Can anybody confirm this is NOT split-screen co-op???

360 was sold out in the City and Daly City.

The AI is crazy in this. It is unforgiving but not impossible. I like the way they flank and suppress you.

Is their many people playing online for the PS3? Thanks.

No split screen.

I haven't jumped online yet. I've just been enjoying the campaign.

Also, I love the way the tracer rounds bounce off the ground sometimes.

OMG, Love this game. So real, Beat the first lvl with some folks on here. Note to self, CPU Controlled Hellicopter Pilots are awsome but do alot of evil knievel stunts. Others know what I am talking about.

Also note to self, jeeps control like tanks..... Candyman, Cusefan and I had to hoof it in the wilderness for what seemed like 2 days LOL! The sun went down on us we were out there so long

I just figured out, if you are dying you can call for a medic by pressing R1/RB

Re: E3 - Operation Flashpoint2 - hardcore fps

I have no idea where the sniper is zero'd and it's starting to aggrivate me.

I've got some kills on it, some seemed to be adding a dot for bullet drop every 100m, but I just killed someone with a chinese sniper rifle (all your troops speak chinese btw, so if you care what they say read the updates! lol) and the range was about 5-700 meters. I killed him while on the 2nd dot! ...so which is it? I don't care where it's zero'd just tell me what it is lol...is it zero'd for 200m, 300m, 100m I HAVE NO IDEA!! Sniping is my favorite, so I need to at least know where to start.

I logged off, so I can check online forums, boards etc...

Re: E3 - Operation Flashpoint2 - hardcore fps

I am really hating the Auto Save right now. Also During missions when Time is a Factor, it would be nice to have a watch so I know how much time I have.

Spoiler

I was on the 2nd mission and I got bogged down in a firefight which really set me back. I guess I was just supposed to go right by them. A more Clear Concise Operation order would be nice for missions like this

I think the snipers are tuned to a higher degree since they (in the right hands) are extremely powerful. Looks as though the bullet drop and trajectory is not directly in the sights one the dot, but seems to either be a combination of distance and range from target based on if you are crouching, and if the target is in a valley or not. Simply put, aim a few ticks above the target and you should see some shots hit their mark.... At least this is my experience thus far -

Re: E3 - Operation Flashpoint2 - hardcore fps

For those playing campaign by themselves, how well do your squadmates respond to your command? Is the in-game menu easy to navigate?

I know that it's best played with co-op, but just wanted to see if the single player experience was still worth purchasing. IGN's review said that your squadmates weren't always the greatest in terms of doing what you needed them to you, as well as accessing your menus was a bit wonky.

For the Most part they understand, but there are times where they appear to lose their smarts.

Hopefully they get a patch out because i noticed a few wonky things during Multiplayer, The CLU for the Javelin Missle launcher was Invisible, My M4 did not make any noise (and no it was not silenced), The Enemy appeared to be floating away, and a few other oddities.

I haven't found an answer anywhere online.

In this example - enemy is 400m straight line. If the sniper is zero'd to 300m you should be aiming one dot up. I think codemasters should release some kind of range chart because it defeats the purpose of sniping if you have no idea where you should be aiming. The binoculars are nice range finder, but if you don't know how your weapon performs there's no point in even getting that range. I'd love to practice alone to learn but this isn't possible either.

The game is really cool though, there's no doubt that even MP feels more like an actual conflict than anything else I've played. I'd just really like to get some kind of confirmation as to the range scales I should be using - I'm not even sure if it changes between rifles (which it might because my kills w/ the chinese gun seem to have less bullet drop)

Re: E3 - Operation Flashpoint2 - hardcore fps

I'm loving this game but I haven't been able to play lately. It keeps freezing on me. I know it probably isn't my disc because it's perfectly clean. I installed it to my hard drive and it kept freezing. I haven't tried with any other game because I'm watching the Cards game but it's pissing me off cause this game is so fun.

actually, if you mean they are less responsive during firefights or while injured, then it is suppose to be that way... the "morale" section of the handbook describes that your teammates may lose morale during heavy firefights which leads to them less likely to listen to you b/c you, as the commanding officer, have lead them into a firestorm already...

That sounds awesome if that is the case, but it also sounds like a dev cop out - cover up for AI deficiencies..... Either way, it's still a great game so far.
