Defiantly Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hmm, sounds like it's a multiplayer only demo? Is there any singleplayer component to the demo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well... Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 wonder if my 6200 (non turbocache) will cut it? probably not and its not worth a 800mb d/l to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker_CLO Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Well.... what can I say? Personally, I didn't think all that much to it. Joined a server with no real idea of what to do or where to go, much like the others on the server with me. Some mission tips or an idea of where to go and who to kill would have been nice, especially for a demo where 99% of people playing will probably have no real idea of what the game is about. Graphically speaking, I kept my settings at 1040.... hitting 1600 crashed my PC on the setup screen :o. Running a 6800 with an AMD 2.4 GHz processor, so it isn't exactly uber, but still enough to run a game of Pong. In game anims and sound weren't as I expected either. I was hoping for a decent looking pair of hands at least. Functionality wise...finally worked out how to get into the tanks (been a while since I played OF) but those helicopters didn't like me at all. Sorry to my team for ploughing them all down. As first impressions go, I wasn't that ecited by what I saw... I may give it another go when there's a single player mission specific demo available, but as a taster of what's to come, I'm sadly disappointed.

Inplode Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 to me it looks like a battlefield knock off to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit MEM Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 to me it looks like a battlefield knock off to me I believe its the opposite. Operation Flashpoint was the first in this series and was out prior to any of the Battlefield series of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted December 22, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2006 anyone else has played the demo and can give an impression of the game? Hard. When i played all i could think was Operation Flashpoint. Never really played OFP, but when I played the demo all I could think of was "jeez, its gonna take weeks to get to know this game"...I don't know if that's good or bad though :| Overall its a techically impressive game, but performance is horrible on my system, and as you said there are no help icons, tuts or anything for newbies. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest craft660 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Can i just ask, is this a sequal to OPF or a completely diff game or what? What's the connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiantly Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Completely different as far as story. But plays exacty likt OPF with really nice grapgics. The lousy front end is back though. Still like it, it's just takes allot of work to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
