How's The Campaign?

[Hey Tubes!]

Eventually I'll get in to the multiplayer once Comcast gets my connection fixed.... but I've had a ton of interest in this game as I love WWII stuff.

Seems like a great time to pick it up, but I'd like to get some impressions on the campaign before I pull the trigger as I won't be playing online just yet. Thanks in advance.

Buggy in some parts, theres other campaigns on my site:

well along with the campaign there are premade single missions and a fairly simple editor in which you can create your on scenarios as well

Dude, sorry to break this for you... But, there is no MP. Dont feel bad thoug, It was never popular to begin with. I once played with 8 ppl, that's the highest ammount, Ive ever seen in a then public server. Just to make it clear for you, Gamespy is dead, ergo this game is dead. You might be able to play it, but you would have to find a clan or person with a dedicated server. I suggest you buy arma 2, and get the I44 mod. This game was based on stolen assets from that mod, aswell as the game engine. Sorry buddy, I love ww2 games to, but this is a sad sad affair...

Derp to answer your question about the camp, its okay, if you have patience and willingness to command in an Arma game. Its not to long, and its very buggy. I dont think the game was ever updated since it came out. This is more a mod than a game. GET I44 for arma 2!!! ♥♥♥♥ THIS ♥♥♥♥!

Have Fun

[Hey Tubes!]

Thanks for the replies. I have Arma 3 and know a decent group who play missions online together, with a server etc etc so I'm good in the MP front once my Internet is fixed.

In the meantime I've been craving a WWII shooter. Haven't had a decent campaign in a while so I thought I'd give it a shot for 12 bucks. Would I have to convert this to an ArmA 3 mod to get the most out of the game?

Simple editor, its the arma2CO editor, and its far from simple, but its simple enough to create a simple scnerio yes but complex enough to create some amazing stuff.

You should get your facts straight, and stop speading false information:

1. Iron Front's content was original content created by Awar themselves who are former Libmod team from Operation Flashpoint, the content is and was created from scatch, all their work including their animations can be seen in their OFP mod.

Wheres the proof? you may ask, the proof is in the name of the files, each file has the word Lib in it, which stands for Liberation, and that means what?
the Developers (Awar) whom i know by their names, team name back in the early 2000's when OFP was the main game, name was Liberation 1941-1945 their website is still up to this day:
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/lib4145/&ei=yE92Tsm4ApKKsAK9ieGLBQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=8&sqi=2&ved=0CFsQ7gEwBw&prev=/search%3Fq%3DLiberation%2B1941-1945%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1592%26bih%3D688%26prmd%3Dimvns

Now back in 2009 the team were working on and porting, their mod and creating new content to release in Arma2 heres the orignal thread http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?86488-%E2%80%9Cliberation-1941-1945%E2%80%9D&highlight=Liberation+1941-1945

at the top of the new page

my post seen here

also read a few pages back as it was said they would create a standalone game, aka Iron front.
IF was Developed by Awar who is the Lib mod team, Published by Deepsilver, and the engine (Arma2CO version) was licensed by BIS, X1 another company had their hand in its production too.

2. Game engine wasn't stolen, idk where you get that idea from, but the engine was licensed to Awar by BIS, the engine is a version of the Arma2CO engine, thats why the engine version for the game is not the same as it is in Arma2CO currently.

3.There is MP, there a re many groups and servers:
http://ironfront.forumchitchat.com/?forum=284524
3 of the top IF groups are Major Mayhem's group, Chief's server/group, and the Russian Hard Mode group, all of them play vanilla, IFA2, and IFA3 versions of Iron front.

Suggest you do all 3, you can play both vanilla, IFA2, and IFA3, theres tons of missions, mods, textures, scripts, including sound mods, and a mod I built, including my team built all on my website: www.MissionRepository.com

Any questions let me know.
