This is an upcoming FPS multiplatformer for the Xbox360/PS3/PC due for release sometime in '09.

According to the Famitsu article, in the campaign mode US and Russian forces will join up in the not too distant future to take down the Chinese in a war waged over the control of precious resources.  Operation Flashpoint will feature sanbox gameplay on Skira island (actual place located north of Japan) on a map that is 220 sq kilometers. The player will have the freedom to alternate between several different battle units and thus choose objectives while proceeding through the campaign in their own way. This game is intended to be highly realistic and features 50 types of vehicles and 70 types of real life weapons. Incredible!

Those shots look reeaally good!

Wow, very impressive textures!

no offense, but it looks the same as tons of other FPS. exactly the same, nothing is unique....

graphics wise, not bad

^^What you talking about?  You ever played the original Flashpoint for the PC.  One of the most realistic FPS wargames ever. For example you can choose different bullets for your guns.  You can outfit your vehicles.  And when you use a bazooka, its a ont time shot.

This game will only build on that.

When Flashpoint first hit the PC, it made one feel like they were on the modern battlefield like no other game.  If Flashpoint lives up to ths, it will prove to be a great new entry to compete against COD4:MW.  Flashpoint, if like the earlier PC version, should promise to provide strategic and tactical depth.

Exactly.  This is the next big realistic FPS everyone is waiting for.  It will be a big success once people start to realize what a great series this game is a part of.  Its only because the original was a PC release that many gamers dont know of Flashpoint.　That will all change with this game.

oh, wow. I played the original and all of its addOn and always thought they were totally awesome.

Especially Resistance. (being the leader of a fragile rebel 'army' was rad)

I really hope the new Flashpoint will feature the same strategic/tactical depth ! Oh, and they shouldn't forget the level editor.

you can find a trailer at youtube. The first screens are rendered. Don't know about the other ones.

But OF was fun, so I am looking forward to this.
