Tripwire ever consider Modern Day?

[The_Cook]

Has Tripwire considered doing a modern day style RO? Something for us guys that would love an alternative to Counter-Strike, BF2, and Rainbow Six?

I love RO it's the most "Realistic" of the shooters to date. Rainbow Six had it for a long while, but then RO came along. I wouldn't even need tanks or vehicles in a modern day RO. Maybe a humvee here and there but no tanks. Make it take place in Iraq, or some made up "desert" country. With maps that encompass a few city blocks. Intracate interiors for houses, the abillity to blow open doors, lock doors, unlock doors, claymores.... basically Rainbow Six and SWAT4 toys, BF2 style city maps. If you leave out "heavy armor" maybe you can take the unused cpu to really flesh out body armor and it's effects, or richochet, and stuff. Just a really good infantry based fps.

I can't play CS:S, BF2, or Rainbow Six anymore because they feel way to arcadey, I need a replacement!

Check out Insurgency, the Half-life 2 mod in the works, it has several people who previously worked on RO.

more shots and info here and here

Or check America's Army www.americasarmy.com (I think). It's the most realistic modern day FPS I've played, and it's developed by the US Army to promote themselves and train soldiers. It's free to download and play, so try it, I think you'll like it if you like RO.

OMFG!!!!!

I can't wait to play it!

If it has as many guns as CS:S, but plays like RO, I'll never play another game again.

AA is realism's best, but not much toys =(

And remember, with AA, when you are dead, you are. You sit out the remainder of the round.

Sorry to be picky but OFP grabbed it in 2001 and (under dispute) still is...

 

[mistk�fer]

@jono: dont think 3rd person is realistic
but youre right, ofp is a really nice and realistic game, looking forward to armed assault!

I'd actually start playing America's Army again if they had a server option to get rid of the crosshair. I would probably even play it more then Red Orchestra.

Battlefield 2 ****s because of it's cone of fire. Iron sights in that game are merely a mask of the crosshair. After the first two bullets, your shots go everywhere BUT where the iron sight is.

Insurgency is a game I've been looking forward to since January this year. The devs on the INS team are way too secretive about media and **** though so I haven't been following it much lately... not that there is much to follow anyways. This doesn't mean that I can't wait for it to come out anyways.

RnL looks like it's going to be some competition for RO.

 

[Archeoptrix]

All those mods sound great and all but until I see results I honestly can't count them as the yaren't something to actually play. Insurgency and Resistance and liberation are BOTH mods I'd love to see from what they promise, but until I can play them I'm still kind of boned.

I don't know how games like ArmA call themselves the ultimate simulation of combat when they have crosshairs. The first step to a realistic video game is dumping the crosshairs and making it with iron sights only.

Hopefully ArmA will have an option to ****can the crosshairs, or whatever you want to call the thing in your HUD.

OFP had this said option so i would be suprised if ArmA didnt.

The crosshairs in that game are quite realistic, though. It's split into two parts: the first part is where you want your gun to point, and the second part is where the muzzle of your gun actually is pointing, independantly of where you want it to point. The second part follows the first part around closely, but it twitches and jitters along with the gun.

Modern day settings bore me, world war 2 is starting to bore me too.

Except for RO of course...

People need to think of new and interesting settings for their FPS...thats what was good about RO in the first place.

 

[Bluehawk]

A Vietnam first person shooter of the calibre of Vietcong but with less "walk down the thin corridor of jungle blowing up caches as we go" maps.

More free-form and random.. do you find the VC cell's camp or don't you.. do you get ambushed or do you go through a whole patrol without any contact. Do your position get probed during the night? Do you get naded in your sleep while your hole's watchman is out taking a piss?

Basically I want Vietcong + Operation Flashpoint.

 

[SheepDip]

I find vietnam to be quite a saturated thing too. Sure it's never been done perfect, I'm tired of being an American soldier. I want to be a frenchman in world war 1, or a Korean in the Korean war, or be part of a resistance group during a major conflict, or a napoleonic soldier, or fighting in the spanish civil war. But I think the odds of seeing games set in these area's are much less likely to be made because there is no clear defined "Good Guy - Bad Guy" in the eyes of your average joe who knows nothing about the period.

That's why RO appeals. Nobody had made a FPS based on the eastern front in ww2. And a new theatre is a chance to learn a whole new set of stuff about it.

 

[aag567]

That'd be sweet, it'd be cool if all the houses were highly interactable so you could hide weapon caches. And it'd be neat to see it running on the UE3 engine.

You can turn off crosshairs in AA in Settings.

As of the most recent version of Americas Army, you can also drive the Humv and use the Crows AT missile against armor.

For modern realism there is no game better.
