Anybody going to be buying this? Looks absolutely brilliant and about 11 days to release. It's like a really realistic FPS.

Is this similar to Operation Flashpoint (I noticed it's the same developers)? I might check this one out.

Now that I've seen you can fuck about in the editor with how many things you want to start each faction with, then yes. I want it. A lot.

However, as I currently lack a computer that will hack supreme commander or even spore ffs (Crying or Very sad), I doubt it's going to come up.

Get the old Operation Flashpoint or ArmA 1. I used to have some right laughs making daft missions.

Hi
Bought it, 49p from game when I traded in Red Faction 2.

Seems ok, but like with all Bohemia games, its not optimized for shit.

Rig:
Windows Vista 64x
6Gb 800mhz DDr2
Geforce GTX 260 512MB RAM
Dual core 2.8Ghz

I'm running at 1680x1050 with low/med settings. Even with the tweaks I'm still getting slowdown.

Theres alot of improvements over Arma1, but still the same old problems.

1 shot wonder AI
Clunkey
CTD's
Texture pop in/flicker all over the shop
AI path finding bad
Mission triggers not triggering

I'm sure with patches will improve the game as it goes on, and need to do more of the single player to comment on the playability.

That's what pisses me off most about OFP and all its iterations. Uber sniper AI when you can barely see the enemy and the AI doing really silly things that makes a mockery of the "realism" claims.

This could be because they primarily use the engine for training purposes for the military, where multi player is the emphasis.

Either way I'm not bothering with it if its just another graphics upgrade to the same old problem.

That is the whole point of a sniper is it not?

Patches? Since when have those tossers ever successfully patched one of their rank bug-fest 'games'?

They couldn't code their way out of a wet bag. You spend more time trying to get the POS to run properly than play it.

Anything by Bohemia, avoid it like the plague.

From watching the trailers etc it looks like Joint ops and not a "new" game.

Will wait a while before I give out my hard earned.

How are the choppers like to fly with mouse and keyboard? I remember the old one had a hover mode that would slow you down but it took about 3 miles to do it so you had to crawl to wherever you needed to be or you missed your targets.

May have been easier with a joystick.....

Joint ops, now THAT'S a fun game that isn't too realistic but just about right.

I've got ArmA 1 but my desktop has a trojan so i'm re-installing windows on friday then might upgrade the PC. Not sure if it's worth it though, the PC gaming scene seems to have died down over the past few years.

agreed loved it had the best twin islands map, before EA started battlefield.

If only they could raise it from the ashs as they minced it with the patchs and then not patching the holes they made.

Ahhh good times!
