Freedom of Play – Operation Flashpoint 2 will give players the freedom to
handle military crisis situations on their initiative. Unscripted missions
will task players with real objectives, such as laying down covering fire,
covering a friendly unit’s retreat or conducting short-range recon patrol.
Armed with cutting edge military hardware, players will need to balance brute
force with intelligent use of tactics. Once players have completed the
campaign, a Mission Editor enables gamers to create their own single player
and multiplayer missions.
The most realistic modern military conflict game – Operation Flashpoint 2
features unparalleled levels of realism and variety of military forces,
equipment, weapons and tactics. Fully loaded weapons and individual ammunition
types will be simulated with detailed ballistic physics, based upon
individually-crafted mechanics. Players will command and control a wide
variety of multi-component, multi-weapon vehicles, including tanks, infantry
fighting vehicles, APCs, attack and utility helicopters. The character damage
system authentically depicts the terrible wounds and injury from modern
weapons to communicate the reality of combat.
Platoon-Based Combat - As an epic campaign weaves the narrative, players
will fight as infantry soldiers in battle, drive tanks in armored assaults,
pilot helicopters in air strikes, and infiltrate the enemy in covert special
operations utilizing a wide variety of realistic military weapons from knives
and rifles to machine guns, grenade launchers and laser designators for air
strikes. In whichever role the player chooses, they will experience the fierce
and brutal reality of warfare and the shock and awe of contemporary firepower
unleashed on the arresting scale of modern combat.
Redefines the Size of Battle - Immense play areas of more than 135 square
miles give players a multitude of tactical decisions on how to best accomplish
missions. Densely packed with environment detail and objects, valleys,
mountains, coastlines, towns, villages and industrial complexes all combine to
deliver a rich and challenging tactical environment. The world is persistent,
so that buildings destroyed in one campaign mission will be destroyed in the
next.
Stylized Cinematography - Operation Flashpoint 2 will model the
environment, objects and people in realistic detail, but its visual styling
will embrace documentary techniques. The camera work through cut-scenes will
be heavily influenced by television war reports that are often shot under
extreme circumstances delivering a unique look with incorrect exposure, severe
camera shake and loss of focus.
