Anyone got it yet?
-
Nope, but I got UK version. I'm tempted to buy the US version just to get the patch early. :D
Best damn boxed game I have ever played. Go buy this tonight people. But cancel your weekend plans first. :)
-
I have the U.K. version as well. I have never been so caught up in a boxed game as I am with this. The patch is supposed to add several new vehicles/craft and more missions.
Running outta missions is not a problem tho. There's a bunch on the net & I'm making my own. Lol, I'm not saving em tho. I make my own missions so hard even I can't beat em and I know whats going to happen. Damned AI :)

This is going to KILL that peice of garbage "AH" for sure. This is so evolutionary and bestest sim out there.
Oh wait. Wrong topic :)
I'm looking forward to trying it out again. I did have the demo moons ago but I lost interest with no MMP option and the limited missions. My impression was it was simply the best combined arms boxgame to date. It's what WW2O should have been in many, many respects.

The game has improved tenfold since that demo - framerates are much better, towns are smooth... it is the most fun I've had in an infantry game, hands down!
-
Sadly I only have the OFP Demo.....(does anyone know where I cah get some of the hacked Demo missions? :) ) The Demo will have to do till I can get the real thing.
-
Beekcake,
if you ever take any advice of mine, go buy this game.
Now.
Right now.

There is an ultimate update patch, or some such name. It adds a bunch of stuff like walking, a few vehicles (IIRC). Is this the patch to bring the UK version inline with the US one? It was released about the time the US version would have gone gold.
It was available thru the website - I saw notice of it on Codemasters email newsletter.
Cheers
-
The Upgrade was released right before the US version went Gold. There will be another Upgrade released next week to bring all versions up to the spec of the US version.
-
Hey Vosper!!!
Yeah, as funked said, the ultimate upgrade was from 1.10 to 1.11. This was just before the Gold release. The next patch will get the U.K. version updated with the U.S. version just released.
-
Ordered two copies on the morning of Aug 28th direct from coadmasters. Page said it should take 6 days to get here. Can't wait!.
From what I understand, the US version does not need to be updated on Sept 7th ?
Swoop says hes going to set-up online Trabant races :)
At axleonline.com the best demo missions are final frontier, Oklahoma, and Arnheim. You can get Tin cans too but thats a toughie.

Oh forgot to add "Summer in the City"

Hiya 10bears. Can't remember where I got it right now but the best user created mission I have played yet is called Widow Maker Hill. Intro scenes & all. Absolutely incredible mission and near impossible to beat until you use your noggin and employ some tactics, lol.

Orderd , thanks all , that seems like a very good price .

Ok :D
I loved playing the Rogue Spear series with others via the multiplay. Could never get more than 10 on and not have it a lag fest. All this talk of OP:FP has me exited to try that. How is the multiplay?
"... online Trabant races" lol!!! :)

I picked up a copy from here for my son. It came in a plastic CD case with manual and a tri fold command cheat sheet. I went to install it and it ask for CD key. I do not see a key on the CD, case or in the manual.
Can someone please point me to it's location?
Is it the little bitty numbers lasered into the back of the cd middle? If so I will need to find maginfying glass..
er, ah, nevermind .. found it on last page of manual --- duh
