Operation Flashpoint 2

Bloke down pub also did this presentation at E3 for me, I think this might even put a smile on Noms face 🙂

assuming they can come up with the goods, esspecially mounting vehicles, NO magic pockets and having to physically assemble a rocket launcher before you can use it, now thats realism 🙂

enjoy or moan about it being rendered CGI (even though its ingame) your choice 🙂

Some kind chap (in the pub) has put bulletin points in from Video too..

I spent some time watching the video and came up with a list of bulleted points that the video makes out.

Weapons:
Screenshot taken from the video

What I gathered from their presentation:

Research:
–Reportage Photography
–Documentary News Coverage
–Gritty blockbuster war films

Authenticity:
–400GB of data gathered
–Real world reference data
–Sent researches to the physical island to research info and imagery
–Sabots fire with effects that are realistic, in that the explosion few milliseconds after a round has left a tank’s turret for example are sped up and give an ultra realistic experience.
–Weapon systems on vehicles are realistic in that they deploy the way they should.
–Weapons all faithfully recreated to enhance realism and feel.

The Island:
–220km2 of terrain (or 134miles squared – of land, not including water)
–Wide range of terrain types:
—-Swamps
—-Grasslands
—-Forests
—-Rocky Mountains
–Crumbling soviet era architecture
— Nothing on the island was designed by mission designers, they are all real geographical places/locations.

Traveling from end to end on the island:
–Takes 4.5 hours to walk
–Takes 2 hours driving (in reasonably fast jeep)
–Takes 20 minutes to fly in the fastest jet

In-Game Footage/Info:
–Video:
—-No shaders are running/turned on (Hence no shadows)
–Info:
—-Multi-staged/functioned building distruction.
—-Multi-staged/functioned vehicle distruction/states
—-Multi-staged/functioned object distruction/states
—-If something blown up during the campaign, it will stay that way throughout the entire campaign.
—-Heavier weapons have to be carried, no magic pockets, they must be assembled.
—-Over 70 weapons in the game (Reference: Arma has 30)
—-Over 50 vehicle in the game
—-Player has to learn how individual vehicles are used and their roles
—-Terrain types effect each vehicle differently
—-Doors and hatches on vehicles are opened before entry/exiting
—-Animations for getting in/out of vehicles
—-Vehicles fitted with latest technology, all the way up to the wars in Afaganistan (Ex: UH60 Infared Baffle)

Lets hope its not hyped up like ARMA(shite game) / soldner / Halo 3 / Bioshock .. ok ok I’ve made my point 🙂

Some new images.. not much on the news front, but nice none the less
