and its my personal opinion that the graphics in Arma 2 just dont stack up

I am really having a hard time seeing a significant technical difference between ArmA 2 and O:FP2. Both games look rather similar which, considering the heritage and the scale they're going for, is hardly surprising.

Care to elaborate, Grimrita?

like i said, from watching Arma 2 videos. I will probably have the same view on OFP when more videos are out. Or maybe, ive been playing Battlefield 2 for too long! LOL

I hope there will be several difficulties to choose from, and not just "realistic" when it comes to taking damage. I'd like the option to play as a bullet-sponge, and not someone who folds up and dies of a heart attack if a bullet as much as zings by. Sounds ace though.

"I've been following both games and of late lost interest in Arma 2 as it looks outdated"

Uh...no. ArmA 2 looks good, especially considering it's a complex military sim with a huge map and accurate recreations of military vehicles. What little has been shown of OpFlash 2 looks pretty similar to ArmA, and most of the images we've seen now appear to be early target renders.

Did anyone see those last couple of screenshots from Dragon Rising? It isn't even close to ArmA 2. Hahaha. Grimrita you are either an idiot or you work for CM.. or both.

Also, Eurogamer staff please correct the article, as Placebo have posted several times now the word from Marek Spanel himself, this guy Clive whatever had nothing to do with the first OPF game.

THe original Op Flashpoint was kind of epic. Bohemia Interactive did a great job. And ArmA 2 looks a lot closer of the original Flashpoint as gameplay, while adding new features. Dynamic campaign, the civilians playing a bigger role than they did in both Op Flashpoint and the original ArmA, factions, weather will affect the combat conditions, the ballistics are close to real life.
Let's not forget that Bohemia Interactive did a number of combat sims for the US Army.

ArmA 2 will only be out for the PC, or am I wrong?

They are supposed to do console version(s), but when this is happening is still TBA. I guess they're just not interested in promising dates they'll miss. PC version first.

Hi guys. In response to feedback, we have clarified Clive Lindop's position and confirmed he was not part of the original Operation Flashpoint development team as we had been told. We've updated the article and regret the error.

Its all very political this codemasters vs bohemia stuff isnt it.........all i know and care is that there are two firms trying to recreate the joy that was operation flashpoint (whatever the brand name they use)....i hope that they both succeed and then everyone will be happy. what is it with people trying to do down games before anyone has even played them.....weird. they are clearly both trying to make something different to COD so good luck to them both.

roll on the summer for dragon rising and i look forward to hearing a release date for arma2
