Im with you on this one.
I dont know another game to date that has the abilities and scope of OFP,
despite its aging effects engine.
Even the AI are still up there with the best, and that will only get better
as VBS influences take hold.
I expect OFP2 to be a very realistic simulation, perhaps dumbed down by
selling features demanded by Codemasters.
As for the consoles, while the XBOX version has undoubtedly taken time from
OFP2 development, in a way it IS part of OFP2 development.
XBOX version will have Join in progress, slicker graphics, less CPU intense
etc etc, and that knowledge is being ported and carried over.
