Umm thats Armed Assault. Same game, new name. Notice the developer is the same for both?
Reason for the name change is Bohemia Interactive had a falling out with Codemasters, and Codemasters owns the rights to the name Operation Flashpoint. So to get it released they changed the name to Armed Assault and are trying to find a new north american publisher last i heard. Read Operation Flashpoint 2 E3 2005 Hands-On Impressions (btw split this off to its own topic as it has nothing to do with Prey) Last edited by NeonSamurai; 07-28-06 at 11:52 AM. |

From what I understand, they are two different games? I knew both where in development at one time, have they merged?

Some more info on the two games:
Due to legal issues between BIS and Codemasters, the original publishers of Operation Flashpoint, Codemasters owns the intellectual property to the game. Since BIS has severed its connection with Codemasters and no longer own the Operation Flashpoint name, Armed Assault is considered to be the direct descendent of Operation Flashpoint but not a full sequel (hence references to Armed Assault as Operation Flashpoint 1.5) while a total sequel to Operation Flashpoint is currently referred to as "Game 2". Codemasters plans to release a rival title to BIS using the name Operation Flashpoint 2 with which BIS has no participation. The current estimated release date is July / September2006 based on an official declaration of an Q3 2006 release. |

Those screenshots are still not from Operation flashpoint 2, as since the split codemasters is last i heard still looking for a new developer to start work on it. All those screenshots are from what was going to be OFP2 from BIS, and is now Armed Assault. Just go to the main site if you want to see the exact same style of graphics. http://www.armedassault.com/
As proof just look at Codemaster's site for OFP2, there are no screen shots, no nothing, just a hardly used forum. |

Btw i cant find anything post the split with Codemasters and BIS of any sort of updates what so ever on OFP2. There is also no way they are gona develope a brand new game from scratch in less then a year. Plus Codemasters doesnt own the engine BIS developed which those screenshots were generated, BIS does.
