Cold War confirmed: Operation Flashpoint: Elite to blast onto Xbox this November

Command the squads, drive the vehicles, and fly the aircraft in this Xbox exclusive edition of the complete military simulator, complete with Xbox Live.

The hugely anticipated Xbox edition of Operation Flashpoint, the most realistic and complex military combat simulator, will launch in November as Operation Flashpoint: Elite complete with online play over Xbox Live, Codemasters confirmed today.

Developed by Bohemia Interactive Studio and specifically adapted for Xbox from the PC original, Operation Flashpoint: Elite lets gamers experience the award-winning title. On Xbox, the game retains all the depth and immense content of the original and takes you right into the heart of a gripping Cold War conflict between NATO coalition forces and a renegade Soviet Red army faction.

The game’s intense campaigns and solo missions deliver deeply believable military situations and gives you complete freedom to handle any flashpoint on your own initiative. Operation Flashpoint: Elite is powered by Bohemia’s technology which is also used in real-world training by various military organisations around the world including the US Army and US Marines.

Says Marek Spanel, Bohemia Interactive Studio’s Director: “This is not another run-and-gun shooter; Operation Flashpoint: Elite simulates modern warfare on a level never seen before on any console, providing a totally new playing experience. You’ll need brain power as much as quick reflexes; act before you die, think before you act, and find cover before you think.

“We have adapted and improved the game for Xbox while keeping the sheer scope and complexity of the gameplay. The visuals have been recreated specifically for the format with map sizes and draw distances ultimately more impressive than anything seen on a console.”

The scenario is modern warfare: It is 1985, in the midst of the Cold War, and Gorbachev has been elected to power bringing with him policies of glasnost and perestroika. However, resistance Soviet groups are opposed to the new wave and are refusing to serve the new regime in Moscow.

One group has taken control of an island community, and is using it as an armed stronghold for the old order. Operation Flashpoint: Elite opens with the player joining the neighbouring US force against the Soviets. Once past the mission briefing stage, it’s your decision how the overall mission or campaign is tackled.

For the first time in such a military simulator, players control and command soldiers and squads of all levels and over 40 authentic land, sea and air vehicles - both military and civilian. You’ll be controlling individual soldiers, commanding squads, driving tanks, troop carriers, piloting military helicopters to taking on the role of a sniper.

This variety also allows players to experience a huge mixture of strategic action gameplay and, thanks to the artificial intelligence applied to the game’s infantry they think, move and act as troops do in a conflict situation. The open environment of the game is massive, covering four 100+ Km2 battle zones, and you can go anywhere at anytime - you’re not limited to playing in mission-specific ‘walled’ areas - and anything can happen.

On Xbox Live, Operation Flashpoint: Elite really brings conflicts alive with players engaged online in over 50 multiplayer missions. Plus, a real beauty of Operation Flashpoint: Elite is its user friendly Mission Editor. Accessed from the main menu, you simply enter map view, select an area and build up a situation using any of the troops, weapons and mobile units from the game.

Tons of bonus content can be unlocked in the game, including an additional 15-mission campaign called ‘Resistance’, which casts the player into the role of local resistance leader Viktor Troska and the forms prequel to the storyline of the main Cold War Crisis campaign. Atmospheric and immersive, Operation Flashpoint: Elite works on so many levels thanks to its open, expansive environments and its run-the-mission-the-way-you-want gameplay.

Prepare to experience war like never before on Xbox, when Operation Flashpoint: Elite is published in November by Codemasters. Join the Cold War online for more from the game’s website at www.codemasters.com/flashpointxbox (http://www.codemasters.com/flashpointxbox)

I think they can't break their old contract?

I ain't suprised that CM is the publisher,
It has had the name Operation Flashpoint: CWC until now and CM got the rights on the name "Operation Flashpoint".
If CM weren't the publisher they would have change the name by now, it's simple as that.

So it's called OFP: Elite now, why the sudden change of name?

