Modern Warfare bah give me this wow. True fully immserive worlds. I remember the first flashpoint games. Amazing engine along with darkstar from tribes with the full immerssive environements. This new flashpoint doesnt have the grainy look of the old engines.

And you people talkimng about the smoke, lol Teh graphics are fine. This is a full immersion engine dolts. No scripted paths or closed in environments made to look bigger then they really are. I'm sick of people judging every detail of eye candy versus the gameplay.

From Wikipedia:

"The multiplayer numbers are 16vs16 on PC and 4vs4 + 3 AI per person on consoles"

4 vs 4 on consoles...fuck that, seriously. Get on 16 vs 16 ASAP for consoles or pass.

I really want to love Arma for it's life like realism, I really do. However, it's clunkiness and bugs get in the way of the fun every time. Just when you get drawn in and think its awesome, you get kicked in the face with another game breaking bug. Therefore, I am looking forward to this new Operation Flashpoint game to enjoy, because form everything I have seen. It looks like it strives for accuracy, and sometimes in the name of playability and accessibility it pulls on the creative licence instead of realism, to make it more fun, instead of serving to punish you all the time, like Arma does. In conclusion, I really believe that Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising strikes the sweet middle ground, and it really "get's it".

Does this video have buffering problems for anyone else? Shackvideos and even the picture gallery are loading very very slow today.

I'm using FF 3.5.3 and Flash says I have the latest version installed.
