I guessed I would find some more old time fans....

Just remeber bis is not working on that, bis is making ArmA and Codemasters the publishers OPFP are making OPFP and in the end its going to be who made the better simulator game.

Thankfully for fans like us we win on both cases....

I will prepare my sniper outfit and hide in the leaves next to the store

Lets just see how Codemaster does, they have been working on this for what 6-7 years in the making..

Spring is the last word, until that changes I would suggest not to expect it sooner.

Ah yes that is it.. after looking over it, I was nervous to post a video from youtube because of the title producer and the quality.

Oh well.. perhaps we will get a bone on the 20th..
or when ever the codemaster marketers feel its time...

Today, Codemasters revealed that the sequel to Operation Flashpoint, known as Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, will release to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this summer.

To help build excitement for the title, Codemasters put out a tech demo video that takes a look at what's under the hood of Dragon Rising's EGO Engine. Even though the developers express an understandable bias towards EGO, treating it as if it were the Holy Grail of gaming engines, it's actually quite an impressive piece of tech. Watch for yourself.

Go to the link to watch the video.. Includes information, commentary from devs, and in engine gameplay, explanations, and some more good stuff.

Official Press Release..

OPERATION FLASHPOINT™: DRAGON RISING BREAKS FROM COVER WITH TECH VIDEO AND NEW VISUAL IDENTITY.19.02.09 Operation Flashpoint™: Dragon Rising, the much-anticipated military shooter that marks the return of the genre-defining conflict series, breaks from cover today with the reveal of its visual identity and the release of a studio insight video. Showcasing the cutting edge technology that will take gamers closer to war than they’ll ever want to get, the video is now available to view and download from www.flashpointgame.com.
Set to deliver the most accessible, engaging and visceral sandbox shooter of the year, Operation Flashpoint™: Dragon Rising is being developed using an evolved variant of the EGO™ Engine, Codemasters Studios’ proprietary technology platform. A cross-format iterative technical project, developed with accreditation from platform holders, the EGO Engine has previously been used to great effect in the creation of award-winning titles Colin McRae: DiRT™ and Race Driver: GRID™. The EGO Engine video released today demonstrates how this technology powers everything from minute detail to grand landscapes; delivering the most immersive real world effects and environments ever seen in a FPS.
“The advantage of investing in our own technology is that we can custom-build major engine components specifically suited to each title; such as dynamically lit particle effects for gunfire and explosions, incredible vehicle detail and extensive worlds that you can literally get lost in” said Brant Nicholas, Senior Producer, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
“Everything that the EGO Engine does adds to the experience and tension of being in a serious conflict situation where one shot can kill. Using the engine’s rendering tech and customised audio systems, we can make players feel the danger and adrenaline rush of modern combat, immersing them in the battle as deeply as possible. The realism of the game and its artistic content goes along way towards that, but having tech driving the detail and effects will give players a real sense of what it’s like to have a 80mm mortar shell land 30ft away – it lifts the playing experience to a whole new level.”

A new high-impact visual identity was also unveiled with the reveal of the game’s logotype and pack design. “As a pillar title for Codemasters in 2009, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising benefits from a very stylish and focussed art direction that is reflected throughout the game, its front end and will be carried through to its on-shelf presence,” said Alex Bertie, VP Brand & Marketing, Codemasters.
“The logo is a reinvention of the original with an updated contemporary design to reflect a news ticker style and ties to the gritty documentary style of the game’s visuals. Dropping the ‘2’ from the logo is a further nod to the original and tightens the game’s title itself. The packaging also echoes the game’s dramatic and powerful imagery, combining mono photography of an ‘unknown soldier’, in authentic USMC uniform, with a treated in-game background. It’s a high-impact direction befitting of the game’s intense combat experience.”
Coming this summer for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Games For Windows®, Operation Flashpoint™: Dragon Rising will see players engaged in the lethality of a deadly conflict against the full force of the Chinese PLA on the huge open-world island of Skira. Take a step closer to war than ever before with the game’s trailer and the new EGO Engine video, along with the latest in-game screenshots, all available online at www.flashpointgame.com.

Bullshots start at 13+ in the gallery on the official site there.

Don't even bother looking at the DIRT 2 media, Codemasters are the new masters of unrepresentative footage.

Actually 13, 14, 15.. then 16 is 'real' again. They're mixing them all up!
