I just hope they find a better name for it, assuming it doesn't end up as Op Flash 2 after all.

update...news from E3 is that OPF2 and Armed Assault are separate projects.

from the simHQ E3 report:
"The last thing I did before heading for the plane was stop by Bohemia Interactive to get a look at Operation Flashpoint 2. If you want to talk about hiding a light under a bushel they seem to be doing it. Bohemia had a small little closed meeting room and didn't appear to be making any real noise at the event. I will say this, what they are going to put out in the next year or so will definitely make some noise.

First off, there is some confusion over the name Operation Flashpoint 2 and Armed Assault. These are actually two different games. Armed Assault is, from what I understand, an interim title using the engine developed originally for military use. Armed Assault will feature a new engine, multiplayer code, and physics but retaining much of the original game play from the first game. The game will ship essentially with the original Operation Flashpoint and Resistance (sorry, no Red Hammer) style mission setup.

The really cool thing about this game is that the game will allow the importation of most of the mods and user made add ons that have literally transformed this game into whatever you want it to be. This game sounds to be something of a hybrid, not a 'true' new game in the total sense but essentially a new game in many of the most significant features. The game is planned for release sometime in quarter four of this year."

Funny,...I see absolutely nothing different from the current OFP with the graphics at the highest setting, except for modern equipment, and that can already be found from 3rd-party fans.

IMO, AA is really nothing more than an attempt to extend the life of the old OFP engine, where OFP 2 is "supposed" to be based on a new engine.

Oh well, I'm sure big-time OFP fans will enjoy it all.

Whats wrong with extending the life of an already great game? I'm looking forward to the Join-in-progress for MP games and the VBS standard graphics.

I'm sure there's gonna be more stuff.
