ofpdr? who is getting it ?
 

ok as you might know operation flashpoint dragon rising is out fri ...

are any of you guys getting it ?

would be good to play against some of you guys due to you fair play and sportsmanship :)

ive got some of me old games bagged and ready to trade in for it just countin down the days

so who is getting it ?

I'm getting it, I'd love to give you a game.

Kind of off-topic here, so it may get moved to another forum or w/e happens here, but yeah it does look excellent. Have you seen the 'Look and Feel' dev video? The one where dev lead pulls out an M4 and a Colt .45 at the end of the vid, real as far as I can tell - good old British humour there. Very impressive game though; physically modeled speed of sound, every bullet exists as a physical object in-game, and has ricochet and fragmentation modelling on contact/penetration. The tactical control of your squad also looks to be very deep. The fact that they've recorded as many real weapons and vehicles themselves, right down to micing up individual parts/ interiors on the vehicles, is hugely impressive. Sounds as if there's a whole heap of DLC planned too - maybe even hinting at a second, larger-scale conflict with jets etc going on the site linked in the sticky on their official forum.

I have a 360 so no,

4v4 MP is hardly a 'battle', and that it only has 2 game modes with 2 maps per mode of 2x2km even though the map is 220km2, absolute rubbish.

12 20-40 minute missions and no mission editor = a 6-8 hour game and no re-playability

They ought to remove the Op Flash bit from the title, it is nothing like the original. The finished game seems nothing more than a hook to sell me more missions (that I could make in an editor in 10 mins) and more areas of the map for MP (even though I already have the entire map on the disc). I'm very dissapointed with the work Codemasters have done.

OP/DR is a rental at best for me, I'm not buying it.

You see, I'm not really interested in the multiplayer anyway. I'll probably give it a go at some point, but the campaign is what I'm really buying it for.

but its not 4v4, each player had about 5 AI squad members to deploy, so really is 24 vs 24, and would you want to hunt around 220km looking for 24- soldiers? muppet.

if it is 24 vs 24, with only 8 human players... I might as well just play single player :S. I want to play against human players, not a bunch of AI :(

YES but the ai squaddies follow your command etc so you are playing a real person in effect :)

@house lovin the sarcastic humour :)

Map size worked well enough in the first one, using the entire map in MP, try using tanks and heli's in a 2x2 km map, what a joke

Feck AI squads, that's not MP is it ? that's SP, it's 4v4 MP no matter how you try to spin it.

Arma 2 is much better..

this X ten million

opflash will be garbage

I agree Arma 2 is better but I'll still be picking this one up on friday so count me in for some online action :)

ArmA2 isnt on 360 so I'm not bothered.

I've got my OFPDR pre-order in so mark me down.

count me in.i've had this game on preorder for since the beginning of the year.its gona be immense

Waiting to see a review. If it has the throwaway single player campaign typical of so many games these days, then no.

well to all those who said they are getting it fri see you on line :):)

and to all those that were whining about it i didnt ask for an opion on the game i asked who was getting it !!!;)

my copy is already paid for, just hope is not as bad as you guys say it is. Operaration flashpoint has a good reputation but it may be boring for some people who are used to arcade action of call of duty for the same reason people may find IL2 sturmovik simulation, too hard and slow paced. By the way how can you criticise a game or say that is worst than another when it is not even out??

as usual, you and your pathetic, no well thought comments. no insult intended lol

lol its gonna be great, its made by the same people with the same principals, its a military sim, not for noobs and kids, its gonna be fantastic. especially with the hard core mode. OpFlash 1 was amazing, and this is going to be even better.

It's not made by the same people... ARMA 1 & 2 is.

I cancelled my preorder as I'm extremely skeptic.

First off, I don't want to fight bots at all in MP. Also, I have more than 3 friends I regularly play with on xbox live... So 4 vs 4 multiplayer sounds horrific.

