BF2S Forums Operation Flashpoint 2

Well, even if I just wind up playing this co-op for a couple of months, I'm sure I'll get my $40 worth.  Definitely not as good as it could be, and as mentioned by others this is probably due to having to juggle between making this game for PC and console gamers simultaneously. 

If this game had been made primarily with PC users in mind, with even slightly better graphics, more joystick support, and dedicated server support, it would be epic.

I was a trained soldier old boy. I couldn't hold my breath for 2 minutes(with the possible exception of post beer and curry farts after a rather heavy session) a couple of seconds for a shot on a range for a weapons test or zeroing. However if your blowing out of your arse after having to crawl/ hard target to a position to fire on a target you have two hopes of being able to hold your breath for the shot. So the swaying thing is perfectably acceptable.

Must be hereditary in my part then.  My father was a tankless diver who could go upside down underwater bottom-floor coral diving for well over 3 minutes, diving for clams, lobsters, fish, etc.  Add to that my martial arts based breathing/meditation training.  Must be why I still have a very steady aim at the shooting range.

sprint a few hundred meters then try to shoot steady.

Like he said try sprinting a few hundred metres followed by a bit of a crawl for 50 odd metres and then see if you can hold your breath for 20 seconds let alone 2 minutes.

Now to the game. Its not to bad the friendly AI is abit hit and miss. The buggers have a habit of walking in front of you whilst your engaging a target instead of moving behind you.
The enemy AI's just as mad. I managed to take out an APC with a HE grenade and got into a fire fight at a range of 5 metres. The group of enemy instead of just unloading there weapons at me tried hiding behind trees and let me slot the lot of them with only a few rounds fired at me.

Have to see how the coop works out!

You're not playing it right ^^

Try COOP that's where the fun is! That's this game's good point!

Can you co-op in a 2 player attack helicopter? Then I might be interested.

I'm pretty certain you can co-op in a heli...I was under the assumption that co-op can be essentially played exactly like the singleplayer, but instead of being solo with 3 AI squadmates, you are with a buddy (or two or three), and 2, or 1, or no respective AI squadmates depending on how many are playing co-op.

So if you have 4 friends who want to play co-op, you have the opportunity for a really fun time.

And Chou:  I haven't flown a heli yet...is it ridiculously hard?

i dunno.  people talking aboot holding breath and shit.  never was an issue for me in two wars.

Wouldn't full combat load with all of your gear be like 80lbs, vesus maybe 30-40 lbs. of stuff if you just had your gun, some magazines and grenades, body armor and uniform?

Regardless, I do think the sprint speed could be maybe 10% faster without being very unrealistic.  I'm all for games having slower sprint speeds than, for example, BF2 or COD games, so long as they give the soldiers you are playing a lot of stamina.

Its release day..........

.......my copy has not arrived

If it came today, it wouldve been a miracle. It will be lucky if I get it tomorrow.

I'll be lucky if I get it by next week

I just have one small complaint.
Why the fuck do i get only few mags? jezus christ, i know that soldiers don't carry 20 mags but playing with only 4-6 mags in the whole mission is ridiculous. And i hate to use the chinese rifles because they suck balls.

single shot, steal ammo from dead friendlies

when all else fails, whip out knife

When it only takes 1-2 shots to die knife may not be a good idea. The pistol is pretty fun though. I usually do pistol + grenades when I'm out of AR ammo.

nah, knock guy over with the SCAR-H, then run up and shank before he bleeds out

it's like a race against nature

don't miss then

single-shot ftw

I always have my weapon at single but it happens to miss sometimes when you are shooting at targets at 300-400 meters away.

move up then?

I've been wondering, can you melee with the rifles?

No, would that be realistic?
