Due to it's 'realistic nature', Operation Flashpoint 2 was a pretty divisive game amongst gamers. In the end, the game was pretty well received by critics, and it also Codemaster's biggest selling title at launch, so it wouldn't surprise you if Codies went back to the franchise, would it?
While I can't conclusively CONFIRM that Operation Flashpoint 3 is in development, sources have indicated to me that the Flashpoint team is working on a new, unannounced first person shooter. The title has tentatively been scheduled for a 2010 release, and will be appearing on the PS3, XBox 360, and PC. The source tells me the game is 'highly explosive', which does sound like a bit of a departure from the Flashpoint norms, though. Outside of that, that's all for now, folks!
Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising was released on October 6, for the PS3, XBox 360, and PC. You can check out Dustin's review of the title here. |
