Well, it will be interesting to see if CM learns some things from their previous flop; but by the looks of it I don't think so.

Sion Lenton creative director of Codemasters: "...so it's really about making it fun, it should be a fun experience. All games should be fun *uhhmm* and that's why we're kinda moving out of this simulation pigeon hole really."

Depending on what you expect from a game like this, that could be both bad or good news.

well, they never really did a particularly good great job working the sandbox/simulation angle with dragon rising, so at least not trying too hard to be an OFP game may work out better. Maybe they'll pull off a decent game in a more casual direction.

I've played all the way through the campaign in Dragon Rising once and liked it, and I'll certainly give this one a try. I don't have much in the way of complaints about the whole Flashpoint series. Of course, being retired military, I tend to see all of them as GAMES, meant to be fun, and not simulations. Systems can be simulated. Experiences like ground combat cannot.

Cheers!

What I hated about Dragon Rising were the timed missions. I was enjoying it until that bloody airfield assault that whilst having the entire Chinese army flinging lead at you, you were expected to take the control tower in some silly amount of time. That tore it for me and I never progressed further in the campaign.

Hoping the new one has none of that.

Yeah, the timed missions were a bit of a pain, but overall I enjoyed it. The airfield assault I got through with relative ease, but the final mission was a real b*tch until I figured out the secret of how to succeed. The solution is fairly obscure, but if anyone wants to know, I'll tell you how to get it done.

Cheers!

That "moderator" happens to be well known in the modding community and has actually created a few mods for Arma1/2/OA. What have you created that allows you to call him "pathetic"?

If you knew anything about the OFP/Arma community, which goes alllll the way back to 2000 when the Codies used to be Bohemia's publisher, you would know where the drama comes from.
