I'm looking forward to OFP2 and ArmA2 coming out - they both look good.
Heres a new video from OFP2 - looks ideal for dMw community :boxing:

Looks good, but a bit old :g:
Has anyone got this? Any good?
Amazon and Play are selling @ Ã,£17.99, but not sure if it's worth getting :g:
Thinking about it:g:
Flashpoint 2 is really good, I've been enjoying it alot :)
I'm glad I got a free copy with my CPU. :sideways: I could be accused of not giving it a fair chance, but as soon as I schlepped across miles of terrain with a sidekick giving out the same old instructions 'rifleman. 200m. west' I knew I was taking a trip down memory lane. From the little I know of Arma2 it's a much better product. Also, there is no dedicated server which, in this day and age I would say is an absolute necessity. A :thumbsdown: from me.
Just out of curiosity I am acquiring the "trial version" to see what its like :norty: . For me, however, I come at it with a biased opinion. It really irks me when I read reviews and PR blurb stating; "Finally, The long awaited sequel to the acclaimed Operation Flashpoint has been released" :rolleyes:.
My intern showed it to me on his PC. At the beginning, you have to actually run more than 2 miles without any action around, which takes ages. Give me a break. Simulation or not, could they not have shorten this to 0.5 miles?
I've got this on order. I actually liked the style of play of the first game. Lots of nothing and then mayhem. Sort of a soldier sim. I also went anorak and bought all the expansions too. So I'm sort of addicted.

It's actually not that bad - you can commandeer a jeep to get you to the LZ much faster (unless you blew them all up :P), however if you choose to complete all the secondary objectives (which are very much scattered across the first island), well, kudos to you if you can hold onto a vehicle through all that.
Fortunately I've played through the next few missions and I haven't come across a similar situation, some bits are very hard though, so lots of dying and retrying!
On the whole I rather like the game, though it has its flaws. Is anyone up for a bit of co-op at some point?
I'm ignoring the secondary missions and just going with the main objectives. So far I'm loving it. However that might be down to me finally having a PC that can render all the graphics with no problem :)
Note to self. Don't judge a game from the first two missions.
Dreadfull squad AI, a totally rubbish and cack handed squad order systems, broken vehicles, loads of pointless running about with zero sense of tension (plenty in the first game) and a rubbish user manual.

THat game is a lame console port, BUT with friends the multiplayer is pretty fun :) And there should be coming a big DLC that fixes the most problems with multiplayer.
Well I played through it a bit more and I must agree that the AI is rubbish, your squad are useless except for drawing fire away from you, and the save system is appallingly bad which frequently leads to 15-20 minute sections being repeated over and over.
Overall I'm still quite enjoying it though.
Bought it and played sp and coop and thought it was an also ran - seen it before - brings nothing new to the genre - its not bad but its not that good either...
I might give it a bit more time but I'm not hopeful.
So who has got the game ? And would anyone up for a MP or co-op missions as it got the first patch yesterday.

Maybe, but I'm more keen on giving ArmA2 a whirl at the moment, which IMO is the better game.
If there are enough takers I could be persuaded though.
