Codemasters & BIS ...

The Codemasters’ Community Liaison Officer has announced today that they will publish Operation Flashpoint 2, he posted the following text on the Codemasters forum in this thread. However, no official statement has been given by BIS about it.

Operation Flashpoint 2 will be published by us and will not be a dumbed down arcade shooter as many fear. Flashpoint stands for military sim gaming and veering off that track is something we don’t plan on doing. There are indeed many plans for the Flashpoint Community, of which I know you will all be excited by. Alas I can’t say much more yet, so keep your eyes peeled and your ears open…..

So the Question is:

• Has Codemasters hired a new developer (so not BIS) to create OFP2, as they own the legal rights to the name…?
