Always remember: OH NO ONE IS DOWN https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/527/8874aa7c-4c58-4fdf-99ae-f987df843f14/OH NO MY HAT IS DOWN.jpg

YouTube being shit right now, videos been in 360p for nearly an hour now.

While I love the original game, Red River was still a fun game in it's own right, the Coop was really fun to play with friends even if the dialogue drug on. Also hey, I'd never expect patches I designed to be posted on FP.

MOVE 100 METERS TO THAT BUSH

Man this entire video is bringing up huuuuuuuuuge nostalgia. I remember as a kid, I found the developer's email addresses from their "about" or "meet the team" tab on their webpage, and used to ask them endless questions/harass them about the game before it was released. I remember always visiting the OFP forums like crazy; used to remember one of the mods there.... what was it... Placebo? I think his name was. ANYWAY. Where the heck can I get one of those hats?!

It's a patch that MrWasabi worked on, and is being sold by Far East Industries. I put it on this hat

Video just straight up not working for anyone else?

OFP: Cold War Crisis had one of the greatest modding scene. So many mods and so many good ones too. I had nothing but good memories with the game.

OFP: Cold War Crisis is the first game I ever had to also touch with modding thanks to the accessible editor. Second one would be Warcraft 3's WarEdit. Despite not knowing how triggers worked as a kid, I was amazed how many units and vehicles I could freely play as and place on the map in the OFP editor.

Played the shit out of it in my youth. Making broken messes of missions in the editor as a main past time. I remember finishing the campaign where you capture the enemy bad guy, and mid cut-scene of confronting him my soldier just got sniped in the face while the dialogue continued.

One of my favorite missions was when you were captured by the Soviets, and it started on your way towards a helicopter that will take you to another island that will imprison you for a while before they execute you. If you were quick enough and get lucky not to get shot, you could steal the helicopter and finish the mission quick that way.

I toyed around with these games a fuckload as a youth but was always complete dogshit at them. I can't recall completing a single mission

OFP was my childhood and pretty much defined my taste in games from then on. As some youtuber described, it's an evolved form of the "Army Men" toys - but this time round instead of the scenarios just being in your head, you get to actually have them play out autonomously and participate in them directly. A not-insignificant portion of my life has been spent fucking around in its editor as well as those of the rest of the ArmA series. It's an entirely different paradigm when you play it with a community in anything close to an organised fashion. Cold War Crisis and Resistance's campaigns are still the best in the series and I recommend revisiting them through the Cold War Rearmed mod for ArmA 2, which even managed to replicate the Cobras sometimes crashing into the forest in the first mission. Dragon Rising and Red River can die in a fire. They failed to recreate exactly what made the original and its progeny special, making huge concessions for console-friendliness and "mass appeal", resulting in it occupying a medium that satisfied neither crowd.

Makes me sad nobody does Arma 3 patches. Csat and their werid bug aesthetic has really grown on me.

I love OPF nowadays because even a shitty toaster can handle huge 100 vs 100 tank battles

I knew this guy sounded familiar, this is the dude who also "found" the cut HECU grunt scientist sequence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zl1L0oWVoU
