ESPN analyst: Brian Hoyer's promotion says more about John Skelton
While Arizona's game against the San Francisco 49ers will be Hoyer's first professional start, one ESPN analyst believes the move says less about the former Michigan State standout and more about John Skelton, the Cardinals' Week 1 starter.
"I guess [the decision to start Hoyer] tells you how bad they must think of John Skelton," ESPN analyst John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Thursday. "What has happened to John Skelton?
"He was good enough to beat out Kevin Kolb for the starting job, now he is in nowhere land."
Skelton has not played since Arizona's historic 58-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. In that contest, Skelton was abysmal, throwing four interceptions on 22 attempts in the first half. It didn't help matters that the former fifth-round pick also lost a costly fumble.
In seven games this season, Skelton threw for 1,132 yards to go along with two touchdowns and nine interceptions. Skelton largely entered the 2012 season as the starting quarterback after leading Arizona to four wins in its final five games a year ago.
He was inactive for the team's game against the Chicago Bears in Week 16, signaling just how far he's fallen out of favor with Ken Whisenhunt.
While colleague Ron Jaworski raved about Hoyer's potential as an NFL starter, Clayton thinks the move will be a temporary one for the Cardinals.
Listen: John Clayton, ESPN NFL insider John Clayton joined us today to discuss Brian Hoyer getting the start this week for the Cardinals and if there will be some big changes for the Cards during the off-season.
"I think he was an efficient backup quarterback, one who can do some good things," said Clayton. "On a one-game basis it's okay, but look at the team he is facing [in San Francisco].
Hoyer, who comes into Sunday's game with 62 career pass attempts to his name, will face the 49ers' No. 4 ranked passing defense. The unit has already beaten Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Matt Stafford in 2012.

During these trying times, we often think about the people and businesses that have been affected by the slowdown in our economy. Churches are not exempt from the crisis, either.
Just about every church is feeling the downward trend in giving from their parishioners and members.
What can and should a church do? Several steps should be considered:
Establish a realistic operating budget and follow it. The foundation for your operating budget should be the previous year's actual expenses and the expected revenue for the current year.
The expected revenue is a reflection of the economic trends. How does the percentage decrease compare to the previous year? This percent may change several times throughout the year, requiring the budget to be evaluated and adjusted each time. The accounting system should reflect the actual dollars spent against the budgeted amount to be spent and show either positive or negative variances. This allows the church to monitor and control the expenses.
Evaluate the mortgage or lease. Can the mortgage be refinanced, either by a longer period or lower interest rate? Or if the church is renting a permanent facility, can the lease agreement be amended? Because building expenses are such a large portion of the budget, any change could be significant.
Constantly educate and inform the members. Most church leaders do not like talking about church finances because they feel they are invading territories they should not. However, if the church is being responsive to the needs of its members and the economic conditions, most church members recognize that their church is experiencing the same hardships and in some cases are willing to stretch their budget to help a little more with the church.
Create an opportunity for members to give from their abundance. Establish a "pay-off the mortgage fund" or an "Emergency fund" whereby members can give extra monies for a specific purpose, to help pay off the mortgage or for an emergency fund to be used by the church.
Examine the invoices being paid by the church. Is Florida sales tax included on the invoice? The church is exempt from all sales taxes. This includes sales taxes on such items as electrical power, all supplies, rental equipment (copiers) and telephones. By the way, any sales tax paid in error can be refunded to the church.
Evaluate the insurance needs, both property and group health. There is a multitude of group-health insurance programs available in today's market. Group-health insurance companies are being aggressive, and if the church has not recently requested quotes on the health-insurance program, there is probably a savings that could be enjoyed. The same with property insurance.
Does the church have employees or leased employees? Many churches have switched from an employer to leasing their employees. The church still maintains control of the position but no longer must prepare weekly payrolls, make payroll tax deposits and prepare monthly, quarterly or annual tax returns. The difference in costs, a payroll fee versus a full-time or part-time payroll clerk, could be substantial. Plus, headaches are eliminated with all the deposit requirements and preparing and filing the returns.
Evaluate the ministries of the church. The number of church members, in each individual church, who are hurting financially, has increased to portions not seen in years. Part of the evaluation process that churches are presently undertaking should include their ministries.
Most of all, the church most be viewed, by their members, as being responsible with all the funds that are being given.

