Hmmmm, only played 5 or so mins, the "tutorial" it gives is pathetic, do this do that without actually showing you buttons to press! Guess this next bit could be a tiny bit spoilerish so dont read this little bit... ...................I blew up the radar thingy and was a good distance away from it and the explsion killed me, which just bugged the hell out of me and i quit the game

count yourself lucky.....it killed my entire squad and made it game over

I mean the following in the nicest possible way, but, surely for only £17 it is worth it for the SP alone? With the addition of the mission editor, surely this is worth 17 of your shiney pounds? A lot of new games are considerably more expensive than that. I think you are at least getting a fair bit of value for money, despite the obvious MP failings.

I would have happily paid 40 squid for the ge this was hyped as. In all honesty for 17 squid I could get a lot better fps - if i didnt already own them lol.
 
I still haven't played this game yet, hopefully will get it in post tomorrow, but I will be happy just being able to play around in the mission editor. Apparently, it's actually a very powerful one and CM have essentially said that although there is officially a 64 object limit they "expect" the community to alter that ;) Also, people are already playing in dedicated servers apparently. Again, the community have worked out a way somehow.

We've actually released a whole bunch of new in-game screens recently, and I think all of them are up on our OFP: DR Flickr page. Below is a small selection for you:

Arma 2 is much prettier. This is what you can realistically expect to see while playing OFP: DR...

That's with everything set to max, 8xAA 8xAF. BF2 looks nicer imo!

No comment on the editor but ive not read anything like that from anyone official on the CM forums.

The "dedicated servers" you speak of are actually some guys in Sweden who have epic 100mgbit connections and are simply hosting games p2p, its not dedicated its just more upload from the host, as soon as anyone from anywhere with poor uploads connects it all goes to hell.

Plus like I said to the guy who's doing it, can I book out your home pc a few nights a week for some clan wars ?

I'm waiting for him to get back to me on that.

yeah I actually read somebody's post wrong on the CM forums (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=384362). Still not particularly fussed because this is going to be a mission editor centric experience for me and 2-3 player co-op in hardcore mode will be a blast I'm sure.
 
Yeah, I think if your wanting some co-op action it will be a good laugh tbh. That aspect of the game seems to have gone down ok tbh.

Yeah,I clearly faked it in ms paint. **** :rolleyes: How would I set it to 8x anisotropic without going into the so called 'advanced' options?

Anyone can go to the same place I took the screenshot for themselves, it's above the AA marked 2.2km away from the start point in the first mission, again, ****.
 
Downloading on Steam now, so what with my abysmal internet connection I'm fully expecting to be playing it this time next week...still, will give me time to wait for more 5850s to come into stock :D
 
One thing I do like the look of is the mission editor, that actually looks quite powerful. I might be able to get a few hours of fun out of this game afterall.

Lol after reading about how bad the friendly AI is and that if you play MP the bad AI doesn't affect you, I don't hold out hope that the SP wouldn't just infuriate me. As I've said before, when the demo comes out if it's any good I'll buy it then.

Batman Arkham Asylum was only £17 on pre-order as are a lot of other titles and yes, it may only be £17, but it's still money at the end of the day and I could buy a different game with it instead :)
