CrowmanUK Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 To be honest I think you could probably do more in OFP than you can in VBS, check out the Finnish Defence Mod, and there are tonnes of really great addons for OFP. However VBS has better graphics, I've got both and I think the graphics in VBS are better than OFP, the models are all top notch, as good as or better than the best OFP addons and it was designed as a military tool which it does admirably, if it can host 100 players without any lag I'm impressed, Gord will tell you how many he hosts on his connection and I get a ping in the 300's to his server and no lag, the missions that are being made for VBS tend towards coop stuff and the community has some great missions already made that really need a good bit of teamwork to get through them which brings me to one of VBS's strengths, the growing mature community, because of the cost of the program you wont be running into 14 year old kids running round tking everybody, we're adults with jobs and families and have all probably been playing games for a good few years, I know I have. So overall I'd say VBS is a special forces version of OFP, it does everything that OFP does and nearly all of the scripting that works in OFP will work in VBS but VBS is better looking and we're all having a blast playing it, Checkout the screenshot thread for how good looking it is.

tyovan4 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 No lag? How much does it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd Ranger Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 (edited) Well, 300 ping and no lag might be a bit of an understatement - you do tend to get AI warping. Well, I do anyway. Edited February 1, 2005 by 2nd Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowmanUK Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It sometimes wobbles a bit when the mission starts but after that I've had no problems unless the servers been packed, prices are here http://www.virtualbattlespace.com/store/ Theres a price for the core simulation then a price for each addon so you can buy as much as you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowmanUK Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 In fact, jump to the last post in this thread by Parabellum, he explains the differences in his words http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php...topic=22051&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyovan4 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Blimey thats expensive! $150 for the game itself and $50 for each addon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowmanUK Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 The cost is why I'd say if you're not sure try OFP and some of the mods/addons, if you REALLY like that then making the jump to vbs is worth it, if you dont like it then steer clear.

tyovan4 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 I had problems patching OFP and I dont like the mod structure. I've never played it in MP, but I think it has a lot more potential in MP than GR does. SP is alright in OFP. I dont have money like that to shell out though..

CrowmanUK Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Multiplayer is the only way to play VBS, its superb, one of the best, if not the best multiplayer game I've played, how much of that is down to the game and how much is down to the group of guys I play with would be hard to say but VBS is a tremendous tool.
