Any idea yet what kind of system would be required to run this?

Multiplayer OpF was an absolute joy. I had my own private game which was to jump in a tractor and survive for as long as possible before being shot.

In all honesty, OPF was a buggy nightmare of a game. It’s about as user friendly as rubbing salt in your eyes to be honest. It’s probably a great military sim, but it was so unpolished and buggy that it was rendered unplayable for me personally. I hope it retains the same sense of realism and authenticity (which is what attracted me to the original) but without the ridiculousl roughness and general buggy nature of the original (which is what drove me away)

@ Aubrey, I hear what you say, and it annoys me too, usually, but as you can see from the reloading animations, everything takes a realistic amount of time in OpF, if you get shot while you’re climbing into a jeep, well, you should have stayed in cover a bit longer then shouldn’t you.
Harsh, but realistic is what they’re going for (I hope).

It does look rather like COD4. Which is fine by me, provided they keep OFP’s openness and make sure the player doesn’t have COD-style superhumanness.

Anyone else having problems with the flash videos?

It’s making my Internet Explorer 7 crash. It’s making my firefox crash.
It’s making my Google Chrome crash, but it doesn’t kill the browser, but still gives the unhandled exception error.

Cannot view the videos…

Sounds like a flash problem surely, but I’m curious; anyone else?

–EDIT–
Ok fixed it. Had some software installed, “Camstreams media encoder”. Had a file; ipcamera_mjpeg.ax or something, that crashed flash. I installed that yesterday to set up a webcam.

Good bye camstreams! Works fine now.

“Sad I know, but a step up from almost every other game I can remember where the vehicle entering animations are rubbish, or just non existent ”

I prefer when they’re non existant :( (or atleast very tight – Far Cry 2′s don’t look too annoying). First time you get in a vehicle is about the only time I enjoy a transition animation. After that, it’s increasingly “hurry the fuck up and put me back in control!”

Looks great – and the work they’ve put in is looking great.

Great find nabeel!
I’m really interested to see how this turns out, I loved OF but Arma didn’t really do it for me for some reason.

Ooh, attachments. I’ve wasted so much time messing around with the different attachments in Rainbow Six Vegas, they’re just inexplicably addictive.

The bit that excited me the most was the animations of a bloke climbing into a hummer.
Sad I know, but a step up from almost every other game I can remember where the vehicle entering animations are rubbish, or just non existent (so this will at least be better than OpF in one way ;))
