some of my best multiplayer experiences were had when i was playing the original flashpoint CTI mode online. command and conquer mixed with zone control = FUN!
i am hoping this game will bring the awesomeness that is tactical shooting back
Breakerchase @ Sep 17th 2009 10:10PM
Too bad there won't be any CTI in this eh?
Chromekreeper @ Sep 17th 2009 10:17PM
is it just me or does operation flashpoint sounds a bit TOO badass? i wonder if they thought 'hey, these are some badass war words, lets put em all together?'
Jerk Face @ Sep 17th 2009 10:29PM
It's the worst name ever, in a way that makes me laugh. Just pick random serious sounding words and you have a recipe for a new war game!
HSOL @ Sep 18th 2009 12:28AM
Any word succeeding Operation sounds bad ass. You could call it Operation Rainbow Unicorns and it would still sound cool.
Breakerchase @ Sep 18th 2009 1:35AM
It sounded great back in 2001...where were you then?
Pantsparty @ Sep 17th 2009 10:19PM
Looks awesome!
Add to my list of games I'll be getting.
OhPeanuts @ Sep 17th 2009 10:23PM
This game looks great. I kinda wanted MAG to look more like this.
CzAr @ Sep 17th 2009 11:13PM
It's not all about graphics.
Dr.House @ Sep 17th 2009 11:18PM
it's a good thing I'm building a new PC soon.
Dr.House @ Sep 17th 2009 11:19PM
oops didn't mean to reply to you
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 17th 2009 11:19PM
no but it's definitely a crucial component. A comic book with incredible writing and atrocious art is still bad
Amazingmike @ Sep 18th 2009 12:35AM
A comic is one thing, but an interactive video game is another. Sure, it's a component, but it's far less important than gameplay in the grand scheme of things. Even if the NBA Live series looked 10x better than the 2K series it would still suck if it didn't play nearly as well as 2K, if you catch my drift.
OhPeanuts @ Sep 18th 2009 12:52AM
No, I didn't mean to compare the graphics between MAG and this game but rather the way this game is set-up. It feels more like a team assault unit than what MAG has shown so far. I just had higher hopes for MAG to really be more than just the number of people playing and be more about an all out tactical warfare kinda feel.
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 17th 2009 10:27PM
man, it looks awesome but i hate it when they do the foreign teams in actual foreign language is. Dont fucking tell me "capriyt planye de voyut" if our flag just got picked up!
Brian @ Sep 17th 2009 10:31PM
like the characters in COD4 yelling something that sounds like "buttered woman".
I suppose they want you to learn the language in order to survive, REALISM TO THE MAX
NukeAssault @ Sep 17th 2009 10:42PM
Oh god Brian.... now i cant un hear "buttered woman"! Thanks... jerk. ='|
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 17th 2009 11:17PM
well yeah in CoD they say stuff in Russian or Arabic or Japanese or whatever, but they say the important stuff in english. At least they do in WaW i dont really remember in 4, but it's the worst in the battlefields
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 17th 2009 11:27PM
I wish to know what are the Russians saying when the whole team wins in Bad company.
rabid1 @ Sep 18th 2009 6:17AM
different languages can actually be used to your advantage. When the other team calls out for fire support, assistance, whatever you can hear where they are. If they did that all in the same language you wouldn't be able to tell immediately if it was your team or the opponent.
Ash @ Sep 25th 2009 12:00PM
I can understand this foreign team already. At 1:10 he says "Oh sh-t!"
No Kill Tayler @ Sep 17th 2009 10:27PM
Looks like MAG with a bit of more Battlefield feel.
I'm going with MAG this time.
(Their is too many FPS's out there and I'm limiting it too MAG and ODST.)
I need to check out other genres of gaming.
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 17th 2009 11:36PM
If IW is cool MW2 won't have online achievements beyond co-op so I can relax,have fun with it and switch to Bad company 2 and M.A.G.
