Codemasters nous propose enfin un trailer d'Operation Flashpoint 2, malheureusement 100% CG, ainsi que quelques images de type "target render".
Codemasters press release:
Welcome to a new flashpoint: Codemasters reveals the US Marines against the Chinese PLA in a battle for the possession and oil riches of the 220km2 Russian island of Skira
Friday 11th July/... Taking gamers as close to war as they’ll ever want to get, Codemasters® today revealed the CGI trailer video for Operation Flashpoint®2: Dragon Rising, the game that will mark the return of the genre-defining military series. Previewing the total conflict experience using footage created from rendered game models, the trailer is now available to view and download from www.flashpoint2-game.com.
The video reveals the sheer scale of Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising’s battlefield – the 220km2 island of Skira, located off the eastern coast of Russia, north of Japan. This oil-rich Russian-controlled island stands on the brink of war. An airborne division of the People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA) lands to claim the island as the sovereign possession of the People’s Republic. Russia turns to the US for support aid and they’re quick to respond. Sending in the USS Iwo Jima, a battalion of US Marines launch an assault on the strung out but dug-in Chinese force. Can the situation be defused before this flashpoint turns white hot and an all-out global war between the superpowers erupts?
The trailer opens with US Special Ops carrying out a stealth mission to destroy a Chinese forward observation post. Suddenly, their mission is compromised and the PLA forces attack. US reinforcements are called in and a full-scale battle develops between the PLA and the marines.
As the flashpoint escalates and becomes a total conflict situation, the action moves from position to position within one real-time battle. From Special Ops to troops piling out of LAV 25 APCs to Supercobras firing hydra rockets from the skies, to a squadron of UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters blazing away at the Chinese troops below. As smoke billows from explosions rocking the battlefield, the view pulls out of the cabin of a UH-60 Blackhawk until the island is seen from an altitude of several miles and the jaw-dropping size and scope of Skira is revealed in its entirety.
“Capturing the extraordinary intensity of rapidly escalating conflict in the game’s massive battlefield, the trailer embodies the unique Flashpoint experience,” said Brant Nicholas, Senior Producer, Codemasters Studios. “The video is a vivid portrayal of the jarring violence and devastating capabilities of modern armed forces and Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising will deliver the brutal reality of war on a breathtaking scale in the military sandbox environment of Skira.”
As an epic campaign weaves the narrative, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising will give players the freedom to handle military crisis situations on their initiative. Unscripted missions will task players with real objectives, such as laying down suppressing fire, covering a friendly unit’s retreat or conducting short-range recon patrol.
Players will fight as infantry soldiers in battle, drive tanks in armoured assaults, pilot helicopters in air strikes and infiltrate the enemy in covert special operations utilising a wide variety of realistic military weapons from knives and rifles to machine guns, grenade launchers and laser designators for air strikes. Whatever the situation, players will need to balance brute force with intelligent use of tactics in their engagement against the full force of the PLA.
Coming 2009 for major console platforms and PC, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is in development at Codemasters Studios utilising an evolved variant of its proprietary award-winning EGO™ Game Technology Engine.

Rien que du trailer en images de synthèse et des rendeurs pourris.
Plus ça va et plus je me dit que Codemasters n'a pas du tout confiance en son bébé et ça c'est très mauvais signe.
Deviens Urgent que Codemasters montre du gameplay là.....
Vivement une phase de gameplay.
Le reste sera identique, enfin sauf pour les gens hermétiques au FPS sans clavier/souris.
Je sais que ça ne reste qu'une vidéo CG mais j'espère que le soft gardera son côté tactique poussé et réaliste.
C'est un battlefield-like ?^^
mais c'est pas si simple
pour avoir testé le solo mais pas le multi (qui je pense doit être proche) de OfP1 sur Pc
je dirais avec les souvenir que c'est un mélange de BF et de CoD4
BF pour les véhicules et les grand espace (bien plus grand dans OfP)
et CoD pour la partie hardcore
faut vraiment tester sur le 1 pour ressentir ca, on pouvait vraiment vivre ca vie je trouve voir même jouer les soldats perdu derrière les lignes et mettre le bordel pour ralentir l’ennemis
Enfin, un bon jeu quoi!
Un jeu comme celui-ci n'a qu'un seul interet: le Live!
Cela dit j'attends également de voir ce que ça va donner avec le moteur de grid même si je ne m'attends pas à la grande réussite que fut son prédécesseur de nom en son temps.
Ha desoler pas lu l'info en anglais .
Players will fight as infantry soldiers in battle, drive tanks in armoured assaults, pilot helicopters in air strikes and infiltrate the enemy in covert special operations utilising a wide variety of realistic military weapons from knives and rifles to machine guns, grenade launchers and laser designators for air strikes.
Sinon armed assault pour avoir tester sur pc ( le solo seulement , j'avais la cerise mais pas le gateau ) n'a rien a voir avec les fps du moment sur console nextgen nan ? ( pas essayer flashpoint sur xbox )
Une chose est sur c'est que je compte me le prendre ( pc ou 360 ???) j'adore ce style de jeux et de plus si c'est réaliste c'est encore mieu et surtout immersif .
of2 est developpe par un autre studio dont c'est le premier fps.
de toute facon je doute que op2 soit le successeur fidele de op... deja rien que pour le coter simu hardcore. sur pc encore, bien que c'est mal parti vu la concurrence, mais console ...
shark si tu veux de la vrai simu bien hardcore limite casse burnes, alors fonce sur armed assault alias arma. ou alors red orchestra.
