Operation Flashpoint II

Gashman · 14 Jan 2007 at 00:05

haven't seen any threads about this game, not sure when/if its being released, anyone got any more info?

I believe it still is in development, however I don't think any of the old team are actually working on it.

Armed Assault is a non official sequel I believe.

I dont think it is in development, we have never heard any thing about it.

Codemasters are apparently working on a Operation Flashpoint 2.

BIS, developers of OFP, made and recently released Armed Assault, the spiritual sequal of OFP to many European countries.

From what I have heard, Operation Flashpoint 2 is currently known as Game 2 - it was listed by Gamespot some months ago as an upcoming 'game to watch out for'.

ArmA is classed as OFP 1.5 by some, as it is basically the same as OFP but with a newer engine and new bits 'n' bobs (maps, models etc).

Scort.

True. It is in development.

[insider knowledge]Although as said, ArmA has the most obvious look and feel from OPF1, OPF2 will be far more technologically advanced and be much more a next gen reincarnation. This will undoubtly change the game but as some of the developers are hardcore OFP1 fans we can only hope that the final game delivers the gameplay. Some of the tech stuff they want to implement is great.[/insider knowledge]

As with a few sequels, maybe the modern update is not what fans want and will be too far removed from the original game. So even if it's a good game the fans will probably *slap* Codemasters.

And of course the game could be dropped. I can't wait 'til it becomes official.

As above.

Armed assault (recently released - but not in UK yet) is really Flashpoint 1.5.

"Game 2" as it is known is Flashpotint 2. (it just won't be called Flashpoint).

As normal, BIS's dates have slipped. Game 2's expected release was late last year!

i hated the first game, was so buggy, and now there's about a million patches for it, and you can't just install 1 patch, you need tons of them

worst purchase ever

Fantastic game in competent hands tbh.

OFP

Codemaster and Bohemia Split appart

Codemasters go on to develop Operation Flashpoint 2

Bohemia go on to develop Amred Assault (OFP 1.5 kinds thing)

Bohemia also working on Game 2 (Not much info at present)
\
Basically the real Operation Flashpoint 2 is Armed Assault and Codemasters who own the right to the name are trying to cash in on its success

Armed Assault is a great game though and keeps all the good points of the old OFP but adds to the experience.

? Install flashpoint + resistance then patch to 1.96???? where are all the hundreds of patches you speak of?

Reppyboyo · 14 Jan 2007 at 21:45

Armed Assault has a fair amount of bugs at the moment, nothing show stopping however.

hmm, could have sworn i saw multiple patches on the codemasters page before.. :confused:

had way worse graphics than half life 1 (i know graphics dont make a game, but they sure spoiled this one)

i've thrown my copy in the bin now anyway

Lmao, I accept people will have wildly different opinions to mine now and again, but that's just funny.

Tonnes of patches needed. erm, no.
Worse gfx than HL1, erm no comparison. They do different things.

HL1 = mostly corridor shooter with saturated colours. Cartoony look.
OFP = All outdoor (miles big) roaming warfare with muted landscape colours. More natural appearance.

Don't know why I'm bothering to reply
