A bump since that was the last post on that page.


Also, it's very hard to describe Operation flashpoint to someone that hasn't played it. I just read this quote from someone and it's better then I could do, but of course words still don't do the game justice. It's something you have to experiance to really understand.

The best way I can think to explain Operation Flashpoint to you is to tell you a sampling of the things I've done in it over the years since it was originally released.

I've fought over every type of terrain you can find on our planet, from swampy marshes to vast deserts, frozen tundras, dense forests.. I've fought from the hills, on mountains, I've staged ambushes in valleys and dissapeared into jungles. From dusk to dawn and back again, in rain, snow, thunderstorms, fog.. I've gone out on solo missions, or as part of an elite 4-man SEAL team, oftentimes I've been commanding an entire squad of soldiers (12), and I've even been a Company Commander tasked with capturing a entire many-square-kilometer islands town-by-town with armor, air support, infantry, special forces, artillery... with all of it under my direction. I've fought in the past (WWII, Vietnam, the Gulf War), in the present (Iraq/Afghanistan), and the future. I've fought as an American, as a Russian, a Finn, even an Afghan rebel, and I've wielded unique, accurately-modelled weapons on every side. It's not just humans, either... I've killed dinosaurs, zombies, and even had a shot at Godzilla once upon a time. I've used real ballistics, real lead/compensation, to score a body shot on an enemy soldier running perpendicular to me 500 yards away - and I've felt the satisfaction that only a game like this could give you for making such a difficult shot on the first try. I've fought as a common grunt, as a special forces soldier, as a tank commander or gunner or driver, an APC crewman, an anti-tank gunner, a transport helo pilot or crew chief/door gunner, an attack helo pilot, a jet fighter/bomber pilot... I've jumped out of planes, I've fast-roped out of helicopters, I've even done HALO drops - High Altitude, Low Opening. I've watched the tide go out as the sun dips below the horizon while in a defensive position, I've stared at real starfields in a dark night sky as brilliant tracers flick up kilometers away as they chase after an A-10 doing an attack run...

...and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Flashpoint is nothing like those "other" games you might be thinking of. Give it the respect the dev team has so rightly earned. OFP has never been challenged for the throne it so securely holds. Never.

All this stuff and more will be available in Armed Assault.

I'm sure this has been mentioned many times, but just to be clear, Armed Assault is NOT the true sequal to Operation Flashpoint. It's considered an up to date/advanced version of OFP (1.5+ if you will). Game2 (Title TBA) will be the true sequal and will be released 1-2+ years from now.

Re: Armed Assault News

The game doesn’t set a limit. You can do 100+ if you have a good server and good connections.

Oh deer. Seems like lately all the games I want to buy are being delayed. Others, you can predict will be delayed (Quake Wars, 2142).

Ah well, I shall check back on this thread periodically.
