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

Yeah anything sounds better than the tacky original voice-over, it was so cheesy and annoying.

They need something more raw and captivating, something like this -

Not yet, Danfung is currently embedded in Helmand again but if you are interested you can see more of his footage here -

BTW his documentary has now been renamed to Hell and Back Again. I will PM you when he returns.

[Tonci87 163]

Me too please. This documentary really seems interesting

[ben_s 11]

Hell, more intresting than RR.

Thanks.

Also, to anyone who's interested in these types of Documentaries:

I cant believe I havent even heard of that movie! After watching that trailer I couldnt believe how great it looked.

I don't believe it would be too difficult for someone to produce a similar style effect for a game trailer. When I get some spare time I might create one for Bohemia's upcoming PMC addon, just for a bit of fun.

Just watched it. It's very good.

If you are looking for serious combat scenes, it's not really that kind of deal. Lots of shooting, lots of shaking cameras looking at the ground, shots of people shooting over sandbags, but nothing more really.

What it does do is give you a vivid look at the politics the troops have to deal with in relation to the locals as well as the emotional ups and downs of being deployed in such a hot zone.

[ben_s 11]

Sounds good.

One thing that would make an intresting documentary would be one of a insurgent soldier. Fighting for what he belives, how they live, friends, family and training of them. Would be, Intresting to see how peoples opinions would change with something like that.

PBS Frontline did one. They have all their episodes online, so you should be able to find it.

For those interested, Joao Silva, one of the most famous and experienced combat photographers of our time, stepped on a mine late last month during a foot patrol with US infantry in Arghandab district.

Surgeons in Khandahar were forced to amputate both of Joao's legs.

Whilst lying wounded in the dirt and bleeding profusely Joao had the presence of mind to ask a nearby Soldier to pass him his camera so he could photograph the medics as they worked on him.

Joao is currently healing at Walter Reed.

[Tonci87 163]

I realy feel sorry for him, and that he still had the presence of mind to photograph while Medics were treatening him is really outstanding. Well I surelly don´t want to sound like an asshole, but is this the right Thread for this kind of information?

Good people deserve good threads. It does not belong here. ;)

[Tonci87 163]

Yeah thats what i mean

[Zipper5 74]

Definitely. Please get back to the topic at hand (even with said topic being rather unpleasant :p ).

Well, Theres not much anymore. It seems CM wants to tell us as little about the game as possible before throwing it into the public. :j:

Oh, and the machinma screenshot if you aint seen it.

(img is 64kb, So don't worry. :))

[Zipper5 74]

As far as I'm aware, desert MARPAT is not high-contrast orange.

[dm 9]

Nor is skin, for that matter...

[Zipper5 74]

Well, you never know - could have gotten a severe sunburn. :D

[ben_s 11]

Pretty bad for it to go red/orange like that :D

[Zipper5 74]

And is it just me, or has the view distance reverted back to the 900m of OFP?

[Tonci87 163]

Yes it seems so.

Their ambient light stuff really ruins things. Now the enmy Soldiers will be something like Orange puppets jumping all over the Place. TF2 alike...

[Flash Thunder 10]

Nor is skin, for that matter...

Just take a look at the hand models and textures in arma 2 and OA not that much better. :p

Coops hand= ouch

Default dudes hand in OA= WTF major texture mapping bug or something

[Richey79 10]

Oh, and the machinma screenshot if you aint seen it.

I see skybox... lots and lots of 2D skybox.

And something that looks like the AR15 from COD:BLOPS. Will Sion include a feature so I can easily port my player-card with the highly-detailed picture of male genitalia onto it?

[Deadfast 43]

Well, you never know - could have gotten a severe sunburn. :D

Given by the amount of light radiation from that sun that is a verily likely explanation :rolleyes:
