I was expecting more from OFP2, even though Bohemia has moved on with the Arma series I was hopingi that ofp would at least be decent and lean toward the style that made ofp the name it is.

The recent videos make the game look more like Brothers in arms mixed with Call of duty.

ArmA 2 would have been called OFP2 if it wasnt for Codemasters involvement.

ARMAII is for "real men", OFP (the second by name but not by nature) will be for "not real men"!.

When I was a lad, we used to do the same thing up the woods.
Real lad's threw stones, kids threw swear words, ran home and told mum....:D

I'm the first that want to give this one a chance, having said that, I also have to say that I'm very disappointed with the lastest video, I still hope that idiot that was playing was doing it on easy

the headshot and the crosshair are dificulty related, the artillery is just a bad graphic effect, but those explosive barrels are inexcusable, oil drums just don't explode in real life

Edit: Also, realizm is no longer brown, now itz green

the barrels alone i could live with. just one minor annoyance. but it's the sum of these minor annoyances that start putting me off. the muzzle flashes look ugly and overdone, the arty, the not very convincing behaviour of the gun. it draws a picture that just doesnt look very good.

Agreed. Looks very much . . . BF2'ish.

I'm sure they're aiming for Project Reality players rather than hardcore OFP'ers.

I lol'd when he said he'd taken a hit to the head its nothing serious but i'm bleeding heavily lol wat a joke. Tbh this looks like a slightly more realistic cod with open levels and honestly wats with the stupid barrel bit i mean come on, as if the ability to take bullets to the face wasnt enough they include conviently placed exploding barrels:rolleyes:.

"Thankfully, the bit of my brain the bullet removed has only to do with high level functions, like making a decent tactical simulator. I am still free to run, jump and hold my gun out in front of me all the time like a goose." - quoted from some other guy :D

Anyways, picked up some more news: apparently there will be no leaning in Dragon Rising either.

Hold your tongues lads, it might be a good game, with a bit of luck.

I 'll wait and see.

Lack of "leaning" would be a good thing in my opinion.
Then again, my hopes of ever seeing a worthy OFP successor were already soundly crushed by ArmA, not my intention to grant Codemasters an opportunity to do the same :/

The funny thing is, while OFP had no lean, OFP:Elite on xbox did have it.

I stopped caring, unless there's an overwhelming reaction to this when it comes out it's off my radar from now on.
