It's pretty much dead; so I think they removed the forum for it and grouped it into general

I didn't even bother w/ the demo after reading through some of the posts posted here at SimHQ, it just seemed like a waste of time.

Actually it's a great co-op game...just a lot of issues still and IMO, they dropped the ball with MP... so much potential.

Bingo.
Worth owning IMO, due to SP and coop campaign, but MP...I hope they get it right next time.

I liked it.
Now, I just bought ArmA2 this weekend at Best Buy because it was on sale for $30. We'll see if I continue playing OFP:DR.

You have GOT to be kidding me. I thought I was getting a hell of a deal for $30.
Sheesh.

OFDR is the one that's on sale for 7.49, not ARMA2
All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the corps!

You guys can expect absolutely no help from me when it comes to any future Codemasters games, whether F1 or any DR sequel or anything else. It's very easy to sit on some poxy internet site and pass judgement on something without knowing the problems it faced in development or how lucky we were that it wasn't just plain canned. Magnum, you wouldn't know what goes in to making a game if it jumped up and smacked you on your fat face.

I bought ArmA2 right when it came out with every intention of FINALLY getting myself into tactical-squad games like that ... tried over and over to enjoy it, and just never "got it". I always felt like I was fumbling around, unsure of what to do, clumsily grasping for controls. It seemed to have so much potential, but I just couldn't coax it out -- or maybe it was just beyond me, the first-person equivalent of the study-sim.
Then a few months ago I tried the OFDR demo, and it just felt incredibly more intuitive and fluid to me -- nowhere near perfect, but a better fit to me, personally, than ArmA2. It was also quite a bit better looking, IMO. But then I reasoned that given the limited gaming time I had anyway, it made no sense to plunge 50 more bucks into another game that I might never put more than a few hours into. So I uninstalled the demo and promptly forgot all about it.
Then yesterday I see Steam has it for 75% off at $7.49. Hell yes I'll bite!
So now I'm back in. Is this game really dead? I hope not. Although as with most games, I think I'd be content even with just single-player alone, I'd really love to run some co-op.

GregP,
PM me if you want to try some co-op with OFPDR. The game is still sitting on my shelf and I would really like to give it a go as I have heard that it shines in co-op mode. Fortunately our time zones are only 1 hour apart.
