As requested by a few members of the official community, I have made a way for donation to be made towards the growth of OFP2.

This button will allow you to donate any amount. All money will be used to grow OFP:DR and the community around it. No money goes to personal use and this is not affiliated with Codemasters other then the level of involvement, I and Helios have with promoting OFP:DR. Please donate gloriously and often, support your fellow members that donate so it’s a mutual strive for community wealth and prosperity.

Cannot donate?
Don’t worry. Always remember wealth is not purely though money. Promote the community services like the Toolbar and the Mailing list on new websites and you’ll help the community grow just as much as a prize will. Your fellow fans will thank you for your support.

Well at first we had question time and now we have a preview to gorge ourselves on from her, so enjoy the preview below and as last time say thanks for the hard effort she has put in for us today in both the IRC and the preview.

Preview

We have recently had contact with someone who went to the event in london last friday whom has agreed to talk about her time in flashpoint on the IRC and answer any questions that you may have, the discussion can be found here.

If you do enter IRC to ask any questions then can you please not spam or attempt to abuse anyone during your time and follow all of the rules of the IRC chat.

IRC is located here.

Found by danthom a few moments ago is a change by CM to the forums. They have now added a “Picture Album Tab“. I presume this is the work of Satine as she already has a flickr account, and seems to be a person that likes to bridge the gap of Corporation and Community – as noted also by the blog. I don’t know if it’s her or her job. Regardless, Two of the new pictures found are relevant to us.

First found is a Picture of 1st1 - French Community Manager for OFP2 (or at least was, don’t know if still is).

Second is of Sun God Helios working hard – or at the very least staring intensely at a screen. This is how he get’s the big bucks. Look stressed and make it look like your going all out. For all I know he might be reading the fourms or dealing with one of my (Sir. Polaris) ‘Kind IM conversations’. Both is enough to give some one a early retirement.

Show your support to Helios!
That being noted I am sending out a general call for fans of OFP2 to share some love for Helios by filling his photo with random comments and or spam – What ever you do best. Show your love by making him the be dev in the office with the biggest fanbase. It’s the least we can do for all the dedication he gives us.

Make it happen Community Heroes! Post a comment on Helios’ Page. Lets push it to 20 at least.

Posted a few hours ago (5am EST). Helios has announced information from Tim Browne (Lead Designer on OFP: DR) regarding a a list of 5 achievement/trophy names that you’ll be able to attain in OFP: DR. They are:

• Unbloodied Hands
• Tide’s Out
• Keep ‘em Rolling
• Shock and Awe
• Low Blow

As these are only the titles to the achievement. A competition has been created around what you need to do for each particular achievement/trophy.

If you have any guess to what the above are, head over to the source link and make a post. First person to guess a any of the titles correctly, gets a custom avatar. Thats makes five that are going out soon, so don’t delay.

Heres some source code to help you make a clean post.

Shortly after the announcement on Operation Flashpoint’s Twitter page, the new screenshots where published.

Helios also made us aware about an upcoming video, Coming at the 3rd of July called “Fear and Anticipation”

Thanks to Heroes member adireflex for making us aware about the new screenshots. They have been archived in the OFP2 Flickr account and are viewable full size there.

Two new in-game video’s have been released, One is from an German Preview, and one has been captured at the E3.

The [HQ] French E3 Video (Pretty long):

The [HD] German Preview video:

Both video’s came as a bit of a surprise. The First French video shows 5 full minutes of footage. The soldiers also speak with a little accent. In the special build mission, the squad is going to blow up a radar station, on a smaller island near the coast of Skira Island.

Helios also announced the grass detail distance can be changed by the user himself; you can find the announcement here

This review is for the latest update of the OFP2 toolbar,

At first glance the original toolbar was quite plain but it did serve it’s purpose well, now the toolbar has finally been updated with a much better look with small tabs provided by Marxus and Sir. Polaris. On the far left of the page there should be showing Social pgs next to this there is a small dropdown box which then shows you all of the Social services for the flashpoint community.

Also there is a dropdown box on main links which then reveals all of the major community services that the community themselves have provided to the player base of operation flashpoint. The first link on the dropdown menu will provide you with a quick jump system to each main area of the forums and next you will find a group of locations which contain alot of information that can aid you with knowledge about the game itself. (Flickr, mailing system etc…)

The next section contains the community run pages such as OFP2.info and this page, also the last section has a link to the community server thread on the flashpoint forum. Finally much like the previous there is also a bar showing the most recent threads created/commented on in the flashpoint forum which provides you with a easy quick travel system to the most recent threads

If you wish to download the toolbar itself you can find it here.

After months of hard work from Community Heroes like TyroKiller.

The Xbox forums are now Live for OFP2. Take me there.
