This gaming generation seems to have centred around shooters. Since the release of the bestselling Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare there has been a scramble by designers to top it: Call of Duty: World at War, Killzone 2, Gears of War 2 and Socom: Confrontation; all attempts at bettering Modern Warfare that spring to mind. Each promise a new take on the tired war formula, but never quite deliver.
However, the next new innovation is nearing. Codemasters, the people who brought us the excellent Race Driver: GRID, are back with a new and exiting project: the sequel to the PC exclusive Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis – a sequel which might well bring a whole new type of combat. Aiming for the whole 'really realistic gameplay' idea, hopefully Operation Flashpoint will not be just another game that promises reality but can't actually manage it. The fact that the original was used for US army training suggests that Operation Flashpoint 2 is definitely one to look out for in the future.
I'll leave you with the latest trailer for Operation Flashpoint 2.
