Statements like this aren&#39;t funny, nor smart. Yellow Card for you, sir.

This forum is quite proud of its friendly nature and near non-existance of flames and personal insults. People inciting and promoting these things will be removed.

One more offending sentence like this and your posting rights will be removed for 24 hours. The next offense after that and you are out.

r we talkin about the same forum?

OK maybe it&#39;s true, since the forum got real mods,
at least you mods realize a flame war early enough
to stop it.

However, without offence to anyone, ppl should be patient
expecially on forums, where n00bs and vets r crashing together.

And btw - what is a HARDMAN?
In my german language (i&#39;m from Austria) a hardman seems
to be a guy, who took to much Viagra

I&#39;ve got news for some of you who think that people here are mean spirited in general. This is the friendliest forum I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot. The only other forum I have seen that is this friendly is Sword Forum International.

I come from Through the Looking Glass, the unofficial Thief forum. They are incredibly informed, and they are better with grammar and spelling, but there is too much of an "in crowd" mentality throughout their community.

The Operation Flashpoint gaming community is also the friendliest I have seen, with the exception of the Red Baron 3D multiplayer. Go to Counterstrike or Soldier of Fortune, and you will enter a stupid world where the primary words in the standard vocabulary are "fuck" and "gay" and where everyone appears to be named "faggot." At least, they seem to think that that is everyone&#39;s name.

Ah, so youve met the Hardman. Coincidentally, you have also just met the extent of his vocabulary

Yeah fortunately OFP as it is attracts a more sensible crowd, who can wait 30 mins, enjoy a great game.

Join in progress will open the floodgates for all those stupid people that are described above. The forums generally reflect our online community, currently it&#39;s pretty damn good.

Unfortunately all the numbers on other game servers indicate is there are a hell of a lot more stupid people in the world than there are OFP players. :/

Btw.. YOU ARE THE HARDMAN&#33; YOU ARE A MORON&#33;

at least i would have people to play while i wait for the regulars to show, and dammage your the admin if we got jip maybee a password on the server would keep em out if u wanted a serious game. We&#39;re gettin new net code with resistance, the big features left that people would like to be conquered r JIP and multiple people shootin from vechicles, we would be able to play rts longer than 30mins before we reassign cause we got people waitin. MPs great and can only get better.

Very good, I wish I&#39;d thought of that
Yeah, the numbers are kind of dissapointing for well adjusted, mature gamers. But I think part of that is Codemasters fault. They dont do enough publicity for BIS or OFP. They dont buy TV slots, they dont do a large amount of print ads (at least not in the US, which I dont need to mention is a huuuuuuge gaming market). hell, alot of the sales are word of mouth, and while it is impressive that this many people have found out from their buddies, it reflects a poor job done by the publisher. You know, Playboy did an article about the best wargames out there a few months back, and guess what games were mentioned? MOHAA, GR, and RTCW. Guess what game wasnt mentioned at all? OFP. Why? Not because Playboy didnt like it, but because they didnt know about it. Many guys I know say that the games clerks at big gaming stores like EB and Best Buy etc havent even heard of OFP, and when asked to reccomend a action type wargame, they point to GR or MOHAA. Once again, not because theyre better than OFP, but because noone has told them otherwise.

also ever heard of interstate, it destroyed the interstate series people expected sumthing good they got crap but it had jip, the net code was hopeless but it had people online every day all the time still going today no patches or support at all but it still going it was my 2nd game to get me in to multiplayer first being battlezone. Being exposed to BZ i82 i76 and df series was what made me luv ofp people said 1.0 was bad online i didnt notice ive been used to worse.

Check out the gunfighters if u wanna see what i mean

www.the-gunfighters.com

They&#39;ve made sum good ofp maps but they still into i82.
Strange isnt it.

Tex:

How right u r, i went to dod forums to c that thread bout gfx and his mg42 almost none of them knew what ofp was, if it wasnt for the odd magazine i picked up i would never know bout it hardly, there was a small preview in a pc gamer i think that i just noticed there were al these preivies on rtcw moh saying there going to be the biggest things out MoH is bout as popular online as ofp right now has even more lag and things like campers etc. All these games get heaps of hype ofp had almost none from my view resistance is hyped but only we r hyped bout it.

It&#39;s the browser for DeltaForce:LandWarrior, shitty game but it have it&#39;s own fan players that have followed ***the game since Delta Force 1.
The company provides about 15 dedicated servers with up to 32 players in each, that makes 480 players only on company provided servers, not to talk about the public servers maintained by players.
This is just a small example, not to talk about the other *bigger* games out there that have more than 10 000 players a day
OPF is one of the beter games ever released, but it lacks an important thing that i think every on-line game needs, and that is THE ABILITY TO JOIN ON THE RUN, not having to wait like 30 minutes for a game in progress, or the players allready in progress to cancel the game just to get in a late player
those are my thoughts on the game.

I think your right about DFLW being crappy, but it isnt the join in prgress that makes it big, it is the company provided dedicated servers.
The dedicated servers are expensive, and so few people can afford to put them up. That is what this game lacks. If codemasters would provide 24/7 32 man servers, there would be a ton of fun all daylong, and you wouldnt have to go on GS or ASE, to search for a server, just to play MP.
