Totally arcade. No realism.

There is even this weird feature where you can choose what part of the plane to shoot(including the pilot himself).

Oh, i figured there couldn't be TWO new realistic flying games comming to consoles, at the same time, virtually. That would be too good, right ?

Well, IMO, I think the IL2 brand was the perfect flight sim brand to bring to consoles considering how popular, realistic, and unlimited the original was.

Great, i've been waiting along time for more realistic games, like this one and Operation Flashpoint to come to next-gen consoles. Finally the wait is over !!

Although I was pleased by your avatar, I am not so sure Codemasters will simulate the next series of OFP.

It is very likely I will buy it anyway, but I'm waiting to hear news on ArmA2 to Xbox(not to start a contriversy, but I have seen and heard BIS devs say it is coming to the Xbox.).

I haven't heard any news of arma2 comming to the 360, but if it does, i'll just have to get a 360 then, Even if Ofp2 is not as SUPER realistic and complex as Arma2, it will be better any other console shooters out, no ? It should be a more polished and streamlined game with less bugs than arma too, on the positive side.
Say, it plays just like cod ( which it isn't going to ), just the fact that it's on this HUGE island should make for a MUCH better experience. That along with a realistic damage system and no health regeneration, and i'm sold. I just hope this new engine is good. I hated the shooting mechanics in BFBC and Far Cry 2 but thought they were decent in cod, execpt for the recoil.

Right. I think it will easily kill COD and BFBC. I think the weapons are simulated at least. And yes, I have a feeling ArmA2 will be filled with glitches while OFPDR will be more smooth. I haven't read anything about it recently, but it looks like it's one hell of a game.

I've seen some BIS devs say that they are developing for Xbox(no news for PS3 at all) and that they had planned a simultanious release with the PC version, but it didn't happen. I heard there are no hardcore difficulty differences between the PC and Xbox which is good to hear. The thing is, is that they can't announce a game without certain requirements first and that's why they are 'technically' not developing for the 360.

Okay, let's keep this thread on topic though. Feel free to PM me.
