The graphics look shit compared to the PC.
PC = 2048x2048 Resolution
XBOX = 640x480 Resolution
And what are Xbox owners gonna do when they start to find bugs?

I don't say that BIS should have put Flashpoint on PS2 or GameCube, but I think that putting that great title on a console is a really bad move and waste of time.

Whats so good about it being on the Xbox? Big deal.
The graphics look shit compared to the PC.
PC = 2048x2048 Resolution
XBOX = 640x480 Resolution
And what are Xbox owners gonna do when they start to find bugs?
The only game with bugs, are usually games that have been rushed to store shelves. Like "Enter The Matrix".
(where the game locks up after a boss fight)
Other than that, all console games are developed much more carefully. Developers obviously know that once the game is out, It's out, and no patches will be available.
Besides, now that most bug fixes have been found on the PC versions, BIS knows what to look for in the XBOX version.
And in a recent interview, Marek says that for XBOX you will notice improvments from the PC version.
(Higher detail models and lighting effects ETC)
The PC and XBOX resolution sizes like 2048x2048 and 640x640 have nothing to do with changing the visual quality.
You don't sit as close to a TV as you would a computer.
The resolution sizes will make very little difference to notice anything at all.
And the reason why It's a Big deal that OFP is being released on the Xbox is because:
-More OFP fans
(people will rent, or purchase the game, and the game will recieve many more fans, leading to interest in the PC version, and the Next OFP2. Leading to BIS laying in buckets of $$$http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge_o.gif . It's a smart move to put OFP on Xbox, and you will soon see why. )
- There are ALOT of None PC gamers
(sad but true, Console games recieve more attention than the PC. You don't see people crowding the streets for the New release of Geforce or Radeon, which is exactly what happened with PS2. Console games are easy, no installation required, no special specifications required, just pop the game in and play without any problems. People love this.)
So why buy OFP for Xbox?
Myself will be buying the game. While there may not be any addons that can be released, the downloadable content, and user made missions is good enough for me.
Having a taste of "join games in progress" is a whole new OFP thing that gets me exited, and I would'nt want to miss out ;)
Also, Marek says you will see Mixes with the original OFP engine, and mixes with the improved OFP2 engine.
Basically it's better to get the words out :
"OPERATION FLASHPOINT"
Because it will be the hype behind OFP 2.
Why was'nt it made for PS2?
I can only think 2 reasons.
1. It's a proven fact that Xbox development is alot more easy than the PS2. It's very difficult to make games for PS2.
2. Xbox has the hardware required. They call it the ultimate gaming console because of things other consoles cannot do.
And OFP for XBox will shine and prove it

that's one point I hate of X-Box, it's not a console it's a freggin PC!! I already have a PC and I don't need another one that can ONLY do gaming, the one I got right in front of me can do 10000x more things than the X-Box, so I prefer bying a real console like the GameCube, PS2 is only a semi-console because of is DVD movie playback option
real console = console use for gaming only and that don't look like a PC and not as big as a PC
oh, and you comparision with Nvidia and Radeon cards is very very stupid and inapropriate :
video cards : theyre is like a new one each 3-6 month for the same price of a console sometimes and have you ever saw a game that was using the new videocard capability right when the card come out and was coming with it? We got right now DX9.0 features availlable on some cards, you know any games using it at it's fullest?
console : you get games at the launch of the console that actully use the technology of the console at is fullest.

A PC is a general-purpose computer equipped with a microprocessor and designed to run especially commercial software for an individual user, and a programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data.
The XBox :a general-purpose console equipped with a microprocessor and designed to run especially commercial software for an individual user, and a programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data.
The Gamecube :a general-purpose console equipped with a microprocessor and designed to run especially commercial software for an individual user, and a programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data.
The PS2 :a general-purpose console equipped with a microprocessor and designed to run especially commercial software for an individual user, and a programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data.

What matters is, now the "none" PC gamers can play on the Xbox console. Alot of people have crap computers and can only use it for Aol Instant Messanger, or something else, and not gaming.

