My Gamestop told me they will have it on Tuesday.

It's suppost to be released Tuesday, I'm just stopping by walmart on my way home from work and picking it up. Whether I'm on it will be a different story, lol.

Getting this tomorrow. Hopefully some of the old guard will be playing it on the 360.

Will you guys actually play this?

I'm on the fence, having never played the first one, but I need a strategic, slow paced FPS to counter the run & gun of the upcoming Modern Warfare.

I'm on the fence too. I mostly buy FPS'ers for the MP. Does this game have any good MP?

IGN UK Review - 8.1

Far slower, more strategic and more realistic than most modern war shooters – Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is fairly sure to find an appreciative audience. At its best, it's nerve-janglingly tense as you plot and then implement the next firefight – where decisions you make have very serious consequences. But be warned, it's not a game that gently welcomes those more used to running-and-gunning, and even for the hardcore, there are serious problems with awkward command menus for your squad and bland missions at the top of the list of minus points. Online, with friends, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising really shows off its best side – and the game is probably best played through co-operatively. If you like playing co-op, or you don't mind trading moments of frustration for a smarter, slower war experience, this is recommended.

I keep reading bad things about the game, yet the scores are good.

What have you heard that is bad? I loved the first one. It takes a certain personality to like this kinda game for.

I wouldn't imagine most of the people online I meet would like it.

Re: E3 - Operation Flashpoint2 - hardcore fps

I havent read anything bad other than a complicated command and control setup. There were a few blurbs about AI being super awesome at one moment and totally full ****** the next.

Multiplayer is 4 vs 4 or 8 vs AI with each human getting 3 AI squad mates.

There are two game modes as of now, Annihilation (deathmatch) and Infiltration (attack and defend) with more to come via DLC.

Also 4 player Co-Op through the entire campaign.

Just little snipets from the reviews. I guess they are mostly referring to the slow pace. Which I personally will like.

I could have gotten this on Thursday but I wanted to rent it first. Whenever Gamefly ships this I'll be on 360...

Damn I just checked my GF queue and they have the damn thing releasing on the 8th...

I am not sure how much support there will be on multiplayer versus. But a game like this one should be OK with randoms.
I am more excited about the co-op. I will be playing though the campaign on co-op with friends. You are welcome to join us.

I love the slow methodical gameplay over the run and gun chaos big time....
