SnowFella Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Well, here's some new's for all of you that's played Op Flashpoint and have heared rumors about the version tailored for military use, in other words VBS1 (Virtual Battlefield Simulation 1) and have always wanted to try it. As from today, as far as I know, its going public for residents outside of the US and Canada. The site containing all the nedded info along with some very yummy screenshots and info is VBS1: Virtual Battlespace.com For all those Spec op nuts out there I recommend checking out the Special Forces pack. My copy including all addons are already in the mail and I'm expecting it to arrive sometime tomorrow. Set up an OP on the lawn waiting for the postman to arrive in something like 10 hours....if he doesn't have it there will be problems! Snow PS: think this info is displayed here first, no other site seems to have it yet. So you heared it here first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasniper Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 looks sweet but at $140 for the basic game and $50 per addon pack it's way too expensive for the general public but then it's not designed for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro_Monty Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Wait, can you explain a little more about this for those of us who have never heard of it before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasniper Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 this is the software the US army devloped from the OFP engine to put in their nice big simulators to teach tactics ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost gamer Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 let us know how it plays.....now if I can just figure out how to get a copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro_Monty Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 So it's not actually intended either as a game nor as a commercial product for individuals, right? It's targeted more for security companies or whatever - people who are looking to train rather than play. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFLUFAN Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 It appears that if you are a private individual in North America, you can't buy this product. Guess we'll just have to convince our Aussie friends to buy it for us and reimburse 'em for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasniper Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 yes, it accually says on their home page VBS1â„¢ was designed for federal, state, and local government agencies for military, law enforcement, homeland defence, and first responder training. Although VBS1â„¢ is now available to the public you should consider that it was designed for these applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasniper Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 you can get in the US/canada, just not from that site look here: http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFLUFAN Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yep..I checked out that site too. When you click on purchasing information, they ask you to fill out certain questions regarding your organization - ie, Dept of Defense, civilian law enforcement agency, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTF-2 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 (edited) ok, ok. so those screens look killer. but does the game come with missions? i mean, are you gonna have to make your own scenarios in the mission editor just to play? i'm in Canada, so unless i can get relatives in england to ship it.... i'm outa luck (PS, do you think the game would recognize where you are 'cause i think XP logs that kind of info.) someone tell us what it's like...please... -PS- anybody notice that the sceens here look MUCH worse than the incredable ones here?

Jack57 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Australian Defence Force Pack 1 I gotta win the lotto . . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 It's arrived!! Time for some serious testing here I'd say. I'll see if I can manage to grabb some screenies to post up here later on. And Chems, sorry mate but I somehow think this puppy is alittle to copy protected for that as it comes with a USB encryption key that needs to be installed for it to run. Yup...both a standard CD key and a hardware key. About those system specs, I'd say they are for the core program and that the addon packs might need just that little bit more as they have higher res models. EDIT: seems like I was assuming to much here about who was involved in creating on the ADF addon. Comment removed from thread. Sorry guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
