Operation Flashpoint 2 Pre-release Demo Confirmed

by Nick Breckon, Mar 13, 2009 12:04pm PDT

Codemasters has announced that a demo for its upcoming military shooter Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will see a demo release prior to the game's ship date.

Said Codie community manager Helios on the game's official forums: "Just wanted to confirm that as is the case with almost all of our major releases, OFP: DR is planned to have a demo released prior to launch for all platforms."

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is scheduled to arrive this summer on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

I am honestly surprised at how poor OFP2 looks compared to their original bullshot and pre-rendered stuff. I assumed (wrongly) that a dev that big, with the manpower they were throwing at the game, would be able to produce something that looked... good. Instead, I see something that doesn't really look much better than a BF2 mod, and in many ways worse. It certainly doesn't look next-gen. Or current gen, for that matter.

I won't even bring ArmA2 into the picture. OFP2 looks bad by itself, it doesn't need to be compared to its main competitor to show that.

Now, gameplay-wise? Who knows? Visually, though... very disappointing.

Personally, I'm looking forward to trying the demo for each before I decide which one, or both that I will purchase!

I really wanted to like this kind of game. I even tried playing with shacktac but I just couldn't maintain interest :/ I'm sure there are "great moments" but there was always just so much time spent doing things other than shooting things. Hopefully this game will have a better time/fun ratio.

OF2 or Arma II?

I never played OF1 or ArmA but I am starting to lean towards ArmA II. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 should be out this year so that'll be my casual, run and gun, kiddie shooter for the masses right there. ArmA II looks like it will be the complete opposite: a hardcore sim. OF2 seems to be somewhere in the middle.

I have not been able to figure out if you must command an AI squad in OF2 (something I do not want to do).

I have a feeling i will go for OpFlash as opposed to arma. I think many people are going to shun this game due to it not being the same devs. But arma seemed overly complicated. It almost seemed like it wanted to make a niche game. Hopefully this will be balanced out with more fun.

Anyone remember how awesome the original OPF demo was?

There were a bunch of mods out for it that unlocked the assets in the demo. Like the Blackhawk. The interface and everything was available for use, that was sweet..

Hopefully it won't be atrocious like the ArmA demo which single handedly turned me off that game.

A demo PRIOR to release of the actual game? Now that is something we haven't seen in a long time. Nothing will ever beat UT3's "beta" demo though. As far as I know its still in beta.

Hell yes, this is a game I'm really looking forward to so I'll be playing the hell out of the demo. Probably on 360 though unfortunately as my pc isn't a powerhouse...will be interesting to see how good it is on consoles :)
