Massive price drop!

Wasn't it $1,500 a coupla years back?

I wonder what game they're using now?

Those addons do look sweet. The character models are nice. But it's VERY
like BAS. Either BAS and BIS are both very good at representing real life
models - or BIS copied BAS.

I can't quite work it out... What *exactly* is the VBS relationship to
OpFlaps?

a lot more expensive

a lot more exclusive

mega mulitplayer

A bit like the way DF was supposedly 'used'
by the USMC, VBS was originally developed
from OFP as a US military training program.


Usama was the first customer

What exaclty does this software allow you to do? Can you play it as a player
??? In that cases it is a 'corperate' version of OFP

They probably have a Star Trek 'holodeck' by now so they figure they'll let
us peasants pay to play with their old toys :)
I might just have a punt though for the hell of it.

LOL, that is quote of the day: "VBS is the "Corporate" edition of OFP"

Basically - VBS IS OFP with the following enhancements:

1. Planning module (presumably in military language and format)
2. Debriefing module (again, in miltary jargon)
3. A selection of BAS-style addons

Nothing more, nothing less.

It would be interesting to see how they will manage their
change/configuration control process with regard to keeping OFP2 and VBS2
versions concurrent.

There would be nothing wrong with dropping OFP and releasing VBS2 in
military and civilian configurations.

Obviously, VBS has animated animals, which are highly valuable as "motion
decoys", distracting the player's eyes from real threats. I believe it also
has a working artillery system.

Does it have mid-game joining, though?

Doubt it. But the whole BAS/BIS thing seems to be a sensistive one right
now.

It would be interesting to add random or scripted movement from the
civilians in thier houses and cars etc... Mass civilian evacuation, I always
found OFP a bit scarce regarding general people going about thier business.
Obviously thier business would be limited in a war :)

I still stand by my comment that its a corperate version of OFP.

Maybe the USMC will get a public server up sometime....then we can go and
show em whos boss in OFP.

I think we'd be one of those 'asymmetric threats' theyre always going on
about. Little do they know it only *appears* that we're not organised
resistance hehe.

Lots of the models you recognise were made by the same modeller that once
worked with BAS, and since got hired for VBS. Same with the textures. Simple
as that.

Oh, I see. Well, good for him!

No reason someone who makes good stuff for OFP can't get hired and make
money doing it.

Yeah, you almost wonder if this is going to separate the OFP men from the
OFP boys, so to speak.

Will there be an elite group of VBS1 players connecting to just a few
servers online?

What are the chances that the Animals Module consists of simple .pbo addon
files that can also be used in regular OFP:R?
