CM Operation Flashpoint 3 announced | "Oops, they're doing it again..."

I cant understand why people here make comments about DR and now RR's healing system. In ARMA guys can get shot down time and again only to be healed by a teammate and carry on.

Youll have a guy bleeding out on the floor and a quick magic patting hand animation and theyre up again.

[Zipper5 74]

At least Arma 2's come with animations. ;)

DR's system was alright. RR allows you to magiclly patch everyone up to normal health. Wheras at least ArmA's doesn't fully revive you.

If they announce things like freidnlies respawning @ checkpoints and full reheal with medkits is disabled in hardcore mode. I would be happy.

I doubt anyone else would though..

Eh, this seems to be getting a bit silly and more "it sucks in this game but not this game" rather than "this game sucks because of X", perhaps we should hold the gutting for a concrete update. As is it's all just on paper.

And the "it sucks in RR but not in ArmA" is going to carry on, and never stop.

Actually, the first aid animations are quite good. For incapacitated soldiers, the animation does primary and secondary surveys, they sometimes do chest compressions, and they bandage. It's pretty much right out of the first aid manual.

Regarding the perks paragraph, I love how he introduces it 'within the real of reality' and then describes a perk that is nearly impossible. Maybe the snipers get lighter/faster bullets? Other than that, their perk requires telekinesis.

This whole situation is the most ENTERTAINING event that has ever occured in my life.

LOL @Zipper5's diagram

LOL at Conmasters stupidity

LOL at BIS's hit pieces

This game is just a serious trolling scheme aint it?

Whats next?

The people who played Dragon Rising didnt like the fact the game was on PC also so we canceled the PC version of Red River and spent that money on moar 1337 explosions and "F" Bomb dialogue. Nice.....

:eek:

[The Hebrew Hammer 10]

Thanks for that......

Anyway, That recoil. Err, It looks too. Faked, Overdone.

If the game ends up having an 8 hour campaign for us to play through it, What is there of it? Oh, And it appears RR has only 8 FTE missions, too. Not sure if that is true though.

I'm going to guess those numbers are either in-progress number of missions, or just how long it would take a few press guys to blitz through the campaign without doing anything other than primaries.

Its funny how Templar managed to point out a few bugs in the videos already... They better have a good, reliable and truthfull beta testing team that doesn't just want to beta test for fun. If they even have one. :rolleyes:

lulz, when I heard we couldn't even call in arty the way we want I had had enough. The newer video looks even worse... Too much "hurr durr we muhreens, fightin fur merika" and very little gameplay. Like they think that all Marines act like hard charging motards all of the time...

Maybe they should actually talk with some salty lances and actually find out whats up with the Corps that they seem to love romanticizing.

[Tonci87 163]

Jesus this really keeps getting funnier

[Perforator 10]

This paragraph caught my attention -

A Flashpoint encounter may look like an old-fashioned shooting gallery - insurgents appear on overhanging ledges and burst out of doorways - but Red River hasn't become Wild Gunman. It's a far more thoughtful game where progress is slow and hard won.

[Tonci87 163]

Oh I hate it how they compare it to OFP

[nettrucker 142]

Yeah, me too. It makes my blood boiling, since it has nothing to do with the original OFP apart form the name of the franchise.

kind regards

[nodunit 397]

Their not, they are simply using the name "flashpoint", why rather than red river? Who knows..probably never played the original. Either way get used to that, we'll be seeing much more I'm sure.

Save your anger and harsh words for something a bit more... nice...

This is the reason I don't visit sites like that anymore. If I want to read what PR speeches CM wants these sites to spread (sometimes referred to as "previews" and "reviews" on "independent" gaming websites), I'll just go to their own site. Not a critical note in that preview. Hardly anything is known about the game right now other than what CM says, and we all know how much faith to put in whatever they claim, all the glorious features that are advertised, but are "removed" at the last moment (like they ever really existed). That "preview" came right from Sion Lenton's bowels.

