Anyone had any experiance with the original versions ( obv` not me). This new one looks ******* sweet. Cant wait.

edit - No disguised swearing, please read the rules
 
I loved the first one back when it came out. I played maybe 3 or 4 missions of the campaign and never bothered with it. I had followed the game since the demo, and the real fun came with making your own missions. There was just so much mucking around you could do in the game world, since the developers had made everything available to you. Me and a friend used to put invincibility on and strap like 100 satchel packs to a Jeep and see how high we could launch it. Then the devs made it possible for us to mod the game properly and I ran a modding website for about a year with my own creations. After the first expansion came out in 2002 I got bored with it. That's a whole year of obsessive OFP playing. Not bad for 1 game.

This was all possible because of the sheer openness of the game, allowing the player to do what they want in it rather than just playing preset missions. I really hope that Codemasters intend for OFP2 to be like OFP1 in this sense.
 
Armed assault also ok have u given that a try ?[/QUOTE]


Havent played any of them, meant to, but got hooked into BF2. No other shooter got a look in.
 
OFP2 will probably be VERY different from OFP1, ArmA and ArmA2 are the true sequals to the series. Although OFP2 will still have large scale battles and Sqaud based play it probably will not contain any grittyness to the diffculty and attempted realism of the game. I'm only expecting CoD4 in more open enviroments with this game. I cant see it being any other way really.
 
I loved BF2 to bits, but I did want a more realistic game/mil` sim.
And you guys dont think its going to cut it then. boo hoo.

But theres always the new Arma to have a look at. Time will tell.
 
Can't wait i'm chomping at the bit for this sim lol

Have a look at the presentaion of it on u-tube etc awesome

From what i've read arma is a hackers paradise :(
 
The first one is still probably my favourite ever shooter, especially for single player.

The enemy could kill you from hundreds of metres away if you were out of cover. It made for really tense games as you could only save once per level.
 
is teaser using in game engine just prerendered cgs? looks amazing

and is it coming this winter or something 2009 q1?

Also looking forward to this although I've just got ArmA so that'll keep me going for a while as it's not exactly the easiest game I've played.LOL I am really liking it though and can't wait for ArmA 2 and OFP 2. To the OP...I'd defiitely give ArmA a try if you liked OFP. It has the same openess and a tonne of mods already out there.
 
Q1 2009 so i've read

Some in the know think it will be late feb - early march if all things go to plan

Hope it stays Q1 anyways :)

apparenlty there's going to be a 4 player campaign too, cant wait !

but in the mean while we should have a nice game of arma :p
 
Hopefully OFP2 will fill that gap between Cod4 and Arma. I'm also looking forward to Arrma2 as this looks really good from massive feedback by the Arma community. I have read that the new version will use additional processors for AI calculations. Lets hope they improve the game physics.
 
Some new screenshots although they all look like renders to me:

As we've reported during last year's E3 "the game puts players right smack in the middle of a conflict between the US and China. You'll be fighting on a fictional island in the Pacific Ocean and from what we've learned it's going to have plenty of wide, open spaces for combat. The developers are, above all, devoted to creating a down-to-earth combat sim and that relates to nearly every aspect of the game, from weapons and vehicles to the environment and characters that traverse through it. They've specified that the game contains 70 different weapons, 50 highly detailed vehicles, while the island itself stretches across 130 square miles of dynamic and meticulously created landscape."


Haven't heard much on this game at all really but hoping its released this year.
 
One thing I'm loving with AA at the moment is the MP Warfare mode they introduced on 1.14 patch. I played 1 round over Christmas that took 12 hrs, you start with all the towns under enemy control and have to clear them one by one.

Not long until AA2 I'm looking forward to that. As for OpFlash2 well I'll wait and see on that one.
