Helios 1h ago announced the release of long awaited for Co-Op video will be tomorrow. The Video is expected to drop tomorrow at approximately 2pm BST/9am EST.

As always there will be a video and IRC party for all the fans. 9am is early for North American people (6am PST/7am MST/8am CST/9am EST). However the part will get on shortly as they (and my self) wake up.

Just wanted to give you a heads-up to confirm that the 4 player co-op video I’ve mentioned briefly previously is due out tomorrow at approximately 2pm. For the UK you’ll be able to find the video on Eurogamer, but unfortunately I’m not sure where our other territories are placing the video. Don’t worry though, you’ll all get to see it somewhere no matter where you are

Here are a couple of screengrabs taken from the video footage we recorded for the video, with the images being taken from the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Thanks to all the 110+ people chilling out in IRC for keeping me and other company during the wait.

We all await GameStar.de to hunt him down and kill him – but such is life, so view often and make a backup .

PART #2

Just found by JoeAcorn, is a new preview/interview it looks like from GamesStar TV. I have no idea whats in it as I don’t pay GameStar to watch online videos. If you got a account check it out and let us know what it like (Forums, IRC, Twitter, OFP2.org Comments).

#Update
During the typing of the e-mail and making of this news post Shaz (The media bloodhound and local street dealer) was informed of this video. He is now ‘acquiring it’ and attempting to upload.

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.

As with all releases there will be a IRC party where we will shoot the breeze, talk and get to know each other and perhaps get in a few rounds of OFP1, while we wait on the new information. Everyone works together and like the last few releases – we get the information first, even before the forums have a post. So make sure to show up and meet some people while you wait for information. Sure beats hitting F5 by your self.

Name: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising – Official Release Date Party.
Date: July 17, 2009
Time: 8am to 5pm UK GMT – Ends whenever the release date is given.
Location: #OFP2.Gamesurge.net

Everyone hopes to see you there. Please don’t be shy! Come chat or at the very least sit and watch and help break the record.

Thanks to all who game out to the IRC pre-release party and for Dantom of making me aware of the release, so I could get the word out. Once again allways vist IRC on pre release – group work gets the infomation first!

Once again the OFP2 community is quick on getting the news, before it even been released. Today was supposed to be screens and a preview article. Both have been released ahead of the party schedule of 4pm EST [9pm GMT].

With this light there is no reason for continue with a release party as the release information is already known. There will still be OFP2 related discussion on IRC, just no party today. Below is a summery of the second half of the major media release.

Eurogamer – Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Preview
6 new screens found

This Friday, February 20th 2009 at 9pm GMT [4PM EST]. The last part of the first major OFP2 news release will be released.

There will be a Release Party on #OFP2 Community Chat (IRC) leading up to and trailing after the official release moment.

The above count down timer is for the meaty second part of the news release. Once again don’t miss out by not being on IRC, and check back with Flickr or this website for the screenshots that are bound to be uploaded.

As allways if you can’t make the event, or want all your news delivered to your inbox – as it happens. Make sure to sign up for e-mail alerts. Currently 91 people including 3 members from Codemasters use it. It is a great tool and service and it lets me make sure you don’t miss out.

The UK Snow Storm has cause allot of trouble. One side benefit is that Helios could not get to work today.

Helios is was in IRC from some time early Eastern Standard Time (EST). During which time he was talking and idleing, he left around 1pm EST.

It’s official TrackMaina fever has hit the Operation Flashpoint communtiy. You can now play with a good chunk of the active OFP2 community,
