Just to inform you guys that don't know. The ECP v1.075 is coming out soon, as in a few days or a week, and it adds some nice features for example that it changes the AI to become even smarter and the effects are less laggy then before.

The ETA for that mod has been "days" for about a year so I'm not exactly holding my breath.. Rolling Eyes

Confused

We're already at ECP 1.085 (great mod btw), which was released several months ago Razz

If you mean EECP for 1.085, then yeah, its been quiet there due to the maker of the mod being held up by real life... but afaik he's just taken up work again.

Oh, looks like I've been looking in the wrong place then. I've had this thread bookmarked to check for progress on the mod but I guess the updates were posted elsewhere.

Can we please keep Armed Assault and OFP2 separated from now on?

I hope you are aware of the fact tha Bohemia Interactive Studios no longer works with codemasters in any way. BUT Operation Flashpoint is still a brand registered to Codemasters and therefore BiS named their game Armed Assault to avoid copyright problems.

What does this mean?
OFP2 - IS NOT developed by the original OFP team.
Armed Assault - IS developed by those who did OFP.

So Armed Assault is not OFP 1.5 or something like that. I consider it the TRUE sequel to OFP as Codemasters most probably will fuck up OFP2 real bad (and add Starforce to it so it will run at about 2fps on the newest hardware avaible).

Hope that makes a little bit more clear... All respect to BiS let's just hope they find someone to publish Armed Assault (there is no publisher yet!!!! Sad )



Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

if you look Bohemia's website games, then you can see "UNDER DEVELOPMENT":

http://www.bistudio.com/games.html

Armed Assault and Next Generation PC Game.
if you click the last one, then it hints website to OFP2 website. so, they "may" have some business with it's name. (ofp2 official site also hints bohemia logo)

EDIT2: as you know! Armed Assault runs on OFP1 engine and OFP2 on brand new one!

Hmm, it's confusing tho,
cuz on http://www.flashpoint2.com/
you can turn that "TV" on, and open the "MENU"
And then "switch channels"

And then you see a flash movie that says:

"ARMED ASSAULT"

So what's the difference?

Look at cnz's post.

OFP2 = Codemasters.

Armed Assault = New Campaign, New Island, New AI, New Effects/Graphics etc. Call it an expansion upon the old OFP.

"Game 2" = The ultimate war sim, should include uber AI which you can interact with (Ask about the enemy, giving hints etc) Live "vege" system which make the nature replenish. And Much better GFX (some call this the real OFP 2)

Quite right except that afaik Armed Assault will already use the new engine (some open source engine called ODE or so I think). Old material will be ported to new engine to profit from the benefits like DX9 and high view distances and geomatery instancing.

The benefit of using the new engine will also be that once game2 is out, porting armed assault Mod-content to game 2 will be fairly easy since they use the same core engine and specifications like polycount etc. BI also talked about Armed Assault being a "Preparation" for the community for Game2 (which is the true OFP2 despite its different name)

Game2 will also use the same engine, but it will have many additional engine features (like that vegetation simulation thing, completely dynamic and open mission structure, super AI, dynamic destruction of terrain and buildings) that have to be additionally programmed first and thus won't be in Armed Assault. But graphically, it uses the same core rendering technique.

and to notice,
Armed Assault will mostly upgrade from Operation Flashpoint: Elite (xbox) physics and shit.
OFP 2 will be release in late 2006 or 2007 - no one actually knows when..
