MehMan 0 Posted October 13, 2007 That ‘something new’ was NOT in ArmA it 'might' be in ArmA 2, but it will definitely be in OFP2!  I love your certianty. Tell me how do you know that it won't be a complete failure and that it won't deliever and end up being another mainstream shitty shooter that everybody will forget about in 6 months? @Sputnik Monroe: Great attitude. You just forget that people made nation packs and the people who came from that country played with that pack and usually there were enough people to form a squad or two, and I count that as a success for that addon.

Journeyman 0 Posted October 13, 2007 A really good game shouldn’t ‘need’ mods, but mods will extend the playability of any game especially good ones! Most of us would agree that OFP was a ‘really good ‘ game and it was extended and improved enormously by the many mods made especially those talented re coders like Keggetys breathing new life into the dull and dated graphics etc. Of course there should have been a sequel long before then! Addons and mods make games like FSX much more fun and Oblivion for me is worth continuing now that I have got an in-game female companion! OFP2 would be greatly enhanced if it were to be mod friendly. But I understand Sputnicks general drift about the countless half finished crap that keeps filling the download sites! Selectivity is the solution here! My apologies suma for the misinformation regarding your level of participation in producing OFP’s campaigns! My information came from a Codemasters rep in their own forums a few years ago! I guess they had a grudge at the time! That ‘something new’ was NOT in ArmA it 'might' be in ArmA 2, but it will definitely be in OFP2!  I love your certianty. Tell me how do you know that it won't be a complete failure and that it won't deliever and end up being another mainstream shitty shooter that everybody will forget about in 6 months? I don't know that this game will be a success or a failure! What I said was that it will 'definitely' have 'something new' .. that is the Codies new game engine. Something new is what OFP needs! BIS might do a better job with ArmA 2 or Codemasters might do a better job! I'm not siding or supporting anyone! I'm certainly not going to spend my time being loyal and defending everything done by BIS! So far for me ArmA has gone back on the shelf! I'll check out another version when it arrives!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sputnik monroe 102 Posted October 14, 2007 I stick by what I said Any addon that's file size was larger than the total file size of all missions made for it combined was a failure. Missions kept Flashpoint going not addons. Most addons kept the screenshot thread going. Quote[/b] ]what aout the animation mods(GRA) the effects mods(ecp) the themed mods (ffur) etc etc Alright I Forgot about the animations and the two unit replacement mods. So I suppose 98% of mods failed not 99. Don't delude your selves into believing that an APC that never had any missions released for it or a helicopter with out any missions kept Flashpoint alive.

sanctuary 19 Posted October 14, 2007 For me, the lifespan of OFP came from the fact it could be modified to fit my way of using it, and from the mission editor that allowed me to make quick skirmishes to test all those dodgy addons and mods around. When i think about it, in fact i played very few of OFP in the past years, most of my OFP time was spent on working on it in a way or another. How depressing ...

Thunnder Bunny 0 Posted October 14, 2007 I can only speak for myself ,but a lone addon can be dropped in to a mod folder....And with my last count, 20 mod folders reside in my OFP folder. They range from Civil War, WW2 , NAM, Zombie,Madmax all the way to sci-fi Stargate stuff....whoops , I mean blue gate. I've had tons of fun with the BRT apc's alone, but don't remember 1 mission made for it by another person. Guess I'm in that 2%...and proud of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Guess I'm in that 2%...and proud of it Yep I think I kept OFP alive for about another year mostly by trying out all the new vehicles, islands and weapons. I made my own missions in the editor for them if I thought they were any good! Most important thing IMO for OFP 2 is a mission editor! Modability comes next!

martinovic 0 Posted October 17, 2007 I'm prettysure Codemasters isn't going to take any risks with this game, it's obvious from the money they've been spending on it so far. Realistic and difficult gameplay is a risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Captain 0 Posted October 26, 2007 From what I can glean from operationflashpoint2.info, we're going to be able to get OFP2 via steam. http://operationflashpoint2.info/news.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaBrE_UK 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Yeah Codemasters joined Steam and will be selling the games full price on there, so it only follows that OFP2 will be included unless the partnership goes tits-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lepardi 0 Posted October 27, 2007 The scans were on operationflashpoint2.info Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 At first I was in a total disbelief with codemasters doing ofp2... now after this article I can see there is a sparkle of hope. It seems they are really trying to make it the way it should be, loyal to Operation Flashpoint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colossus 2 Posted October 27, 2007 The scans were on operationflashpoint2.infoPage 1 Page 2 Page 3 Can't really say I saw anything new about the official sequel for OFP. The only thing I saw was a fun feature (I don't know how much it will be evolved) is the thing about medical attention. You get shot, you bleed. If you bleed you might a medievac, which I miss in ArmA and possible ArmA 2. Wounded soldier (on strechers) and medievac are more common then a KIA. Which is a shame that ArmA and maybe ArmA 2 don't have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaBrE_UK 0 Posted October 28, 2007 I posted those scans a few months ago here. The latest articles have yet to be scanned and posted for the community Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Tea 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Codemasters officially stated, that all OFP2 screenshots released until now are "targetshots". What means all screens are edited or rendered, too look like they want OFP2 looks when it`s done. That much for the impressing OFP2 screenies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kavoven 4 Posted October 31, 2007 There will be a preview in the German magazine PC-Games which is in stores from today on. Sadly I'm not at home otherwise I could scan the article. If anyone has the PC-Games he could perhaps do so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
