If I'm the head cheerleader, then perhaps I better find another job, cause I suck at it.

I don't see what's so ironic about it. I am not interested in 4 player LAN. I don't have a LAN. And even 8 player internet does not interest me. I won't even attempt to play single player either. I am only interested in 20-30 player internet on dedicated servers.

I don't see what's so hard to understand. I'm enjoying 1000 player combat with WW2OL. How are they at all related?

I was going to preorder OFP but will now wait until they get things cleared up and optimized. I've been reading about that netcode, and it appears they kinda just slapped that in there at the last moment.

Boy, that sure reminds me of WW2Ol... except I think the entire game was "just slapped in there".

Well here's the difference. I like WW2OL. But I'm not too keen to single player OFP. Yet, it will be good when internet support comes around.

I can play as many varied missions as I want right now with the OFP demo, but I haven't touched it in like 3 weeks. It just doesn't appeal to me in single player mode.

Plus, OFP is an entirely different game than WW2OL. You can't even begin to make statements that OFP is better than WW2OL or vice versa. If so, then I can say Tetris is a better game than AH.

fscott on the defensive.

False start, 5 yard penalty.

Repeat 2nd down.

Well, ok I still don't get it. Such is life.

OFP is not good enough with just 4 or 8 player internet for me to buy it now.

OTOH, WW2OL is good enough for me to buy/play despite the numerous bugs and crappy code. Why? Cause I love ww2 stuff. And it's fun. Just basic fun.

Does that make sense now, as to why I can wait to buy OFP until they get dedicated server support?

Fscott, OFP is something I can enjoy NOW. Without a huge ram upgrade, or banging my head against all the other crap in WW2OL.

What they have released is something working. The LAN and single-player side rocks.

They say they will release dedicated server support (with larger numbers) in September . WHEN ITS WORKING.

The graphics rock. The AI rocks. The terrain ROCKS.

Look at the FE on this and this is what WW2OL should have been like. Look at the arena/net play of WW2OL and this is what OFP should get!

This games engine has serious potential. Whereas WW2OLs engine has serious problems. See the difference?

Ok let's put it this way...

When OFP sells in the States, FScott will probably buy it.

When WW2Online sells in Europe, I will probably buy it.

By then both games will be great multiplayer fun, for sure!

All friends now?

I agree 100%. OFP rocks all to hell and back. But in it's current state, I'm not interested at all. I'll buy it when it has dedicated server support and 20+ players.

By the way, I'm designing a couple of missions, I'll let you know when they are ready in case you want to try them out!

Of course, I'd be delighted to try any missions you guys want to share!
