Quite a bit of info has been released about Operation Flashpoint this evening to look at. A 3D FPS war simulation style game. There are screenshots etc all over the place. You can get them from Daily Radar UK , Games Domain (Thanks Blues) , GameSpot UK , CVGames , SpelletjesGarnaal (Thanks SpecForce). Included is the minithumbnail rampage!

more screenshots here

Tipped as the next generation 3D combat action game of 2001, if not the PC game of the year, Operation Flashpoint will roll in for Q2 like a M1Abrams tank, crushing genre predecessors in its tracks. The game is now confirmed to come complete with massively multiplayer online action via the Codemasters Multiplayer Network.

did anyone noticed how the crosshair moved? It's either EXTREME auto-aim or a wacky new control scheme...

hopefully it's auto-aim that can be turned-off

Ahh.. This does look nice. If nothing else, it will tide us over until TF2 (sometime next millenium I hear).. The only other thing on the horizon that looks this good with a team play concept is Tribes 2, hell you can play that right now if you run a no pause slide show of all the damn pic's o the day of T2... =)

"Use Russian Hind helicopters, fly American Super Cobras, take a seat in tanks and transport trucks, use civil cars and planes too to fight with or against the rebels. Take aim with assault rifles or sniper rifles. Or avoid shooting at all, sneak into an enemy base at night and blow up their fuel depot. Stop reinforcements and sabotage enemy supply lines. Navigate in real time over huge maps were you even have to use time acceleration if you donÂ’t want to run down all this kilometers in real time!"

Fucking awesome. Fuck the graphics, with gameplay like that, this game will own.

This looks alot like the military's old SGI trainer software they played around with for a few years. Wonder if there is any connection or just coincidence.

I heard it's "Steve lying in his houserobe" engine is quite awesome.

Flashpoint looks quite interesting... although I'd have to say the houses I saw in a few of those Screens dont look too involving.
