First Operation Flashpoint 2 Screenshot

yeah that looks really pre-rendered. although the game will probably end up looking not much worse than that, it wont be quite that good.

also, im probably wrong, but wasnt Op flaspoint 2 = Arma?

If thats ingame all i can say is WOW.

I love the first game nothing has come close to it as far as online gaming goes imo.

Erm, have you not heard of ArmA? ArmA is the second game by the original OFP developers, OFP2 is not developed by the same people it's just using the same name.
 
I thought "Game 2" was the proper sequel to Operation Flashpoint? Armed Assault was just a game they knocked out quickly with the new engine that "Game 2" will be using a version of. Operation Flashpoint 2 is totally seperate - will no doubt turn into arcadey console NO SWEARING ala Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter etc.

Doesn't really matter what you call it - ArmA is definitely the spiritual successor to OFP, Game 2 will probably be the successor to ArmA so you could probably call it "OFP3" if you really wanted :) Play ArmA and it's instantly familiar from the editor to the feel of the weapons, OFP through and through
 
Too many people call ArmA the TRUE SEQUEL to OFP, its not - grrrrr

Looking at the render, it would be interesting if they do the whole distance blur thing, that could be a clever way of keeping a decent frame rate going. Perhaps using the binoculars will become supermega essential. I can but dream, intrigued with what Codemasters will come up with.
 
ArmA is NOOOOOOT!!! the sequel to operation flashpoint, operation flashpoint 2 is the successor to operation flashpoint, its not out yet, no release date, being made by codemasters, NOT bohemia interactive :) theres some other screenshots flying around, looks good mind

Yes, yes it is, BIS have stated this themselfs.
Arma started as an OFP 1.5 of sorts but then BIS realised it was good enough for a full sequal.

ArmA is NOOOOOOT!!! the sequel to operation flashpoint, operation flashpoint 2 is the successor to operation flashpoint

In name, yes.
In everything else, no.

You mean "depth of field" plus low poly models in the distance? Could be, but I doubt they'd do it.

but it is isn't it? it was created by BIS Operation Flashpoint 2 will be done by codemasters will it not?

BIS = talent that gave us OPFlash 1 and OPflash 1.5 aka Armed Assault

Codemasters = owners of the name Opflash and owners of rhte name Opflash 2

this is what I am led to belive anyhow
 
Doesn't look rendered at all... surprised how people can say that to be honest, unless they don't have an 8800 series card maybe. The model and landscape detail are definately within the scope of modern engines... in fact i'd say they're certainly not the best i've seen. Look at the blade of glass closest to the screen form our perspective... definately rendfdered in-game. However it's the sky and smoke that have a slightly off look to them... if you ask me they're been smoothed and blurred while the foreground has been kept "as-is".
