I think it was always a niche game here. There are still some that have it installed (like myself).

Did you try any new missions, or the ECP?

I still play it every other day or so...

the problem is that there is so many mods, missions, and packs that it's hard to get a properly coordinated, properly matched game... I play strictly SP now... but soon is the Allied Assault game... that should get everyone matched again... at least for a while or until OFP2 comes out.

Getting together for a CTI would be fun!

I played this game on gamspy before i discovered TacticalGamer and it was great fun. It would be so cool to get some TGs playing again, using teamspeak or whatever.

I guess we will probably have to wait for the next couple of OpFlash games to come along though.

We used to have quite a strong OFP following at TG. But it did end up just falling by the wayside. Once Allied Assault comes out I would expect to see a strong following coming back to it and I would also expect to see a dedicated server for AA at TG.

Great!!

Just got back into OFP myself and havent had much luck finding any MP...mostly interested in the coop stuff.

I can see where all the mods can make it difficult to be on the same page. But if anyone is interested in any MFCTI or Afgan Dynamic I would love to jump in on it.

OOooh you jsut wait. Once AA come out I'll be all over like a rash, as long as it holds up to the original.

As for OFP now, have you guys heard of the CTI game?

Capture The Island

This mode pits 9 commnaders vs. 9 commanders. This can be either TvT or Coop (the other side is played by the AI).

Usually we do coop and the game works like this.

First thing to make sure is that you have around 2-4 hours to spare, it really is an event.

The game starts with one guy picked out as the base commander. The base commander can make structures. Structures a re built so you can make troops, vehicles, helo's, support, etc) If your base gets taken out, you loose the game.

The other players are officers. They can spawn troops at the barracks building (made by the commander). The officers then move out to capture towns held by the resistance or the enemy.

Once you hold a town you get cash for it. So you leave you're AI guys to guard it. You may fortify a town by putting up emplacements. You can then move off to other towns.

The game ends when you locate the enemy base and take out the command vehicle and base buildings.

CTI's are great fun. There's a whole war going on and things can get very hairy, very quickly. If you guys have never played one before we should definitely get a game going sometime.

It's like playing command and conquer from the ground.

Yeah I think I have played a game like that before using gamespy. The games I was in didnt last all that long because all you had to do was find the enemy base and destroy it. Once a helo or fixed wing knew where the base was he would lay into it with FFAR or any other weapon and turn your base into a smoking crater.

Your version sounds much better.

I really hope the multiplayer in the next OpFlash games are good. At least the IDEA for the single player is incredible. A continuous war going on and you are are free to move to different areas. It would be great if they could do something similar for the multiplayer.

There are a ton of variations it seems, but this one is the basic min fuss http://mfcti.sourceforge.net/index.html

Been playing that one with just ECP letting the AI be the commander.

For a WWII flavor there is CTI44 - http://ofp.fifthelement.net/help.php (requires a good hunk of extra DL's)

For something a bit different there is the COIN based stuff (think thats what its called).

The nice thing about it is that its like a continous threater with random mission objectives. You have a main base that you work out of and for a mission you talk to the CO. From this point you can either load up vehicles and drive out to it, or be inserted or paradroped into the area. You can also call in artillery or CAS...as well as medvac's for wounded. Once you're mission is complete you can call for extraction.

Progression is based on popularity with the people...call in artillery on a city and lay it to rumble wont help with winning over the people hehe.

Even for SP I highly recommend it....as the map really adds some great atmosphere.

I still play !!

I'm in a clan and we're curently looking for recruits if anyone would like to join. This is my first time here so forgive me if trying tio look for recruits is prohibited here, I'll need to go back and read the rules a little more thrurohly. Anyways we're VFFSquad and we are a serious COOp and live fire team. We don't use cheats at all, sorry for all you who do use them. SO if you are looking for serious gamers to play co op's with drop on by.

This sounds VERY interesting. It sounds like some sort of persistant world within OFP? I think i'll have to check it out to understand properly.

**Hardtale** · 08-31-2005, 03:51 PM

Its well worth checking out. I've had some of the best engagements as far as atmosphere.

I've only tried the SP part of it but there is a MP coop version as well that I would like to try.
