lol, jag ser fram mot cykeln! Den borde ju till och med slå ctrl's traktor i "stealth-mode". Vi kanske till och med kan bilda en liten cykelskytte-pluton... :p

[Jotte]

Trevlig läsning. :)
Hoppas de fixar antalet patroner i Glocken & Berettan när de ändå är där och pillar.

Finns det någon mer uppskattning av när den släpps?

[Jotte]

Ajabaja granQ, du glömde den översta raden i den återpost.. ;) :p :D

"The patch will contain over 100 new features, improvements and bug fixes including:

.... [och här kommer listan]....."

[granQ]

sorry för det jotte.. kan nämna att linux dedicerade supporten är på gång men kommer troligen släppas separant från patchen..

Ser i stort sett bra ut, men vissa saker stör jag mig på som "vapenintresserad". ;)
Revolver är inte långsamt att skjuta med, rekordet i snabbskytte med handeldvapen är skjutet med revolver. Det går helt enkelt att skjuta den snabbare än vad en automat klarar av att ladda om. Sen tar laddningen lite längre tid och den rymmer normalt bara 6 patroner.

Tokarev strongest, Glock most accurate. :-OO

Sen brukar dom ofta göra studsare med cylindermekanismer förtvivlat långsamma. Jag kan nog hålla jämna steg de första fem skotten med min gamla mauser mot de flesta värnpliktiga med Ak-4, sen måste jag ladda om förstås... ;)

Kan bli kul att vara ute och cykla i OPF. :D

[Jotte]

Tja man kan nog inte säga att OPF är sådär jätte bra i andra vapenhänsenden heller.
Tex så är eldhastigheterna på ett flertal av vapnen för låga av "gameplay" skäl :-OO  . HK G3A4 ballistiken stämmer inte till närmelsevis överrens med vad jag minns om den närmast identiska AK-4:an hade och dessutom är slagkraften i den löjligt låg (krävs ofta 2+ skott för att fälla lede Fi även på nära håll också vid träff mitt i bålen) plus att den låter som ett salongsgevär. :-OO  Sköt man utan hörselskydd hörde man ju Katarina klockor, typ. :D

Men totalt sett gör det lite ändå med stutsande stridsvagnar och andra underligheter. :) Det är förbannat kul som coop lir mot AI:n.
Vi ser gärna ditt "ansikte" ikväll kl19.00 Mikke.  :)

Angående ljud så tycker jag allt ljud i originalspelet är lite mesigt. Framförallt smällarna från automatvapen. Om ni inte har testat så ladda ner Mungers ljudpaket. Denna påverkar inte onlinespel och använder sig av Satchels ljud för automatvapen. Helt underbart och mycket realistiskt.

Denna ersätter bara sound.pbo-filen, och är lätt att återfå med backup av densamma.
