Op Flashpoint Sequels Follow-up

VideoGamer.com has a follow-up from Codemasters to complaints made by Bohemia Interactive Studios in February that Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising was being marketed as a sequel to Bohemia's Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, saying the ARMA games are the true continuation of their military shooter series. Codemasters' Clive Lindop tells them that the "2" was not dropped from the Dragon Rising title because of this, and that Bohemia's complaints "didn't really even blip on (their) radar." Here's the part that includes that bit: "Their argument seemed to be almost purely about naming, which of course for a dev team hard at work doesn't really mean a lot. It is Operation Flashpoint. It is all about delivering things that Operation Flashpoint was about. So in actual fact it didn't really even blip on our radar because it seems like such a minor point. I'm sure for the marketing guys it probably meant a lot more and maybe there was a discussion about that, but to be honest when you're doing development you tend to get into the habit of judging a game when it's out and you get it in your hands."
