Well that does look lovely but it is of course clearly cgi.

Isn't it?

Yes it's FMV (Full Motion Video) not CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) as in-game video would be CGI too.

Just to clarify the video is not actual in-game footage, but the footage was created with the use of rendered in-game models.

As the units shown are Americans who are being sent into help the Russians, it's perfectly reasonable.

I'm currently more excited about this than ArmA2 since this actually seems like a proper sequel. Flashpoint with all the bells and whistles of this gen will be something to behold.

anyway - if they put as much effort into the game as this video then we have nothing to worry about.....still would be happy with op flashpoint 1 with better graphics.

Don't know why NATO is joining forces with Russia. More likely to beat up on them alongside the Chinese the way the wankers are currently behaving.

Easily my most anticipated game of the last few years, though slightly worried BI aren't doing it. I know it's a FMV but I can't help but think the actually game won't look too far off it, considering what OFP1 was like.

Someone's told the devs that the biggest strength of OpFp1 was the toolset right? As long as that's still in, I'm a happy monkey.

If they capture the balls-to-the-wall atmosphere of the original game, which scared the hell out of me, then with these kind of gritty hell in a handbasket style scenarios PLUS better graphics it could be insane.

I never found out if that screenshot they released (the first) was in-game or not. Because it was gorgeous.

What country does that show at the end? Is it Blighty?!

Anyway, not much help given its FMV. Boo and hiss.

Triggerhappytel: it's a fictional island, like in the first game... the first game was set on a (few) nice big island (s) which you could wander all over in any mission if you wanted to - the last mission involves making a journey over the whole island, without loading screens or anything...

I believe one of the big features of OpFlash2 is that they will retain this "go anywhere, no load" type of map, including in multiplayer - think BF2142 but muuuch bigger and muuuch more detailed
