ARMA 2 or Operation Flashpoint 2?

[SlipStream77]

Both are due for release a little later this year.

http://www.codemasters.com/flashpoint/

I'd be interested to know which sim people are most anticipating.

Operation flashpoint 2 on the 360 will be mind blowingly good! Ive been dancing around in anticipation since I first heard about it.

I loved the original flashpoint on the PC, fired it up the other day and it still plays really well. I think I'll be getting Flaspoint2, but just not sure what platform I'll get it for.

If I had to choose one right now without the benefit of waiting for other users opinions, I'd have to go for ArmA2, because I trust the Op Flashpoint developers to do a better job of improving on the original than whoever Codemasters have got to do their version...

Both

Will be getting it on PC for 3 reasons,

1) better online
2) better graphics
3) less lag

oh and from the sounds of things the online seems to be like an mmo with the amout of people in it!

I was a huge fan of OFP but I reckon that OFP2 could be great - surely CM will be aware of it's following and make a big effort with the new one. It's not as though they've rushed it out!

[molineux1980]

They both look fantastic - Tought choice!

When is OFP2 out?

[FLK]

I'll try both games but I'm expecting Bohemia to produce a more solid result than Codemasters with ARMA 2.

The website says Summer, I've heard that it should be out in May.

I really like the sound of the multiplayer side of Arma, but although the graphics are clearly great in both cases, I personally prefer those of OFP2.

I'm thinking I will have to get both of them.

If you have the original Operation Flashpoint, when you go to change your online face, my face is the default face.
My mate's face is the black guy who does your initial training too.

That's cool.

You look completely different in Far Cry 2

Nah not Far Cry, I was working for Codemasters when Bohemia were doing the original and they came round one lunchtime taking front and side shots of whoever wanted to be in the game.

"The Jackal" is one of the main characters in Far Cry 2.

[The_Jackal]

Ah right, ok I get you now, I'm not a Far Cry person/player.
I genuinely am the default online face in OFP1.
Am looking forward to both the above games anyway.

[riwiho]

Loved the origional OFP. OFP2 is one of the main reasons I am looking at a PC for my next computer, I know it will be released on the 360 but I want to give this game everything it deserves.

Flashpoint looks amazing!