Is arma 2 coming to the PS3?

actually its made by codemasters , who published the first game but had nothing to do with the development of the first game


this game will be a shitty copy cat attempt at getting the same feeling of operation flashpoint , but will fail miserably since its been so dumbed down for console casuals .

no mission editor

No fixed wing aircraft

No custom weapon loadouts

No multiplayer (4vs4 with retarded bots is not multiplayer BTW if you ever played the first game)

And plenty of other things that make even a bug ridden game like arma 2 a WHOLE LOT BETTER on thousands of levels

no but its probly coming to 360 at some point

So you know this for a fact? That it will get ported to the 360 and not the PS3.

Links please, or wait you are probably going to say ps3 is inferior to 360 and they are not innovative.

I love your assumptions.

or you could play it before being an opinionated moron? Just a thought.

Ill be getting it for definate, absoloutly loved the originals, and yes, ARMA is an amazing game, truly the best miltary sim i have ever played, but i dont have a computer pokey enough for ARMA 2, so will have to settle for opflash =] and really, i dont care if its dumbed down a bit. BoP is dumbed down a bit [a lot?] but does that make it a shit game? I think not. To everyone who's gonna get it: i'll see ya friday :P or if any of you can get it by wednesday, ill see ya then :P and to the people who are whinging about its lack of options compared to the PC, heres a link to some boring military information on the internet you could perv over: www.stopmoaningyouwhineybitches.com

lol genius :) cya friday :) look forward to giving you a game, feel free to add me :)

thats a good point mate i mean how much have they taken out of il2 in birds of prey and its still a great game so it will be the same for flashpoint :)

hey you could of sent them to www.howtobeeabettermuppet.com lots of info there too lol

Already am :P AlexHolbrook :P

lol damnit, cool cant believe i didnt know lol.

Mwohahahaha i'm sneaky sneaky like a ninja :P

As far as I know Dragon Rising is to feature four player co-op for the entire single player camaign. That alone could be a huge selling factor, as players have been asking for that kind of thing for years. Me, im going to wait and see what its like either from playing a demo or one of my friends playing it.

I tottaly forgot about that feature, wow, cant wait to hook up with a few forum members and have a blast!!

If BoP was only 4v4 MP with an extremely restricted flight ceiling and boundary then it would almost be as bad as Dragon Rising.

I love tactical shooters and they're extremely rare these days but DR just looks like a mess at this point. They're marketing has been absymal: releasing pre-rendered video and "screenshots" and passing them off as in-game by being vague, making promises and ridiculous claims we now know they cannot back-up and constantly piggy backing Operation Flashpoint's name.

Why you would buy it on console with no mission editor, only 2 game modes with only 4 maps and a maximum of 8 real players is beyond me. The DLC will be priced afaik but then I guess the people who are willing to put down €50/60 for a game with the above content are willing to be fleeced.

The PC version is just a port of the console game with a built-in player cap of 32 with the same hard-wired restrictions on map size. But the real nail in it's coffin is no dedicated server files.

Rent it. Finish the campaign in a weekend and save your money for something better.

like what?modern warfare 2?which will be the same as every other cod game...maybe people are buyin it for console because thy dont have a pc,or they do but it wont run it,OR people on their friends list will be gettin it so they are was gona b people to play with an set games up quicker..

Or keep your miserable negative opinion to yourself, don't judge others who do appreciate the MANY good trailers and screenshots they have put out, of what appears to be an intricately detailed military simulation, which you in all likelihood dislike because you know you don't have the ability to play it with any great skill because you can't bunny-hop and won't have a nice pretty flashing HUD with which to spot the enemy coming.

And by trying to relate the gameplay of BoP being constrained to the same manners of OPFLASH is nothing short of retarded as they are two very different game types. Also you're neglecting the squad system which will be implemented, which for bomber formations would be a handy translation.

frankly you are clearly an over opinionated moron, who lacks the social skills to appreciate that others are entitled to like things you do not. cretin.

The only demo will be on PC.

Typical half-wit kiddie response. "WAAAH! WAAH! YOU DON'T LIKE THE GAME BECAUSE <insert regurgitated logical fallacy here> !" It's symptomatic of your childish mind that you believe everything you're told by a marketing company even when it's blatantly not true. OFP:DR is NOT "an intricately detailed military simulation" lol, even the devs wouldn't spew that garbage. It's a tactical shooter at best. Then, like the generic little kid you are you have to reference COD4 and then project till your tear ducts run dry.