Agriculture and Fishing
Agriculture and Fishing Jobs
Agriculture and Fishing Employment Information
Agriculture and Fishing Industry Overview
Looking for an outdoor job that offers physical challenge, self-employment and seasonal work? An agriculture job or fishing job might be right for you.
Jobs in agriculture involve more than raising and harvesting crops or herding livestock. Farm workers also need business skills to sell their livestock or crops and to record, report and pay taxes. They also need mechanical skills to run and repair agricultural machinery.
Fishing work appeals to those who like locating, catching and processing fish. Despite assistance from fishing machinery and modern technology such as GPSes, radar and sonar, jobs in fishing are strenuous, hazardous and in some cases, seasonal. To get a fishing job you need to be physically strong, flexible and coordinated.
Agriculture Job Types
Farmers and ranchers working on their own farms often do everything themselves, while farming jobs on corporate farms are broken down by specialty.
Agricultural managers operate farms or ranches owned by others and manage the farm workers and ranch hands who do the day-to-day work.
Crop farmers' and crop managers' careers revolve around the production, harvest, packaging, storage and sale of crops.
Livestock ranchers, dairy farmers and poultry farmers raise animals, which includes feeding, housing, breeding and selling.
Horticultural specialty farmers create careers in an agricultural niche such as turf grass, vineyards or nuts.
Aquaculture jobs combine farming and fishing. Fish and shellfish farmers grow seafood to sell or run recreational fishing operations.
Fishing Job Types
When you take a fishing job on a big boat, be prepared to stay at sea for extended periods. On the largest boats, on-board seafood processing creates other fishing work opportunities.
Shallow-water fishing jobs are on smaller boats that stay close to shore and are operated by one or two fishermen using nets or pots to catch shrimp, crab, lobsters, oysters or scallops.
The entry-level position in a fishing career is deckhand, followed by boatswain, second mate, first mate and captain.
Agriculture Education and Certification
In the past, most farmers learned agriculture work on the family farm. Today, an agribusiness degree with courses in business, agronomy, plant disease or (for ranchers) veterinary science will boost your chances of having a successful agriculture career.
The American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers awards the Accredited Farm Manager (AFM) designation to members who demonstrate business and agricultural job skills.
Fishing Education and Certification
A high school vocational degree in fishing or community-college coursework in seamanship, vessel operations, marine safety, navigation, vessel repair or fishing technology repair will improve your chances of landing entry-level fishing employment.
To work on the largest boats, you may need a Merchant Mariner's Credential (MMC) from the US Coast Guard. Boat captains need a license.
Agriculture Job Market
The competition from large, well-capitalized, efficient commercial farms and ranches is driving family farmers out of business, but also creating more jobs for agricultural and ranch managers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that employment in agriculture will decline by 3 percent from 2010 to 2020.
Fishing Job Market
Currently, about 32,000 Americans earn their living from fishing work, but between 2010 and 2020, about 6 percent of those fishing jobs will disappear as equipment makes fishing more efficient and governments impose fishing limits, the BLS says.
Agriculture Salaries
Farmers' and ranchers' salaries are highly dependent on the size of the operation. Most small family farmers have another job. Overall, farmers', ranchers' and agricultural managers' median salary was $64,660 in 2011, the BLS reports. The lowest-earning 10 percent made less than $32,000 and the best-earning 10 percent made more than $112,000.
Fishing Salaries
The median pay for a fishing job was $27,000 in 2011, the BLS says. The lowest-paid 10 percent made less than $21,000 and the highest-paid 10 percent earned more than $42,000, the BLS says.

After taking time off from a stellar basketball season, Ben Linnell returned to the Paonia track team in time to win the triple jump at Saturday's Cedaredge Invitational. The junior jumper cleared 40-6.25 to set a new personal record and win the event by a mere quarter of an inch over Chris Black of Delta.
Linnell also set a personal record in the high jump, clearing 5-10 to place fifth.
Linnell was the only Paonia athlete to claim a gold Saturday. Paonia scored 30 points to place seventh in team competition.
The 800-meter sprint medley consists of two 100-meter legs, a 200-meter, and an anchor leg of 400 meters. While it's only recognized in the state as a girls' event, it is offered to boys' teams in a handful of meets throughout the season.
On Saturday, 12 male teams competed in the medley relay, including Paonia.
The team of 100-meter runners William Austin and Austin Katzer, 200-meter runner Taylor Walters and anchor 400m runner Cameron Van Vleet finished fourth with a time of 1:50.82.
The 800m relay team of Austin, Josiah Spano, Van Vleet and Walters placed fifth.
In individual track events, Jason Sturgis placed eighth with a time of 5:02 in the 1600m, and Austin was seventh in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 44.2.
Paonia is at Stocker Stadium this Saturday.

Stealing the OP from NUgget Bridge Welcome to the Victory RoAd, where after obtaining your 8 (16?) badges will you meet probably the best trainers from different generations gathered here. As we all know, past generations do not have an active ladder, and this can be a platform to showcase your skills and battle against well-known veteran players! This is also where the different generations meet. If you've never played some of the past generations of Pokemon, now would probably be a good time to pick them up ^_^ How this works There are four people you have to beat before you can finally conquer the Victory RoAd and the tiers and gens will change with each round You do NOT have to defeat them in any particular order; this is to give you time and flexibility to pick up whichever gen you wish if you have not You win by beating all four trainers in Victory RoAd! There is no singular winner. Being able to beat four veteran players is an impressive feat! Especially so when they're all in different generations!

