Operation Flashpoint 2

[Fullforce]

I'll pick it up, I'm sure it'll be a good game and a lot of fun, but ArmA2 is where it's at.

Blackhawks + marines = fail.

Marines + M4s = fail.

Really, all it takes is what... a minute of searching and they could have found out that Marines use M16s and Hueys!!

IMO won't come near to it's predecessor.

i dont care if marines have m4 or BH , to me they are all US forces , and as long as the weapons do realistic damage , tanks are realistic , planes are realistic , animations are realisitc, im gonna buy it .

Agree with Sicario, they could even have auto M4s, I couldn't care less of what equipment they used as long as it plays right.

The white Helicopter is a SeaHawk in which the Marines DO use along side with the Navy. They scrapped the blackhawk.

According to the website, the time setting for the game is "in the near future" (hmmm, sounds familiar doesn't it).

The Corps elected not to buy BH's for the time being because they are not big enough to match the USMC style of fighting: Marine Corps uses fire teams of 4 and squads of 12, platoons of 50 (with the heavy weapons squad attached); the CH-46 carries 25 troops where the BH carries 14, meaning you could not divide a platoon evenly or you'd have to fly with empty seats to maintain unit integrity. UH-1N is not normally used to carry troops in the Corps but I think there is a "reality" mod which shows them doing that which you might play

That said, there might come a time where the CH-46's are falling out of the sky faster than they already are and the V-22 is too expensive so the Corps might be forced to fly a custom varient of the UH-60 until the V-22 or its replacement comes fully on line.

As for the M-4, the Corps does use it, at this time its being issued to all officers and NCO's who used to use the M9 pistol. Does anyone else see the problem with this? (Think like a sniper.) So eventually I think you'll see the whole Corps start to issue them.

The marines are adopting both, and its a seahawk not a blackhawk.

Fail.

Seems pretty interesting.

Ever since I've heard about the player cap of 32 players for PvP and 8 for Co-op my enthusiasm for that game went rapidly down...


Honestly, I still can't get over the feeling that this is gonna be yet another arcade game.
I hope I will be proven wrong
