where'd everybody go?
« 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.

What version of OFP are you running?

People play resistance. People love resistance. People like the OFPEC mods will lock this topic 'cause it's off topic. People like me would like to congratulate you back.

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 15€ and GOTY edition maybe 20€. 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.
Not all is lost.

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. :(
Get those missions out there you morons!

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

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

 ;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 :)

Well, I don't know about GOTY, but the 1.96 patch removed the cd check from ofp.

I ordered OFP game of the year from play.com for £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.

 :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)

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 £3 more but hey)

IN YOUR FACE PLAY.COM

I will not relax on the emotions. You'd be angry if you where denied ofp resitance!!!!!
