Since 2001 I have waited for OFP2...

....I dont think we will see OFP2 at least until November 2007 because BF2142
would take a lot of money away from OFP2 if it was released in 2006 [4th
quarter]. The market is a nasty place.

Ah well whatever I don't care as the true follow up to OFP is Armed
Assault as in my book if it's not written by BI it's got nothing to do
with OFP. ;o)

I for one don't give a stuff about the BF series of games, not bought
any of them and never will after playing the demos. They just aren't
kind of game whereas OFP is.

I do find it odd that Codemaster's if they are still developing OFP2
themselves have released no information at all about the project.

Let's face it, without BI it's vaporware. How did codmasters get it so
wrong? It's like, not signing the Beatles, after you've already signed
them before. It's worse than not signing the Beatles in the first place.....
Wasn't the main attraction about OFP that the guys who wrote it had
actually done some service, so the game had some sort of 'feel' to it?
Or was that just me......

My feelings exactly mate. I can't think of any other game that's given
me such value for money and enjoyment over such a long period of time. I
got my copy on the day of release, June 22nd 2001 here in the UK. Over
five years later it's still on my hard drive and I'm still playing it on
a regular basis. It's been a bit of Vietnam action with the VTE mod this
week. The "feel" you talk of is what does it, it may not be the
prettiest looking girl at the ball but there's still that something
about it. The vibrancy of the modding community is fantasic, it really
keeps things fresh and the talent out there with the likes of BAS, FDF,
CoC and Project UKF to name a few is amazing. I mean take CoC UA 1.1,
who would have thought five years ago that OFP would be capable of
simulating artillery of the scope of UA? Brilliant! I don't know the
full story behind the Codemasters/BI falling out but I'd agree that
Codemasters really screwed up there being left with the Flashpoint name
but quite frankly bugger all else.

If ArmA and OFP2 were never to see the light of day I'm sure I'd still
be playing OFP in another five years.

BF2 is not of the same genre as OFP, and it doesn't pretend to be. BF2 is
fun in its own right, and a welcome relief from stresses of real life. I
have enjoyed OFP immensely myself, and am anxiously awaiting ArmedA and OFP2
as well.

I know that the BF series can not compete with OFP because they 'are'
completely different. I prefare OFP because its realistic [apart from the
wall glitches] and that I can make my own missions/movies and well...create
anything on it with the mission editor. Its great for my LAN parties and I
will always have it on my hard drive, even in 15 years time and even if they
release OFP2.

Did Codemasters/BI not realse screenshots and info on the main site? I seen
screenshots and they didnt look the best, the characters heads looked
deformed to their body.

I think what it really is, is that they want OFP2 to have the best GFX
engine there possibly is because they want it to be a great success and they
are looking for the right moment.
