I agree. It looks quite good. It looks like a game that will bring the hardmaps crew back together which is something i miss but we all play so many different games now. :o)

Yes it looks pretty.
But remember what happened in Operation Flashpoint:Dragon Rising.
The game was released with bugs. Nothing new in the gaming industry - they always do. But after just ONE major overhaul to make it even a semi-playable game, the producer (Sion Lenton) stated that as far as he was concerned it was now a "complete" game and nothing more would be done to it. No more patches, no fixes to make it playable - nothing.
In other words, they got their pound of flesh (ie. cash) from everyone and just dropped the game from within the vast emptiness of their collective minds. Sion Lenton has done this in the past with other games he's produced.
After all why FIX a game when they could make a new one and make even more money from suckers like us. The only reason its even still installed on my computer is that I have the hard drive space so it doesn't amtter.
Now onto this new one. Its ALSO produced by Sion Lenton, which gives me shudders up my spine. It looks great, but so did Dragon Rising. I really don't know if I'm going to get this one, unless it gets fantastic reviews.
Seems developers all have the idea to make quick cheap crap games for consoles (where quality doesn't matter as much-and most consolers have NO CLUE about a GOOD game) then port said sh*tty console game to PC where is sucks.