Operation Flashpoint debutará para Xbox en noviembre
El juego para Xbox se llamará Operation Flashpoint: Elite y soportará partidas online en Xbox Live.

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (Xbox)Xbox recibirá finalmente en noviembre de este ańo su dosis de Operation Flashpoint. La popular saga de acción táctica militar desarrollada por Bohemia Interactive Studio debutará en la consola de Microsoft con Operation Flashpoint: Elite, una versión exclusiva que incluirá soporte para partidas online en Xbox Live y que saldrá a la venta en noviembre, tal y como hoy mismo ha confirmado Codemasters.

El director de BIS, Marek Spanel, ha declarado: "Este no es un juego de acción de correr y disparar; Operation Flashpoint: Elite simula la guerra moderna en un nivel nunca antes visto en consolas, ofreciendo una experiencia de juego totalmente nueva. Necesitaréis cerebro además de reflejos: actuad antes de morir, pensad antes de actuar y cubríos antes de pensar."

Spanel ha terminado así: "Hemos adaptado y mejorado el jugeo para Xbox manteniendo la amplitud y la complejidad de la jugabilidad. Los gráficos se han recreado para esta versión con tamańos de mapas y distancias de visibilidad mayores que cualquier otras cosa que se haya visto en una consola."

El juego nos transportará a 1985, en plena Guerra Fría. Varios grupos del ejército soviético se resisten a las nuevas políticas de Gorbachov y, en concreto, uno de estos grupos se hace fuerte en una isla. El jugador participará en la ofensiva de la OTAN para restablecer la normalidad y afrontará todo tipo de misiones y de tareas, desde controlar a un único soldado hasta dirigir escuadrones, conducir tanques o pilotar un helicóptero.

La inteligencia artificial no nos pondrá las cosas demasiado fáciles, y más si tenemos en cuenta que los combates se disputarán en cuatro zonas de más de 100 km cuadrados cada una. Las más de cincuenta misiones multijugador y el editor de mapas completan las características de este ambicioso título.

Mientras que no nos proponíamos hablar más del juego,he aquí como por arte de magia nuevas imágenes de Operación Flashpoint: Élite, la adaptación en exclusividad sobre Xbox (que cambia de nombre al paso) famoso del juego PC que revolucionó su pequeńo mundo a su tiempo.

Esta molienda conforta del juego de acción/estrategia implicará una compatibilidad Live para el juego en línea así como de las nuevas misiones solo. La nueva fecha de salida (y ya van 103 veces) se programa para el mes de noviembre de 2005.

OP FLASH ELITE STORMS THE BEACH IN NOVEMBER

Long awaited Xbox military shooter finally receives its orders to 'Go! Go! Go!'

Way back in the mists of PC gaming history, well actually about four years ago in 2001, Bohemia Interactive's Operation Flashpoint stormed onto the PC military shooter scene to wide acclaim.

Okay it's graphics were a bit crap by today's standards, but it bought on board a bundle of high level military innovations including squad-level command, ferocious firefights, , the ability to hop into all manner of ground and air vehicles and a hugely authentic feel for life in the Cold War trenches.

Well after years of stalled campaigning, the Xbox version of the game is now set to erupt and has been confirmed for a November release this very year. Fresh screens have just been deployed to give you a taste of the military delights in store.

The year is 1985 and when anti-Perestroika Soviet rebels take over an entire island during the last knockings of the Cold War era, it's up to you to take overall strategic and tactical command of the US forces sent to deal with them.

Featuring a 100-square kilometre battleground, free-form gameplay, over 40 driveable craft and vehicles, two full single-player campaigns and fifteen dedicated 'going solo' missions, a mission editor and designer and over 50 multiplayer scenarios for Xbox Live, this is just about as authentic as Cold War sims get. All for a very decent Ł19.99 too.

Marek Spanel, Bohemia Interactive Studio's Director had this to say on the game: "This is not another run-and-gun shooter; Operation Flashpoint: Elite simulates modern warfare on a level never seen before on any console, providing a totally new playing experience. You'll need brain power as much as quick reflexes; act before you die, think before you act, and find cover before you think.

