tomcat_ Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) This game dropped to my attention..only a few days ago... Since then I can see that it looks like an extremely realistic simulation software...mainly for coop... No idea what is like in competitive mp... However, it looks like is more than 10 months now..that it has been publicly released.... What are your thoughts on it after all this time..? Is it still good...? Does the game uses respawns? Can you control the number pf respawns etc? What about custom coop mission..? Is the community large enough...so you won't be playing in empty servers..? cheers Edited March 3, 2005 by tomcat_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowmanUK Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes its great but if you want an idea of what is possible mission wise go over to http://www.ofpec.com/ and have a look at some of the missions/scripts, almost anything is possible...

Sart Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 The re-spawn system is a lot like Ghost Recon, you can have no spawns (The way real men play ), a certain number per player, a certain number per team (I think?), or infinite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowmanUK Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thats about it Sart, and rather than being something you can set as a server option it all depends on how nasty or nice the mission maker was feeling at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhawk Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 @Tomcat The community as a whole is top notch. It is by far one the best communities I have been a part of. I wouldn't class it as a large one though. It's certianly not small but then again the price of the sim keeps the size of the community to the level it's at. Trust me though it's money well spent. As far as playing on empty servers, it's seems about an even distribution of people hosting privately and those running dedi servers such as RSI. More Dedicated servers are going to be coming online in the coming year to if what I am hearing is correct. The gameplay is what you make of it. Most people I have run the sim with have run it without respawns. When one of our members host's a game we will turn on a respawn or two if it's a small group, IE 2 or 3 people playing, then turn them off when more show up. I will say this. I can't count the number of times I gotten burned trying to do something in VBS like I use to do in GR. The AI is pretty good. You quickly learn that, that one guy you just saw running off in the distance is going to be back. With friends. You just don't know from which direction they are coming from. Just as an example.
