I have found on numersous OFP fan sites, news of OFP 2!

The official site is here, it doesn't say much, but at least it proves the game's existence.

[Darkage]

I am gonna watch this closely, and if it's as good as the frist one then i'll proberly buy it:)

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Only probably?

[Gortef]

well... propably
You never know

Look's like a winner though

[RangerKarl]

What, 2? Oh crap, like 1 wasn't big OR hard enough. I hope they manage to stick working radar equipment in this time.

[Crazy_Ivan80]

I hope it really gets a dynamic campaign...

'another theatre in modern warfare' : what could that be? Vietnam? although there have been a rather large number of games with that setting.

Any guesses?

as OpFlash1 being hard... meh, only if you can't read a map.

Resistance is very hard, so is Red Hammer.

I have still to complete Resistance without cheating.

Operation Flashpoint 2: Shock and Awe

[Zeronet]

Of course its Vietnam. How do i know this?

Well compare this picture on the operation flashpoint 2 site.

To this one below of US marines on a combat-recon mission in Vietnam.

May be that's just filler until they get a decent pic?

But you're probably right. There have been a lot of 'Nam mods for OFP, so it's only fair that the developers (and who knows even the publishers) take notice of the game's fans.

If only Interplay could do the same...

Nah...Sony trademarked 'Shock And Awe' within a couple of days of the war starting.  Sony America, shockingly enough.....

I hope Op2 isn't set in Vietnam, though - what little I konw of 'Nam suggests it was pretty much a case of shooting at bushes while someone shot at you - not great for a game like Flashpoint IMO.  Plus there weren't really any tanks or air support for the Vietcong AFAIK - which would hurt variety.  On the other hand, you;d get a Huey.....  I can only actually think of one game set in 'Nam, though , and I'm not sure if it's out yet.  Think it's called Vietcong or something.

NB:  Bear in mind - the first game had a picture of a soldier on the box too, but it wasn;t even set in a 'real' war.

And unless they overhauled the engine completely, 'nam would not work. Trees and bushes don't look that good in OFP, so I doubt they would make a jungle-based game, as it would just look horrid.

no they didn't. They tried to do it but failed, or rather, backed down.

[Zeronet]

I guess time will prove me right, seeing as everybody refuses to believe its set in Nam.

I actually think the OFP engine does jungle rather good, nothing like a good SEB game.

[pyro-manic]

This is really annoying me...

I couldn't get OPFLASH to work on my PC.  It installed just fine, and ran no problem. Just one thing though - NO PICTURE. I got the sounds and everything - I could even start a game (by accidentally clicking the start button even though I couldn't see it), though I didn't last very long.  I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card, etc. I even tried a different copy of the game ( in case it was faulty), but nothing. Not a thing.

AAAAAGHH!

Anyone have any ideas? I really want to play it (Hidden and Dangerous kicked ass), but I can't find any help anywhere.

I think the engines going to be overhauled / rewritten for Op2, anways.  Especially given the release data and the time before it was announced.

What's your GFX card, and what res/colour depth were you running OFP in?

[Hudzy]

Could anyone actually run Flashpoint: Resistance at full detail levels?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I've got all the textures at 2048*2048, but as for the detail slider in the game's own video control panel it's at 6..18, or whatever it is.

I only get slowdown when it's loading an Island, and when there are a lot, and I mean A LOT of units on screen.