"We have adapted and improved the game for Xbox while keeping the sheer scope and complexity of the gameplay. The visuals have been recreated specifically for the format with map sizes and draw distances ultimately more impressive than anything seen on a console."

We're sold, and counting the days until Op Flash: Elite makes its debut.

Ok just read the CodeM newsletter i recieved in my email and was a bit disappointed AGAIN as to how codemasters is advertising/marketing their product.

A excerpt from the letter:

Quote[/b] ]Now we’ve got the new guys up to speed - what does Operation Flashpoint: Elite offer the seasoned Flashpoint veteran? Well people familiar with the PC version will feel right at home; the old neighbourhoods are all there, though the greenery is more lush and the grass thicker. But other than the chance to revisit old battlefields, you might think there’s not much for the gamer who knows Flashpoint like the back of his hand., but you’d be wrong.


Of all the things they could have told to interest people is that the grass is greener and lusher on that side of the game :-? , sheesh what about the new graphics and shader tech used , new and improved shadow/model/textures.

Oh and for gods sake lose that OLD Hind and soldiers with BMP pic from the OFP:CWC 1.20 days already :roll: . Use some new pics for the banner.

Still the game would rock definitely , X-Box owners should get it no matter what , though the marketing imo is not up to par once again.

One thing that lets this release down a bit is the simple fact the Xbox 360 is released around this time so ther'll be thousands of xboxs being thrown in the bin. And the game could of been made to look even better with the 360 capabilities. Also there is no guarentee that all titles for the xbox will work on the 360. I'm getting the 360 and will probably take the chance and buy this but as i've already said they should of converted it to the 360 where people will be crying out for differant games...

Plus we get the cool grenade launcher aiming thingy. Kind of looks like that the Battlefield 1985 mission on Everon but on Nogova. I think its the part of Nogova in the desert in the little pass between the mountains near the airport. Alright now I know its a new Mission (http://www.bistudio.com/pics/games/xscreennew13_hi.jpg).


Defenses in Ambush (http://www.bistudio.com/pics/games/xscreennew11_hi.jpg) Originally thought that this was a new map but then realized that it is Ambush after the tanks are defeated (If you ever didn&#39;t run away). Either way there is a bunker right there.

[Phleep]

For the most part they would just need a visibility tweaked version for a quick release on the 360. Of course then all the combat would take place far too far away to see anything more than a dot of phosphorescence (sp?) on the tv screen.

I am sure there is something they could do to bump up some features for a new edition. Maybe more object shadows, 3d grass rendered further away, more ECPesque special effects, etc.

At least they could just ask Kegetys politely and hope for the best.

Anyway, that looks damn good. Great price too. Pity I don&#39;t have an XBox.

Our intention is not to limit it to just one region (who likes this idea anyway as consumer?). Wish us luck.

New preview, but it,s in dutch...
Mayby someone else an translate it because i don,t have time for it right now.

If not ill shortly tell what,s it the preview:
a couple of dutch and french guys where in Londen to test the mulitiplayer of OPF: Elite, they mostley complained about  (they think) "the bad graphix"
But thay admidded that it,s more about the gameplay and that one was anything else you,ve ever seen on a console (before 360 comes out ofcourse)

The thing i liked the most in the preview:
One gamemode was about one sniper starting at night with night vision goggels on the top of a mountain, a few other soldiers  starded down at the mountain without NVG and the mission for them was to find and kill the sniper, and for the sniper to elimenate the soldiers...
Sounds very cool.

Maybe an other dutch member here can translate the rest...

"And with just a little extra polish, it could very well be a strong contender in the Xbox&#39;s crowded military combat genre."

OFP:E WILL BE a strong contender in the Xbox&#39;s crowded military combat genre, even WITHOUT a little extra polish.

Quote[/b] ]This helped me out quite a bit during my time with the preview, as my eagle-eyed squad was able to pick out and pick off plenty of enemies long before I ever even knew they were there.

