Happ' B'day OFP My new machin' is ready for ArmA.

...in a mission-demo we can hear a reworked "ofp-theme" from ofp...

yeah, but i hope bis' next contract won't

nice to see some gameplay of arma in this vid. presentation style wasn't good. but we don't know if ridl presented it to everyone like that

hm, they developed the content. now they can't use it anymore....

1.5 million copies of OFP were sold....and today no publisher for arma is defined. were the already multiple demands from big publishers and bis said "no thanks" or are the worldwide publishers not interested in selling bis products? i don't get it....

VBS = Bohemia Interactive Australia (BIA), not BIS. ok, let's say only BI then. BIA today is a one man show (David). Former VBS Designers (van 't Land and van Paassen) are working on Game 2 now.

I guess, she had no clue about BIS' work in the last years.... OFP:RE (June 2002) Patching OFP to 1.96 (2004) BIS Australia worked also on Independence Lost (IL) OFP 4 XBox VBS 1+2 ArmA Game 2

When the final Mission overview looks like this, there is a base to discuss about it. In this stadium a discussion is....useless.

Yeeeah. BIS, imagine all the feedbacks you can get with a little ambush-demo - ......for free

EiS-War Theatres sounds interesting: ....beginning in UK, crossing the woods of Germany to get to the Showdown in Czech territory.....not bad.

You're right. Electronic Arts made the deal, i'm kidding I wonder which strategy BIS Boys have in mind to publish AA. Is there no company with interest or is there no interest of BIS regarding Global Publishers? Hm, going back to sleep mode.

I'm impressed

It's simple: i'm disappointed. The tam-tam @ E3 in 2003 (note: 448 Days ago).......what for? Perhaps it's a joke

I'm sure there is work. I ask me for how long.... For developing games you need cash. 3 years after release of OFP 1 and the last Cash Cow in June '02 (OFP:R) -> 2 years!! <- they need OFP XBOX to be a hit an to get some money.... ....to finish their next work. If i'm wrong, if they take a bath in dollars every evening after the work, it's ok, no problem for me

There will be the 'Games Convention', from august 19th to 22th in Leipzig, Germany. And yes: Codemasters is in the Exhibitor's List (see: Ausstellerverzeichnis). What's that suppose to mean? Absolutely nothing http://www.gc-germany.de/

Hm, let's see. I bought CWC, RH, Resistance and GOTY. I spent 100+ hours to play OFP, read in forums etc. Probably, i'm gonna also buy OFP 2 . What else you expect

Why should BIS spend a lotz of money for original 60s and 70s soundtrack? That wouldn't be cheap.... They have Seventh, there are more independent groups around the globe and i believe that Ondrej Matejka has the "power" to create stunning soundtracks who could meet the quality of Jack Zimmer BIS and OFP2 should stay something special - there are enough other developers on the 'mainstream' .... have a nice day.

BIS has other things to do as scrolling history books forward and backward to don't miss anything who really happened in history etc. I'm sure that BIS will find a good solution to improve the technical details of OFP 1 and Resistance....let's hope to see the first screenshots during this summer.

It seems that "Gamestar", a german PC Magazine interviewed Marek Spanel a few hours ago in LA - here are the infos. Source. I try to translate Operation Flashpoint 2: Informations A playable version ofp OFP 2 wasn't shown on the E3. Instead of this fact, Marek Spanel talked to us about the following details of OFP 2: OFP 2 featuring 2 campaigns: in the 1st you will play an american GI who will fight first in Vietnam, later in Africa - campaign's primary goal will be the action. The theme of the 2nd campaign will be an invasion of Jugoslavia - campaign's playing goals here are more the tactics and roleplay elements....For the OFP-modding-scene BIS will release early enough tools so that them can rebuild scenarios in vietnam, africa and central europe. Only a "remastered" Graphic Engine will be used in OFP 2. here the original in German. Operation Flashpoint 2: Infos Eine spielbare Version von Operation Flashpoint 2 gab es auf der E3 nicht zu sehen. Dafür plauderte Bohemia-Chef Marek Španel eifrig aus dem Nähkästchen: So soll das Spiel zwei Kampagnen enthalten. In der ersten spielen Sie einen amerikanischen GI, der sich erst in Vietnam und dann in Afrika beweisen muss. Bei der zweiten erleben Sie eine Invasion von Jugoslawien. Während die erste Kampagne sehr actionlastig werden soll, sieht Bohemia für die andere mehr Taktik- und Rollenspiel-Elemente vor. Für die Modding-Szene will die Firma rechtzeitig genug Materialien aus den drei Szenarien zur Verfügung stellen, um eigene Karten zu erstellen, die in der Wüste, in Asien oder Ost-Europa spielen. Als Grafik-Engine kommt nur eine überarbeitete Version des ersten Teils zum Einsatz.

First priority: Central Europe. Something like "the spring of Prague 68-74" fits the timeline in ofp 2 - a fictive campaign in this area would do it perfectly . 2nd: Africa - we do need a 'hot' campaign/theme - winter 2004 will be cold

Music Themes and Campaign/Story in OFP were "independent". I hope there will be the same thing in OFP 2....
