Looks pretty sweet. Of course, why that guy is toting what seems to be an MP5 is a mystery.

Here's hoping they have no sillyness like T-72s equipped with DShKMs like Armed Assault.

What the hell is the relationship between AA and OFP2 anyway?

VBS2 has also been announced but this one has an insane price for the private user

Armed Assault is an unofficial sequal to OFP created by Bohemia.

Oh. Brown. Lots of brown.

And blurry distant vision. Because real is brown and blurry.

Why do game developers insist on using effects that take a shitload of processing power and actually make the game look like crap?

It looks like it might be a SCAR-L... Without a stock. Because that's how awesome soldiers are in THE FUTURE!

Looks more like an FN SCAR to me?

As long as it plays better than the Armed Assault demo, I'll be happy.

Holy.. i've said it before and i'll say it again. The day Operation Flashpoint came out, every FPS for the next 4 years was completely obsolete. Soon, it will happen again.

I think the relationship is that Armed Assault just updated the graphics but left most of the underlying mechanics intact from OFP, whereas OFP2 will be a brand new game.

The relationship is simple: Bohemia lost the rights to the OFP brand, so they had to rename OFP 2 to Armed Assault. Now, Codemasters is gonna capitalize on the brand it owns, and release their own OFP 2.

Now I get it. It's all about the license.

According to Wikipedia, Armed Assault is an "interim" game, while the true OFP2-that's-not-called-OFP2-because-of-Codemasters is simply known as "Game 2" at this stage.

Yes, this OFP2 is being developed by Codemasters, who had nothing to do with the original game except publishing it - they just managed to hang onto the rights to the name. I fully expect this to be a dumbed down cash-in.
