I had contacted BR about the artillery and possible update and he said due to real life obligations it will be some time before an update is done. Also, the artillery was disabled due to problems it was causing.

I was under the impression that the console version for ArmA II was canceled, unless I heard wrong?

It's the only BI game I'm playing. Until I get a new system to run ArmA or ArmA, OFP will always be something I have. For those days you want to go retro OFP + ECP, and then OFP + MCM/SLX for others. Either way, it's one hell of a game.

I have yet to upgrade my computer (F/X from FFUR 2007 lags if that gives an indication), but I love OFP. I'm aiming to eventually get a new system, since it makes no sense to upgrade so I can join you guys with ArmA and possibly ArmA II. But there are just some of those days where I want to play a fun game, with OFP and ECP mod. You can still have the retro feel with some added perks. It doesn't feel like eight years has gone by for that game.

While I just registered today, I am certainly not a stranger to OFP (the one and only true Operation Flashpoint: CWC/Resistance) and ArmA I and II. I think a lot of gamers on other forums who are unfamiliar with ArmA, as in those bashing ArmA don't realize both games are very different and therefore shouldn't be compared. A friend of mine recently bought a copy of DR and I was able to play on a little. My first impressions were remembering the days of the original OFP: CWC and this new game DR were the pace of the game and overall feel. Although DR does factor in 'critical-hit' dynamics and a command system, it doesn't really have an atmospheric feel to the original OFP or ArmA series. There isn't that same type of immersion I had when playing those games. Visually it's a nice game to look at, but I really can't say I would associate it with the original one that was released eight years ago. So at least in my opinion I don't consider it a sequel, but a different game entirely. Just my thoughts.
