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?'

This game looks great. I kinda wanted MAG to look more like this.

no but it's definitely a crucial component. A comic book with incredible writing and atrocious art is still bad

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Looks pretty good. I like the variety of things in the game. If there wasn't a MW2 I would get this, lol.

Looks realistic. I'll probably get MAG and Modern Warfare 2 over this one though.

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.

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.

This looks VERY promising. I just might have to indulge in it...

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!!

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...".....
