You'll most likely see pictures/videos of OFP2 at gamespot/IGN.

Look, E3 is an event strictly for the media and industry people. But every major newspaper and website with some kind of interest in computer and video games will be there and report to the readers. The whole point is to market games.

Btw, fun to see that ofp2 is the first game in the list ^^

I am sorry that I have to be the one to pop the bubble that we were fed, but ofp 2 is NOT going to be at e 3.


Quote[/b] ]
IGN have got it wrong peeps. I don't knwo where they got there info from this time, but they don't seem to have all the right games on their list...hmmm

second post from the top (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=426016#post426016)

[MrZig]

Who says OFP2 will not be there? They said the list is not correct, not that OFP2 aint there.

[ale2999]

because the thread where Mike replied was called Ofp 2 will be at e3, and he would have not bothered to post in there that the list was wrong (unless he was trying to raise a cloud of smoke).

Beside 2 posts later he said that he will be at e3 playtesting ofp xbox on system link..... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif

I really hope Flashpoint 2 will be displayed at E3...it would be a dissapointment if it's not...but I hope IGN was right.

(and hopefully it's not the same video from last E3)

[SpeedyDonkey]

Seriously, i don't give a rats ass about the xbox.

[Impavido]

If there is no E3 demonstration I would hope that BIS could make amends by updating the official site.

[Postduifje]

Hmm, yeah, the thread on the Codemasters Forum (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=426016#post426016) now clearly tells OFP2 will not be there. That's said, but it doesn't take away the fact that E3 is still a great oppertunity to release any news of OFP does it? They just won't have a stand for it...

Well, according to the BIS and Codemaster sites, OFP2 is scheduled for Winter '04, so it wouldn't make sense to not show it.

[Hockey112]

Well, to all you friggin bollocks! I didn't mean that haha, got you.. ON the VTV forum for OFP2 Maruk said this: "The setting and theme for the game will be revealed in mid May 2003(Hmm... maybe he meant 2004, well i dunno 'cos they haven't revealed anything much yet.), expected time of completion is late 2004."

Well, if they meant Mid-may 2004 then that's not far away though. But if they don't give us anything until the realese I will go crazy in the coconut.

And it is kinda wierd if they don't show up at E3..
Atleast I would get disappointed! 'cos I've got so much half-term tests mid-May so I want something to get the mood going.

Anyways, It would've been hilarious if they didn't say anything till the date they realese..
Well maybe all of us would get heart attacks and die, so they don't make any money on the game.

Well, goodbye all bollocks! :P Nope just kidding.

I think that Codemasters were asked not to showcase OFP2 because it would just embarrass the other publishers&#39; new products, causing a media frenzy that would overshadow the rest of E3.

BIS going bankrupt, is THAT what you want? These people need to make money too, and it has been quite a while since they released a new title. They should focus all their attention on the XBox version. I think they would also have preferred to have the XBox version in the stores by now, and be able to get some serious work done on OFP2, but game development is a bitch.

Give them a break. In the end, work done on the XBox version will also benefit the PC users. And maybe, just maybe, they still have a very nice card up their sleeve for E3. Who knows?

I think it won&#39;t be shown because it&#39;s still early in development. I read a while ago that it won&#39;t be here until late 2004 and possibly 2005. I think it&#39;s better to with hold info until closer to the release date. I hate when awesome screens for a game come out. Only to find that game to be 1-2 years away. I&#39;d like to see some new updates about OFP2 but I can understand them not being at this E3. It would also make for a good marketing strategy. Again, most attention will be on HL2 and Doom 3. OFP will just be buried underneath all of the fake promise the devs of those two games say again this year

Well the point is, if it is too early in development to show anything on E3 it means that no way it can possibly be ready by mid 2005 let alone end of 2004. So hopefully they will show us something, and just don&#39;t want to say that until E3.....

Well it was a poor choice of words. It might not be that early in development but that the devs feel like it&#39;s too early to show anything.

