Apparently there's a new bug that comes with the patch:

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard301/ikonboard.cgi?s=3c7ff2da0d00ffff;act=ST;f=3;t=7388


I havnt tried this yet myself to confirm but supposedly you cant land a helo any more, only hover very low to the ground and turn your engine off.


Guess there'll be another mini patch out next week......

Hey and Bug....   ....that aint the last mission.

- When a starshell is lit, script onFlare.sqs in mission directory is called. Received [[R, G, B],
           gunner], where R, G, B is the light color from <0, 1>.

The game is so cool.  Anyone know of any good SP missions (possibly involving stuff like artillery spotting)?
Heck, anybody do any good coop missions?  With ASE the only coop missions I got in inevitably had some griefer with a sniper rifle who'd get bored and kill everybody.

my favorite single player is still bomber man, 2 weeks ago i actually finished it without calling in any suport.

set the charges to take out the convoy but only damaged the t-80 so the crew would bail out.
 sniped the crew of the t-80 and the shilka.
got into the gunner seat of the t-80 and waited for the bmp to come check out the fight- took him out.
while the t-80 couldn't manuver i did manage to back it up the hill some.
used the he rounds to shell the town 'till out of ammo.
then followed the edge of the sea around and sniped the rest of the town

One of my favorite stunts is to get in a vehicle that has a live or dead enemy commander.  ENemies see you as blue, and you can thrash them at will.  This is fun for stuff like the two black-op preinvasion of Kolgujev missions, where there are guys standing around tanks.  sneak up, get in the tank as gunner.  At that point they start scampering, and next thing you know, you're taking orders from the ruskies.  Have the other squad members "drag" the tank around, maybe force the AI to send in some more armor.  Hehehe entertainment itself.

[capt. apathy]

ya, thats great fun. i did that at the campaign game where you attack the armor depot.  put a charge under the helo and a couple of the tanks, saved one charge. then went to the lone t-80 off by itself and hid in the bushs. set off the charges then waited to jump in the t-80 until an nme got in first. leveled the whole base then jumped out, dropped the last satchel and ran for the trees.  he stopped the tank(i guess to switch to gunner) and i set off the charge, best mission ever, i think i killed all available targets.

gee thanks guyz, now I'm gonna hafta load that game up and have another go at it lol

[StSanta]

Anyone know where you ca find *good* extra missions etc for OpF?

There's lots out there: 99% suck.

Inquiring minds want to know...

[Swoop]

In a word.  No.


You're right, most of em suck.  For best results, make your own with the editor.


I've got 1 or two........but as I've never released a mission to the general public I never bothered writing briefings, etc.

If anyone's in a squad for OFP, the best online maps I've played can be fought over here:  http://ofp.stronger.org/

Instead of the usual, boring, capture the flag style missions the admins have used individual maps with a specific objective.  For example, the map I fought last week contained supply convoys, the side who's most convoys made it to base won.

And if anyone aint in a squad...... http://www.1stbattalion8thmarines.com/

Man, I have a STACK of great game CD's I can't get to. Nascar 2002 ain't helping, but OFP Gold has got my attension.

Anyone tried the massive force on force mission?

Having waves of troops come in over a vast field, and only having the limited M16 view is about  frustrating.

Gimme the scoped semi-rifle. Is that possible?

Our squad plays OFP pretty regularly.  We don't do H2H stuff with other squads though... its strictly Co-Op missions.  For some reason, the H2H stuff always seemed to spoil the feel of the game for me.

And Creamo... I have N2002 sitting here too... still unopened in the box.

when do you guys do missions?  I just reinstalled ofp the other day and finaly got it running smoothly with all the new patches.  I'm getting hooked but really want to do some coop missions online.

I have thought about buying one of these? Anyone have experiences with Ghost Recon?

[Mathman]

I personally like Ghost Recon better.

GR has better gameplay (IMO) and better graphics

OFP is more open and flexible, and you can drive tanks and fly planes (though that part of the game is kind of a let down to me)

All about personal preference.
