AVIBIRD's final reflections about the game!

AVIBIRD 1 · 24-09-2009, 09:07 PM

Let me say this first. I HOPE THIS GAME DOES WELL IN SALES. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO GET SUPPORT FOR THIS GAME (DLC for money whatever) AS WELL AS MORE DEVELOPERS WILL MAKE GAMES TOWARDS THIS TYPE OF PLAY.

I HAVE BEEN A PLAYER OF OFP1 since 2001 for the PC and the elite since 2005 and an active member of this forum. While some people hate me and some like me because they always know I tell the truth with facts as well as giving very strong opinions ABOUT HOW THIS GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR THE OLD COMMUNITY PLAYERS. This is my last post because there is nothing more to say about this game only time will tell what's codemasters true indentions towards this game and the old community.

1. If codemasters programers could have added more human players in the console game they would have they are not that dumb. The real issue is they need different people who can get the job done for the next game. Many games today for the consoles have better numbers including the old elite for the old box which has the ability for 12 vs 12 MP and 12 players coop.

2. Mission size limited area! Was it due to the low number of players or was it because they had problems loading the whole island! I know GTA4/FARCRY2 is smaller and BOHEMIA was able to load the whole Islands of OFP1 on the old box with no problems. The whole Island is open in SP what is the real reason.

3. Only two game modes and 4 different fighting areas WOW what a let down. I know they said they have DLC for free at first but WTF. They have the tools to editor missions. It only takes a few hours to put together a simple mission with some basic objectives or if they use the two templates they just have to more the area and editor some placements of units/items. The truth is they took the editor out of the console game to help regain some of the money they lost from this project being delayed and over budget. Game modes are easy if they are just simple objective mission like one team attack and the other defend.

4. This game started to change it's direction from the original format when the ENGLIST GUY LEFT with out a word. I would love to know the real reason why the LEAD GUY would go before a game is done after working on it for almost three years. Did the white shirts of codemasters want to change the old format. I know the ENGLISH GUY played the original and lead one of the major web sites back in the day for OFP1. He stated many times they wanted to keep the old feel but improve on somethings that OFP1/ARMA1 was lacking but not change to much. The question is did they make to many changes that the old community will walk away and did they not make the changes that will pull in the HALO/COD and BF players.

5. I was never into the whole clan thing. I mostly played COOP with 6-10 friends. OFP1 was the best COOP play around hands down. The whole player vs player experience was missing something. I was really hoping for a better player vs player game this time around. It's going to be a good game for small arms just like BIA one and two but, if a game is going to make it big and have a good life span it needs to support clans with more then 4 players as well as COOP. Just like at GRAW2 the game overall sucks but people still play COOP because you can play with more people aganist the AI.

To sum up my thoughts. I will be getting this game because I love playing war games that you must use your mind and not just run around. Do I think this game is going to be good yes for SP and for SP COOP. Is this the game I have been waiting for all this time HELL NO. This game will be good for small firefights with lmited vehicles not a total combat game like OFP1 was. I will see you gentleman on the battlefield remember we all wanted a good game at the end of the day this is just a game and we will always have ARMA2 in the near future for the console.
