Is independance lost really lost? or just hiding

[Speeeedy]

Everyone is bitching about codemaster beeing a bad publisher? But what the hell are you guys talking about, there releasing patches, addons and still supporting the game while its more then a year old most developers leave the game by then. (EA, Eidos are two that come in mind right now)

I agree with you there Speeeedy BIS and Codemasters provide the best support of any games company I have ever had dealings with and dont get me started on EA argh!

Calm Calm

We are all hoping and wishing for news on Independence Lost or OFP 2 soon soon please. But still hold with my original assesment Mid November to Mid December in time for Chistmas. Its obvious realy the Game that tops the market then is good for Extra Sales due to being on the top when none gameplaying present buyers are looking for present to buy little Jimmy/Gemima

I didnt even know that Operation Flashpoin existed until i saw it in stores!!

thx to codemasters

Codemasters is a shit promoting,even their star product (Colin MCrae 3) is badly advertised.

Releasing patches and supporting the game is due to Bis not Codemasters.

I repeat:

BIS=professionality and quality in their work (computing,developing,technical support)

Codemasters=Shit(advertising and promoting).

This isnt true what so ever....first of all i dont know about your country but in the netherlands there quite a lot of advertisments from flashpoint.

Second if Codemaster decides to stop supporting and fund flashpoint dont expect there to be anymore patches...

Dont think they are gone post here that they are working on Independence lost because its all secret they dont want topic such as give us it now and so on

i asked a guy from bis : is bis gone work on independence lost

his anwer secret...i only heard from a other bis guy once that they work on a project that can take as long as the release of ofp to resistance

i found out about OFP when i was heavily hooked on CS, someone had a link to it in their signature in the forums. read some reviews and then went and bought it, pretty ironic.

so according to this thread there has been some heavy promotion in europe but according to personal experience none in North America. (when i say none i mean no advertising of any relevance that has reached the average consumer I.E. me.)

i find it pathetic that a company would display such a lack professionalism as to not heavily target and saturate the most lucrative market in the world. BIS should sue them for breach of contract, god knows i would, i find it even negligent that the promoter would so blatantly ignore the biggest cashcow in the history of our time.


P.S. let&#39;s not forget about VBS1 though, THAT is a HUGE cashcow and a company that gets a government military contract is set for a long time. so in essence we could be viewed as being second class customers, since our purchasing power cannot even begin to compare to the US DOD.

if the OFP community dies they can go on with military simulators or with a other game but i think mil simu is the best thing to head to if i was BIS

[RalphWiggum]

let me clarify one thing

VBS was available after OFP. basically, we got it first and then VBS was made. although BIS makes money out of VBS, I don&#39;t know how much it is. they are going through a company called &#39;Coalescent&#39;(?) that is contracted with USMC to provide VBS. so BIS might not get that much money.

also, it&#39;s BIS that is giving out support, not CM. CMs job is to make sure distribution is done.(IMO not good at it). when you download a patch, it&#39;s from BIS, not CM.

and in NA, I seldom saw advertisement for OFP.....except once in awhile in gaming magazines...
