Operation flashpoint 2

[PitViper]

I was hoping either the current force or WW2

I hope BIS doesn't limit us to Vietnam.

Guess some people don't like the Nam era because of the lack of scoped assault rifles like the G36 or Augs.

Better get used to iron sights before OFP2 comes out!

I got it! I think I might have an idea. Think, a real location, the bottle on the soldier's head and the fact that the last game was based when the cold war was at high tensions. The Cuban Missile Crisis. Maybe JFK decides to do airstrikes on Cuba and a Russian worker is killed which causes the Soviets to Build up Cuba to invade the surrounding areas.

Ive noticed alot of people are saying i dont want this or that but as always we will also have the mod to rely on also. So flashpoint 2 can and will have several different era's to mess around with. So lets all just sit back and get ready for ofp2's new game engine and great new gfx that my radeon 9700 pro is crying out for

I guess you could still do tank battles in Vietnam, a few did happen. But I imagine that the American tanks were a lot stronger than the ones the North Vietnamese had.

Honestly I don't really know, but Vietnam seems like a rather bland setting for OFP2, and I definitely don't really want to go back in time with the series because I prefer more modern combat. Hopefully they just chose that picture and blurred a ton of it out because it has a look to it they want. I wonder if they blurred it to hide the fact that OFP2 is in Vietnam or to disassociate the look on the man's face from the setting?

I'll still pick it up most likely because I enjoy the multiplayer side of the game. Hopefully old mods will still work so I don't have to play Vietnam if I choose not too.

Judging by the reaction by alot of the posts here, I would say we are pretty much divided on the issue of OFP2 being set in Vietnam or not.
I am disapointed, because like most people I was expecting something completly new, not something we have had in a mod already. Maybe this idea was in the pipeline, well before the SEB NAM team produced their excellent mod. Right now all im looking forward to, is the new features, gameplay and effects, a good single player campaign will be a bonus....
I also wonder if BIS carried out any 'market research' , did they know what the loyal following they have here on this forum wanted or expected? Maybe they should of presented some ideas and carried out a poll? Its not like they dont get any feed back here is it?
I guess we dont know enough about this new project yet to criticise it fairly, but in any case its expected release date is in 2004, and alot can happen between now and then...

I'd say if you were betting the odds in Vegas on what OFP2 would be, then NAM would be where I'd put my money.

Remember the Operation Vietnam site? Seen the screenshots from IL? The vegatation from what I saw in IL screenshots looked really good, and would be perfect for a Nam era setting. Then think about all the work that was put into Operation Vietnam long before the site went offline. There were some really nice screenshots, both renders and Bulldozer shots.

I for one am pretty happy that this is where it may be headed. Guess I'm one of the few. I would rather like it if it focused on areas that aren't covered much in games already like say the Aussie's role, or the Koreans. Something unexpected.

The SEB pack was made while Operation Vietnam was still public news, and was just something to hold folks over until that "mod" was done.... not take the place of it. There is soooo much that can be done with a Vietnam era setting.

I give my vote to Vietnam too and after that a Desert Storm after that a WWII I think if BIS work on that line it would be great
And hope they make it so you can use multiple guns on vehicles and that you can launch rockets from wheeled vehicles + that you can move on big ships and that you have moving machineguns on planes + 2 pilots in choppers
Oh and swimming must be possible and some animals in Vietnam like Tiger's, Lizzards, Crocodilles and snakes that would be awesome
I wonder if they plan to make tunnels for VC like in vietnam in mountens
