With all the information coming out for the most anticipated game from E3 (IMO), Armed Assault...

I have made a small sub-page from my web site with info, screens, and videos from the press release demo...

Can't wait for Armed Assault.

Neither can I. Did they get a publisher?

Nope not yet... unbelievable huh? you'd think publishers would jump on that title.

My thoughts exactly.

It's probably too "grown up" of a gaming system. I bet most of the publishers think one of two things:

1. Armed Assault is a re-hashed OFP...which, in their minds, is played out.

- Of course, we know the mod system has kept OFP on the stage well past its projected shelf life.

2. The game's too hard and not "gamey" enough for the X-Box crowd.

- OFP already has a console version...I wonder how well it did?

Of course, I'm most likely wrong about these assumptions, but the doubts still nag me.

Hey, Magnum...thanks a bunch for keeping the hope alive. I'm constantly checking to see what little nugget you've found on the web. Can't wait!

Ive heard alot of people suggest a steam like app, or even TG as publishers.

And yes the graphics are a little iffy, but why spend money on graphics when the mod community has really done a lot in the field as far as those go. OFP is a great game, from what i have played of it. I really hope they do find something soon and good. As long as they dont fall to the giants we will be good.

Most game companies do not care about the mod community: Valve, Epic, Dice, Id, and BIA are exceptions.

The problem is, you can't pinpoint the reasons for a purchase-I doubt DICE said "yeah, BF2 will own the market for 6 months, then get a boost 12 months from then when the modders release..." EPIC did though. UT2004 really milked the mod community-it formed an important part of their release strategy, allowing them to keep the game engine in the spotlight as they grind out UT2007.

BIA gets it too, but I don't think most publishers do.

Very poorly. The problem is the same one that plagued Ghost Recon for Xbox-it was too complicated for a console, and conceeded too much of the original title to the gameplay supported by consoles.

Magnum is tha man. If you haven't +repped him, you should!

Done...and done!
