Looks like BIS and Codemasters will not creat a Single Team, Hope im Wrong!

I know people dont know the truth yet, and i wounder if we will know it someday.. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rock.gif
I saw some people posting this in other thread and i tought of creating a room for it. Maybe BIS/CM think again and make to a sence.. (who knows)


<span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>The Question is:</span>

Wich one (BIS or Codemasters) OFP Community VOTE for OFP2* if each creats 1 version of it?</span>


<span style='font-size:7.001pt;line-height:100%'>(*) Due to ongoing negotiations with Codemaster (who own the right to the Operation Flashpoint name) OFP2 in this article may or may not be released under the name Operation Flashpoint 2.</span>

BIS all the way, after playing Red Hammer I&#39;d never buy a game codemasters made  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

Maybe you should make this a poll, so we can see some statistics http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rock.gif

In the end, Codemasters were jus the guys that gave the game to us, while Bohemia were the guys that made it...

if people know the story, they&#39;ll choose for Bis most likely... but let&#39;s not forget that the people who are looking for a "war simulator" will choose for the best war simulator. so they&#39;ll look at Bis&#39;s product either way.

Gandalf hit the bullseye.
You should worry about the developer rather than publisher.

Obviously BIS, but if CM comes up with a decent game on their own i see no reason for people not to buy it, unfortunetly for them thats very unlikely, especialy considering how bad RH turned out, yuck http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif .
CM has my deep doubts, ARAS is a definite buy and a must have, and so is obviously "game 2" http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif .
We dont know why BIS and CM broke up so im not taking any sides, im neutral to thinks that are none of my business and that im not aware/informed about..

Edit your post and add a POLL with these conditions:

- Will buy BIS&#39;s game
- Will buy CM&#39;s game
- Will buy both (i&#39;m a game freak http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge_o.gif )


For me its only BIS because first i think BIS&#39;s game will be better no matter what CM cant make a game which will please us , developers demands on games often start from profit and how many they can sell so they&#39;ll make it a dumbed down game which appeals to BF2 type folks. Second i only have time/money for one game cant bother following two games and their respective addons/communitys etc etc.

i&#39;d laugh if this turned out to be a marketing ploy by bis and cm (and they are sitting in their offices laughing at all the gossip and free hype they&#39;ve caused) reading to themselves the slogan "and so it begins" :P

i cant imagine cm wanting to release ofp2 not by bis...

if cm are just the money grabbing lowlife of a company everyone sees them as being even if cm and bis are at odds with each other,and if ofp2 by bis turns out to be half of wots said it going to be like/do
and didn&#39;t have a publisher cm would surely be the first to jump up and say "WE&#39;LL publish it " with big dollar/pound signs in their eyes its buiness after all and bis made them a shitload of cash b4 so why wouldn&#39;t they want them to do it again

im probably with cm on the xbox side of things as to them it probably made no sense to release a game for xbox that is pretty much past its sell buy date i just dont think it would sell much being old and bis dragging there heels getting the thing ready the longer they wait the less it will sell
hands up everyone who said / thought ofp on x box would be complete shite cos i know i did and it would be shit even if you had a keyboard and mouse for your x box simply because you wont be able to see shit on a television screen

i remember in the 80&#39;s codemasters where the good guys releasing good games (remember the dizzy series anyone) at less than a 3rd of the price of the bigger companies usually shit games.

remeber the bigger a company becomes the more it loses where it was at take VANS shoes for example they used to be hand made and lasted for agesi could ruin any pair of shoes in 1 week
of sk8tin but not a pair of vans they were a small company who made sk8teboard and bmx shoes then these sport got really big and so did the fashion so vans then has to keep up with the demand and quality goes right out the window and now there made in factories in taiwan...

i&#39;ll be lookingforward to bis&#39;s game tho cos THEY make ofp
if all this split stuff is true and codemaster make a decent looking game along the ofp lines i&#39;ll try than aswell. but i&#39;ll pay money for bis game and download the codmasters one http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge_o.gif http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

Gossip?&#33;

At the cost of their own reputation being thrown down and ravaged? Some ploy , they must be realllll desperate for some cheap publicity http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

bad publicity is always the best kind to get ??

it get the most attention

it the best free advertising you can get

think how many records get to the top of the charts after they get
bad publicity or get banned from radio for having some rude lyrics

I have thought about that but its unlikely, BIS are looking for a new publisher...

Codemasters presents... Operation Flashpoint 2: Lukin&#39;s revenge&#33;&#33;
- Take the rifle of ex spetznas Dimitri Lukin.
- Play has russia&#39;s greatest hero, capable of elimitating entire bases, operating all types of vehicals of the red army and destroying a full army on his own.
- Betray your nation and kill your comrades.
- Kill the americans and the resistants too.
- Escort General Guba&#39;s prostitutes to his mantion..

I really dont know where CM will come up with the engine, team and means to make a good sequel http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rock.gif .
