Arma vs Operation Flashpoint...

[weeble]

Having never played either of these in days gone by, and with Arma2 out and OFP2 coming out in October (potentially), am curious as to what the differences are.

I know the originals were written by a team that have now split, with Codemasters retaining the OFP brand. But what's the differences in gameplay amongst the two?

Have heard it's a bit like Crysis vs Far Cry 2, but no idea which is refering to which...

wait...what? Theres no 30v30 maps or 64v64? No large scale Mp maps in Opf2?

This is swaying it somewhat for me. Only played BF2 but the large scale maps are fun, especially when co-ordinated squads occur...OFP2 seems to be heading towards the console market if 16vs16 is the max, imo. Dubious as it's codemasters 1st at developing something too.

Just had a go at the Arma2 demo...does feel a bit clunky, which I wonder if is ironed out a little on release. The AI vehicle control is, um, interesting - drive into fence, reverse, turn a bit, drive into fence again... Like modding communities, especially if it's anything like GTR2's.

How large are Arma2's multiplayer maps?
