    BIS @ E3: Confirmed!

    Good news, and some at last! Yet it is yet unknown if the X-BOX version of OFP is armed assault, judging by what was said, the answer seems to be no. So speculation continues about Armed Assault...

    Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers

    Image 1 I wonder who those guys are... they are armed with a G3 rifle, which almost no army in Europe uses except....my country... Can anyone identify who those guys are? See if you can check that. Unless thats not a G3 but an FN-FAL or something...

    BIS @ E3: Confirmed!

    I dont think that Bohemia Interactive is planning to show screenshots nor videos of Operation Flashpoint 2. We may get that kind of media with Operation Flashpoint X-Box. Yet im disappointed with the delay of OFP for X-Box. Not because I want to play it, but because the new generation consoles are at the door. I find it weird to launch a game for x-box at the end of this year, with X-Box 360 being presented this summer. Sincerely, I dont believe the game will sell much, thanks to codemasters for its excellent marketing campaign, it wouldnt surprise me. I just hope BIS did this step back on OFP-E due to software reasons and not marketing. Now back to OFP2. A trailer at most, showing some kind of presentation of OFP2. That would be the most we could get. But hows that, when only 2 BIS team members go to E3. I think its obvious for us not get our expectations too high. Either way, regarding OFP2 or OFP-E, or any other product, I believe BIS knows what they are doing. Im a fan of OFP and will remain loyal to BIS up to the last second. Godspeed.

    Lol! Conspiracy...I bet that when the BIS crew visits the forum, they laugh all the day! Now seriously...thanks placebo. The fact that you are working hard on OFP2 is enough for me to post on this foruns...something that im rarely doing latetly. Again, my sincere apreciation for your statement. Godspeed.

  8. Hi there guys, I was thinking, about the helicopters/gunships and the aircraft cockpits and I was thinking, if we could make use of them. Maybe some of you have already played a modern combat flight sim, such as Lock On Modern Air Combat or Falcon 4.0, Longbow II a simulator of gunships. These are simulators and one of their objective is recreate the cockpits inside the aircraft as better as possible. Do you think the same should be applied in OFP2? This is my main question, and it is for you to answer. Now my opinion. As you know in Operation Flashpoint, when you board a gunship or an modern combat jet, you will not have a HUD (Heads Up Display) yet an interface that helps you to face your opponents by displaying their positions. Yet I would like some changes. Let me just make a point in this discussion: I do not want a flight simulator in this game. There are 2 changes that I want: 1- Cockpit instruments that are usefull not just textures. Horizontal horizon, altitude indicator (or altimeter), speed indicator, etc. I want them to be usefull and I dont an interface indicating my speed and altitude otherwise the instruments would useless. 2- HUD. I want some HUD that look like the reality ones, but dont have diferent combat and flights modes. You know just a small HUD indicating my altitude and my Speed, my heading. Combat systems too, but very basic, like lock and fire. Not much complicated. (although this for me is "piece of cake") Just one more thing: when hit and not destroyed our aircraft HUD should disable itself. Why these changes? Well, before I state my reasons I should warn you that I never played in multi player this game. These changes have a simple porpose: to distinguish pilots from infantry men. In OFP an Infantry man can use an Helicopter, but they may not be pilots because 1- there are too many pilots 2- They prefer gunfights on the ground. By adding these changes many "happy triger" people that just want to pop some tanks would leave the "pilot life". After all this is a simulation, and I personnally think that gunships and aircraft with simple control management are like weapons of mass destruction in OFP1. Let's hope the sequel changes that. Well now to the moderators: sorry if this is a repost. I used the search button and I read the wishlist summary. Regards to all.

    The Iraq thread 4

    Maybe its old but i'd like you guys to check this: http://www.forumdefesa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=690&start=45 Check the image on the last post. A terrible war, in which not only coalition forces and civilians die (and fortuntantly terrorists and rebels)...also Iraqui military.

