OFP2 is not being developed by Bohemia Interactive Studios.
"As you’re probably aware, we currently do not have a publisher for our upcoming games and also, the Operation Flashpoint trade mark name is an intellectual property of Codemasters and thus we cannot use the name or directly control what the name will be used for. It means that unless Codemasters were to publish any of our upcoming games (which is still a possible scenario) it definitely wouldn’t be named Operation Flashpoint." [1] - WEKS 09:57, 14 July 2005 (CET)
We are very aware of it but there was confusion on what it was gone be called and later on it was changed to "Game 2"/"Next Gen. Game" on the offical websites, but the name kinda stuck. If you look at most of game magazines on the web you'll see they use the name Operation Flashpoint 2 more then "Next Gen. Game" or "Game 2" as Bohemia Interactive wants us to use. But when the time comes to release new data about "Game 2" I'm sure Bohemia Interactive will say that Operation Flashpoint 2 has been given a new name (just an example on how they can solve this problem) or urge websites to use the name "Game 2"/Next Gen. Game (bad name but ok)

A sound crew contracted by Codemasters spent the week of 6-10 October 2008 at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., recording sounds from an M1A1 Abrahms tank, an Amphibious Assault Vehicle; a Light Armored Vehicle; a HMMWV; a Medium Tactical Replacement Vehicle (i.e., a 7-ton truck); a Logistics Vehicle System; and a 5-ton military tow truck. Not all of these vehicles may be in the game, but the sounds you will hear during game play are real sounds recorded from real Marine Corps vehicles by active duty Marines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.162.140.53 ( talk) 20:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Operation flashpoint 2 is in competition with ARMA 2 from bohemia. Arma 2 is very similiar in style and feel of OFP2DR, however the game arma 2 has a more simulated look to it and seems to be less "arcady". Both games are popular with military enthusiasts, and offer a more complete feeling miliary style FPS experience. Both games are sure to be a hit with the genre populists.

Besides vandalism the biggest bugaboo seems to be the release date. Allow me to clarify my position and see if there are other standards. The release dates given by sales-houses (like Gamestop) is a wild guess for the purpose of pre-orders.

Is the island 107 miles from furthest point to opposite point. If so the helicopter would have to be travelling at 351mph; which is the exact speed of the V-22 Ospreys maximum speed. but the Osprey is a tiltrotor, not a helicopter; helis can nly roughly manage about 150-180 at top speed. So this does not seem right, and there is no reference to say this is true (unless the reference at the end of the section covers all of it). Can someone please confirm this though. Sorry about the really rubbishy wording. 'The Ninja lemming' 12:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Release dates are a fluid thing, and unlike what posters may be implying, Flashpoint is not the only game to ever have a release date rolled back. The alternative, at best, is a half-complete and buggy game. People complain about not having a release date, then they complain it's so far off, then they complain when it gets moved back. The alternative is not getting a release date until final production, and simply having NO information for six months. Official word is unnecessary, as they told you when to expect it. You can have a team member to babysit your every insecurity and apologize for their release date, or lack of screen shots, or how your favorite widget never made it into the game . . . or that person can be making the game come out faster.
And as a guess to the cause of much of this vitriol, taking sides in a "battle" of video games is like trying to teach a pig to whistle. To spare you analogy and just jump right into it, it doesn't make either game look better, it makes it look like both games are played by self-centered children. 76.230.8.136 ( talk) 15:46, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

How is Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising not an official sequel to Cold War Crisis? It's the same publisher and the same title. To my understanding that is a typical example of an "official" sequel that is not considered an actual sequel by fans of the original. The ARMA series on the other hand can be considered unofficial sequels to the original Operation Flashpoints (although their articles call them "spiritual successors" which is also correct). Anyhow, I think the word "unofficial" should be removed (or even replaced by the word "official" to underline the difference to the ARMA series). -- F4LL0UT ( talk) 02:11, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
