... and it look much better here than on youtube, believe me.
Anyway... they're relasing some game footage every now and then so we still believe a true game release is possible.... YES, YOU CAN release the game.
ArmA2 is about to get my gravel  :-*

[PZ]

Impressive graphics - is OFP2 a military simulation like ARMA2 or more like a game?

[JRD]

As far as I know its the opposite: ArmA2 is supposed to be like Operation Flashpoint, if you know what I mean.  ;)
Both are war sims.
What I heard of OFP2 is that they'll let you adjust some difficulty levels to play as a truly sim or more like a game, with a HUD display, enemy tags, compass, quicksave etc...
Don't know how it works with ArmA2... just dowloaded the demo and will try it sometime this week

[spaceboy]

looks really cool JRD.  I like the idea of changing difficulty if that's true - I'm not sure I'd have the patience to commit to the highest "sim" level.  I'd try it but I think I'd prefer to play a little lower on the scale.

[JRD]

Guess the ultimate sim level would be no HUD, no compass, no enemy tag, no quicksave or load, realistic blood loss and character injury model etc... I want a little fun on my gaming sessions too  ;D
Apparently AI would react the same though  ;)

[gvse]

Just to clarify: you can adjust difficulty level in A2. In fact, it has the most robust customizing options I have ever seen, including auto-aim, tags on enemies, "super ai," friendly ai adjustment, head-bob/weapon sway, skill level adjustment, etc. On top of that you can select e.g. recruit level and customize it further to your liking. The bottom line is it can be a "sim" or a more forgiving shooter, you decide!

[JRD]

That's true... difficulty customization in A2 allow you to adjust practicaly anything in the game, which is great, as gvse said... its up to you to play a forgiving shooter or a war sim.
You can even play with expert friendly AI against dumb enemy AI.
Will deffo play it a bit more today and see what I can get apart from boot camp  ;D ;D

[spaceboy]

cool.  Too bad Arma2 is only PC if I'm not mistaken.  But OFP2 is supposed to be on consoles as well  :-X

[Art Blade]

I've just watched some ingame footage of OFP:DR and was delighted to see it uses a control system I had wished for. I even posted here somewhere how I'd like ArmA2 to have better controls as had Crysis, and DR now comes up with exactly that system! lol, nice one, CM  ;D
