Hell no. Mainly because there's not enough incentive not to get hit. A game of incredibly unsafe extreme woodsball (velocity cranked up all the way on all the guns, ballistic eyepro mandatory, gas masks with no canister preferable, no minimum range, and limited hand-to-hand allowed) with an OUTSTANDING group of referees (to call vital hits and armor shots) and a nice group of extremely well-geared players beats the hell out of airsoft.Tedy567 said:
I wasn't even going to mention that, but I would call it the killing blow.Starke said:
I don't know about that. I've played with groups of people with heavily modded rifles that shot somewhere around 500fps. Almost every shot drew blood (if you weren't properly outfitted that is) and ballistic eye protection was also mandatory. There was a minimum engagement range for safety reasons, and they used pyrotechnics for grenades.griever0311 said:
It was actually within a week or two of September 11th, so the game got completely lost due to other issues.tsb247 said:
Yeah, I don't think even get to the 'death lasers' bit, I got the 'red barrels' line, and then the medkit, and stopped watching. I'll give them credit that bleeding out should occur, but, a f---ing medkit?tsb247 said:
Operation Battlefield: Dragon Rising should be the new game title. Seriously... You can absorb bullets, heal yourself at any time (well, stop the bleeding anyway) via a medkit, and the very inclusion of the red barrels is just beyond forgiveness. I also hate the fact that the weapon you are carrying appears to be pasted in your field of view like in every other FPS (other than the original OFP or ArmA games). Do people really sprint with their weapon up like that? No, they do not.Starke said:
R is not built upon the framework set by it's predecessor.
ArmA and ArmA 2 are the true flashpoint sequels, I love how the pistol floats on screen even when you're viewing down the sights. Still f---ing red barrels!? I understand some deviation, but holy s---. It boggles my mind in many many ways.tsb247 said:Operation Battlefield: Dragon Rising should be the new game title. Seriously...

But anyhow... If you haven't watched that whole video, I would recommend it. If you can stomach it, it demonstrates just how much Codemasters has bastardized the Operation Flashpoint name. OFP
Somehow using the map editor to create multiple empty planes in flight is hilarious because they all crash in formation. Though the map editor was always my favorite part of OFP.GrinningManiac said:
It's not a bad suggestion though. You play a genetically engineered super-soldier, your armor actually is providing a HUD for you, you're restricted to a pair of weapons instead of running around with an arsenal, and you can't take that much damage before rolling over and going toes up. Finally in the regenerating shield system actually makes sense in the Halo series, unlike Far Cry 2, Quantum of Solace, or CoD4. So, given the setting it's not that unrealistic.Reuq said:
