Title: where'd everybody go?
Post by: girlyman on 20 Sep 2004, 20:37:23: i'm sorry this is off subject but i've been out of the country for 2 years and i can't seem to find anyone playing opf cold war crisis, on any of the dedicated servers thru gamespy. i've checked all seeing eye but have only found 1 other, and that's always empty, too.

have u guys moved onto one of the expansion packs? if so, i'll buy it in a heartbeat just so i can play the best multiplayer game i know.

there just doesn't seem to be the interest there was 2 years ago. although there's usually 50 or 60 people in "everon" (the create own game room in gamespy) trying to get into a decent game is an exercise in frustration. besides, all the games there run no more than 8 or 10 players so there's hardly any large maps and big fights. if i want cqb, i'd goto rainbow 6 or something.

please tell me there's a place where people are still playing this game in large numbers and joining big brawls in a dedicated server.

Post by: Artak on 20 Sep 2004, 21:22:16: I don't think there's ANY servers running cold war crisis anymore. Resistance is just so much better and basically all the new addons need it.
Las time I counted GaySpy found 146 server so..

I think Resistance costs about 15â‚¬ and GOTY edition maybe 20â‚¬. And yes, you should get it in a heartbeat ;D

However, I haven't played on any dedicated server for a long time now. I've got a butt-feeling that there aren't any of these good old public 50 player matches going on, but I know there are still a good number of active players and servers.

Get Resy or GOTY.

Post by: MachoMan on 29 Sep 2004, 20:58:16: I think we are gonna see more ppl asking this, ofp has been re-released in a budget box, but ofcourse codemasters didn't feel like adding resistance. :(
Title: Re:where'd everybody go?
Post by: Dubieman on 05 Oct 2004, 21:32:45: Well I agree on getting 1.96, you NEED it. ;)

As for gamespy, its crap now. I remember in like this last Feburary, I was one active guy , (not sure of time).
But then I got out of it and GS lost everyone. Tops of less than 5 usually are there for res. Sad really, but reg OFP multi is still going on dedicated servers. I think.... :P

Post by: DBR_ONIX on 24 Oct 2004, 20:27:44: Hmm, PC Gamer have released the GOTY edition (CWC, Red Hammer, Resistance) for Â£9 :o (Which is annoying coz I bought it for about Â£20.. But it's okay because mine is in a cooler box :P)

Post by: Lean Bear on 30 Oct 2004, 12:16:37: You sure? I bought that one first (cuase it was budget) but it was only CWC. So, I sold it and bought the GOTY edition.

(Which is annoying coz I bought it for about Â£20..

...But it's okay because mine is in a cooler box)

;D ;D ;D ROFLMAO - now, THAT's some funny sh*t there!

I bought ofp & redhammer 3 times because I was afraid of
damaging the disc (my son once broke a cold war disc) ::) ;D

Then I got GOTY when it came, and yes - its a neat box to own 8) ( ::) )

LOL ;D

Now that we can play without actually having the disc in the drive, what's left to burn cash for ??? :-X ;D

(*thinking: Red Light District in Amsterdam, perhaps* :-* :) )

Yeah, what's with that anyway? With CWC I kept having to put the disc in to play. But when I got GOTY, I never need to put the disc in!??! ???

I good thing though :)
Title: Re:where'd everybody go?
Post by: Artak on 02 Nov 2004, 17:31:49: Well, I don't know about GOTY, but the 1.96 patch removed the cd check from ofp.
Title: Re:where'd everybody go?
Post by: Lean Bear on 02 Nov 2004, 18:25:39: That could be it then.

Post by: El Fisho on 03 Nov 2004, 13:39:39: I ordered OFP game of the year from play.com for Â£7.99 8)
Don't know what it is in Euros

Anyway I ordered it a month ago when the caption read "temporeraly out of stock" now it has swiched to "sold out" :'(

I have been waiting for ages. I have downloaded all sorts of addons but they are mostly for v1.81 or above. I am perticularly desprate to play the UKF addons but I don't have Resistance GRRRRRRRRRRRR >:( >:(
Most of this site is not accesable to v1.46 and it is REALLY getting on my nerves

:gunman: :gunman: :gunman: :gunman:

Right. I really needed to have a good rant.

Can't you figure it out big daddy ;) ...

:o :noo: :o NO!!! You didn't! :P ::) ;D

:-* sweet mate, I hope she's worth all the sleepless nights and lack of pu*** :-X ;) congrats arty. :)

Now, to swing back on topic (a completely new experience for ole Tombster). I think your Resistance issue can
be easily solved, El Fisho. Just put up a post over @ the official forums (the off topic board, probably) and ask if
any fellow OFP'er would want to help you out - I'm sure many more ppl have bought extra copies of this particular game!

Ask them to PM you or alike. :)

And search your local games stores, I've seen both ofp GOTY and Red Hammer upgrades on sales recently (in my country, DK)

.

Title: Re:where'd everybody go?
Post by: El Fisho on 09 Nov 2004, 11:14:59: It's never in my game >:( or game station

Anyway I got fed up and GOTY is winding it's way from codemasters as we speak to my house (It cost Â£3 more but hey)
