AND a UFO http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[Sith]

I dont see what a C130 and a UFO have to do with gameplay http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Fenna]

Fine&#33;

[ALDEGA]

Sith, you have to open minded for these kind of things http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[WKK Gimbal]

No, the new gameplay features are things like random sneezes and farts, which can blow your cover while hiding in a bush.

Or maybe you have a coronary when you see a company of T80s rolling into view, when all you have is a rifle? lol. Actually, I have enough trouble with the way your man randomly receives injuries while driving a jeep or hummer. anyone else notice that?

No, only once or twice in a very laggy game on multiplay. Is it in multiplay you get this?

Or are you driving into houses and stuff? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Gorgi Knootewoot]

cool http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[GFX707]

What I want to know is whether this bus thing means that no matter what you do, every time you go into the new island there will be buses driving around, or whether you have to add in the editor....if the former then that would be great, as people could make &#39;mods&#39; of the bus and have all sorts of things for a totally &#39;living&#39; island without you having to add in everything yourself http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Youre right, just in laggy multiplayer. I try to avoid trees and houses, because the Surgeon General stated that they could be hazardous to your health when driven into at medium to high velocities. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
But it sure is obnoxious to not hit anything at all, and to dismount and find yourself crippled in some way or another.

I think this is a lag issue. At some point during the travel, the collision detection has not been "told" that you&#39;ve turned or stopped and then calculates damage as if you drove straight ahead.

Another sign of this is when driving through trees with a tank and the trees falls over long after you&#39;ve passed them (or double-falls, etc)

I think the only way to avoid it in lag, is to drive far away from stuff http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Buses would go really nice. School buses could be added to and tour buses. You cou pick lot of people up and then drive towards a fuel station before detonating a bomb hidden underneath like these mad terrorists do. Carbombs are an essential addon.
Or change the game into some form of Grand Theft Auto conversion. By the way WKK Gimbal the plane addon was brilliant, as was the "Tossers addon" try adding an American plane/ changing the planes into World War one/ two fighter planes.

[Rage_Frost]
