From B.I.S. concept in 1997 (a bit of a reminder) to ARMA2 FEB videos x 3 & [OFP: DR] FEB video x 1

Enjoy

I'm lost for decisions now after seeing that vid.... I might just grab both of them.. The [OFP: DR] editor looks really cool n all

I prefer [OFP: DR]...first I've never heard of this game tks Viiiper for the info...what hook me most is environment lightning effects from skys changes and very dynamic light...the explosions effect wow so realistic...is there a demo of these?

This video is much more engaging/interesting than any of the previous stuff they have released to date, although it still really does not say/show much. However I will go so far as to say that it looks as if it is likely to be very competitive between ArmA2 and [OFP: DR].

For me, there is still not enough real information about either to even begin to make any serious comparisons or decisions.

The [OFP: DR] video definitely looks better than the screenshots we've been seeing. That said, I'm up in the air on [OFP: DR]. I'm still not sure how I feel about Codemasters using BIS' name and basic concept to their own ends.

Para im sure if they produce a cracking game your disappointment will fade quickly

[Parabellum 12]

We'll see. I'm sure that Arma2 will be a good game. I'm just having trouble thinking of any good Codemasters games in the past, lol.

Two games being rolled out at or around the same time...odds are one will hit the mark.

Confidence is high.

Positive comments in general, that is exactly how I feel, if one hits the mark I will be happy, two in one year, it's nearly an O.GR revolution play time

There is no Demo of either and there might not be too, primarily as both are sporting open battlefield gameplay, meaning the whole map is available in all modes & missions, no fake walls or barriers.

There will be more from both camps as they go for May & June/July releases (BIS & CM respectfully). Both will come with Editors & conversion tools, BIS confirmed SADS, CM have not at this time. CM use .lua scripting language (an international standard these days in games) BIS use there own proprietary scripting language similar to what GRIN did with GRAW but a more flexible & powerful version.

BIS will have 2 main forces, 2 sub rebel forces, civilians & animals, CM only confirms 2 main forces (USMC & PLA), both sport 4 man storyline (campaign mode), unclear if this will include AI assist option, both titles confirm you can storyline with AI or buddies, Coop mode, PvP (TDM etc) confirmed.

CM slipped their release calender to summer (June/July), originally May & BIS have posted (by devs at BIS forums) that they see no reason for the title release date to move.

They COULD just make a quick little demo map and 2 missions just for the demo...
