Ok so I go tmy copy lastnight....and its great :D

Finding it a bit hard, but will keep me coming back for more.

Does anyone know if there is a Mplayer server yet in SA? :confused:
 
SGS server is on it's way. I'm Kinda Dissapointed. With Opflash2. While some ppl find it a bit hard and intimidating (as it surely is) it's nowhere near ARMAII or even it's predecessor Flashpoint1. I'm a HUGE fan of the series. I still have the original and it's expansions installed on my PC, and some of my user made missions even made top downloads back in the day of the original opflashmaps websites. I remember spending WEEKS to make a mission. Sigh, good old times.

Remember this is a straight console port, it shares alot of the dumbed down stuff that has t o be inforced on the consoles, and it immediatly put me off.

I'm Much happier with ARMAII, specially the Multiplayer, it's awesome!
 
I did notice things not 100% up to spec (if you want to call it that) but not enought to turn me away.

Any idea when SGS will be running with that server?
 
No idea on the date though, I'll try and keep you posted. See If I played Flashpoint 2 Before Arma it might have been a different story. Look its got a lot going for it, I am not shooting it down at all, I think this we will LAN more than ArmaII, cause it's just that bit more accesable than ARMAII is.
 
Taken directly from the iGame forums.

So I have been researching Flashpoint 2 the past few days in order to get an understanding of how the game works and how servers are run etc.(my normal routine before a game release)

I have bad news and some very bad news and maybe some good news.

Bad news:
The games MP is broken far as I can tell.From the reviews I have read thats covered more than the SP part of of the game,are all negative.Broken server browser,broken game joining.Errors,no friends list etc etc.

The Very Bad news:
Read multiple articles and topics on forums about this and I am sad to say,Flashpoint 2 has no dedicated server files or option.The same happened with FEAR 2.The game has released without any dedicated server support at all,Only the listen host your own server option.
Info can be found here regarding this:

The slighty good news:
CM are working on a patch,there are no details on what the patch will add yet and when it will be released but all we can do is hope they give us dedicated servers for it.Until then theres no dedicated server hosting option no game provider or server rental provider will be able to host dedicated servers.I will keep checking in on the matter and the patch thread on the CM community page.I guess we wait.

Real pity. How can you possibly release a game without dedicated server files? :(
 
Damn...oh well. I was thinking of creating my own server for me and my mates at home.
A rather crude way, but I will get them to VPN in on my Router and then start a normal LAN server...that should do the trick for now.

Will give it a bash during the next two weeks and let you know.

As I feared :(

I read you can't look around while driving :eek:

I'm going to wait for a patch or two before committing myself to buying it
 
So far co-op is a pain. There are no checkpoints so if you fail a main objective you are relegated to doing the whole mission from the beginning, including the pleasure of having to wait through the intro briefing - again. Fail. :(

Edit: Just a warning, the game is very very short. On normal it will take you no more than 6 hours to finish. Maybe a tad longer on hard. Very disappointing game imo.

User created content should increase game time. If you wanna flog it off cheap PM me :D
 
lol.

In his defense he did say MF2. Whats that "Motha sumthing" sequal?

p.s. Got Dragon Rising on PS3 and it looks interesting. Only played like an hour last night but looks like if you put in some time you will be rewarded. Finding it quite difficult ATM.
