In the news item "BIS press release 2 - Armed Assault" you say that it is like OFP 1.5. How can this be with a new engine and all the other features? Sure smells like OFP2 (even though it's not).

ok, I just thought, since BIS and CM has gone each their way, and CM got the name 'OFP', what will happen to OFPEC when AA gets released, and when 'OFP2', with a new name, gets released. Thinking about the name. I mean, it'll be too bad to change name from OFPEC (lol, AAEC sounds...silly), but how are you gonna show that you are a editing site for AA and whatever they will call OFP2? Unless you decide to keep on with only OFP

;DHi

What do you reckon the codes and stuff like that will be like for Armed assault.I hope its very similar or the same as OFP as i have learned quite a bit and am really just getting familiar with the editor.
Anyway sorry as this is a bit off topic.

well i think that ofpec should start to have other forums and other missions depot and so on for AA, OFP and OFP2 but after a while everyone should of got ofp2 and therefore ofpec would turn basically into 'OFP2EC.com' wich would be kind of weird well i dont mean change its name it will be more on ofp2 then ofp1 but who knows i supose that up to Sui or who ever is in charge when ofp2 comes out.
I dont think that ofpec should start to turn into an AAEC.com well you know what i mean because AA is not striclty ofp is it well i supose it is but not plus the mission editing in ofp1 and aa will be very much simillar i mean what else could they add to one of the best mission editing functions in any game ive ever played.

The obvious solution is to call the new game "OFPEC". I'm sure we'd be happy to licence the right to use the name for a very modest sum.

Why didnt anyone think of it!

;D
Also AA.info is unregisterable

Armed Assault will be the same as OFP concerning scripting and stuff, with extra commands and stuff, AA addons will work with OFP, so the forum can stay same, maybe add the word AA around in thread descriptions

So what new scripting developements do we think there will there be?

Can't really seem to find anything on the official forums as yet

Planck · « **Reply #23 on:** 20 May 2005, 00:43:28 »

Well the official forums have a new forum anyway.

Being too old in the tooth to be anything but cynical. I suspect people that 'armed assault' (tm). Will be correctly versioned and percieved by us as OFP1.5.

My gut tells me that this is OFP with re-rendered eye candy to bring the engine up to newer graphics and that will be about it. It will be (my view) an interim release much like Resistance. New improved everythings but nothing radical engine wise.

Bis long intended to improve the sound qualities so a bit there too. And some improved online play. If your read between the lines of the highlights, bis aren't saying there's anything new, engine wise. And frankly, with their concentration on VBS1 which has made inroads with reliable profits from non gamers (read non cd pirate regimes), the emphasis on something completely new, isn't there.

The latter sentence goes a long way to explain Codemasters disgruntled exit from the scene.

The press release does mention a 'new' engine Mikero, but we will just have to wait for more detailed details........hehehehehe.

Just eye candy Homefry, although it is nice, I'm more interested in engine improvements. ;D ;D

Yeah, right I note your cyncisn too Planck.

The point is WE are the editing centre. People will be looking to us for something other than gushing over exuberence. They might go to the Czech site for the latest flashy addon. But they come here for reviews on them and testing. So we can afford to be a little more analytical and a little more critical of what is NOT new.

Assuming this release (if it happens, big if chaps, I'm deeply suspicious) will be 'compatible', I'd expect we will have a pretty strong team effort to check that fact.

Am thinking ahead here to ofpec strategy to get maximum hits on the site from people transiting from ofp1 -> whatever. Becoming a premier site for compatibility fixes and information....
