Looks good, can't see why this shouldn't be ingame graphics. About the same amount of detail as in Brothers in Arms 3. I mean what are you expecting? We are starting to see 2nd generation 360 titles, graphics like in Crysis are gonna be the normal standard.

Looks damn nice. I think what really makes it look great are the textures, especially the foliage and the depth of field.

Wow, I didn't it was still in production, this is great.

I guess now that the name is now owned by codemasters, then the gameplay will probably be more accessible.

No fucking way, I don't believe it..!

Must be DX10 if it is actually ingame footage.
If this is ingame 360 footage, then that is just incredible..!

am i the only person that thinks a SLIGHT over reaction is occuring here? im not saying this is a bad screenshot, its quite good. The smoke and houses in the distance certainly look good, but then they are blurred out and in the distance. Dont see how this is better than crysis at all though. soldier on the left could easily been done last gen, dont get it.

You're not going to see graphics like Crysis on 360 either.

don't fight the inevitable. Crysis is not the end of the graphics you know...

screen does look really good. I also doubt if it's real though, but we will see soon enough. No doubt that the neon engine is among the best engines at the moment, and easily more versitile than cryengine. Some of the Dirt screens look almost as good, so I'll give codemasters the benefit of doubt here... great stuff!

Like people have been saying this WILL NOT be the ofp you know, the only thing this will bare on the orignal is the name.

Bohemia Interactive made a 1.5 to Ofp named ArmA, not a sequal, it was more or less ofp on an updated engine to look more pretty.

Anyway if you want a, lets face, damn awesome looking game follow codemasters, but if you want a game true to ofp, look to Bis.

PS if you want a realistic shot of OFP2, browse the web for them, and believe me they look NOTHING like this picture, so dont get your hopes up on them keeping up this fascade.

Nothing in that screenshot that makes me think it's impossible to do.

Also you can see rough edges around the helmet and the distance is blurred which to me shows this is indeed in-game and there is ntohing there to make me think otherwise.

After all, this is next-gen.
People set their expectations way too low just ebcause the early games didn't look "OMGWOW".

Could you provide a link to these shots, I've had no succes in finding these. This screenshot is supposedly the first screenshot released of this game as far as I'm aware of...
