Operation Flashpoint patch coming alongside first DLC

Haha, yeah, I was wondering if the game was worth a buy. Not a lot of press on this title. Makes me wonder if the publishers thought it was worth to be advertised.

Cant wait for MW2!

(click the operation flashpoint blue link above and it takes you to a previous forum with a lot of joystiq reviews and here is 1 of them)
this is the type of game I am probably going to wait and buy when it reaches that $ 10- $ 20 discount clearance bin at the neighborhood game store if I ever buy it.

I honestly think you are full of ****.

1. I lag more on OFPDR more than any other game on my xbox. In fact, its the ONLY game I experience REGULAR lag on while playing over xbox live.

2. only a sample of the issues I have experienced with OFP so far:

1.Enemies in MP take 3-4 headshots to die

2. Vehicle physics are a JOKE. (hit a rock and bounce 15 feet backwards, turn at more than 30 mph and flip over every time.

3. floating bodies

4. invisible guns

5.HORRIBLE friendly AI (constantly getting stuck and they do not respond to my orders at least 50% of the time.)

6. poor enemy AI

7. HUD disappears and reappears randomly

8. constant disconnections and lag on MP

9. to put it simply, MP just ISNT FUN compared to OFP1. Especially with no mission editor on consoles

10. CM advertised 60+ weapons, when really there is only 20 or so, just with different scopes on each.

11. Where the hell are all the vehicles?

12. NO FREE ROAM, (god that pisses me off) even though CM advertised free roam on OFP2 over and over again.

Also, I am not an arma fanboy, having never played Arma 1 or 2. (my computer cant handle it). so dont go blindly calling people ARMA fanboys because they think this game is bad.

Hell, my comp can barely even handle OFP1 with max settings

the main reason why I am so pissed over this is because CODEMASTERS completely stole the OFP name from bohemia and then ruined the franchise, releasing a buggy, unfinished, piece of sh*t game. I do plan to buy ARMA2 asap once I get a new comp, which should be really soon.

So basically in a nutshell:

OFPDR is trash. Codemasters has royally pissed me off and I will never buy another CM product again.


If you have experienced ZERO issues with the game, I HIGHLY DOUBT you have ever played it. So GTFO.

spyder- i just pulled 1 comment from a previous forum on joystiq... its made by ryan as the post says, its not my opinion because i havent played the game.

Massively Awesome Modern Warfare 2?
oh.

Am I drunk or does your sentence not really work?

The problem was that Codemasters was using the Operation Flashpoint name. If it was simply named "Dragon Rising" it wouldn't be like this. Using the name means you gotta live up to the name.

Just did a little research and understand now. Disregard and carry on.

What in the hell are you trying to say

Some of the earlier reviews on metacritic say that the game's great for online co-op.

With the AI bots, not so good (that's where the game takes a hit down to its just-below-80 average).

I picked it up but haven't gotten around to it yet.

*head explodes*

It's a really good game, one of the best FPS's I've played in a while.

I think the enthusiasts that expected a true sequel are the main ones angry over the game. Everyone else seems to enjoy it.

I think this screenshot shows that if you loose attention for a sec you will loss your live so be careful. fitflop

Nobody is debating on whether to buy OF2 or MW2. They're hardly even similar genres.

MW2 is military arcade multiplayer shooter for the casual that only owns three games or the lowest common denominator hypist.

OF2 is military sim made strictly for the harder core. Sure there are harder core games, but the COD-style crowd is certainly not the intended market.

I've been having a great time playing co-op with friends through the first 5 missions. Online co-op has been solid, no lag at all.

It's a pretty good sequel to Delta Force (or maybe Ghost Recon). It's not a great sequel to Operation Flashpoint.

So it depends what you're looking for.

Oh great so its 4chan shit. Now I know to downvote.

This game is phenomenal. The one dude lists all this bizarre garbage that is supposedly wrong with the game?? Freakin' weird like he works for a competing game or some nonsense... did you play the beta and post those errors in your comment here? There are some issues: the graphics are kikass, the physics are great, the ai is topnotch except the medic sometimes doesn't want to heal when you tell 'em to... let's see - oh, yeah you can go to any part of the entire island you want... so yeah, there's definitely free roam which the douchebag said there wasn't... freakin' weird... umm, I dunno. Take what you think a military simulation should be, add pc capability so your graphics and ai are awesome and you have the current game I'm addicted to. BTW I have every single game I want and this and left4dead are the ones I chose to play usually.
I can't speak to crap console gamers because your ai and graphics are gonna be dumbed down. i have an OCed Q9450 cpu with 4gigs DDR3 RAM and SLIed GPUs so I'm not sittin' with a ghetto console and worrying about ai being scaled down or graphics looking like rubber, etc.

Go figure. I love this game.

Yeah, this game is freakin' stellar.

Anyone saying it isn't probably either plays the console version or has a garbage computer and might as well play the console version (ehem, like the skaterspaz listing all sorts of either misinformation or bizarre errors and crap I do NOT experience on my rig)

I wish I could get into some of the tanks and drive them around but hey, I don't think I could go from a grunt to driving a freakin' tank around in real life so whattya know I can't do it in the game either... I can get in a jeep or a humv but not a tank... go figure

I can free roam - what the hell are you talking about skaterspaz?

the multiplayer sucksballs because of losers misinforming the community probably like skaterspaz... I tried finding dedicated servers and the one I did was full of morons that didn't know how to play - you have to know what you're doing else you waste people's time so people aren't apparently inclined to play the mp part- I know nothing of the optimization because I didn't have any network issues the one time I joined a server and played with a douche that was driving the truck we were all in, crashing it and killing or maiming us all...

The freak, skaterspaz that goes off and lists a long list of misinformation and errors that he experienced is doing the game an injustice. Sorry your rig is ghetto. Sorry you couldn't drive the vehicles and not have video lag or whatever the hell you describe was your experience. How about you buy the game so you're not playing a broken version of it maybe? I dunno why your experience was so crap except your rig is crap, you suck at life and/or you need to grow smarter. I dunno.

Go figure. I love this game.
