AA and OFP2

Archived from groups: alt.games.operation-flashpoint (More info?)

Not sure if this article is old news, but I read it today, and it got me
hyped. H-Y-P-E-D!

I don't think I've ever been this excited about a game coming out.

Check it out.

Let's see - we don't actually HAVE a firm date yet do we? Has the RRP been
set?

So...does that mean they redid the original campaigns/missions with the new
engine?

I recently got a new machine and reinstalled the game, but find myself
somewhat bored with the campaign (I've played them so many times)...am I
gonna get more satisfaction out of AA replaying those, or are they gonna be
"same old, same old"? I'd still love to play the missions I'm familiar with
if they're using the new engine...

Well, the game will come with a new campaign and I would expect a handful of
single player missions. Maybe four or five multiplayer missions of which one
or two will be co-ops, a capture the flag, a deathmatch and potentially
something nice and new like TKOTH.

Even when there wasn't a discernable community as such when OFP1 was
released, there were still plenty of missions. The BAS addons are nice, but
I'm not bothered about them - the best enjoyment comes from the mission
creation and playing, and some good scripting!

I understand that the scripting language is AS-IS, but has been extended to
allow greater control.

The graphical and physics engines look to be improved.

Join in progress has been added.

What more could you want?

B.I. had no publisher for OFP1 for months after I could see from 6 measly
screen-shots that it was going to be the next great tactical shooter.

I wouldn't worry about that, either. Someone out there wants to make money.

I wouldn't mind just downloading it from the 'net.

And CafePress will burn and label CD's for you and allow you to set the
price on the product. CafePress could be their publishers, if "pressed".

Hi Uzi,

Publishing is not just about printing and labelling CD's. It involves hefty
negotation with other distributors, press releases and marketing - things
software houses aren't typically able to cope with.

I'm sure off the basis of the original, AA will be a hit with any publisher
they happen to have. Maybe Vivendi? They seem to be getting a lot of the FPS
business these days.
