It is being made by a different developer than from first Operation Flashpoint, ArmA, and ArmA II, all three of which were made by the same guys. Dragon Rising is being made by a different team.

More pics and vid (if you want to view in HD you have to go onto youtube's actual site)

On the Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising topic, they dropped the mission editor from that game so there will most likely not be many mods or community content available for it. I know the ACE mod for Arma1 radically upgraded the game and improved upon it, and hopefully that can do that for this game once it becomes longer in the tooth.

Kinda disappointed by the A-10 gun sound, hopefully just a bug.

arma, just like OFP, and likely just like Arma II has the issue of being a ridiculous CPU hog.

so...it comes down to stability, and ability to co-exist on the box with other instances. that, or we have to get a standalone box....which we can do.....but that makes it quite expensive to host. For example, we can host 2 CSS, 2 TF2, 2 CoD, and 1 DoD server....all on the same box. We can host 4 L4D's and PR on the same box. We can host BF2 and 2142 on teh same box. We can't host anything else on a box that runs arma...unless we disable all co-op missions and such...which we won't do.

So........it then also comes down to resources and cost, as usual. Sure.....we have the money...but are there users? Will there be a following? there was, for a bit, with ArmA....but everyone wussed out, no one stepped up to take the lead off of me and sjt from the low and mid admin ranks (that's how you become a high admin, people), no one stepped in to stimulate IN-HOUSE mission generation, map making, mod development, etc.

And so it dies at TTP, just like ArmA died globally...or at least is dead relative to the games we host.

We'll figure it out......see what's possible, and what's not.
