Vehicles could be disabled in various ways, say taking out a tank tread/car tire, or destroying the rotars on a helicopter. Legs could be broke on soldiers too, forcing them to crawl.
I remember this one addition from a player was a star wars speeder bike, kinda fun to play with, but hard not to crash and die...

Sounds like a cool game. I'm sorry I missed it. What happened to it though? I don't hear much about it these days. Was it buggy? Laggy? Not enough people? Too many cheaters? 64 players total though...I don't know if I could go back to that after experiencing PS.

Night combat? Hmm. That would be way after Navy and Space, I think. I'll have to wait until the priority stuff is completed before putting energy into an idea that the Devs say can't be done. So we'll see.

Thanks, Fatal

Nope, no programming experience, just graphic arts, multimedia, and video editing...and creative writing, voice acting, photography, history, sculpture, music, sloth, gluttony, lust, etc.

I'm hoping to get Planetside Idealab included on the official site's Fan page, but I'm uncomfortable allowing that until the site is "complete": that is, the general game info like weapons, conts, guides, and such are in.

Yeah, that's what happens when multiple players post questions when I'm not online. Hope it doesn't annoy people too much.

Thanks for the mucho-supporto.

Last I heard they were making a 2nd one, and an Xbox Version. I guess i should try to find out.

Edit: here is a link to the OFP 2 website http://ofp2.lobogames.com/index.php

Planetside idea: TR max's that can accually kill something! New and exciting idea eh?

FatalLight · 2004-06-18, 04:23 PM

How long does it take you to write out one thing in your queue?

Nice scenery, a little fuzzy, but I can see the potential. I have opflashpoint.org in my favorites already but I'll add that one too so I can keep up with the release.

I'll let another website deal with MAXs.

Depends on the idea. The CE's deployables status window took only 3 min to make. Zeusprime and I worked for weeks on Command Squads. Urban Areas and deployable emplacements has taken months.
