I remember Dude on that one. Couldn't quite figure out what he was doing until his lag caught up and he explained.

That entire mayhem match was organized. At least null practiced and went over tactics for it. At the end of Wilderness I stayed put because there wasn't anything I could do except lie on my stomach unless I wanted to run around like I was playing BF. GR TvT was never my cup of tea.

2006. I think spring. This is what I'm waiting for. Gee, I'm waiting for OFP 1.5. Who cares about GR?

Like I've always said, OFP is GR on steroids.

It's what Bohemia, the original minds behind Operation Flashpoint will be releasing sometime early next year (or late this year-reports tend to conflict). It will be OFP redone on a new, modern engine, with some tweaks that players of the original game have been wanting for a while.

Notice that I didn't say "dumb it down for a console"-take that Red Storm!

Sometime in 2006. Probably late. Doesn't matter: fans of OFP are going to buy both Armed Assault and OFP2.

As out esteemed collegues in the Dystopia ROCKS! camp have said: it's the rules and the admining, not the game!

Could be good. The SP demo was really nice...I like the way the targeting feels a little off, it seems more realistic.

The MP was no different from any other online shooter....but it's Monolith, so they may have something great up their sleeve for the final.

And the modders will get a hold of it and make something fantastic, like the Rocket mod, or some tactical mod.

Besides, Quake 3 is getting a bit long in the tooth. It needs an update.

And I have political reasons for buying it as well: as the head of Tactical OS, I cannot pass on any game by a publisher/developer that ports their game to linux. I don't care if it's a deathmatch. They get my $50 and a email saying why they got it.

I can't think of any examples of Monlith putting in something amazing in a final version of a game.

In fact, I can't even think of any Monolith games. Care to name some?

Apophis

Normally one would try and think of a Monolith game before thinking if Monoloth put anything amazing into the final version. Your second comment pretty much negates any validity you had in stating your first.

Popular Monolith games:

F.E.A.R.
TRON 2.0
The Matrix Online
Aliens vs. Predator 2

Ouch....actually, I was thinking of:

No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 (if you haven't played them....you REALLY missed out).
Shogo
Tron 2.0 (see NOLF)
Blood
Aliens v. Predator 2. (Again, see NOLF)

But The Matrix Online works too.

GR is what brought me to TG so I will definatley be checking it out unless it falls flat on its face and no one here is playing it.

Eggplant999

This and Auto Assault are the only two games i'm looking forward to in the next year or so.

I'll be interested in seeing what they do with GRAW. I don't feel like picking it up until I can be pretty sure that it isn't a JO type game where you use fast pace instead of tactics.

I'll be waiting for reviews. The orginal GR I played tourneys with a top ranked team for over a year.

Also its hard to say if this is still a gamestyle I will enjoy. Back then I was in college and having to wait upto 30 minutes after a death to play again wasn't a big deal as now I may only have 30 minutes to play total.

I would definately agree that no respawns makes for a VERY different game which can be stressful and incredibly rewarding.

They have a new video out now which shows some sweet tactical overhead map order-giving stuff, plus, quite possibly some cool audio clips played when giving orders, receiving, acknowledging, engaging, etc.
That part looks like it might put the game in line with what we want, rather than a dumb console game.

Console ports sometimes do or do not work for PC games. Hopefully they change somethings rather than being the same game from the 360. Most of the videos are from the 360 perspective. That's what the game is supposed to be giving orders, recieving orders, etc. on all versions.
