Operation Flashpoint 2 officially announced

[sic-disaster 311]

The same scenes as in pics look much more better in this vid, and the graphics do look better than ArmA 2, just watch:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/256748.html

yes it's called CGI or renders.

In general the video looked good cept..runnign with the gun aimed..ugh, well hopefully accuracy falls substantially in that case.

You can be sure of low accuracy. I saw another video from GC somewhere, wich was clear enough to show a huge ( like in, HUGE ) crosshair.

If anyone played Pariah, it's like that. Or like Close Combat: First to Fight.

It just reeks of auto-aiming or random conefire

Also, the movement feels just like FtF as well. It looks really clunky.

How do you know theres not going to be Free view and Free aim, None of the devs have said anything about that.

Seriously, click the first link in my signature and read all that (it's fuzzy but readable). It clearly says no free aim.

well that video was cut during gameplay. Did anybody post the full thing? maybe CM should do that if it is not available.

No... it is paused gameplay with camera roaming around showing how it exactly looks, not CGI.

Epic failure by the camera-man there, kind of annoying really

Although it is possible you might be being sarcastic i'll point it out anyway. If you zoom out of the webpage or scroll over each one of those OFP2 MH-60S pics has a picture of the ArmA UH-1Y Venom next to it.

I like some things in the video, and don't like some others. But it still looks good, and I'm still keen.

The whole thing kind of looks like it's fallen prey to "GRAW Coffee Brown Filter"itis, though.

Yes, judging only by some pre-alpha shots you can determine which game will be better.

Oh and when was this poll?

Early this year when there was no OPF2 in game screens around and is it a possiblity that Fansite is actually an ArmA Fansite..

I'm talking about the renders that were released far before this video that were still included, not the ingame movement, obviously that is not rendered.

Seems to be an opinion you hold, only favouring OFP2 instead of ArmA2

No.

Yes, judging only by some pre-alpha shots you can determine which game will be better.

From my limited recollection of doing French at school, the poll asks: 'Which is more beautiful ArmA2 or OFP2?' not which is better. Something that can at least be debated from screenshots.

Pavehawk: The poll is the current one you can see at the side of the NoFrag homepage dated August 21st to August 23rd 2008:

http://nofrag.com/sondage/

And no, NoFrag isn't an ArmA fansite. It caters for all FPS games from Crysis to old-scool games like Wolfenstein 3D by the looks of it.

[JdB 151]

What a bright idea, lets take the ugliest screenshot/render we can find of OFP2, and compare it to a completely different type shot (the subject, being a helicopter is the same, but the composure and lightning angle of the shots are entirely different (only the outline of the ArmA2 helo is really visible, where as the OFP2 helo is completely visible, same goes for the parts of the island that are visible)).

Plenty of shots out of this forum's CP-thread have been done better than that OFP2 pic.

Problem is that thus far all of OFP2's released images have been renders in CGI, only just now has there been some showing of ingame content.

Why are people so easily blinded by their preferences?

But there is a -real- ingame video.

Though it is small and behind the guy interviewed. But enough to make an opinion on the graphics.

What i would like to see for both games is more about features and the simulation qualityn than just the graphical part.

Both are "good looking" enough for a sim, now get the gameplay video rolling instead of just nearly useless visuals boasting.

Absolutely agree! This video absolutely blows it away! Check out the helo model in This Clip!

Doh, maybe i need to start using a higher resolution, now i was too lazy to scroll..

Yeah I was watching that rather then looking at the guys face, I was very pleased to see that the contrast isn't how it was on the images..I felt like I was staring at paintings.

My biggest gripe with OFP thus far has been "show us ingame stuff, not renders" and they've done that, I still find the images of the seahawk questionale as to why they have that lighting instead of what was seen in the video (which was stated to not even have the shaders loaded..guess normal and specular maps aren't considered shaders anymore, bah)

But yes I agree,both games look excellent in their graphics (if anything history has taught us that sims aren't really supposed to have great graphics) but it still remains to be seen gameplaywise.

OFP2 has alot going for it especially if they impliment the animations we saw in previous video's such as vehicle entry. I do want to see CM succeed with their expectations and promises and I don't have anything against them now that we've seen ingame content.

@ Red kite Wow! I'm just amazed, the helicopter didn't blow up when it hit the tree and neither did it blow up when it hit the ground, it even span around several times before the rotors were broken, I'm in awe...though I think the rotors would bend horribly within a few moments of spinning..then again I'm no expert on that. Either way the game has an excellent flight mode.

What a bright idea, lets take the ugliest screenshot/render we can find of OFP...blah blah blah, random drivel

Are you purposefully trying to be an idiot? At the time, it was the only actual ingame image available. How could any other picture be compared, when no other existed, at least publically. This has ALREADY been said. Get over it.
