OFP: Dragon Rising

[Aada]

How do you guys think this game will do?

I'm a bit let down by the multiplayer 4v4?

 

[Ctuchik]

i just hope it will have a good and fairly long story. getting tired of buying single player games only to find that i can play through that part in a few hours...

The multiplayer numbers are 16vs16 on PC and 4vs4 + 3 AI per person on consoles

Personally, it looks great on the 360... not seen the PS3 version, and PC looked pretty good as well.

Still, should be a good game given the amount of time the Dev's have put in

Yeah graphically the game looks awesome on the 360 probably one of the best i've seen.

I'd like to get this on the PC i have a Phenom 9650 quadcore 4gigs of ram and a 3870x2 do you think it would run okish?

Well it looks as though it should, I've seen it run on a lot lower (settings set right down mind)

On single player, the AI is very tough. They will almost always see you before you see them, but thats why using the cover and tree's around is a safer move then running in Rambo style, you won't last very long.

We had several Xbox 360 MP tests here and it was a great game to test out. Co-Op works very nicely. When you send your squads in and issue commands, there is rarely (i didn't see any) points where the guys get caught on surroundings or stuck because they don't know how to climb over a fence or similar (something that bugged me a lot when playing Arma2).

Not sure how the CoD4 groups will like it, its a mix of realism and arcade, you need a lot of patience to complete missions - which is a good and a bad thing some times... its a challange, thats for sure

Oh wow you have actually played it on the 360? did it play better then what you thought it would on a console? How was it using the control pad? Issuing commands ? How was the MP? Did you play a 4v4 if so was it good did only 8 players spoil it?

Yes
Yes, but I still prefer PC (KB+Mouse > all )
Ok, needed more practice though
Very quick and easy, lots of options but also quick enough not to confuse
MP was excellent fun, maps much better and more configurable than CoD4 (some maps in CoD are horrific, too small given large numbers)
4vs4 was intense, so given the PC version has 16vs16 I'm looking forward to playing more MP on that.

Thanks so much for the mini preview you just made it a day one buy for me.

Any idea what the specs of the PC you guys were playing that version on? 4v4 sounds ok but 16v16 sounds too good to pass up

Oh btw how were the choppers/etc to play in MP? or is the MP infantry only? did you managed to fly your guys in on a Blackhawk then bug out when the mission was won?

 

[Aada]

I agree on COD btw it's just ridiculous at times i much prefer a tactical shooter to COD any day of the week.

The spec of the machines, unsure, I know the machines laid out had been Alienware so I'd say Quad Cores, 8 GIG Ram, Dual GPUs, SSD drive the lot, someone said they cost about £3500 a pop to buy.

Didn't play Choppers but one of my mates has, said it was very different to Arma2 but hadn't played BF2 which was the only other recent FPS game I could think of at the time. I did see a few minutes footage recently that included MP and Chopper combat:

Check it out

 

[Aada]

Yeah i've watched all the vids but nice to know someone has actually played it and likes it.

 

[Raven]

Been looking forward to it but I had hoped it would be more than 16 v 16, will give it a try though come pay day.

I feel sorry for the console owners too...4 v 4?

 

[Aada]

4v4 sounds wrong but could be good guess time will tell, i'll probably get both versions as my LIVE buddies don't have gaming pcs.

This is defo the game i am most looking forward to playing this winter.

 

[Aada]

Don't suppose you could give anymore info about the multiplayer? Codemasters seems to be hiding this as much as possible just wondering if there is anything bad about it?

What are the two modes like?

How do vehicles work in it? are they randomly spawned in each sides base?

 

[Aada]

This game got a 90% score+classic award in the latest PC Zone Uk mag.

Looks set to be pretty good.

 

[00dave]

thinking of getting this on friday, anyone else getting it for 360?

I had the pc version on preorder with play but cancelled it yesterday although my pc would run it really good I just know I'll have more fun with friends on the 360 tbh.

Will pick it up for the pc at a later date.

 

[00dave]

ok you have to convince me to get it for the xbox 360, give me the pros for the xbox and cons for the pc lol

Better graphics and mission editor on pc and 16v16.

IMO better online service for friends makes it wash to play together on the 360 pretty much the only reason I'm getting it on that. Lol

Thats not helping if anything you've convinced me even more to get the pc version.

 

[Aada]

Aye I'd get that version if you don't really have any friends to go through it on co op.

 

[00dave]

Actually that was the main reason for me getting it on xbox

 

[Aada]

Just got my copy from shopto, top service.

gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay

asda are selling it for £27 but the only asda near me has fucking sold out!!! Does anybody now how often they restock their shelves at asda?

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (PC DVD): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games

18 quid for the PC version .

27 for the X360 on amazon though.

Yeah I've literally got that screen next to this one, all I have to do is push confirm order. But if I knew asda were restocking their shelves tonight I'd head over to Lincoln for midnight. I'm a very impatient person and the postal strike may effect my waiting time if I order online.

The postal strike will fuck you over big time.

Why didn't you order from Shopto? woulda had it by now only £28 there as well.

Have you got a local Tesco? i have seen it there for £35 but if you say Asda are doing it for £27 they will phone them up and price match.

 

[00dave]

too late, already ordered it from amazon.

I made my decision to get it for 360 when I saw it for £27 in asda.

Never mind still got oblivion to finish and microsoft flight sim to master lol.
