Im with you.I just picked this game up again and thought maybe it was fixed especially after all the downloading of patches I had to do.So I went and tried the MP and holy god it was the same crap all over again.Im just kicking myself in the ass again.I hope That I learn from my mistake like Codemasters does with the next RD game.RD had so much potential to being a great game and posibbly giving us something better then your everday shooter but man did they let us down.I cant believe this is the EGO engine that DIRT runs off.Looks like crap and plays like even more crap.Dam you codemasters.

@Psfan999: Those people who disagreed are suffering from buyer's remorse and they somehow convinced themselves that the game is good because they spent their possibly hard earned $50/€60 on it.

I enjoy tedious, lol. Seriously, OFDR was not meant to compete with games like MW2, but more against Ghost Recon and PC games like ARMA. It's more sim than action, and I personally love that style. In many ways OFDR was very ambitious and achieved a lot on a console but it also had a lot of horrible failures which may have been ok if Codemasters had gotten them fixed quickly. Instead Codemasters basically blew off the problems, took months to release a few patches and then released some overpriced DLC that gave you what was advertised on the package of the original game. It is my opinion that Codemasters intentionally misled gamers by not disputing the widely held belief that this would be an open world game with no boundaries on the island setting of Skira. The package of the game actually reads "Wage open world warfare across all 220km2 of Skira". To me, than means an open world where I can go where I want. That was not the case as all missions had boundaries where the game would end if you went outside the "zone" you were allowed in to do the mission. These areas were still pretty large, but certainly not "open world" as it is known to the gaming world and definitely not "all 220km2 of Skira". Instead we had to pay for the DLC to get the open world travel than had zero enemies and you could do nothing but explore an empty wasteland.

I've said it before that I will probably not purchase this game since I do not want to support Codemasters and their shoddy business practices. If they made some serious changes to their methods I may consider it because I really love the shooter sim genre, but I'm not holding my breath. I would expect Codemasters to probably change the game to go more mainstream for sales numbers.

OF:DR was crawling around in bushes and sniping from long distance. It was ridiculously boring, and I usually enjoy military sims on PC.

That's basically what a FPS sim is. To me there was a lot more tactical strategy involved compared to most shooters. Some who prefer a faster pace see it as boring, others prefer it since it's more realistic. Not everything is a race and the engagement distances in OFDR were much more realistic than just about anything on consoles. A great concept for those who like it, but just horribly flawed and lacking the support it needed.

It was time for a change :(

Like I said... crappy to mediocre. I liked Overlord too. Didn't care for Operation Flashpoint. But eve liking Overlord, I have no illusions that it isn't a mediocre game.
