I am so happy I did not tailor my next PC system around the release of this game, I thought the specs would be higher cause I was under the impression it was not a console port. Had plans to pre-order it but my intuition told me to hold on and read reviews and more important these days, forum feedback, so needless to say I doubt I will own it.

I have faith on Dice in regards to this, it is true that BC was a console only title, but with BC2 also coming to PC and what I might believe to be the case, and hope is that BF3 will be a PC exclusive, couse hopefully they make it to advanced for consoles.

Great info, have you tried co-op yet, I am curious as to if the tether limit applies on PC as well as console ?

"lay and steal ideas"...what did they steal, just curious since you say it ? Anyway I have held of a purchase, I might get it eventually but then at a bargain price, not full price that is for sure, my main reason would be getting it for co-op but what is this thing about the tether in MP?

Not quite sure about what to think about the video, I am impressed with the day\night cycle and the lightning but the environment and the buildings looks a bit cartoonish to me. And about the soldiers and the way that they move there is something off key to me. Like the movement is a bit to stiff and that they are "fat" or pressed together, a bit hard to explain. Overall I am "ok" with the video but I expected it to look a bit better, and by better I mean having a more realistic feel and atmosphere. I`ll reserve my judgement for now since there is still some news coming out tomorrow, but after I saw the latest ARMA II video I have to say that BIS really seems to pull of the realistic feel and atmosphere to a greater extent then the OFP2 video I saw today.

I`ll probably get OFP2 before ARMA2 as well, though for me it also has to do with the fact that I need a new PC which I intend to build around the specs for OFP2. I had much higher hopes for OFP2 vs ARMA2 initially but what I saw during the GC managed to close the gap somehow. Not completely though I still have more faith in OFP2 from a technical point of view, but as for gameplay I don`t know. Both games seems filled with atmosphere though from the screens so from a position as a gamer I can`t really complain.

They said "fastest aircraft" not plane. And 20 min with a chopper sounds more correct then a jet obviously, and as I have mentioned along time ago I don`t think there will be planes in OFP2 to operate only choppers. Planes are probably only for calling in airstrikes.

I don`t think they are photoshoped, I think they look quite similar to the prior in-game screens that was shown on GC. I agree on your critique though, but the brown sky could be due to alot of smoke maybe from fire etc ? Anyway I am happy it still looks\appears to be this good on a console, we can add the improvement of the time from today until release and then PC gamers can add extra quality on top of that. I am getting this for PC no doubt about that.

Som new screens here if you follow the link on the page. http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-189883.aspx Strange they have an old "Game2" screen there still. Screens look very good to me, though a bit to much bloom. Love the atmosphere it sets though, I guess all the screens etc we have seen is from the beach landing so I am curious as to how the other environments on the Island looks like.

New video is nice as is the features that it promises. However one thing that I still have some problems with is when you sprint the weapon goes down which is fine, but when you stop sprinting it appears hyper-fast in your view again. I would prefer a slower more natural fluid transference.

It doesn`t really make any sense to me that none of the team members can die. As mentioned before it is probably done so for a reason, though we might end up with the reason it is done for weight less then if it hadn`t been done that way at all. I would prefer a "Hidden and Dangerous" approach where you had to replace the team members.

Yeah I hope you are right, I guess you are Especially since then on PC the movement should be more fluid.

I have to share the sentiments like some others on the video. The press kit looks really good but then the video looks under pair if you set them up against eachother. Of course I don`t know which resolution the game ran on or the specs of the PC but it looked dated in my eyes. However the video quality was not the best so there is a greyzone there. If we look at the in-game screen on the ArmaII page then it clearly looks better then the video in my opinion so I don`t worry much as of yet. However for me to enjoy this game to the fullest I hope for improved veihcle (spelling) physics, smooth fps controls and better AI. The last one I can to some extent live with but the two first ones may be potential dealbreakers for me.

Excellent new screens, but as I said before my biggest concern is that the animations will look bulky. I need a video before I get to excited.

Wow I must say I am impressed, not only by the screens but more the feelings they project. Hopes are rising on my part now, and I pray the movement and animations will be fluid and not cumbersome then this is nearing a must have title for me.

I`m not that surprised it will be a Q1 2009 release, suits me fine personally anyway. And I have to say the latest screens look better then the previous ones, especially the first one of the four My interest for the game has risen now.

Wow thats great, 10 minutes....makes room for showing of alot of features.

Maybe the jeep has to take more detours  And it was "The fastest aircraft" the word jet was not mentioned.

No I think GT has got some problems, there is a youtube link in the official forums.

Awesome video, was the sequence of the tank at the end in-game ? Couse if it was then I`m sold, it looked excellent.

Well we all know that (at least I do :-)) but its part of the charme if you ask me gearing up for the release of a game. And if you ask me I`m interested in reading peoples views on games I am interested in. As I understand Codemasters is on E3 and OFP2 is listed as one of the games so I hope for some new info soon.

How big will the map be for ARMA 2 ? OFP2 operates with 220 sqkm landmass estimate.

I had hoped to see some in-game screens so I am a bit disapointed, but everything else sounds really great

OFP2 to be lead cover feature in August edition of PC Gamer it says now on the official forum, it will be an in-depth article on what to expect of the game. At least it looks like there will be some more firm information.
