ARMA2 & OFP2 who else cant wait

I really want OPF2 to reign supreme as I absolutely loved the original. But something in the back of my mind is pointing me towards it not being quite in the same league, although it does look quite good. I hope it isn't just a more expansive arcade type Cod4.

As for Arma2, I haven't played the original but have a copy of it at home. I just haven't had the courage to play it after all the bad reviews I have heard of it. Arma2 looks slightly better than OPF2 at the minute but it would be really stretching my "loyalties" (for want of a better word) to say that I would buy it over Flashpoint, purely based on the original titles, OpF1 was much better than Arma, and that is still what is swaying me now.
 
Operation Flashpoint is nothing more than a name now, it's all about ArmA and Bohemia Interactive.

I'll say what I usually say:
Once it's patched up and modded, ArmA is a great game, far better than it was in it's release state. It rivals Operation Flashpoint for multiplayer fun and is still good to look at.
 
I'm leaning towards ARMA2. Bohemia Interactive as mentioned above were the true creators of OFP. ARMA1 was rushed and buggy but I'm hoping that more care has been put into ARMA2. From what I hear, it will be released primarily for PC with possible port to a console.

As for OFP2 coming from Codemasters, I've heard they have removed the map editor (which gave hours of fun in OFP!) and replaced with a "Downloadable Content" service. Its probably dumbed down for console too so I'm going to hold back on that one and see what reception it gets.

ARMA2 for sure though!

Eh?? They had the map editor in one of the latest videos they released...
 
i Know what you mean about Cod4, team games are a non event really, more like every man for himself and maybe somebody would plant a bomb somewhere. I may play Hidden and Dangerous 1 with my housemates tonight! That was true teamplay!! :D
 
going to be getting a new rig solely for arma2/of2. From what I can tell, Arma2 will probably be the one to get. I can tell from the weapons page on their site that they are going for hardcore realism. There is even talk of realistic use of tracer rounds and multiple weapon attachments and ammo types.

I think OF2 might still be great though. 4 player co-op on a huge map in a non scripted environment will be sweet. I am actually now thinking about getting arma2 for pc and of2 for 360! As long as one of them holds true to the realism and sheer feeling of OFP1, I'll be happy. If they both do, I won't be playing anything else for the rest of the year.
 
wooot ive been trying to play arma but me pc is rubbish but me dads aint so me and me bro installed ACE mod wow this is how the game should have been great.

any oe else use this mod?.
 
I have got an old copy lying around that I have "borrowed long term" from a friend but have never got round to playing it. I'm not sure I can bring myself to playing it as I loved OFP1 and I don't want to have it tainted.

There will be a demo out in the summer for OFP2 comprising of 1 or 2 levels from the game. I want to tell Codemasters to "hurry up", but after the recent release of unfinnished games from a certain games manufacturer, I don't want them to complete it in haste.

The most recent screenshots look particularly good.
