The sunlight wanes and flecks of rain begin snaking through the forest canopy. "If you play for hours, it'll even get dark," he beams.

This rocks! I wonder if there will be server side variables that will accelerate the day / night cycle.

I can't remember the name of the last game that had MP battle day / night cycles. It was a battlefield-esqe type game that used the same engine as blackhawk down.

It was so cool to start a battle at dusk, then have to switch to NV goggles when pitch black darkness rolls in. I hope ArmA lets you speed up the cycles.

I hope they get the multiplayer down this time (the ability to join a server without having everyone sync up first) and they need to "borrow" some things from BF2, I don't want limits on class selection, I don't want to spawn in and take over an AI soldier (right as a tank shell explodes right next to you), I want to choose a spawn point and go from there.

They should use the conquest model and add a matrix to it so you can't back cap.

I like the realism and tactical aspect of Operation Flashpoint but it needs to be fun too.

^ What he said. It's totally possible in OFP already, even the accelerated time part. Jack Thompson's Murder Simulator mission has accelerated time, and there are a bunch of missions we have that take place at dawn/dusk and have that play a factor in the mission.