Let's face it I was playing the real Operation Flashpoint while you were still a glint in the milkman's eye.

Frankly, you have the mental capacity of a pop-tart, as evidenced by your complete inability to defend the many glaring problems that make up the mess that is Dragon Rising.

A fanboy for a game you've never even played before, it doesn't get more idiotic than that.

i have not seen a beat down like that since rodney king

jesus christ HouseMD got owned.

i was totally 100% for this game when they annonced it , sure the fact bohemia had nothing to do with it bothered me , but just as i did with far cry 2. I believed that the devs would do the franchise good.
MISTAKE

Simple fact is , operation flashpoint is touted by its half retarded fanboy slaves as "The greatest military game ever" Completely ignoring the fact that arma 2 has been out for awhile. (in before the tears of "bu but it has bugs!1")

If arma 2 comes out on the 360 with a editor even with its shitty broken campaign , it will slap the living shit out of the 5+ years of "hard work" codemasters put into their clusterfuck identity crisis game.

I cannot find a game more suitable for pirating then that POS , i really hope the hype is limited to that god aweful cult house forum. because if the game does terribly maybe codemasters will lose interest and sell the name rights to somebody who wants to make the game what its supposed to be

I would say that slagging off a game which you have never even played is more idiotic actually :P

You say you can't understand why people would pay €50/60 for this game? Well here let me help you out with that, people will spend that money because they will be entertained by the game and enjoy playing it. Just because YOU might not doesn't mean others won't either. Now is that difficult for you to comprehend? Some people might be looking forward to the coop campaign and not give a stuff about online or it's lack of a mission builder.

I'm not a 'fanboy' of the game nor do I dislike it as I haven't played it yet. I do however regularly play Arma and Arma 2 which are great games on the Pc.


How old are you? 10?

this game is a sequel to operation flashpoint cold war crisis

He has played the first one

and this game has cut out nearly all of the integral features of the franchise and subsituted it with raw fish eggs and diarrhea.

Seriously , the only slobs defending this game are the people who have no clue what the hell operation flashpoint was about and how it played.

This game is basically a picture perfect scenario of PC gaming being raped of its pure and ingenious franchises of games.

I dont want to think about what is going to happen to crysis , thank god ubisoft canned world in conflict for the 360 , as that would have turned out like aids. (keep in mind that IMO WIC was in my top 5 of best games ever, operation flashpoint not being on the list)

all i can see is the typical responce of someone who likes to play cod cause it doesnt take any skill to play other than running around like a madman trying to get to the best hotspot so you can brag about how you pawn ppl on it to boost you fragile ego... or you run around jumping up and down like you have had an overdose of kangaroo juice how cool it must be to be you the one with the twitchyest finger pawning all those noobs over an over again to get prestige you know the pointless objective in all new cod games or you could run around shooting ppl with your GOLDEN mp4 ohhh the coolness is just oozing from you now all noobs should know there place and bow down to the greatness that is you

....BUT..

give you a game like flashpoint to play
where ohh.. my god wait a minute you have to THINK THE HORROR I MEAN A GAME where you have to use you brain to play what sort of game is that

WAIT what do you mean there is no minimap with the other team highlighted on it ......what you mean i have to LOOK for them but how am i supposed to pawn all the noobs now ???
not looking so smug now are you MUPPET!!!!

oh and lets not forget your PET TROLL how are you going to impress him now ????

That almost made sense.

Perhaps you should actually read what I wrote as I gave explanations why people shouldn't pay €50/60 for the game. Evidently, basic English was too difficult for you to understand.

wow you are ******* dumb , if you actually paid attention to what he wrote you would understand that he played the first operation flashpoint and liked it alot.

As far as the call of duty comments go , liking COD for being COD is fine and dandy.

Just because you get your ass RAPED every time you try "Reel TACKTIX" in a game that is based on having mindless gunragin fun, doesnt mean call of duty is a bad game.