Since OFP Xbox is going to sorta be OFP 1.5, I doubt that they have made major work towards OFP2 alone, since their mostly just upgrading the engine and graphics right now... I think...

[quakergamer]

Well OFP: X-box (v1.5 of OFP engine) already has real-time shadows and pixels shaders, two new things that are really necessary for OFP2. I wanna see how those look, etc...

It looks as if they only presented OFP for xBox. F****** S***. So perhaps we will see first screens on E3 in 2008 and will get the final game in 20[place here a number between 10 and 99].

[Jtec]

Im well gutted there again was no news on Ofp2 to wet my appatite. I remember last years E3 being dead eager to see some news on Ofp2 and nothing comes along. I have noticed a few games that are being shown tho and ive gotta say that battlefield 2 looks pretty nice with alot of the things we have been wanting for flashers 2 appearing on it and there is also talk that it will support up to 100 people which sounds promising. So i guess we have other games we can play until/if flashpoint 2 is released. Be nice if they could show a screen once a month or something like that to keep the community going.

and shit, most people i know in real life never even heard of OFP... they are loosing presious time... i looked at OFP GOTYE, and thought, i would never buy this game today, im lucky i bought it back when i did, because the box and pictures of smily "Caslousky" was laughable, i mean the OFP buzz is wearing off if it ever was here (in Canada anyways) and they show no sign of bringing us #2

Hmm, what i don&#39;t really get is this: there has never been an official announcement about ofp2 being at e3. There only was one from ign (or something) which was countered at once in the codemasters forum. So why did people even think that ofp2 would be on e3?

It&#39;s the same with the release date. Look at the age of the "ofp2 not in 2004" thread... but still people are coming here and arguing like "i read on someones homepage ofp2 is out, where can i get it?".

I get the impression people only read and hear what they want to and then come here to complain that reality differs from their little fairytale world.

But i have to agree that the marketing for ofp1 was really bad and that it seems that the marketing for ofp2 will be as bad or even worse. And that is not good. I don&#39;t remember when i first heard about far cry, stalker, soeldner or doom3, must be years back. So far no one i know who is not already part of the small ofp community has heard anything about ofp2 (most haven&#39;t heard about ofp1 either).

yes, that&#39;s true. if my friend would not have shown me flashpoint 1 years ago i would not be here now... i never heard about it before.

i read once of OPF1 but,i didnt heard nothing after that.I foud demo when it was 6 moths old.

There was no big BUMM, like now.

Im 100% shure if they would shown more pictures of OPF1 they would sold much more copies.because when i tried demo i buyed all OPF, OPF Red hammer and Resistance originals, because of my respect to developers, and i will buy OPF2 allso money is not the problem.
And what i recive from them??
Not an sigle picture from their new work.Its not fair from them to us.
Bis is developing OPF2 for 1 year or more and nothing??May i ask why?



I have my own company and i know if there is no commercial there is no bucks&#33;
So my opinion is codemasters dont alow them to show us pictures or much more.If u look closer to simlar other games there is a lot of stelling from OPF.

Marek and others from BIS
, thats only my opinion&#33;

[Hotkey]

The sad thing isn&#39;t that it&#39;s not shown on E3, the that thing is the conclusion about this fact:
Like They said they won&#39;t show it on E3 cause the developement is not in a state that they could show something.
So with this info i don&#39;t believe ina release date arround early 2005.
Even Battlefield 2 (which should be ready early 2005) has lot of screens and movies on the E3.

The only info i want to have (from an BI official) is: Are they still working on OFP2 and if yes: whats the new planned release date.

