I noticed ground shake too - like a mini earth-quake. LOL I thought it was a bug since no explosions were going off at the time.

Good to see another patch but they still haven't fixed a lot that have been present since day one. As for snipers, I don't mind the fixed scope, but the bino's being offset is a little annoying. I don't like this wedge that makes snipers easier to spot though - talk about dumbass or what. A sniper is meant to be hidden and difficult to find. Good snipers are, dumb noob snipers are not. Noob snipers are always easy to find but why hinder the good sniper who takes time to find his 'spot'. That's just unfair.

Luna - You'll get used to it in time. The more you play the easier it will become. In the meantime ditch the bins and use the TD at x4 zoom.

Isn't the wedge a server setting? The patch only introduced this fixed zoom and bigger muzzle flashes.

Anyway, you can bet that the upcoming expansion will fix everything. /end sarcasm

I still can't believe they're releasing an expansion and the game hasn't been out 6 months. Did you know they're testing stats tracking for release at the same time as the expansion? Hmmm... so they decided to work on an expansion instead of getting stats working right away.

jex · 11-09-2004, 10:08 AM

I know the wedge is a server setting (probably lol) but why make it even worse? They should've restricted the amount or at least made it a server setting - but I guess to introduce that would mean a lot of work.

You know this game isn't really all that. I'm getting bored with it already. It's not the game type I like to play, there's no realism and it's still broke. An expansion so soon after release smells of a con to me and for what? 150 player servers and who plays on them? Practically no-one I play with because it's too retarded. Yeah it's ok every now and then but what do you get from it? A bunch of idiots running round with very little team work. 150 players servers seem more of a burden and why do I need 150 players when there's infinite respawns? 64 players seems more than enough to me.

I played Raven shield last night and had a much better time than I did with JO. Then I played OFP and had a better time. These are games that I've played 10 times more than JO and find them more enjoyable. Yes they have taken a series of patches to make them what they are today but they are so much more polished than JO will ever be. To include in that list add Ghost Recon - (Imagine that 150 player lol) and vietcong.

The only thing that keeps me playing JO is the AAS game type - if it didn't have that, I would probably never have bought it. As for the expansion, I'll see what it brings.

Lil' Bird · 11-09-2004, 11:15 AM

I think it's about time they release the Escalation pack and do something about unlimited ammo on mounted nade guns, because I'm feeling a bit bored with this game now too jex. I'm thinking of reinstalling Soldier of Fortune 2/ Raven Shield/ Operation Flashpoint/ RTCW or even get a copy of BF1942/Vietnam to take a break from it.

What I do like with Nova games though is the big wide open space in which you can go to whatever you see in the map, unlike some games where the background is just that - you can look but not go there. Some other games just feel so claustophobic after a while eventhough the graphics are so good compare to JO or other DF games. The other thing I like with Nova games is the weather, especially when it's sunny, I don't enjoy it much when the atmosphere is gloomy.

You mean you have Operation Flashpoint? THE most REALISTIC FPS to ever be made and YOU UNINSTALLED IT?????????????????

LOL just teasing

but you should re-install it as a lot of us still play it. In fact we had a game last night and played 'Band of Comrades' (well first 3 missions out of 8?). There are still new mods and missions being made for this game (thank god). In fact the amount of mods out for this are probably in their thousands by now. There is also the CTI mod which is just brilliant.

Re-install it and then make sure you join us for a game sometime

Lil' Bird · 11-09-2004, 11:37 AM

I had to uninstall everything when I upgraded to Window XP and got hooked to other FPS that came out after OFP, but I'm sure I'll be getting OFP2 once it's released. What's the lag like in OFP anyway when you're playing overseas? I didn't play it a lot online though I got all the expansion for it, it's in my games collection.

Hang on ....... I just remember now why I stopped playing it - my PC wasn't fast enough for it when I first bought it, but I'm sure it will run smooth now.

Sorry if I got this thread off topic, same as the other thread.

LOL I wouldn't worry about it. As for lag, I'm in the UK and play on servers hosted in the US and don't get any lag. OFP seems to have connection issues where it drops people but hardly ever experience lag.

We've had some really good coop games and will be playing more in the future

Soon the vehicle mounted weapons will overheat, to prevent endless spam fests.

I like that the APC main guns were stabilized so that you can actually line up the crosshairs on your target.

I hope it's just a bug that the choppers have no flares. The stingers are far to effective now.

Edit: couldn't get the quote right.

**FUNKED1** · 11-10-2004, 03:58 PM

Anybody else not hearing bullet/weapon strikes? I get shot and there's no sound at all, just my health meter going down. Or I'm in an APC and it goes red and then blows up with no sound of impact at all.

Slick · 11-10-2004, 04:03 PM

I have noticed this in the APC. It's not consitent for me though. I think it was happening only when another APC was firing at me.

Reaper81 · 11-10-2004, 04:34 PM

Slick, you need a co-pilot to launch flares. Make of that what you will. I really can't believe how much this patch broke. It really amazes me how badly Nova screwed this one up. I didn't notice the myriad number of bugs until I actually got some good time in with it.

Glad to hear that jex, I'll let you know once I re-installed OFP.

Yeah I noticed that too - no indication that your APC is being hit now, you can even die without hearing a sound sometimes.

What I found quite annoying too is the way you can't use your med pack sometimes, a few times - I coudn't even pull it out and had to go to the armory first, I set my class to medic before going online so that can't be the problem.

Quite a lot of players in Australia are actually boycotting JO until they fix the new bugs, I haven't joined them though and been playing it regularly.

Where are you playing??? How come I never see you on TS? Until you're really playing with TG, you're not really playing...

Whats the server name Cing? I mainly play in Australia but I do play overseas if it's a chopper map because the lag is less noticeable.
