Novalogic's first Delta Force game. I downloaded the demo and - POOF - I was hooked.
OFP is still amazing and I'm anxiously looking forward to the sequel, Armed Assault (ArmA).
With Delta Force games, you could just hop into an MP game at anytime. This flexibility allowed me to play a lot of MP, even if not in large contiguous amounts of time. I went crazy over some CTF maps but my favorite role was sniping from 1.5km away with my Barret. I was also very cruel with a k-bar knife in hand. Woohoo!
OFP doesn't allow you to join an MP game already in progress (ArmA will). As such, I rarely had the chance to meet server game schedules. In addition, I devoted so much time to my OFP FAQ that I hardly had any actual time left for gaming - even SP. But I did succeed in publishing numerous modified SP missions and campaigns, including my "Pigs Can Fly" campaign, which showed off a great A-10 Warthog addon by some named Diesel. I also developed an elementary resource database method, called AMORE (
Avon's
Multimedia for
Ofp
REpository), which makes it much easier to reuse audio and script files in multiple missions. Unfortunately, it never gained wide popularity.
I wound up buying SH3 because I had previously played the demos of Enigma: Rising Tide and I subsequently bought the game. Besides being fun, the advantages in these sub games is my control of my real life schedule, though playing SH3 as a member of the WaW team was extremly time consuming.
So there you have this online warrior's career in a nutshell.