Maybey the Consoles are not strong enough to handle OFP.
If BIStudio managed to fit OFP on the little tiny gamecube I would be amazed. As for Ps2, I feel it does'nt have nearly enough power to handle OFP.

Sad to see that the same old mistakes are being perpetuated, like the lack of venting holes on top of the XM177/"M4" 's plastic foregrip, as with the M16A2 (the M203 handguard is also supposed to have them), and the incorrect webgear.
They look like PC screens, to me. Are these REALLY screens from the Xbox version, or just PC screens used to show people what the game will look like?
Would probably be worth it, though, just for the mid-game joining.
Can Xbox Live subscribers download addons for the Xbox version? Does it use the same file formats?
Didnt I just say?
Console Games for console people
PC games for PC people?

The fact is, if enough PROMOTION is made, for the Xbox version, it's better to make it look like one of th best Xbox games out there, rather than saying it's gonna be a piece of crap.
We already know it might not make PC gamers satisfied.
But at least make OFP the best console game on the Xbox.
Most of the time, the games are more of what counts.
The console is just something you play them on.

Another sad thing is that they're going to use that CodeMasters-selected name, again, "OPERATION Flashpoint". Personally, all of the old fans thought "Flashpoint" was good enough (and catchy, like "Half-Life"). Adding "Operation" at the beginning made it sound generic.
And is there a reason why they can't easily and quickly port the OFP for Xbox executable code BACK to the PC so that we can get mid-game joining until OFP2 comes out?
I agree with the Flashpoint thing. A little. but it's not even that big of a deal.
Quote[/b] ]And is there a reason why they can't easily and quickly port the OFP for Xbox executable code BACK to the PC so that we can get mid-game joining until OFP2 comes out?
I agree but -
1. Sales on both Xbox versions and OFP2 might drop.
Why buy the games for the features when you can just
download a patch?
2. This would take a long time to do. Almost like re-configuring the Flashpoint Multiplayer System. Re-Coding and doing all that other wierd stuff, and changing the way the game handles multiplayer support. OFP was not build for people to connect and disconnect every few minutes, it causes lag, mostly with all the custom stuff people use and we gotta download it all, increasing everyones ping.
They would need to improve the Multiplayer support by much.
http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif
3. PC and Consoles are different. You can't just slap a PC game onto the XBox and expect it to work.
Same thing vice versa.
It's a good idea to me... but BIS I think have their hands full somewhat. Trying to spank out the final juices in the XBox version, upgrading the original flashpoint engine to fit OFP2, making the final 1.92 patch, It's crazy I tell ya!

its not because the xbox looks like a huuge microwave that it means its powerful, have you already tried opening an xbox? so much free space for nothing inside.
PS2 is by faar the most powerful and the best of all 3.
it could handle ofp without a problem.
bis would make more money if they put ofp to ps2 instead of the crappy huge machine from gates corp.

yay some backup :P
Like they said, creating OFP on the Xbox was a very difficult thing to do, and was harder than they figured it would be (I could imagine)
Now developing OFP on a PS2? Heh.. Might as well throw yourself off a bridge in despair. I have nothing against Ps2, It's a great console, but when you use facts rather than your opinions, Xbox is clearly more powerfull than any other console.
Xbox is clearly more powerfull than any other console.
It is hard two compare two platforms which are based on very different architecture.
However the biggest obstacle when porting OFP to Xbox is size of the main memory - and this is the area in which Xbox is certainly most powerfull from all consoles currently available. I think making OFP without less then 64 MB memory is simply not possible (even this is hard enough - but I am qute confident the result will surprise many) - and this is the primary reason why we are not porting OFP for any other console than Xbox.

I know this is a little far off, but Suma if you're ever going to port OFP2 to a console, please get it onto a Sony console as well. They cleary dominate the console market, and it is very unfortunate that the PS2 cannot handle OFP. Also it's likely that the PS3 won't require people to pay an extra $20 just to use its online capabilities, so that pretty much means a larger online community.

