Codemasters are releasing Operation Flashpoint 2 this week and here is the launch trailer. The reviews have been a mixed bag, but many are giving it a high score.
This game is just coming out at the wrong time. With Uncharted 2, Forza 3, and MW2 coming out so soon, I don't see how I'll find time to get into a game like this. I don't understand why these guys release mid range games in the fall season to compete with games like Uncharted 2 or MW2. Just doesn't seem like a good idea. Oh well...
I'm sure I'll give it a go later when the price drops and I get tired of other games maybe.

I know.. odds are this game could of shipped 2 weeks ago when there was nothing out and we were all waiting for september to end.
Same goes for borderlands hitting this month too.. surely to be ignored and picked up cheap in November
Mixed bag? I've been seeing this game get almost nothing but 7.5 and above from legitimate publications (leaning more towards 8s and 9s from the top websites and mags). Unless you think ~70% somehow equates to a "bad" score.

I loved arma and arma II but as people have said, they are pretty much broken, there's some superb moments to be had in both of them but almost always spoiled by some sort of laggy buggy event that just breaks the immersion.
If OFP 2 can offer a similar experience minus the immersion breaking broken 3d engine, be it on PC or 360 then they have my money. I just hope the PC version has support for Trackir and allows modding.

I used to be the opposite. I've been a gamer for over 25 years now and I basically skipped the whole xbox and PS2 generation in favour for PC gaming.
Now im kind of a hybrid gamer who will basically use whatever means necessary to get the best gaming experience, platform isn't an issue for me now, I'll even play games on my PC with the 360 pad if it offers a better experience than the 360, be it image quality of certain gameplay features.
Must admit, xbox live is getting really hard to beat these days, they've really nailed the mulitplayer experience.

Oopps :P, hmm i hope it works but why not a fcking 16v16 with only human players, this kinda suks. I probably rent it or something.
4v4 with each of those players having a 3 AI team squad holds more potential i think...its not like any actual players going to follow orders you issue them.

true, yet this is what I want. perfect team-play. a utopia I guess?
Just like Far Cry 2 was better than Crysis (imo), i expect this to be better than ArmA2. Sometimes a change in devs (and a higher budget) is what a franchize needs.

Crysis is so much better than Far Cry 2. Far Cry 2 is boredom in a box after the first few hours.
I'm looking foward to the 4v4. I'm a bit tired of the ADD online experience. COD games are great. But after a certian point I feel like an insect, flying around the maps as fast as I can shooting at anything that moves.
