Innomadic 10 Posted September 19, 2011 Thought this was interesting... By Dnote At this moment in time, we’re not working on a new title for the Operation Flashpoint series. If this changes in the future, we’ll be sure to let you know. Its a small break whilst we focus on our racing titles for a bit, that's all. Still a lot of Flashpoint fans here at Codies.

instagoat 133 Posted September 19, 2011 Well, weh... Looks like their take on the OFP franchise has run out of steam. Now that they´ve run a good name into the mud proper, they´re finally moving on to doing something else. Not even a hint of competition for Arma 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 20, 2011 With Codemasters, it's not the constant epic fails that amuse me, it's the way they always manage to put together their press releases. Instead of saying: "We made a rubbish game, and now we are abandoning it" They say: "Codemasters has moved on to plan the future of modern combat..." Instead of saying: "We shut our studios down because all our recent games have been flops", they say: "Codemasters has decided to focus on growing it's other studios to make our racing games more l33t" Lmao. Glad to see there will be no more crappy shooters from CM. CM went to shit when next gen consoles came out, other than the dirt series, nothing good has come out of them since the good old Colin McRae rally days, and Toca race driver!

mrcash2009 0 Posted September 20, 2011 My dear departed granny used to say - "If you can't say anything sensible, the don't say anything at all".Seems CM didn't heed this advice, just change "say" with "create" :)Although this is some good advice if everyone took it literally we would be overrun have rose tinted glass yes men, corruption & political correctness ..... oh dear, seems the world knew your granny very well :j::) Seeing as its based on sensible which is completely subjective.

jblackrupert 14 Posted September 20, 2011 Maybe Bohemia can buy the OFP name for a cheap price and give it a proper burial. Arma 3 can have a memorial with a headstone on one of the maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2130 Posted September 20, 2011 Something tells me CM would keep it out of spite no matter what - after all, they could always just fire one more programmer to make up the difference of BI's offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niall0 10 Posted September 20, 2011 Its only about 20 minutes down the road from me. Guildfords home to lots of games devs, Criterion, Bright Lights, Media Molecule and Lionhead aswell as pretty much EA UK it's self are all based there. So jobs wise theres likely to be other stuff around, plus it aint to far from London either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Innomadic 10 Posted September 22, 2011 http://community.codemasters.com/forum/general-discussion-1335/471001-no-more-ofp-10.html, by Dnote There is no further work planned on Red River at this time. We're sorry that we didn't say anything sooner, but the kind of decisions that affect an entire company aren't taken lightly or decided upon quickly. Not even an official announcement to proclaim that RR has been dumped. Instead, a simple user post that was originally a tangent to the original conversation... ...just lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Noticed someone named "Lynx23" posting nearly the same comment on the CM forums as I posted here. Fans of the original Flashpoint's sales figures that is. We're not the same person, I don't have an account on the CM forums. Please use some originality to sarcastically attack CM, there is plenty material to choose from :p Support being dumped again, what a surprise. Has anyone done the maths yet to see if they dumped it sooner this time than with DR? And still there are those defending the dropping of support for the failed product that RR was, hoping that CM will go back to the basis of DR and pour a few years of development funds into that, after which they will support that one properly ... Beginning to remind me of the sodding Stockholm syndrome. Edited September 22, 2011 by JdB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanhA-ICON 11 Posted September 22, 2011 "We'll always have Burger King" *Voiced by Humphrey Bogart* Yes, I also took a peek on those forums and it's weird how people just are in self denial. JdB was right about the Stockholm Syndrome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
