Operation Flashpoint Confirmed for Summer Release on 360

Codemasters just confirmed that Operation Flashpoint 2 will get 360 and PS3 versions this summer. The game, built on Codemasters’ EGO engine, was previously only announced for PC. The publisher’s gone to town on the multiplay war sim’s underlying tech in a press release this afternoon, saying the game is like nothing seen before.

“The advantage of investing in our own technology is that we can custom-build major engine components specifically suited to each title; such as dynamically lit particle effects for gunfire and explosions, incredible vehicle detail and extensive worlds that you can literally get lost in,” said Brant Nicholas, senior producer.
