This game is gonna rock. What I loved most about OFP1 was the easy editor that made multiplayer so much more fun.
Anyway 100% sure those screens above is pre rendered.

Unfortunately bohemia interactive is not working on this title, meaning it will probably end up alot more different than the original and I highly suspect we will not se an editor.

Flashpoint 1 was so good the only realistic war game, I just love European games from smaller studios they don't care about the trends and hype, I hope they won't dumb it down for consoles sake.

As Mutantius said, it's not from the developers of OpFlash, it just has the same publisher, so I doubt that it will not be dumbed down.
If you're into OpFlash you should keep your eye more on Armed Assault 2 than this game.

Holy shit now I see, it's not made by the Czech but by the British  it will probably suck now.
Arma2 is practically OF2 but with a different name, that will be realistic combat.

ArmA2 would actually be OF3, as Armed Assault should be considered the real OpFlash2.
It's great fun in online coop btw.
WHen it came out it had some serious problems with AI and stuff, just like OpFlash did when it came out, but I believe that by now it's pretty good, and there's also great mods out.
There's like that multiplayer coop mod where you start in a base on the island and have to go out and take over cities from the AI. You get points for kills and level up to higher ranks, which allows you to use better vehicles that stand around in the base (and respawn).
SO when you join you can only use a normal jeep, but as you level up you get access to tanks, helicopters and jets. it's great.
You can even set up helipads at locations, and an AI pilot will then go and fly a helicopter around between the base and that helipad to transport players there. I love that stuff.
--edit..
writing about it kinda made me wanna play it again. installing now. :P

This game better not be a disappointment like that other military game that came out beginning of this year. I forgot what it's called.

You know, if they really wanted to make a realistic shooter, they should make it hurt for real when wounded. That would really make it... Interesting... :>

Thank god! It can only get better. Especially the controls, the amount of bugs and technical shortcomings and the accessibility.

For me Bohemia is an incapable developer. |
How so? Bohemia is like 10 people who actually try to make something they have always dreamt doing, also they have this dedication to their community which I have not seen elsewhere.
| Quote: | | You said it - that's not bad, not bad at all. That's what I meant with accessibility. OFP was way too complicated and difficult (and boring imo). |
Its not complicated its about having patience with your game, obviously you dont fancy simulation based games. If Codemasters decides to turn the series around like UBISOFT did with Rainbow Six, then it will simply be another action game with no depth whatsoever.
| Quote: | Well as far as I remember the vehicle controls were all crap. You couldn't even drive and shoot the tank without hassle. You had to switch positions, etc.
The "great accessibility" thing was a joke, right? OFP was a realistic, difficult and very complicated military simulation. It wasn't accessible in the slightest bit, it was the complete opposite. |
A soldier cant drive a M1A1 Tank alone, thats the beauty of it, to assign waypoints, targets and general orders are both easy and very rewarding in OFP.
Hell you could even drive the damn thing while commanding it simply by pressing the drive buttons and for targetting you toke your cursor, placed it over the enemy contacts and gave the order to fire. So yes, it was easy.

@Mut: Totally agree. A good game community is everything. Look at OpenTTD and WC3

Guys like Weedo are exactly the reason why we have 'simpleton' games lately that require no brain power at all and are usually made for consoles, of course you can't drive a tank by yourself it's like that in real life, yes there should be sacrifices for the sake of fun but when you consider that 99% of war fps games are 'simpleton' and arcadish OF comes like a knight in shinning armor for a lot of pc players that love realism.
I played that game to death than I installed 30 mods and played it again, man it was fun, one shot one kill it's like that in real life, when you die you don't even know what hit you, you have to wait for the death cam, than you see the bastard lying in the bushes like 300 meters away and that's singleplayer probably the best AI ever, nothing fancy but it worked. Today you have regenerating health in cod and battlefield not to mention you can take a machinegun to the chest and 'walk it off' like it was a mosquito bite, I can bitch about those games all day especially considering their realism just like you bitch about controls which where perfect for me at least.

I agree with whats been said about the need to keep the realism intact. I mean... there already is the retard-o-tron version of OFP ... its called Battlefield. Oh dont get me wrong.. the BF series has come a long way. But those of us that played OFP know who BF takes after.
I remember playing OFP pretty religiously with some guys on a server called Warhaus... I think the guy that ran it was BigQEd. While the learning curve might have been steep... other wargames have paled in comparison when it comes to offering up the complexity and sophistication.
The only one that has come close so far is Armed Assault... but that should come as no surprise.
If gameplay even comes CLOSE to this level of detail this game wil be incredible.

seems like such a long time ago they had great games back then now they are corrupt buying everything they can, wonder what happened to that Jane's team, probably working on Mario Kart 3 or something I guess simulations have no place these days.
