Operation Flashpoint 2-Dragon Rising.

just went into another server, waited about 20 minutes for some chump to ready up cause we couldn't kick him. game finally started and we all spawned in a truck and couldn't do anything due to epic amounts of lag... then all of a sudden the truck magically turned itself upside down and then everyone tried to get out but couldn't because lag was so bad. finally got outside the truck by some weird fluke at which point the host ended thegame

that was actually the best game i've had so far lol, thats how bad the lag is on every single server (oh and the host was from england btw and most of the people talking were english, so it's not like it was an american server miles away)

This and along with the "no copy protection checks for mp" (if true) is going to equal griefing of epic levels never before achieved in an fps.

Well I'm going to install this after work and see how it is.

If they do implement dedi servers then I'll buy it as my clan has been looking forward to this for some time now (they've all cancelled their orders too).

Yes, we get it already, you have/are going to pirate it. You don't have to keep labouring the point.

Things aren't looking good for this game lol.

Lol just had a look and to be fair the PC version is getting slated, but so is the console version so the console players aren't happy either (check the console section of the forum!). They are having P2P multiplayer nightmares too so maybe codemasters will have to implement servers?

People seem to be complaining about the physics in the game being crazy with boucning tanks, etc, lots and lots of bugs in single player and the fact that when you shoot someone their body and equipment dissapears shortly afterwards so you can't get their weapon. Also, when you reach a checkpoint your dead buddies respawn without orders and charge the nearest enemy blowing your cover. I think (well hope) this can be turned off in hardcore mode as I read somewhere that your teammates respawning was a feature that could be turned off?

The PC has a mission editor but unfortunately it's limited to only 64 total objects so no massive battles like Arma 2 :(

I can't cancel my order as its already shipped so I'm going to wait for people here to play it before I open the packaging!
 
Anyone know what sort of specs you need to run this?? My setup is in my sig - anyone running it on a similar spec machine??

Thanks....

I wonder what all those who posted in the massive Arma2 thread and said "Ha, what a load of bug-ridden tripe, I will wait for Dragon Rising as it will be much, much better" are thinking now?. ;) :p

I pre-ordered this a while back so will give it a whirl anyway. Will reserve my judgement until after it arrives rather than take for granted the opinions ( which, by the way may be quite accurate, I just don't know yet ) of those who have played the ..*coughs*.. "American" version. ;)

It looked so good from the videos too, just goes to show you can polish a turd.

The fact the CM marketing guy just responded to concerns about P2P etc by just pasting a load of screenshots speaks volumes.
 
I know a lot of folk are annoyed about the lack of "proper" MP but as far as I can remember, Ghost Recon P2P was a lot of fun with a few mates online at night, especially with a couple of beers close to hand. :p