What makes operation flashpoint 2 a bad game is the fact that unlike call of duty whos goal is a easy to pick up and play shooter to have fun with , opflash 2 tried to be a military simulator and turned out to be a POS without any real developmental direction towards realism or arcade in any sense. While it has realistic sounds and models , its controls like some battlefeild game and players can magically heal soliders with a medic bag.

They claim their engine is amazingly advanced and the draw distance is 20km , you can only play in 2x2 km of land in multiplayer , and there are only 4 "maps" in the game.

Its a joke , the developers of operation flashpoint are incompetent and IMO little gaijen entertainment has shown a successful way to take a pc franchise and put it on the console.

Codemasters has shown how to molest a franchise to the point where you want to forget about the good times you had with the first game

i already pre order it i would like to play some games with some u guys so hit me up when it comes out in couple days

I understand basic English fine thanks and your explanations as to why people shouldn't spend that money on the game are pathetic. People will be buying the game to play to enjoy regardless of how it compares to the original game. Can you not understand that some people want this game because it appeals to them as is? Fair enough you won't be spending money on it because you don't like what it has to offer but others do. It really is down to peoples preference as to what they feel is good value and what they are willing to spend on it. I would imagine a lot of people will be getting this game who have never even heard of let alone played the original game so your reasons are pretty much redundant to them.

What did you not understand?

:grin: You see, I couldn't have set this up better myself. You just, unwittingly (obviously), backed up everything I said about that other half-wit. You can't defend the game so you have to project childish insults about COD onto me as if this was some kind of counter argument.

It's not surprising really. OFP fans have long deserted Codemasters abortion and the console kiddies have been sucked in to fill the vacuum. If I'm looking smug now I'll be radiating beams of pure joy when all the moronic children like you pick up that game and realise everyone on MP is ramboing around and doing exactly like you do in COD4. Except there will only be 8 players...over p2p :grin:

really so the pet troll has a mind of his own then even if he does talk a load of crap

for your infomation i was quite good at cod4 and cod5 so you FAIL
i didnt get ass raped all the time in fact i used to enjoy taking down the smacktalking so called elite players
you know the ones like you and ya bossombuddy who talk crap over the mic all the time saying how your going to come rape someones family etc and calling ppl tards becuse they dont know that if you stand in the same spot over and over again getting cheap kills ppl think you are good and not a brainless moron
used to pee them off lots i could tell from the endless stream of abuse they would spout at me i mean they dont even have the brain power to work out that i can just unplug the headsett and carry on making them look stupid infront of all the noobs ..

i mean if everybody looked at your posts on this forum they will see a patern of utter crap and you didnt get the name of forum troll for nothing
anyway i think i just heard your mum calling i think its time for your cookies and milk must be nearly your bedtime or something ?

Which is why you can't actually respond to them? You think releasing a game with 2 MP modes and 4 maps on launch and then charging them for more maps and modes that should have been there in the first place is a good thing? You think constantly bragging about how big the island is and then admitting you can only play in a restricted box with a max of 8 people is a good thing?

:grin: I don't know if you're drunk or lobotomized but either way you firmly cemented your own fail right there.

you claim to have a good understanding of english ?? if that was the case then you would know that when i started this thread i asked who was getting the game and i in no way asked your opinion about the game but yet here you are spouting your crap so what cant you read english ????

HERE IS A BIG CLUE FOR YOU NOBODY GIVES A MONKEYS LEFT NUT WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!

Dont let the door hit you on the way out oh and take your pet troll with you !

That's it. Have a good cry and maybe mommy will tell the bad man to stop posting in your threads.

I did respond to them by saying that people will buy the game 'as is' because they are happy with what they are getting. Can you not see that there will be plenty of people out there who will buy the game and be very content and pleased with what they have bought? 2MP modes and 4 maps on launch is fine by me as I am only interested in the coop campiagn with my buddy. Also the size of the map is fine by me too for the same reason as above. I know what I'm getting with this game if I get it and I'm fine with it. If I spend money on something which gives me enjoyment, then as far as I'm concerned it isn't money wasted. If I want to play a hardcore soldier sim I'll hit up Arma 2 but if I want to play some coop with my buddy I'll hit up OFDR. I'm done with this thread for now as it's 04:20 and I need some sleep :)

It's pretty simple. If you play on consoles, there aren't any other choices, in terms of a realistic shooter.

oh the pain!!!! your so much more smarter than me and your big words hurt me so much i think im going to break down and cry

GET A LIFE you sad little NUGGET!!!

