The military simulators are based on Bohemia Interactive’s work not on Codemasters. They parted their ways some years back which is what ArmA (BIS) and Operation Flashpoint (CM) are two completely separate products.

ArmA was disappointing for me too, I spent hundreds of hours playing OFP MP but I really couldn’t get any enthusiasm for the game, perhaps ArmA2 will be an improvement.

OFP2 certainly looks pretty nice, hopefully it’ll play that way as well.

Well they would have brang this out ages ago but the army funny enough was usin it at the time to get people to understand about the atmo of war before they actually went out ther.

Patrick do you remeber “Team Yankee”?
Don’t ya think it would be cool for them to possibly mod either of these games to recreate “Team Yankee”, but how it should have been done?

You CAN NOT compare operaton flashpoint to COD4. Not even in the same category.

Operation flashpoint is pretty much a “war simulator.” You need to play smart, like a real soldier would or you die. It has a semi steep learning curve. Very rewarding game when you get the hang of it, understand it and can play with enough smarts to excute your own tactics and see them unfold in real time. Ranks up there as one of best games ever IMO. I hope it better than ARMA, ARMA was pretty disappointing.

The first one’s years old. They’ve been planning a sequel for an awfully long time. Not sure without checking but it’s been in the works for a good while.

I’ve not heard of this game, how does it compare to COD4 in terms of gameplay?

OK the interweb answered that for me, it’s dated a bit

My pleasure

It used to be a big game in the Dennis offices on CVG, back in the day.
