Nah. After playing Op Flashpoint, Battlefield 2 is not all that enticing.

OFP 2 however - now that is a game I want to play!

That too. There will be two true sequals thig year, and I'll get both of them. I'll buy armed assault as well as operation flashpoint 2. We already know that Armed Assault will be good because it uses the same engine. OFP 2 however has the better graphics. Matter of fact it has some of the best graphics I have seen on a PC!

Here are some pics that impressed me about OFP2. It just screams atmosphere! Now I remember why I built this computer - it wasn't for Oblivion!:

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.

(btw split this off to its own topic as it has nothing to do with Prey)

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

Thought so - they are not the same game:

Operation Flashpoint 2, under development by Codemasters Studios, is expected to be released, when ready. Originally, Bohemia Interactive Studio was assigned to develop Operation Flashpoint 2, but with a break in relations between Codemasters and Bohemia Interactive Studio, Codemasters will find another developer to develop an entirely game and engine from ground up. Very little is known about the progress of Operation Flashpoint 2.
Armed Assault, under development by Bohemia Interactive Studio, is expected to be released in Q3 2006.

The graphics are even very much different between the two releases.
