This one looks great. Been wary of tactical shooters since hear Nick's impressions of ArmA II, but I think Flashpoint looks like it straddles the accessibility line a lot better.

"Accessibility" - that's a good word to describe the fine line that a game must not cross lest it leave the realm of entertainment.

One thing that Modern Warfare did right was to clearly separate the more arcadey style of multiplayer from the Hardcore mode, and therefore appeal to many more gamers than even Call of Duty 2 did. Seems like Codemasters did their research.

Sounds like Hardcore mode requires a solid co-op team to tackle it....mmmmm co-op

To be fair, Operation Flashpoint was hardcore way before Call of Duty.

That is true. Still, the comparison exists.

Cant't Wait

4 player co-op campaign... Awesome !

How hardcore is walking into a room with your back to someone killing the another guy and still having time to turn around and shoot the other guy?

Not that I care as I will no doubt pick this up but probably a bad bit to show.
Wonder how the threat indicator would work in hardcore mode. I mean how many people have surround sound setup to hear directional sound? I like the OGR setup, not too detail but at least you had direction of fire like you would hear.
