Flashpoint 2 Chasing After CoD 4 Market?

The first Operation Flashpoint was a pretty cool game, but it didn’t have great reviews because of high system requirements. It giant battlefield maps and combat from a soldier perspective up to a company commander of a tank platoon. Operation Flashpoint 2 is going to take place in a modern setting though and not in the Cold War like the last one. The battles will take place on an island group with a variety of natural resources that both Russia and China are after.

“Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising utilizes an evolved version of Codemasters proprietary game engine Neon. As depicted in the new teaser trailer, soldiers, weaponry and military vehicles will be as authentic and realistically detailed as ever, and the environments will be a comprehensive simulation of real world locations, densely packed to create rich and challenging tactical combat situations.Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is in development at Codemasters Studios, and is currently rated “RP” (Rating Pending) by the ESRB. Be sure to check out the official game website located at www.codemasters.com/flashpoint2 to see the teaser trailer and to sign up for future development briefings.”

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is to be released at the end of November for PS3, PC and Xbox 360.

Sounds like they could have learned a bit from the success of Call of Duty 4 and are trying to tap that market. What do you think?