They currently dominate but that is no indication for the future.
The nintendo console used to dominate also, so did Sega, where are they now?
If you ask me Xbox will do to Sony what Sony's Playstation and PS2 did to the other consoles.
Their days are numbered, Xbox is simply a better product, with better quality games.
Of course this is just my humble opinion but i do have some experience with all the consoles, I have a dreamcast, a ps1 and ps2 and an xbox and i don't even use my other consoles anymore at allI (Needless to say I did not bother with a GameCube). I just use the XBox as it is far superior.
They currently dominate but that is no indication for the future.
The nintendo console used to dominate also, so did Sega, where are they now?
What dictates whether or not a console will dominate is a balance between time of release and technology.
An earlier time of release allows a console to have the first bite of the pie. A later time of release and the console will have more technology to outperform the opposition.
I wasn't suprised to see the dreamcast almost kill Sega off. I predicted it just days after first playing a dreamcast. Sega always had a tendancy to rush into the market first, but be ill-equiped, and by that I mean, both hardware and game developer wise.
Nintendos problem has been it's targeted market, the Pokemon Generation, it creates games for no-one else but kids, but at least Nintendo has been shaggin EA to broaden its market.
To be honest, PS2 and X-Box were respectively released at just the right times respectively. But should even more developers jump on the X-Box bandwagon, Microsoft will take a very distingushed lead over Sony.
I agree that Sony's days are numbered in the console market, but so's everyone elses. The console market in my eyes, is kind of a one or two night generation stand.
Lets not forget the xbox version apparently has JoinInProcess for MP part, that alone gives BIS a medal in my books.

I don't begrudge BIS any means to generate more funds. They deserve their success. However I do have a longstanding personal distaste of console specific users (ie: the types that only discover pc ports when they arrive on the respective console, those only aware of things happening in the world of the console, particularly the overzealous ones). They're not typically sophisticated as pc gamers are. I mean what do they have that even remotely comes close to OFP? Ghost Recon? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rock.gif I recently played it after succumbing to boredom and curiousity... what a pile of garbage! The graphics aren't that much better. It's pretty much rainbow six in the woods. It has some weird RPG junk going on with the stats for the troops... not to mention that you -still- can't see your weapon. That was slightly acceptable for the first one and the expansion.
My personal prejudices towards console players and their lack of sophistication has me hoping they don't reap any benefits of the pc community, that's just me though. Not to mention there's just something very unsettling about letting ofp gather a fairly larger audience of said console people and have it result in ofp2's development sort of lean towards pandering to that new demographic. I mean these are the kind of people that when asked for features in a game like this would say "chrome effects" or being able to circlestrafe at fifty miles an hour and take a million bullets.
unsettling indeed. However this isn't saying anything really about those PC savvy users who buy ofp on the xbox for whatever goddamned reason. Masochism as far as using a controller with OFP? ...as some have noted, I have a playstation 2 myself. I sure as hell wouldn't want OFP on that, I wouldn't play it.
PC version = v1.0 OFP engine.
Xbox version = 1.5 OFP engine..
Go eat some dirt http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif, there is more then enough difference in the xbox version to make it well worth it for anyone over the PC version, at least tell BIS patch the PC version to match the xbox versions features like JIP etc.
I don't have the same high opinion as you all about Xbox,and there is no way that anything that hooks to my tv will look better than my pc.
I don't own a Xbox,I have the chance to buy one cheap from my nephew that doesn't use it, but then the game investment.I already have a PS2 and plenty of Ps1 and Ps2 games and it plays both of that.And I just saw a recent chart of this years sales and PS2 about doubled Xbox.I recall when Xbox first came out Microsoft claimed they were losing money?
I didn't think they would stay and I think it's the other way around...Ps3 is coming and Xbox is fading out.Especially if the Ps3 plays Ps2 and Ps1 games,that would be the reason they stay king of console and not that I praise consoles,but it keeps the kids off my computer and I like to play the variety of sports and racing games that consoles are good at playing because of the controllers and missing keyboard and such
I think its great that Bis gets into the console pie and some of those players may come to computer after they wake up!
It surely will help advertising,just unfortunate that its not coming on Ps2 but there is still the possibility that I would buy OFPX for my nephew,maybe he would use his Xbox again
But that is my opinion
PS3 will be 2005 at it's earliest http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif And don't underestimate the Xbox... and Xbox 2 offcourse ;)
Considering that what a pain in the ass was to port Max payne 1 to PS2 due to the memory limits one might imagine what it would be like with OFP. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

