oh man, well...i have to agree on several points. i'm excited about the new flashpoint...but a lot of things can go wrong. Like its been said, if they go the more accessible route they could really screw the game up. I dont even have to mention how bad deux ex: invisible war was (one type of ammo...are you serious?)
the entire game relied on the gameplay...if you noticed, never once did the same mission play out twice the same way. the graphics for the original are horrible...but, the gameplay was so awsome i just didnt care.
all the game really needed was a graphical face lift...and a few tweeks with the ai (sometimes the game seemed so open ended that you couldnt figure out what to do, or if you had triggered the next action yet).
and im glad to know that blue might be looking forward to flashpoint 2...