*still crossing fingers*

Im not too bothered with when it is released (i know how it is to set a date for release) but would be nice for a little info. You guys were right on the marketing on flashers as i think that stupid game Popstars or whatever it was got more advertising then Flashpoint ever did and still flashpoint sold over a million copies, which could have doubled if they had better advertisments. Maybe as the other guys have said that it is so early in development that nothing is of decent quality to show, but i dont think this is the case http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif As im sure the talented guys could knock a few models up within a week or 2 being full time 3d artists. If they ever do need any help with British addons then we would love to help them free of charge could push the release date foward a bit http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

they are going to use OFP1 - xbox to reopen the market to OFP,

then they will release OFP2,

it just dawned on me... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wow_o.gif

[cassandra]

But i have to agree that the marketing for ofp1 was really bad and that it seems that the marketing for ofp2 will be as bad or even worse. And that is not good. I don&#39;t remember when i first heard about far cry, stalker, soeldner or doom3, must be years back. So far no one i know who is not already part of the small ofp community has heard anything about ofp2 (most haven&#39;t heard about ofp1 either). It&#39;s sad to see a great game not getting it&#39;s fair share of fame because of bad marketing http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif
marketing for ofp was all over buses and shop windows back in 2001 or 2 when it came about.. I didn&#39;t actually think anything of it but I do clearly recall seeing it enough to find it annoying.. advertising has an anti effect on me though I evantually came across the game by other means.. as for farcry and soldner and whatever else, I generally hear about those from other ofp gamers where I chat who seem to me to be seeking alternatives to their favorite game that in my eyes just don&#39;t, wont and never could suffice.. but I have not seen any advertising for those games whatsoever
I&#39;m curious to see what comes about with ofp2 and I had hoped to hear something about it with this e3 gathering - most importantly to me is the inclusion of female soldiers as I&#39;m really really sick of having to role play as a guy in a battle scenario

I desperately tried to get through to maruk regarding this lately but his lips are completely sealed and I&#39;m not sure whether to find this disturbing or promising though I get the impression things are happening.. I can&#39;t lie to say the lack of sorely missed content wont be one of the most dissapointing waits of my gaming life, reinforced by the fact that I pretty much hate all other games or find my attention span not large enough for them.. and unfortunately being a huge minority (oxymoron not intended) this matters to me as I could imagine most of you guys clearly don&#39;t care.. I will probably stop playing games altogether if bis dissapoints until a day where the female community isn&#39;t so neglected with cool games (after amiga, cool games to date = 1)

[Franz_Schall [SWAF]]

It is hard to acknowledge but maybe it was a fault to announce OFP2 too early and we can see the consequences now.
The community is eager to see actual game footage, absorbs every new piece of information like a sponge and is frustrated if there actually are none of these.

I understand that it takes time to develop such a great game but as a part of the community I would want to be treated fair information-wise.

If there is no statement or developement update at all, even when there is the biggest game related expo going on (the game was already announced last year for the end of 2004&#33;), I would miss the lack of communication between the developer and its customers when there is not a single piece of information at all.
If there are problems with the time schedule, please tell us and we won&#39;t mind - delay is part of the game industry and very common nowadays.
But the complete lack of news regarding our much anticipated sequel is simply frustrating even though I regard myself as patient enough to wait for its release.

In addition, OFP1 is still unique in the game industry and I haven&#39;t found another game yet which has such a deep atmosphere, or varieties of gameplay to replace it fully. Otherwise, from the technological point of view, I begin to miss certain things which are standard in today&#39;s games.
The lack of suitable alternatives can be seen as strongest advantage over its competitors. ;)

[Nyles]

Heh, perhaps all this stuff about classified information, which for sure has come with the creation of VBS and the connections to real military branches, has made BIS forget (at least a bit) about how do deal with content they want to sell to the broader public. Maybe I just don&#39;t see the whole full story - the larger picture or marketing strategy behind all this, but from a customer&#39;s point of view, the lack of information looks like a gigantic, please forgive the term, PR catastrophy. It is just frustrating and slowly reaches a level where I assume some people might actually consider to break away from Flashpoint and search for alternatives, because of all the uncertainty of what to expect. Sorry&#33;

[FW200]

I agree.. I&#39;m getting quite annoyed to be honest about the lack of information... all that is available now are rumours.
Even if this lack of OFP2 information is to keep the attention to the Xbox version (which looks good btw) then it&#39;s still annoying. Hell , I would even like a confirmation that the project is still underway (although I&#39;m pretty sure it is).