I had to rely heavily on the rest of my squad, as my usual "run-and-gun" tactics were all but useless here.

That guy should be shot if he ever tries to write a pre-/review of a military tactical simulation ever again.

The squad is not eagle-eyed, that guy is just used to spotting uber-scripted enemies in a 15 feet hallway. I can spot enemies long before my squad can, no matter what fairly unrestricted game it is.

I actually think the guy has an eye-sight problem...

Quote[/b] ]This helped me out quite a bit during my time with the preview, as my eagle-eyed squad was able to pick out and pick off plenty of enemies long before I ever even knew they were there.

I had to rely heavily on the rest of my squad, as my usual "run-and-gun" tactics were all but useless here.

That guy should be shot if he ever tries to write a pre-/review of a military tactical simulation ever again.

The squad is not eagle-eyed, that guy is just used to spotting uber-scripted enemies in a 15 feet hallway. I can spot enemies long before my squad can, no matter what fairly unrestricted game it is.

I actually think the guy has an eye-sight problem...


Quote[/b] ]It would have been nice for Bohemia Interactive to take the time to update the game&#39;s graphics a bit instead of simply rehashing the same visuals that were showing on the PC back when the Xbox was still in its infancy.

It may not be such a big step ahead as Game 2, but it does look fairly better then CWC.

First off the BMP is a BMP ambulance. So there is no real threat there. I didn&#39;t like the cat tail plants sitting next to the building seeing how they tend to grow near water. Kind of throws off realism for me but its not that big of an issue. Only thing I didn&#39;t like is the guy who he shoots really close up, the cross hairs aren&#39;t even on him.

I went round a few of the games shops today and all the staff were saying this game is selling out. Now thats a good sign or maybe they just didn&#39;t get a large stock in. Only thing i noticed however is the game wasn&#39;t on any top 20 list.

If a store only orders one copy and sells it, they are still "sold out". (don&#39;t read much into such things)

At least people get to play both and find out if they are mature or not.

Hmm,good point you have there Llauma.

Since this seems to be the most relevant topic for it on the first page I will post it here.

Codemasters has a few pics that I haven&#39;t seen before or atleast haven&#39;t been highly publicized here.

More Operation Flashpoint: Elite reviews - 11.11.2005

Yet more reviews, these ones are from print magazines so might have been missed before.

GamePro (Australia) - 9.5/10 - Rewarding gameplay. Dynamic, vast battlefield. Intense.
Pelite (Finland) - 87% - The combat is fabulously realistic
XBM (UK) - 1/10 - Better than getting shot in real life.

What the heck?? 1/10? This is just an errata, right?

Must be the heavy graphic whore types,just the ones that reveiwed it,not all the UK folk.

If they can&#39;t see the beauty in OFP then they have a few screws loose,I mean if anything a 5/10 but 1/10,somethins wrong there.

[Ian Malcolm]

Please, please&#33; Can somebody scan that XBM review marvel? I wanna see it with my own eyes http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

[harley 3 1185]

Has to either be a major typo; Of course they meant 10/10.

Or, they&#39;re insinuating that playing OFP:E is a better way to die than getting shot and killed by someone.

I hope it&#39;s the former http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif.

[Coffin Joe]

I have no idea why people complaine about the graphics of this game. Don&#39;t look bad at all to me, especially for what its doing. Did they like the game in that video review? I no speak de éspanole. (I can&#39;t spell eather http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif )

[xnodunitx]

Ah,thats because alot of the gamers like to try to compare bf2 and OFP:E,thinking they are the same thing when infact they are very different,with a rather long list,for one OFP is modifyable without having to make an entirely large mod and you can play with many more units,vehicles,area and user made addons without many issues..oh yeah,and OFP/OFP:E actually have CAMPAIGNS,that bf2 doesn&#39;t,so when people want to compare bf2 to OFP and say that bf2 is better I say to them

http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rofl.gif Good one..I haven&#39;t laughed that hard at a joke in a long time
