Modern Warfare 2 - Arcade Mode. Operation Flashpoint - Simulation Mode. If I were to draw an analogy with racing games, Modern Warfare 2 is to Need for Speed what Operation Flashpoint is to Gran Turismo.
OPFP:DR for sure! this is gonna be the FPS of the decade IMO.. hardcore mode.. uuh yeah baby! MW2 just if I need some arcade, linear running & gunning for fun.. but absolutely no chance against a 220 km2 sandbox! go to google earth and see the island. it's called KISKA in real life.. you can even see an old warship wreck near the beach somewhere. I hiope it's gonna be in the game as well..! i can't wait for this game.. I'm counting days and hours since one month now. see ya octobre 9th.. date of release in switzerland.
Neither, really. CoD dropped in quality after 2, and Operation Flashpoint 2 is an abomination of a once great franchise.pyromaniac223
Call of Duty dropped in quality? Yes, I will say the Treyarch CoD games are not very good but Infinity Ward is doing an amazing job with the franchise.
I just see OP Flashpoint having a more niche multiplayer group. I don't think the young kiddies that run around playing CoD will have the patience to play dragon rising. Which is a good thing if you ask me.
Operation Flashpoint looks surprisingly good. I'm getting MW2 regardless, but...could this be a MW2 killer if it catches on? Maybe I pre-ordered the wrong game?Can't wait to see some OF:DR reviews.
For now, I would rather have Operation Flashpoint. For the PC, of course, creating levels, editing maps, more people in multiplayer, and more people in Co-Op.
Im way more excited for Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising it just looks like a serious fps finally something the ps3 needs. Add me my psn is Muller39 and ill see you October 6th!
Both. One for the awesome Tactical based Warfare and the other for the not so tactical based Warfare.K1LLR3175
lol couldn't agree more. im a tactical shooter fan myself MW2 is a twitch shooter which is fine and fun for a bit but i prefer tactical, though im getting both.
There really shouldn't even be a debate here. Operation Flashpoint while it may offer unbelievable realism and military-like simulation qualities it won't deliver nearly the sensory experience that Modern Warfare 2 will. The fact that it's budgeted at $39.99 from the start suggests that the magazines like Game Informer whom have been ragging on the game's graphics might be onto the fact that the game's visual aspect might not have been as well implemented as their simulation like aspects. I hear the animation is a bit rough around the edges as well. The game looks dated but it is discounted as such. I will wait to see what the verdict is. I was looking for ward to it more than MW2 to be honest but as the both approach near, MW2 has more of my interest.

It costs $60 man but only 40 on the PC, what have you been reading?

ive read that the graphics have a more "rugged" feel on purpose.
You're comparing a possible GOTY to a game half the people on this board probally never heard of.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

hey, it happens. For me, Im going for Operation Flashpoint DR. Lets face it, Call Of Duty games are getting a little stale. Playing online, there is a defining lack of teamplay options. When comunicating with your team on CoD, you'll tell a guy to flank left and what does he say? "Screw Off You n00b". Seriously, basically, your playing "lone wolf" every single match, getting killed every 2-3 seconds. Plus, getting kills on that game requires no skill at all. All you gotta do is have perfect reaction time. Not saying you that you can have no reaction time plossible but still. Besides, I like Treyarch more than Infinity Ward.
Of course the graphics and animations aren't going to look as good as they would in a game like Cod. Look at the scale of Ofp2. The draw distance is huge. Here's the new " Fog Of War " vid....http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-396178.aspx
definitely getting modern warfare 2. no doubt about that. most probably getting OF:DR2. will look at reviews first, then getting it at the first sight of good reviews.