Anyway.. I hope this blackout of information is soon lifted http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif

Well... after I promised Claire (from Codemasters) a kiss or a hug if she got hold of Marek, she has apparently delivered:


Quote[/b] ]You’ll be happy to know that I collared the dev team from Dragon Empires to answer a few questions, David Doak from Free Radical (Second Sight), Nikolay from 1C (working on Soldiers and Wartime) and…..Marek from Bohemia (Operation Flashpoint to those of you not in the know) – and yes I asked the questions and yes you’ll have to wait for your respective CLOs to post them up on the various websites – having done all the interviews I’m afraid I don’t have time to transcribe them all and post them up – but they will be coming soon the boys assure me.

So... maybe there&#39;s some info on OFP 2. At this point, any info will do for me... just a statement that they&#39;re still working on it...

Hmmm... can anybody loan me money for my trip to the UK to kiss Claire? (or come pick me up? I live in Norway...)  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge_o.gif  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/blues.gif

Ah that would be good old codemasters making sure the game that they publish are advertised to death again http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

It looks like we will just have to stop moaning about getting info on the game and just play something slightly less interesting till they do actually tell or show us some info on a game that will hopefully out-do the original.

As for having a female model to play around with Casandra im sure i have seen a few flying around in This website (http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?newlang=eng) but if not why dont you go to www.ofpec.com and ask for a female soldier to be made http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif I think the main reason why they havent got any, is due to it being realistic and as we all know they dont have women on the frontline. Also im pretty sure that if some were made they would be in some skimpy uniform with their boobs about 10 times the size of Jordans http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

well, if you check out opflashpoint.org they still seem to be hosting my first addon which was the first "decent" female soldier as it was given title .. I even put this idea to BAS when I was with them and it was thrown in my face due to realism, which ... absolutely sucks, to say the least
http://home.clara.net/boanerges/defem.jpg
http://home.clara.net/boanerges/defem1.jpg
I had TJ offer to help me once though through ofp limitations it was simply going to be impossible to create a female class that used a proper voice set.. so I gave up on this

if bis don&#39;t actually make any soldiers it would be a shame, I am asking for a lack of limitation - and just to note, women are on the frontline in just about every major armed forces (just not in delta or rangers as above(which absolutely sucks http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge_o.gif )) - and I&#39;m sure if all armed forces were mostly female and the game only catered for females then there&#39;d be similar requests from the devs in a reversal situation of guys asking for male soldiers

bottom line is it&#39;s still a game

and yes, those silicone excuses for an addon are not what I have in mind.. ofp.info seems to collect the trash - example (http://ofp.gamezone.cz/news/pics2/chido1.jpg)

let&#39;s hope that you only have to be disappointed by cm and bis couldn&#39;t change it. cm is the publisher and therefore responsible for marketing and promotion... it looks as cm doesn&#39;t like ofp much. bad guys. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

[Jtec]

Im guessing that there may be loads of reasons why CM are not hyping OFP2 up at this very moment. They are publishing quite a few games and maybe they dont want to over hype one game so much that the others they are publishing dont get no attention at all. Maybe when they have released a few of their big title games then they will set about hyping up us all for OFP2. I guess we will have to wait until a few of the games that codemasters are publishing at this very moment get released and then we will hopefully get some small piece of information that will make us all a bit more happier.

Summer is generally a slow season as far as games go... I believe there is a European equivalent of E3 around September/October, maybe then, bu tthen also the Christmas releases are already taking over... Oh well... it&#39;s not easy being a Gamer in Waiting.
Fortunately i&#39;m still having a lot of fun with OFP as it is now... Then i&#39;ll have R:TW to keep me entertained until OFP 2 finnally shows up...
