Bohema Interactive, developer of the first Operation Flashpoint, claims that Op Flash 2 is not a true sequel.
Bohemia Interactive, the developer of the first
Operation Flashpoint game
Cold War Crisis has lashed out at Codemasters recently in the form of an official press release, claiming that Codemasters is not making a true sequel.
Bohemia is bitter it seems that Codemasters has been billing the upcoming
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising as a sequel to the original game, which is widely recognised as one of the most ambitious first-person shooters ever made.
Codemasters, who published the original game in 2001, is developing
Dragon Rising itself. The publisher apparently owns all the rights to the
Operation Flashpoint name, but not much else - yet has still claimed that
Dragon Rising is a sequel to
Cold War Crisis.
"
Codemasters acknowledged that Bohemia owns all the intellectual property in the game -- except the words 'Operation Flashpoint.' said Bohemia's lawyer Leora Hermann in the press release.
"
Since Codemasters has no right to use the Bohemia Interactive game engine or any other component of the Bohemia-developed game, how can it rightfully claim to produce a 'sequel'?"
Codemasters hasn't yet issued a retort, but we'll keep you informed as things develop. In the mean time, pass on your thoughts about both games in
the forums.
I hope Codemasters release a true Op Flash sequel. ArmA certainty wasnt. It was Broken as hell. So all ill say is.
FIGHT!!!!!!
Ditto.
It honeslty looks like your standard, graphically unpolished, eastern euro development. I hate to be cold like that, but it doesn't seem far from the truth...
ArmA2 - coming for PC and supposedly a nextgen console. (most likely 360)
OF2: Dragon Rising - coming for PC, 360 and PS3
They both look like they will be very good. But OF2 will pwn in the gfx department. I'm definitely getting OF2 when it comes out.
Think of it like comparing a flight simulator to Ace Combat. Both are about flying aircraft, but one tries to mimic reality as closely as possible, and one has highly polished graphics and single-handedly taking down impressive superwepons. Both are fun, but in different ways. If you tried playing an Ace Combat game as a simulator, you'd quickly be frustrated, and vice versa.
How old are you? This is a typical answer from someone that has his configuration as a sign... It's a Military SIMULATION, not stupid crysis, Half life or similar games for no-brains... when you will play Operation Flashpoint (original) in multiplayer with 8 more people, you can come here and say something...
He is 52..... O_o
