That's why I said they can't technically announce it without certain requirements. There is like 5 Q&A videoes of BIS devs on Youtube stating that they are developing for the xbox because they need the money and to bring a hardcore game to consoles for once.

ya arma is most definately going to consoles , and operation flashpoint looks like horse crap. 4vs4 online? please .....

When ? A year ? 2 ? 4 ? Like Ofp ?

Yea, the mp #"s are low for consols, that sucks, but it's really gonna be 16 vs 16 with the ai. The ai is gonna make or break this game. Hopefully it's good, playing h-core/co-op, with 3 friends should be good. Sorry for gettin off topic again.

I just hope Sim mode will be played enough online!

it doesnt matter really , even if arma ships broken like it did on pc 3 years from now it will still be thousands of times better than operation flashpoint

And no , its not going to be "16vs16"

They are trying to actually push the idea that the AI is half decent , its not , if you watch the videos you can see how bad it is , one in particular the player busts down the door of a house to find 2 chinese , he kills them both without even getting shot at.

what its going to be like is 4 players leaving their squads at the spawn to go off and fight , the vehicles are useless with 4 human players, and the map is useless considering you can have one hell of a "match" with 3 buildings and a road.

Okay guys I'm really sorry but this conversation doesn't belong here.

I feel the thread has gone way off topic and should be closed if this keeps up.

Back on topic... I think BoP could sell and get enough support for a sequel.

Yeh i see this game doing realy quite well

I don't think it will do Ace Combat numbers, but I think it will sell very well for the genre.

A lot of people I know were pretty stoked after playing the demo, not the sort who had ever even picked up a flight sim before. I'm not sure it will sell loads straight away but I reckon it will do steady business and pick up a following.

Due to the three modes of play the game is highly versatile and accessible. If the multiplayer is good, I believe we will be posting about the release date of BOP2 next year.