:grin: Just humour me for a second. I know it's against all reason and it's quite absurd given the tantrums you've been displaying but...1971 isn't your date of birth, right?

It couldn't be.

if you are so mature and intelligent then why fight over a game, that you dont even care about, with people that you say were not even a fertilsed egg when you were playing OF1?

p.s. guiltyspark is a little female dog, just wanted to throw that one out there jeje, hiding behind the man with cool words. no insult intended , peace comrades!

Well I will be getting it since the original developers decided not to make ARMA 2 for consoles.

And guiltyspark is the forum troll so if you ever find yourself agreeing with him you might want to take a step back and reevaluate your argument.

I'm not "fighting over a game", I'm laughing at these kids who have gone hysterical over my opinion on the game. I don't even know where you got the idea I "don't even care about" it. How else would I know so much about it if I wasn't once interested?

man, you should have not commented, there is a wise guy whom knows how to figure out our date of birth; he is going to know that you are from the future. :S

ARMA 2 dosnt work on PC so i dont think it will come to consoles.Im getting flashpoint on release day to tide me over till Bad company 2 is released.

Getting this on release, i played the original game years back.
So OFP DR will be my main game with Il2 till BFBC2 comes out!

imo, i may get this on PC, seems to be ok on mine for min requirements, but for the PS3, probably, but the game i am looking out for for 2010 is MAG, seems like an interesting game :)

yes, MAG sounds tempting. anyone here played the beta? how is it?

Lots of pages blah blah blah. I hate this game but love this one etc.
I liked OGR and OFPDR sounds more like a suped up OGR than a "true" segual to OFP to me. Does that bother me? No because the GRAW series are dire compaired to OGR.

For me you can either think of this as a totally new game (which it basically is due to the dev team situation), or think of its as a missed opertunity of a sequal.
A little from column A and a little from column B.

Oh and ArmA2 -was- going to come out on 360 (there are even early vids of it running with a 360 pad (but probably on a PC)) but its been long canned.

really eh ? tantrums
no mate the only one who is throwing a tantrum is you cause nobody is listening to what you say and doing as you tell them you even tryed to use all the big words you could to impress the resident troll oh guess its time for you to move on and maybe grow up

tantrum no fact i dont give a monkeys what you think about this game and i will still be buying it

the only reason i decide to feed you and your troll with an agument is becuse you saw fit to hijack my thread talk trash to ppl who post on here and to top it all you verbally abuse someone i talk to alot on here play on xbl with and have a great deal of respect for :evil:

in sort you and your pet troll are nothing more than forum parasites getting on everyones tits!!!

end of

Here I thought I was the only one looking foreward to BFBC 2 and OFP DR.OFP DR looks worrying though; the developers have been rather shady reguarding details of the game.I'll have to see a review first.

interesting... quite misguided, I don't believe everything the marketing department tell me, as I have researched thoroughly through many independent previews.

How old are you exactly? Because I played the Original Flashpoint as well, and I don't see how I did that from inside my father's scrotal sack (Milkman or not), and it was an amazing specimen of FPS technology.


frankly you post has resorted to nothing more than petty puerile name-calling, because you haven't got any solid evidence to back-up your ranting and trashing of a perfectly good game, that many people are awaiting the release of.

You might need a dictionary to hep with some of the bigger words, good luck.

Sweet, I'll give you a game when it arrives in all it's glory on friday morning, I'll play the tutorial first to work out the command system though, lol otherwise my guys will be doing the kraftwerk attempt at the Hokey Kokey, while others are tactically manoeuvring and encircling them. :D

ARMA II was announced for consoles a long time ago. It has a Q4 release date on IGN for 360 but I seriously doubt seeing that happen. More likely 2010. I hadn't seen any info on it being canceled but then I haven't heard anything on it in quite a while so that very well may be the case.