    The Iraq thread 4

    An intersting matter, but I think some people are missing the point of this war. I remeber when i saw a Vietnam War movie in which a US Soldier, violated a vietnamese woman, because the vietcong soldiers killed some US soldiers of the guy that violated the woman. (im being a bit confusing now :P) When you see your families, your friends or your friendly soldiers die, it doesnt matter the target as long as it is of the enemy race. Abugraib prison case was in fact a disaster. Apparently that torture was planned even before the war started. It were the US secret serviçes agencies that did request the soldiers to torture the Iraqis that way. However if i was a soldier, godamn i would never do that. The bombing were a partial disaster though. In the beggining few civilians were hit by bombs. I think it was worst in Afeghanistan. The marine shot the unarmed Iraqui civilian. I can say that he needs more psycological support, so when he sees his soldiers being shot down, he doesnt say "f*** this, f*** these Iraqis" and starts shooting every Iraq when he get a chance. Also, the resistence fighters arent going anywhere. Using terrorism as a weapon is the first mistake of many. Many Iraqui people are blind and ignorant, they just follow the orders of their religious leaders that want Iraq. And when those leaders get to power, they establish dictatorial regimes, and people start hating him and then war starts. To be honest some people here, were probably never in the military for more than a year, and never went to war. Attacking civilians and torturing arent the correct atitudes for sure. But when you start to fell fear, you shoot evrything that looks suspicious. BTW, the niece case. It was her fault. It could have been a terrorist remember? And then kaboom! 3 american soldiers go home...in a bodybag. Everyone must follow the rules to prevent terror.

    Where Are You From

    Portugal, Vila Real 15 years old.
  12. Well, by Spring 2006 ill be finishing the last year at school. Then I will go to the recruit of the portuguese army, then enter the army, then qualify to be a Ranger of the Special Forces. I dont think ill like games by that time. 3 years of waiting for OFP2. 3 damn years...

    OFP2: Modern Military Combat Simulation

  15. Well well, what do we have here? Hum, lets see. "I want a patch" "I want an expansion" Nice stuff. Need I remind that OFP for X-Box is in production? Theres no way you can possibly get a patch, and NOT an expansion. Looks like you guys need a situation report. Here is my sitrep: Initially OFP2 was going into develpment, but BIS decided to work on an OFP version for X-BOX. Initially it was a simple project, get the interface for a console and all that stuff, but then they decided to change the graphic engine and improve it. We have fine graphics on X-box thrust me. ;) After, and i should repeat this word, after, OFP X-box, is complete, the OFP2 development will start. The delay was a..lets say, "crash caused crash" What I mean with this, is if OFP X-box is delayed, OFP2 is delayed too. And FYI OFP X-box will be released, this October. Regards and dont cry, I will be on the reruit by Winter 2006 Lol!
  16. Operation wait for the point!
  17. Well I never downloaded F/A-18s or F-16s. I must agree that these kind of aircraft have a high speed and acceleration for these scenarios of 100 square Km. (?) Gunships though should continue in OFP.
  18. HKFlash

    I just want to know one thing

    We must wait until OFP for X-BOX is released. OFP2 was announced too earlier that's all. ETA for OFP X-Box October or September.

    Game physics

    Personnaly I think the 5.56 ammo is getting obsolete. What is needed today is something between 5.56 and 7.62.
  20. No it doesnt suck. The helicopters in Desert Combat and the Harrier are both hard to pilot.

    Update site?

    Hahah! This only proves the kind of communication of BIS towards its costumers and fans. We are in the year 2004 end of july, and the news about the scenarios of Africa, Europe and Asia, were about....May 2003. Im sorry but didnt even knew that the scenarios had changed. (probably to islands, which honestly are the best scenarios for this game) In one word: funny.
  25. Hi there guys, Im new around here This image from Operation Flashpoint for X-BOX. I was suprised by the quality of it.
