FP : DR - News & Discussion

[cjsoques]

Sadly from what I have been reading on both here and on the O forums it looks like this game is going downhill fast. I was hoping it would at least compete with ARMA2 in some respects but it appears that it isn't even going to come close. Granted it might have fewer bugs than ARMA2 when it releases but the more I hear about it the more watered down it sounds.

I'll have to wait and save my money for Arrowhead as it sounds like a performance enhanced content stuffed version of ARMA2 that I would be very excited about...If BIS would just lay off making the lame campaigns that don't work and work on more important aspects of the game. Not pre-ordering either one, but I now have higher hopes for Arrowhead.

Hmm fits pretty much into what the gameplay vids told me.

Gfx that are so so but nothing amazing especially compared to a maxed out arma and a AI that cant hit a haybarn so only the player gets to make the most kills like in Call of Duty.

I wait for a demo but so far it seems i can save my money for Op.Arrowhead.

Can someone reset the thread poll?

That's why I waited until now to cast my vote, because I know how Codemasters (and pretty much the rest of the industry) sells their games. By making promises they won't keep. They should put less money into their PR and advertising department, and focus more on producing games that are actually worth buying without the sugarcoating. That's what happens when a company grows too big. Instead of making good products that sell themselves, you need to invest bucket loads of money to make the products look good on paper, which in turn requires high sales figures for the next product, and so on. One generic product aimed at as many target audiences as possible after the other.

This is something I can play with friends who don't have the patience for ArmA and I'm looking forward to that.

you already got that, its called "Rainbow Six 3"

So the OFP name have been ruin, too bad, but as long as BI wanted to do another milsim tactical shooter title using RV engine without the release nightmare of ARMA1/2, they can always call it "Independence lost"(hint! hint!)


edit: on a secound thorugh of the "no addon/mission" subject, maybe they are talking about the 360 version?

Reaction #1: LOL

Reaction #2: Why that doesn't surprise me? Somehow I expected that from CM. Why they should allow their customers to create their own content when they can sell them some via DLC.


Where is the guy who recently said BIS is milking their customers?
And why all the guys suddenly remain silent who claimed that DR is going to be the end of ArmA2?

Yep I think it might be a good idea to reset the poll and restart it.

If THAT really is the case, OFP will grow old very fast (I mean compared to Arma)...

But my first reaction also was:
