That looks really cool. Wish listed. No idea when it's coming so hopefully it's not one of those they we don't hear about for another year.

And I hope it has at least co op.

Microprose have been doing some interesting things in these past years.

Edit: And they have a sale on currently.

Microprose remain the weirdest publisher.

If it has co-op I'd check it out. It's got the right ideas, a game like that lives and dies on its ai and combat scenarios though.

It can't have the indie, run forward a bit and shoot directly at the player ai.

Played the hell out of Operation Flashpoint. Still have the big box and disc too.

A demo just came out for this. It's still early days but loving what I've played so far. I was a bit iffy on the art style but the gameplay is pretty good!

From dynamic environments to custom loadouts, every mission is yours to approach your way.

Never heard about this game until now but definitely sticking it on the ol' wishlist. Loved Delta Force back in the day and the fact that it has co-op is a big draw as well.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

New Microprose has the fuckin' vibe. I really need to start buying some of these games.

 

[Hudo]

Delta Force was the only MP game I've played where camping was not only a legitimate strategy, it was essential.