I dont know what is up with all of u guys. ps2 is archaic hardware. you speak this way maybe cuz u have never got the thrill of really test driving one. Xbox live is about the best mp implementation, and the game that support it are all high quality; ok the ps2 has an infinite number of titles of which only a few are high quality. Yes my pc looks better and all that, but the xbox is fun too, and look I dont despise ps2 as I had a ps1 the fact is that sony is still joyriding on the name they estabilished with ps1. ofp on xbox might be the next big thing!

I know this is a little far off, but Suma if you're ever going to port OFP2 to a console, please get it onto a Sony console as well. They cleary dominate the console market, and it is very unfortunate that the PS2 cannot handle OFP. Also it's likely that the PS3 won't require people to pay an extra $20 just to use its online capabilities, so that pretty much means a larger online community.
They currently dominate but that is no indication for the future.
The nintendo console used to dominate also, so did Sega, where are they now?
If you ask me Xbox will do to Sony what Sony's Playstation and PS2 did to the other consoles.
Their days are numbered, Xbox is simply a better product, with better quality games.
Of course this is just my humble opinion but i do have some experience with all the consoles, I have a dreamcast, a ps1 and ps2 and an xbox and i don't even use my other consoles anymore at allI (Needless to say I did not bother with a GameCube). I just use the XBox as it is far superior.
I agree.

Won't X-Box OFP have mid-game joining? That alone, would make OFP on X-Box better than on PC. I also hear often that voice comm is excellent on X-Box Live! and that it results in an immediately recognizable elevation in teamwork.
Xbox-2 will be show at the next big gaming conference. Its supposed to be out for xmas next year.
Xbox live voice just rocks, its clearer then the telephone in some games. In other games its not that great, but still as good as wilco or TS.
BiS has also stated that the xbox version will have the JIP.
Rainbow6 for the xbox is pretty sweet for graphics and sound (the grenades in 5.1 just shake the house), can't wait for OFP though.

First of all, there is no reason why a FPS belongs on a console unless it meets the following condition:
Software supports using keyboard for one player
Software supports using mouse for the same player
This is assuming the hardware meets these conditions.
I have never seen a game\console (maybe I don't play consoles too much) that supports using a keyboard and mouse for the same player.
Have you ever even tried to play a first person shooter with a paddle or joystick? It's impossible unless the game has coded features like autoaim. I remember Goldeneye 64 had this (but it was still a blast playing, yet hard)
Compare Halo (x-box version, x-box controller)
with Halo PC (with mouse and keyboard)
The results are no contest. You will do better with the PC version. I have played Halo on x-box and it litterally took me twelve minutes to kill my enemy.
Also, did you know they had to recode the AI for Halo PC because it was too easy with keyboard and mouse?
But, maybe OFP will appeal to some console kiddies and we can whip them into civil, intelligent, addon makers for the PC version? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
I even had some X-boxers tell me they could beat me with their x-box controller and my using keyboard & mouse with x-box tunnel...

Other games to have an eye on if you are starting your Xbox (Live) "career":

- PGR2 (Live) best online racing game!!
- NFL Fever 2004 (Live) IMHO, better than the other Football title
- Morrowind (non-Live) the best RPG I've ever played.
Games to definately look out for in the future (additionally to the ones SpecOp9 mentioned):
- Fable (non-Live) This awesome RPG title by the team around Peter Molyneux will rock more than any game before!!
- Hitman: Contracts (non-Live) You are a professional killer and have to fulfill contracts on ppl's heads...goodie-goodie
- Unreal 2 (Live) Well, I don't like it, but it is something for the Run&Kill-CS-gamers amongst us.
- RalliSport Challenge 2 (Live) There is yet to be a game inveted, who can beat those graphics and the gameplay of this monster
- Spawn Armageddon (non-Live) Brilliant porting of the Spawn comics 1-99 in a game...blood-galore!!
- EA Fight Night 2004 (Non-Live) Neat Boxing title...create your own Iron Mike or Real Deal and fight up the ladder in career mode.

