ARMA2 & OFP2 who else cant wait

OPFOR2 first impressions;

1: Ah, looks like they've moved away from mil-sim.
2: That head bob / gun bounce is going to get annoying quick, honestly looks like he's running with a peg leg.
3: Aiming, absolutely no movement/shaken aiming, it's completly still >_<

However the engine looks nice, the modding community could do a nice job.

I'm glad Arma 2 was the sim side of things

To be fair there isn't enough in that video to make a proper judgement, I'd like to see more of the AI. It did look more like BF2 than OFP but as I like BF2 that wouldn't be the end of the World for me.

The Jacksons soundtrack really added to the atmosphere :cool:

LOL!!! I think I will steer clear of them tbh.

no risk, they dont charge your cc till the games been dispatched. The only risk i can see is them not sending it on time or not at all!

Point taken, but I would rather have the game sat here on my lap ready to install than be sat wondering when the postie will drop it through my letterbox. Think I will grab it from somewhere else. :cool:

Yep, Dragon Rising looking good too. Thanks for the link m8. I have a feeling these games are going to both take up a lot of my PC time.

Just my opinion, but that vid really doesn't look like anything special. After seeing the Arma2 footage, I can't say I'm expecting much from OFP DR. It just looks generic and Meh.

Aren't Codemasters a far bigger and more 'professional' outfit?

Yes but they only make arcade stuff for the masses.

Exactly why the game will be dumbed down and far more mainstream.

Bad times.

There doesn't seem to be too much that stands out from the video. It looks nice and it looks well put together but no umph to it. Probably doesn't help there wasn't a massive deal of action or variation (vehicles and stuff) but i'm a tad disappointed. Hoping to see more footage though (not camera, ingame)

Is it true that OFP2 doesn't have planes? Only helis?

SteQ · 10 Nov 2009 at 14:01

thats correct, no planes. I got to the last level of OFP 2 and found the whole experiance quite dull. ArmA2 is a far superior game IMO.
