dale0404 5 Posted June 3, 2008 Peeps, please dont flame me and I dont mean to cause any arguments. I have played OPF1 and I am now playing Arma which I love. With the release of Arma2 and OPF2 coming in the 'near' future which game will be the best and why? Like I said, please dont flame, I just want constructive comments. Thx for your time.

Mr_Tea 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Welcome to this Forums. The best would be, to wait for demos of both games and decide than which one to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogx 13 Posted June 3, 2008 Welcome to the forums. As for comparing Arma2 and OFP2, I don't really have much info on the latter. I only ever saw a kind of artistic rendering with two soldiers against a war torn backdrop. That's not exactly very indicative of a games features or playability. Do you have any resources for OFP2 features, screenshots etc.? Until I see any of that, my body and sould belongs exclusively to BIS and Arma2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaBrE_UK 0 Posted June 3, 2008 I agree; keeping an eye on both, on preview and review scores and the general comments across the Internet will give you some indication of the quality of the two games. Demos are a must. As for my opinion, I have no idea how OFP 2 will actually be because all we've had so far is renders and PR mumbo-jumbo. I really want it to be better than Arma 2 because as it stands, the information we've had on the latter is rather unambitious and not as groundbreaking as I'd hoped it would be. Only time will tell.

stakex 0 Posted June 3, 2008 This really isn't a good place to ask this question as this is where fans of BIS games hang out... just like it would be bias to ask this question of the OFP2 boards. Either way tho, the above posts are correct... not enough info has come out about OFP2 to make any kind of guess at which will be better. OFP2 likely has a larger dev team, and a bigger bank roll... so the potential is there for the game to be very good. But of course bigger team and more money does not promis to deliver a btter game. Speaking in the hypothetical... if the games engine looks fairly close to some of the renders we have seen (which is very possible) then its graphics will likely be much better then ArmA2's. So beyond that its a matter of how the gameplay itself is... if its an open world style similar to ARmA2's then its got a chance to be better. If its more of a restricted style along the lines of COD... then the game will have no chance of coming close to ArmA2 no matter how good the engine is. So lets figure the gameplay is fairly close, and OFP2 does have better graphics.... then it comes down to a battle of engines. If OFP2 has better developed physics and an in general better game engine.... ArmA2 is dead in the water. We all know the ArmA engine is very buggy and this likely won't change much in ArmA2. So if OFP2 has a better, more polished engine, its probly going to win the battle of the two games. Thats all hypotheticle tho... we really need more info on both games before a definate awnser can be given. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
