Yeah, SP was my main time spent with the game. It was a major bother to wait for players to join or to wait for the round to end before joining in the past.

I've played MP Coop with friends (works perfectly), MP on Aus servers and tried international servers. Any server with a bad ping was unplayable really. But when it was good, it worked well.

I hope the net code is all fixed up now. Sounds like they've done a fair bit of work with it in order to allow many players (60+) to join. Some of the improvements were due to getting OFP running on Xbox-live. I sometimes wonder whether it may be optimised for LAN based gaming, since VBS1 & VBS2 are likely to be run on a LAN only in the army.

Regardless of the simulation quality of the game, I doubt it will appeal to all FPS players, so only some players will move across to it.
