The debate to which is the update to the original OFP goes on, many think ARMA 2 is.

It is due out next month, June 2009, and has coop, but from what I have read you can only play the entire solo campaign cooperatively, so another COD 5 or RS Vegas series type game.

From the Vids I have seen from each game OFP2 looks more BF2 like with better graphics than ARMA2 but you can never really tell until you get the game.

System Requirements
Minimum
dual core intel P4 3.0ghz - amd athlon 3200+ or faster
1gb Ram
7800 Geforce - ATI 1800 or faster with shader model 3 and 256mb ram
Optimal
Quad core CPU 2.8ghz - AMD Athlon 64x2 4400+ or faster
2gb Ram
8800 GT Geforce - ATI 4850 or faster with shader model 3 and 512mb ram

For me ArmA2 looks a bit too much like OFP. Though it may be more up-to-date, it still has some things from OFP such as those menus you had to use (and they are using some of the same sounds).

Based on what i've seen of both games, i still think OFP:DR is looking and sounding like the much better game.

Well I ordered my copy and I shall see how it is next week when it arrives, it is very difficult to pre judge a game on videos and trailers, I agree OFP2 looks better from the videos.

Im just looking forward to a new game that has coop! very exciting.

got it - tried it, well... it sure aint JO, and you really need a crazy pc to enjoy the game in full... but it looks ok so fahr with normal settings.
in missions, you get a bit enoyed of hearing, engaging enemy, from the team.. but i guess you can switch that off..
im qurious to see what you think of it master wedge

From what i heard in VT last night, it seems like Wedge, Trev and KP are a little undecided on what to think of it.

I'm sure we'll get a 'review' from them soon...