I just upgraded my internet connection.Not good enough to play a beast like M.A.G but enough to be mediocre at COD and with any luck I'll be able to play this and Bad Company 2.
CzAr @ Sep 18th 2009 12:16AM
We are people assuming you need some crazy internet connection to play MAG? If you can play COD4, Bad Company etc, you can play MAG.
CzAr @ Sep 18th 2009 12:16AM
Why are people***
We Are People!!!
Breakerchase @ Sep 18th 2009 1:35AM
Trust me, MAG will not be the lagfest you're all expecting.
gamepete64 @ Sep 17th 2009 10:44PM
Looks pretty good. I like the variety of things in the game. If there wasn't a MW2 I would get this, lol.
NukeAssault @ Sep 17th 2009 10:48PM
Im still on the fence about this... but im sure ill get it.
Roadblock @ Sep 17th 2009 10:59PM
MW2 and new flashpoint ... gaming is going to be good.... back in the day it was flash point or GR....
johnnynumber5 @ Sep 17th 2009 10:57PM
Looks realistic. I'll probably get MAG and Modern Warfare 2 over this one though.
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 17th 2009 11:31PM
Flashpoint,MW2,MAG and Bad Company 2.
I'm glad there isn't a new counter strike.
I'll get the PC version for the kicks. I don't think I'll be able to complete all the trophies and I hate when the Trophy bar says something like 32%,it feels like I could've rent the game instead.
Kira @ Sep 17th 2009 11:35PM
This is relevant to my interests.
NintendoJunkie @ Sep 17th 2009 11:36PM
Sadly I never played GR for whatever reason. However I did play a fair amount of Rainbow Six Ravenshield back in the day. Man was that fun.
I think the prison, meatpacking, & training ground maps were my favs. It was always fun rigging the doors w/ C4 & camping. It was also amusing for people to argue via chat in the game whether or not someone was camping or if it was strategic or not. People would bitch if you used smoke 'nades because it was cause lag on the server. Using the heartbeat sensor or the heartbeat sensor jammer was fun too.
For some reason there was a huge amount of servers that were French or German. That was always "fun".
*sigh* Those were the days...that being said I'm gonna have to consider adding this one to my must buy list.
Charlie_Six @ Sep 17th 2009 11:52PM
I'll have to try this for the aircraft
kelly76 @ Sep 18th 2009 8:15AM
Can somebody please tell me what "MAG" is?
Rob Bourne @ Sep 18th 2009 9:01AM
Massive Action Game - a forthcoming PS3 title.
Francuzzz @ Sep 18th 2009 12:41PM
YEEEEEEE this is MW+tactics!!!
kentuckyfried @ Sep 18th 2009 12:22PM
It looks good. I hope it plays as well as it looks.
So far the game's been almost under the radar too. It would be interesting to see if it suddenly became a sleeper hit.
Anyhow, must wait for a few reviews.
Gaucho @ Sep 18th 2009 1:13PM
I loved the original, I remember practicing for hours on end to take out helicopter pilots while in the air with a sniper. There was nothing more satisfying than seeing the helicopter crash after the shot.
KenSharp @ Sep 18th 2009 2:12PM
This looks VERY promising. I just might have to indulge in it...
Jasmino924 @ Sep 18th 2009 7:43PM
I'm not sure whether or not I should get the game but I might be swayed if they were offering a collector's edition or even a pre-order bonus. Any news?

I just hope it's better than OFP1's online multiplayer where you could spend the entire round searching for someone to shoot before being picked off by a sniper miles away disguised as a row of hedges!!
DevilBeard @ Sep 19th 2009 6:22AM
I remember playing the first one on my dual celeron, voodoo 3 3500 equipped gaming beast (lolz). I seem to recall a section where you end up in some woods, alone, with next to no weapons then being hunted by a helo. The sense of dread, accompanied with a muttered "Oh...balls...".....
Might have to dig out my copy...
