Vunderbar!

I just pray neither OpFlash 3 nor Arma 2 include “flyable” helicopters.

I started playing ArmA a few months ago, I’m putting in so many hours, and loving it. The community has matured along with the game. Yes there are a few issues with joining servers and such but there is little wrong with the game play. The game lacks the slick image of other games but is well worth your time.

As for the whole Codemasters vs BI thing I do think it’s a bit off that Codemasters are making a whole new game and sticking the OF name on it. They are reinventing the wheel and taking the credit. Seeing as OF:2 is going to be playable on the consoles then you can expect a console port with all that entails. The number of “Good” fps console ports can be counted on one hand, on the whole they suck the big one.

Yeah, the animation looks a bit stiff. Hopefully that will change by release. Still, nice to see more raw in-game stuff.

It’s far to early for me to be picking a winner between two games that haven’t even been released yet. (and if they’re both good and I buy both which has ‘won’?), but the little bit of footage of blokes running around at night and coming under fire reminded me in a good way of some of those tense moments in OpF.
So if it can deliver something like that experience then I will like it. (you might not though.)

As far as I’ve seen they’re both shaping up to be good games, and usually competition like this would be good for the consumer…

What I’m worried about though is what she said at the end of the vid. It’d be nice if both dev teams took their time, I can’t see that happening though. Seems to me that unless there is a SERIOUS disparity in the quality of the games, the first to release will get the lions share of an already small target audience and ‘win’.

Thats looks so basic, it could be mistaken for the usual tripe coming out of Eastern Europe by the likes of City Interactive et al.

No way in hell this is going to be on par with ArmaA 2 – which hopefully Bohemia won’t fuck up trying to release before or at the same time as OfP2.

As we’ve all said before, both games will have their fans, But regardless of realism, if Bohemia jumps the gun again, there’s just going to be a whole new breed of pissed off ArmaA2 players and dash all hopes for anything resembling the inevitable (?) ArmaA3.

I’m getting both, so I don’t give a toss either way who wins. I have a library to stock. :)

Man, I was so happy to see that turned off the bullet trails. And then the night scene came up… :(

ArmA was as it was because they didn’t have enough money to finish it properly before release. That’s the sad true, it was all about money. Those are the dangers of not having a strong publisher behind your project.
