Can you still blow tanks up with a machine gun?

. . .I need to stop looking at things like this. My list of reasons for finally getting a console is reaching a needlessly large amount down the page.
Interesting though, it seems like they've maintained the Flashpoint mystique. (Mystique, n, Read: Try that again, you idiot)

Still? I didn't know you can do that in OFP1. Anyway the preview sounds good, but I still hope ARMA2 fares better than Dragon Rising. After all, the guys who worked on OFP aren't working on Dragon Rising. I just think it's a shame ARMA2 still didn't get enough polish and still has issues carried over from ARMA1

Do you really care more about who a game's by than how it turns out?
I don't get why Bohemian Interactive get so much support on this issue. Yes, they gave us OFP, so hooray. That was nearly a decade ago. Since then, they have given us nothing but buggy, broken, generally inadequate follow-ups.
Maybe it's not strictly 'fair' for somebody else to use the brand name they created, but.... so? All it means is that the OFP brand hasn't been ruined yet. History has shown that if BI had been allowed to keep the name, it would have been ruined by now.
Someone else has been given the chance to live up to the original game. And since we now know that BI would never have done this, this is not a bad thing.

And that someone is the co-creaters of the original so if anyone can make it good, make it fun and more importantly make it with an occasional visit from colonel quality control on his badass electric scooter "'Bugzappa", it'll be them.

I am still wary of OFP2's quality. The name itself, and the fact they're doing this on consoles too, isn't re-assuring at all. But hey if they pull it off, and improve on OFP in every way, good for them, and good for us old time fans.
I'm just cynical about the game.

Ah no, it is ARMA2 that allows you to take out a tank with an SMG. The previews OFP2 have the Red Barrels of Doom thoughm and medkits to heal head injuries.

Well, it's not like BI's subsequent releases have showed much in the way of polish and quality. Dragon Rising can't be any worse.

There's nothing wrong with consoles.
