Operation Flash point 2 Realistic Tactical Shooter

Just like far cry 2 was nothing like far cry expect this to be nothing like op flash. It may be a good game but if you're looking for real op flash then get arma/arma2.

Yeah Arma 2 will be closer to the original. However they are different games. This is infantry focused sim where as arma 2 is a full warefare sim.

dragon rising also doesnt have 3rd person infantry unlike arma 2 which IMO is fairly bad in a game like this as it allows you to be in cover while still being able to look over cover. Having said that I'll still get arma 2 even though judging by first reports its a bug fest....I didnt expect anything less from BIS though :D

Its great that 2 games like this are coming to the XBOX 360.

The blood splat on the screen on that recent vid isnt a hit indicator....its your team mates blood hitting your face. They have the same effect with dirt hitting your face for rounds and messing up your vision.

The idea of half realistic ballistics is something that really gets my attention, having to judge elevation and possible wind speed for long range sniper shots is going to bring a whole new aspect to the tactical shooter that hasn't been explored really at all recently.

Very much looking forward to this one :)

Yeah I've seen/heard one of the devs talking about sniper class basically being the hardest....getting hold of a good sniper is going to be tough and an asset to your team rather then having everyone jumping round with snipers popping heads left right and centre.....You'll also have an MP5 back up as a sniper in this game.

There wont be any ranking or unlocking of weapons, you'll be playing for the experience and the experience alone.

I really know a fair bit about this game so feel free to shoot the questions my way.
 
I'm sooooo looking forward to both OpFor2 & Arma 2 and glad they are being developed for consoles. You always have the argument of these games should only be on PC but I'd never throw my hat into that ring. Especially as it will run & look better on my 360 compared to my current specs on my lappy! :)

Well that's the thing...the console market is starved of games like these and there's loads of cross platform owning these day. Also a lot of pc gamers that I know have moved over to consoles and put them selves in a very compromised position in regards to software. These 2 titles will go along way to address that. Plus with IL2 coming out this year for consoles it seems like the year of the sim.
 
So am I right in saying Arma2 is made by those that made Opflashpoint?

If so, I'm more excited about Arma 2 now :D

Yeah arma 2 is made by BIS who made the orginal OFP and arma. Arma 2 is actually out now in germany....first review wasnt very good as the title of it was something like "arma 2 disastrous bugfest" however it seems there was a problem with the review copy. From users point of view its going down fairly well but still a lot of bugs being mentioned but its to be expected with BIS really and I'm sure it will get fixed up. Its using the same engine as arma so if you liked that game i'm sure you'll love it.

Its out official (on PC only) in Germany tomorrow so the reviews will be in then. No word of when the 360 version (sorry ps3 but looks like a no go) will be out due to them not having a publisher lined up....currently that's even stopping them from officially confirming it.

Oh and this just in.....more gameplay footage in bound today plus a hands on preview from IGN will post it up.