This price cut might take a few weeks to filter down to all stores, but hopefully they adjust the price to take in the stronger than before exchange rate.

Yeah, weren't they a National Guard or Reserves unit? We were still using those Vietnam-era "steel pots" in 1986 in Basic Training, but they always give you old stuff in Basic. Still, National Guard and Reserves units often have old stuff, too.

I believe that is "shine" off of the top vent ridge of the plastic handguards, which should also be on the plastic handguards of the M4 in-game. You'll find that vent ridge on the nicer M4 addons that have been made.
I like the tall grass in some of the screens.
The buttpack could be retextured to the O.D. green nylon version, but it doesn't matter that much.
It's looking really good. I'm really looking forward to it.

It realy gores me when i see that medic armband on a frontline soldier. I know i'm being "uber" realistic but why not have the medic symbol on a bag, attached to the webbing like some user addons have. Anyway ALL soldiers are trained in basic first aid so why not have like the BAS rangers, where you can heal your squad mate and he you. And isn't it against the Geneva convention to attack medical units. Or have a "true" medical unit that is armed. At least they seem to have changed the "safe" animation.
Just my two cents guys; plus i've had a bad day at work....
I like the fly in the third picture...very nice, now thats the kind of reality i like.... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/notworthy.gif

So let me get this straight
-Operation Flashpoint takes 45 minutes in real-time to run across the entire map. And, not only that, there are 4 different maps of this scale to run across.
-Battlefield 2 has close to 15 or so maps that take less than 5 minutes to run across.
----------------------------------
-Operation Flashpoint has correct star consellations for navigating at night, The sea has fully simulated tides, Wave size and pattern change according to weather conditions at sea and the current season the map takes place on
-Battlefield 2 has moving grass and smoke effects
----------------------------------
-Operation Flashpoint has 15 single player missions, one 30 mission campaign with a deep storyline and cinematics, another 20 mission campaign, 60 different multiplayer maps, and a built-in mission editor where you can create your own single player or multiplayer maps - meaning the game has limitless content
-Battlefield 2 has around 15 or more multiplayer maps. No Single Player Campaign.
----------------------------------
-Operation Flashpoint has different weather effects, including rain, fog, wind, etc - and also has a real-time day-by-day Clock system that accurately simulates time passing by in the real world, with a moving sun and sunset effects, stars, moons, and more.
-Battlefield 2 has preset map properties.
------------------------------------------------------------------
With all that being said, it's a no brainer.
Hell, I'm not gonna even get into the squad support.

Well that's my point, OFP has no competition - at all, lol.
it's pretty funny come to think of it. Even after all these years, not one developer since BIS has focused on creating a good game, but focused more on what will get them more money in the end.

I want to ask something of how realistic is the game:
If i play a mission and time in the mision is 7:00 o´clock in the afternoon and play 2 hours even 9pm.,it makes night?
The time change?

If that is when night-time is on that island at that time of the year, yes.
(Each island has different latitude and longitude on the map, resulting in different sunrise/sunset times, which are further altered by the time of the year.)
If you watch the shadows cast by trees that are shined on by the sun, you can see how the sun is moving through the sky.

Lets not forget to add that BF2 isn't available on the Xbox!
BF2: Modern Combat is set to be released on October 25th, 2005.
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/243675.asp
This is why it is so important to let them know that if they choose BF2 over OFP:E they will be totally ripping themselves off.
BF2 will take the market share on the PS2, though, as OFP:E won't be competing with it, there.
And the sad thing is that EBGames.com is listing BF2: Modern Combat, but NOT OFP:E!

big waste of money,usually console games need to have some sort of single player campaign like thing,OFP has this,bf2 doesnt.
edit: notice how those idiots put an apache on the cover yet there you never see one ingame,I hate it when any game marketers show somethin thats not gonna be in the game.
