A post by helios recently has suggested an update on this front later today, once posted this post will be updated.

Here

Helios just announced that the official release date (Yes, A date, not a period) will be announced on the upcoming Friday, in the early morning, to be precise. Helios also told us there’ll be a new video, showing the Armoury of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Helios also promised us a brand new set of screenshots. To “Get a whet appetite” Helios also posted 2 new screenshots.

Full size screenshots can (of course) be found on Flickr.

Hero FCOPZ-Illuminator found us a new screenshot, originally posted on the german site “www.esl.eu/de” as exclusive screenshot.

At approximately 09:36 AM: Helios got a list of replies to some questions the community had asked, the questions and answers are here and the discussion area is here.

Is all the sound effects for this trailer fake and prerecorded? By that, I mean are they recorded specifically to make this trailer feel more seamless and cinematic?

Because I’m very very skeptical that the final game will have sound effects this good and realistic (e.g., the gentle shuffling of your weapon as you look down your scope, the hard footsteps on the grass, the heavy breathing after sprinting, and the good, appropriate-sounding voice acting of the commander shouting “enter that building” or “we need to fall back”)

I’m skeptical, because the sound effects sound way too good and seamless and realistic to be true. I haven’t heard sound effects this realistic even in COD games.”

“Everything you hear in this trailer is in-game assets. No additional weapons or ambiance was recorded specifically for this trailer. Incoming fire sounds like that in game, Foley (the movement of clothing and so on) is from the game. So when you raise your gun up to aim in game, you will hear that movement sound detail. IMO we haven’t perfected it yet, but we have put a lot of effort into the speech to try and make it sound natural and humanistic in-game. So although a lot of it is made from smaller parts it sounds like natural speech.”

Hello,

I am PhilipLarkin. I was bored so I watched the new trailer over and over, snapped some pics, and put some pointers on. Enjoy!

This new video seems to show some nice footage of the game itself and is split between gameplay and cinematics (According to that told to us by helios)  although containing some problems such as the clouds moving too fast the game itself seems to have made a few improvements in the graphical department.

Of which are:

• Grass render distance improved.
• Glow around friendlies and enemies seems to have been removed.

Besides these we are hoping that CM (As shown before) will fix all of the issues present. Below is the video and below that is the thread to talk about the new video and possibly relay any issues regarding it also:
