OFP2 vs. ARMA 2 Part 3 of 3

This is a short demonstration of the two games, compared side by side. ARMA 2 is running ACE 2 beta mod. Forgive framerate issues, FRAPS is to blame.

OFP DR: ACOG reticule wrong (you won't see the front sight when looking through it), EoTech reticule wrong (crosshair should be slightly over front sight, not on the tip), ACOG type (TA01NSN) is wrong should be TA31F, reload drill is wrong (racking lever instead of pushing in bolt catch on M4/M16/SCAR), AI uses burst fire (RL Marines firing on semi most times), and I could continue through pages...

@Banderas23mfr For the most part youre correct but you gotta remember that the holo sights & acog are adjustable for elevation as well as windage. When adjusted up it is possible for the sights to appear above the front iron sight.

how do you can watch around in the helicopter on operation flashpoint dragon rising

@pkaka1 TrackIR

Basically, if you're looking for a true(ish) to life war simulation, get ArmA2. If you're looking for a semi-realistic war game choose OFP2... Its literally THAT simple

[ArakNafein]

@Mikeyc2k6 Couldn't have said it better myself.

[xXxMartin96xXx]

so, we have to say that the only thing better on OFP2 are the graphics, destructivle enviroment physics, and AI

[Zaghwa94]

@Pvjinflight Iwouldn't call it "MILSIM" neither ;)

[Pvjinflight]

@GMODCREATOR Yeah OFDR is maybe more realistic than average war game, but still its not anything near Arma 2, I wouldnt call it milsim.

[MrSzczuras]

CODEMASTERS!!! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE DONE TO OPERATION FLASHPOINT!!!

[GMODCREATOR]

At the end of the day there both good but I feel OFDR is too limited.

[Pvjinflight]

@FIN232 Probably its partially because of bad relationship beetween Bohemia interactive which made original OFP1 and arma series, but codemasters stole Operation Flashpoint name from Bohemia after their work together stopped, so they had to change name to Arma. And operation flashpoint 2 really sucks when compared to Arma 2, thats just a fact.

[FIN232]

god dammit what is wrong with you people i hate all of you that think another game is better if you think a game is better why the heck are you saying that the other game sucks ass and this game is so much better...... look people if you like a game and dont like another why are playing the other game then?? and i dont like god of war but im not becoming an asshole and whining about it goch....

[Botev1912Botev]

Is OFP2 free world like arma 2 ? I mean can i walk where i want ?

[0lionheart]

Honestly, there's so much hate between ArmA and Flashpoint fans. It's ridiculous, you both like realistic shooters - why not just agree they're both good games? One's better for the uber-realism enthusiast and one's better for the less hardcore. Something for everybody.

right at the very beginning when he moves his head tot he right, the holographic sight is wrong, the sights are pointing elsewhere to where the gun is actually be pointing. The holographic sight is supposed to collimate.