"Trust us". Not really.

Well, previews are rarely critical (ArmA previews included). Especially early previews of pre-alpha versions.

That is true, which is why if you do choose to read them always take them with a grain of salt. ;)

Hi all

Codemasters' Owner Goldman Sachs seem to be in some serious hot water on an FBI Insider Trading Investigation.

Goldman Sachs Employees Are Shocked By Wellington Subpoena And Scrambling For Information With Their Bosses Away For Thanksgiving

Katya Wachtel | Nov. 24, 2010, 9:18 AM

News that Wellington Management received an FBI subpoena yesterday got Goldman Sachs riled up for the first time since the massive insider trading investigation exploded on Monday...

http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-shocked-by-wellington-subpoena-insider-trading-citadel-janus-sac-capital-2010-11

As always follow the link to the article in full

Rumour has it that the FBI has several witnesses who have already turned Informer in the Insider Trading Investigation and have been hurried off into protective custody.

The thing about whoring the brand is everyone starts to think your company has the business equivalent of an STD and you number of customers and partners starts to dry up. Eventually your pimp the shareholder pulls the plug.

Both the Goldman Sachs and Codemasters brands have been tarnished by their previous activities. Trust has begun to ebb in both companies. Senior staff have started to leave. Product development partners are demanding more assurances in the form of more complex contracts, insurance and a bigger cut or they just dissolve the relationship.

Interesting how a philosophy in the parent company can drip down in to the subsidiaries.

I thinks it's quite usual.

In case of game developers, from what I've notice it has happened since the beginning of the Video/computer game industry. And in the end , what was a good software developer ends up by loosing his identity and turn out to be a mirror of the parent company. It's like the Midas effect but it's the other way around. Sh**t attracts sh**t.

[sic-disaster 311]

That recent trailer i saw on gametrailers.com was horrible.

"We feast on the fury of battle!" also, we suck the blood out of our enemies still living children.. i mean, seriously. What the fuck?

After living through that horrible experience, i made the mistake of glancing over the comment section. It made me want to commit some serious bodily injuries to some people.

Somehow, the sheeple are still buying this crap. Dear god, what does it take to put OFP out of it's misery?

[Tonci87 163]

Guys you have to remember one thing . OFP:RR is a "tactical FPS" for the console market .

The fact that it will also have a PC version is probably because it's easy to port and they want to make an extra buck ...

I suggest we all slow down on the meanie comments for now , wait for the console port to come out , analyze it , gather valid well documented facts against it and then bash the hell out of it .

Well, You have enough info to bash it now if you wanted to. I take it their "big release" of info has come and gone.

Hi Tonci87

Pointless when both they and their parent company seem set on such self destructive policies of whoring the brand.

They will kill their companies share value all on their lonesome.

Goldman Sachs shares Fell of a cliff Monday and has lost almost 10 points since last week.

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=GS#symbol=gs;range=5d;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;

The trust in Goldman Sachs and its subsidiary Codemasters has been declining for some time.

Like I said whoring the brand has a result, the corruption starts to fester and rots the company from within.

Kind Regards walker

Sorry but:

yhhxJzeVrI0

^ Gameplay.

It looks just as bland, uninspired and unoriginal as the rest of the over-flooded "tactical FPS" genre. That opener the commentator makes speaks to exactly what Codemasters are doing - appealing to the COD, Battlefield, HALO, MOH players. No matter what they insist, they are not targeting OFP fans anymore.

[Maio 293]

Zipper , I was being ironic :p .

I first played OFP:CWC when I was 10 and that game helped me stay away from all the generally accepted FPS that came out in that period that could have potentially turned me into an annoying pre pubescent teenager, who's idea of a awesome teamplay game was CS 1.x .

The post above was just my rational side trying to suppress my raging, annoyed ,

BIS fanboy :p

side who wants to bash on CM's future OFP console port .

Oh and the video you quoted made my sad .