I will wait for a few more reviews from sites I trust like gametrailers before getting it although in all likeli-hood I will. The majority of reviews released so far have rated it above average to excellent . I have been waiting for a realistic military shooter for consoles in the vain of the first OFP for a long, long time. I am not happy about the gimpy multiplayer either but who knows, the gameplay may be refined and balanced enough that it still is fun on competitive multiplayer. Co-op should rock regardless.

And you came to the conclusion all by yourself that Dragon Rising is “an intricately detailed military simulation”. When it isn’t. Not even close.

If you played it, and I don’t believe for a microsecond you did, then you would know just how lacking Dragon Rising is. You would actually have a game to compare it to instead of immediately jumping to your only source of reference: Call of Duty4. The fact that you, and the other child, hilariously echo the cesspool of mewling cabbages the CM forum has become is not at all surprising. Real fans of OFP have long since departed.

Strange, as your very first reply to me was nothing more than “petty puerile name-calling” because you can’t defend the game or address the points I made about its limitations. Instead of acting like an adult and saying, “I don’t agree with you, here are some valid counter-points…” you opt for “WAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAH! MOROOON! YOU PLAY CALL OF DUTY! WAAAAH! WAAAAH!” and generally throw your toys out of the pram.

Priceless.

CM put a review embargo up until release date which only compounds their previous suspicious cancellation of the pre-release demo. I'm waiting for Eurogamer's review which will take MP into consideration as the SP campaign in Dragon Rising is very short even with co-op.

The PC post-release demo will be the real decider.

Eurogamer reviews usually make or break for me as well (the review text not the scores) but I did get suckered with a cheap pre-order for OFPDR (£29 from shopto).

wow £29 thats fair decent..mite have to go there an get it instead

Zatoichi Sanjuro were you born an obnoxious moron or do you have to practise at it every day ??

we have a different view to the game than you do stop trying to ram your point of view down our throats and get over yourself

you are an obnoxious self opinionated narcistic infantile ass
is that enough big words for you ??

why not go find another forum where ppl might be a bit more receptive of your forcefed view of the world or are you going to be like a fart and linger around long after everyone else has departed ?

should't worry about it mate, he's just another forum troll trying to get a response out of people. he can believe what he likes, just ignore him and he'll go away, we're gonna buy it, we're gonna have a great time playing it. and he'll be all alone with his CoD stats. Let it go, he's just some punk 12 year old from the deep south. It's all irrelevant. I look forward to giving you a game.

think what you said hits the nail on the head mate :)
yea we will have a great time playing it online just like we all do with bop and will be good to catch up with all you guys
not able to get online much this week im back at work and my gf is at home a lot this week so i might have to engage in some adult conversation on decorating, tv soaps and how her mates boyfriend is a moron lol oh the joy i can hardly contain myself lmao !!!:grin:

lol always fun, I'm in the middle of building two chicken proof wire cages o go over our two vegetable beds, and I'm also building a fence and gate to go between the garden and drive-way to keep our two chickens in :) and with any luck this weekend, we might go and look at a breeder in our county for 2 more chickens :) gotta love fresh eggs in the morning.

lol it scored a 8.1 at IGN

what a terrible flop of a game

yeh must be

Not a bad score on the surface but the review is piss poor. Also, he seems completely unaware it's not called Operation Flashpoint 2 and it isn't a direct sequel. Since the review embargo is the 6th this either broke it or was allowed by because it's somewhat favourable.

That is pretty bad. It's basically BIA:HH then.

it also says :

"Online, with friends, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising really shows off its best side – and the game is probably best played through co-operatively"

which im guessin is how a lot of people are gona play this.funny how you dont mention that bit

As I said before, I've heard the campaign is quite short which effects co-op. What also effects co-op is the fact you cannot go beyond 250m from your team leader, you only have four players, and you're playing over P2P.

I also didn't mention that he said there is a lack of mission variety which would also effect co-op's replayability. But then the review was poorly written.

I'll wait to see who they get from Eurogamer to do a proper write-up.
