I have access to internet at home now and would love to join the frenzy. :D

 

I'm want to get ROF, but read there's very, very few people online. Also had my heart set on Clod but changed my mind after a few days of reading the banana forum.

 

I currently have these: Aliens Swarn, America's Army 3 and Team Fortress 2, but none of them really do anything for me. Not to mention the fact that I almost puked 10 seconds into AA3, and I suck at the other two. I'm asking because perhaps some of you are like me and, for some unknown reason, just can't seem to get into anything that doesn't defy gravity.

Right now it's BMS, but flew FC2 the other day. I have DCS-BS1 and BS2 installed, but haven't flew BS2 cause my TrackIR won't wotk with it, plus my FPS are very low. I also have ArmaII install, but haven't played it online in months, need to get back into it. There is just not enough time in the day /week or month to play. I'm busy with work, school and kids. My normal gaming times are Friday and Saturday night from 11pm to 4-5am depending if me and the wife go out and I fall asleep when we get back.

>1100 hours of TF2, it's practically the only MP title I have played regularly the last 5 years. BFBC2 and BF3 I quit after a very short time because of their idiot player bases, not necessarily the games themselves. Tribes Ascend seems like it could be fun, but I have tried it online only once as I am concentrating on all my unplayed SP games at the moment. MP is on backburner for the foreseeable future.

ARMA 2 operation arrowhead, minecraft, world of tanks, and killing floor. I can't think of any other games I have been playing online.

I assume you are in South Africa and therefore Central Euorpean Time Zone?

Few people online in RoF is very relative. RoF has a very good offline-gameplay therefore more player are assumed to do their flying offline, but in the evening you always have a several populated servers - from the standard airquake around the lake to coop servers. The good compromise is the "Syndicate" server, which has balanced missions, descent players and is quite popular.

 

I am alos trying to get back into online-flying and RoF is the only real choice I see. DCS seems to be limited to 2 puplic servers with a few players on and on which I got teamkilled in 2 out 3 sorties. So I gave it up. BS1 and FC2 could be worth a try, I always liked the 51th server, but I lost my settings and my spare time is very limited - so I prefer to get my flying fix with RoF. ;)

 

Can´t play IL2 1946 anymore due to CloD syndrom...

World Of Tanks is my primary at the moment, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 (until CloD is fixed), occasionally DCS A-10C or BS2. Haven't played ArmA2 online in quite a while. Had a server up from ArmA 1 thru ArmA2: OA and, well, just needed to take some time away from it after almost 5 years straight of almost nightly playing lol!

I wish I could play fps because more often than not, I'd get extreme nausea. I stay away from them because I don't know which one would get me sick. For example, I tried Team Fortress 2 and did not get the urge to puke--though I only played it for few minutes--few seconds in AA3 and I wanted to quit due to motion sickness. But if I'm going to get a fps it'll be ARMA2. I just hope it doesn't make me puke.

 

World of Tanks looks good though and I notice there is a large local clan of my countrymen.

 

SNAFU,

 

I'm in SE Asia. Can you give me your take regarding Clod? I really, really reaaaally want this sim, but can't decide.

SNAFU,

Currently CloD is great for low-alt-airquake-furballs, sightseeing and it is really fun to blow up trains and ships - if you have the suitable hardware (with 4GB RAM and 1GB VRAM you will have to tune down a lot). It is also great if you have profound C# knowledge, but unfortunatly that is all for now.

 

I didn´t even think about launching the sim for about 4 months now but logged about 400hrs in steam, but I spent 98% of this in the FullMissionBuilder. Finally I decided the sim is not in the steady state yet to built and trust on - similar like DCS - why built missions if they will not work anymore after the next patch?

 

Anyhow, a memory leak is limiting every online play to one sortie, then restart game, before your RAM reaches a certain limit and has no depth, no context to history (mulit-engine-planes accelerating the memory leak and large AI formations or groups causing a general lag of all units). So online play in CloD is currently easy to summarize in something like "look how good I can shoot you up, while you warm up your engine" and generally "my *** is longer than yours".

 

The dev. are working on a general overhaul of the graphic engine and a beta-patch is overdue for "two weeks - be sure".

 

Well, besides CloD is available for 12€ in some online shops and is worth this - at least to support the poor guys in Moscow, hiding from the mob. ;)

 

I suggest to wait and check the 1C forum a week after the next patch is realesed and listen to the general complains. If the beta patch fixes the memory leak you can have at least the online-gangbang-fun, if not, well abandom all hope for "Battle of Moscow". For the while RoF is for free and great in single-player, if you do not find enough multi-player action. (If you are 6-8 hrs ahead of the CET, I can´t tell, thats when I am still hanging around in my office.)

I flew around in A-10C online a few times but that's about it. I didn't know and still don't know enough to be of any use to others. As for Clod, I'll hold off until a few weeks after the patch. Thanks, SNAFU. I'll probably end up getting ROF to scratch the urge to dogfight while waiting for the mother of all warbirds: DCS Stang. :D
