Operation Flashpoint 2 preview and screenies
- Thread starter NoxNoctum
- Start date
Well I suppose it's just the demo mission. Hate how they just run up the hill into the village and inside the village they just run, stop and prone on a road :||

Understood.
If you do things through the editor, you can give yourself pretty much 100% control of your squad.
It makes for interesting game-play.
I hear there is a deal over at Steam.

PC Gamer UK reviewed the game and scored it 69%.
Their verdict: An attractive and powerful sim that spoils itself by trying too hard to be a straightforward infantry shooter.

Started playing it today and so far I think it's pretty much crap. So far there seems to be no real story at all resulting in hardly any real atmosphere, ArmA2 did this MUCH MUCH better. There's a little console feeling to it but not so much that it would seriously bother me. Graphics are average but not as bad as I thought. Right now I'm seriously asking myself if there's actually anything about this game worth giving it another chance. It's just so mediocre.

I finished the campaign this weekend, after a lot of frustration, and theres NO sense of acheivement, just a short "win" movie and credits roll... last mission was kinda fun since you can basically get a tank and roll all over.
Tried multiplayer but hardly any servers and play is just chaotic with guys swooping around in helos...

And if they are smart they don't because then nobody would spend another dime for the game.
It's just that bad. And another lie to add to CM's list.

It's really funny because a year or something ago with GRID, Overlord, and the still promising look of OFP2 CM was actually one of my favourite publishers, but it's really gone extremely downhill.

Haven't tested the demo's MP functionality yet (and probably won't), but the SP mission failed to excite me. Graphics are very bland (and LOD scaling seems to be very aggressive), and the interface has an obvious console heritage. In a few cases this works (squad control is more intuitive than in the OFP incarnations by BIS), in many more it feels clunky and limits your options. I'd say that's the deal-breaker for me.
With CM trying to base this on consoles, and BIS refusing to actually improve OFP in 2 sequels, the franchise seems to be dead. Maybe a joint production could've worked, the separate attempts clearly didn't.
I like the game, a shame it never got a worthy successor

I can't take it seriously, it's just rubbish.
Was that to harsh, after only playing the demo for a few minutes ?
Ok, I'm not impressed...

I cant believe PC Zone gave this game 90%. Someone must have stripped out the existing team and replaced them with a bunch of easily pleased, console-fanboys. **** me if i ever buy their magazine ever again!
Ok i did not give this demo a fair crack of the whip but the controls are awful. Not only do the menu's suck and require more back and forth action than a lady of the night, the mouse movement seems to be ported over from the Xbox 360 controller. There is a slight bit of input lag and aiming does not reflect how my mouse normally controls my computer.
POS.