lost to worms on a last turn crit gg http://pokemon.aesoft.org/replay-Earthworm-vs-BKC--2012-07-18-private1386056469
The last version of PO (just download it again and install) it's good for playing GSC because it have less bugs than Netbattle. Reflect and Pursuit are kinda bugged in supremacy.
Both GSC sims are functional for the most part, and NBS can be used if you prefer it for the interface or feel of it. But like Tiba said, GSC on NBS is definitely buggier than on PO at this point. Pursuit bugs in NBS are especially destructive and relevant.
Confirming I beat BKC sandshrewz MarceloDK Floppy and lost to dragonuser ggs edit: also beat Stone_Cold davidness Eo Ut Mortus Pocket Folgorio fatty
This is updated! ^_^ Woah DPP seems to be very popular and Earthworm is certainly denying a lot of people .___________. (let's beat him on a rematch >.>) RBY, GSC, and ADV could use a bit more love :) Also, gene you can choose whichever simulator you want to use I guess... As long as both party agree not to trigger / abuse any known bug. PO can save logs too >.> Talking about logs, go ahead and share logs here if your opponent doesn't mind and you think it was a good match whether or not you won ^_^ dragonuser and Heist please show us the way to beat Earthworm u_u xD oh and I forgot to mention in the OP >.> This round / challenge will last till approximately 1 month :) Thanks for participating! ^_^
I want to try playing Hipmonlee in RBY, but that would literally be my first RBY game, and I would undoubtedly get slaughtered. I'll make a Gen IV team again by this weekend to challenge EW.

Larsen's perfect game uniform sold for $756,000
Thursday - 12/6/2012, 4:10pm  ET
NEW YORK (AP) -- The uniform Don Larsen was wearing when he pitched the only perfect game in World Series history has sold for $756,000.
The former New York Yankees' right-hander achieved perfection in Game 5 of the 1956 Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The pinstriped uniform with No. 18 on the back received 22 bids in an online auction on Steinersports.com. The winning bidder was Pete Seigel, CEO of GottaHaveIt.com. His company has been building a collection of Yankees memorabilia that it plans to put on display.
The price includes a 20 percent buyer's fee above the final bid of $630,000.
Larsen said he was auctioning off the uniform to pay for his grandchildren's education.
Steiner Sports had predicted the uniform could sell for as much as $2 million.

'The Gruffalo' is a wonderful children's book by writer and playwright Julia Donaldson.
It tells the story of a mouse taking a walk through a deep, dark wood.
Written for children aged from three to seven, it is funny and full of suspense.
It's not only adored by kids but adults love it too, making it the perfect bedtime story.
The book has won several prizes for children's literature and celebrates its 13th anniversary this year.
The story is based on a traditional Chinese folk tale of a fox that borrows the terror of a tiger. Donaldson was unable to think of rhymes for "tiger" so invented one for "know" instead and so the Gruffalo was born!
Some children will never see the Gruffalo. But you can bring him to life in their imagination.
For most children, reading is a magical experience. Blind and partially sighted children, like Ruth, aren't so lucky as only seven per cent of books published each year make it into accessible formats they can read.
We offer support to people of all ages and RNIB Talking Books bring the joy of the written word to those who can't read normal books for themselves.
Please donate today - you could give the magic of Talking Books to blind and partially sighted children.
The Gruffalo's Child, Text Copyright © Julia Donaldson 2004. Illustrations Copyright © Axel Scheffler 2004. Published by Macmillan Children's Books, a division of Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

We have been to Del Posto many
times in the past, but not for about two years. As terrific a restaurant as it was, it seems to have gotten even better. The space is magnificent, unmatched in NYC. Service is impeccable and the food is at an all time great level. Of course, the wine list is quite extensive but the staff is extremely helpful and will find something for everybody. Will be returning very soon."

Took an important client to Del
Posto for lunch. The food was outstanding, the service a tiny bit slow to get the menu's and check, but really wonderful food, ambience, and decor. The price was fantastic for such a high end place. Totally blew my client away!"

I really wanted to give 5 full
stars, the food was amazing and the service impeccable, but the price.. oh man the price... portions are smaller but just right and we left after enjoying the 5 course dinner VERY full to the point where we couldn't enjoy the desserts as much as we would have liked... the service was top notch, the waiter realized quickly we were a fun loving sarcastic group and played right along and into the conversations... it was an overall great experience... but the pricing is, sadly, a little obnoxious..."

Have not been to Del Posto in a
few years. Wow, we had the seven course tasing menu, one of the best dining experiences of my life. The bill is not for the faint of heart however; great expense account restaurtant!"
Dined on 3/4/2014
This was my second time at DP. The
first time was truly amazing. However this time not so good. We had the 8 course pre fix (and yes we knew what to expect..price, small potions, ect.). The food was absolutly horrible. The wait staff acted as if someone had just died. I know restuarants and wait staffs have off nights but when you pay $2,000.00 for supper it should always be great. DP went from my top five best ever to the bottom. Will never go back. There are many great Italian places to eat in New York for 1/3 the cost."

We loved this place the first time
we went. It was even better on this visit. We ended up sitting in a quieter corner of the place. The piano music was at a perfect sound level. Loud enough to hear, but not at all in intrusive. Why some restaurants feel the need to play recorded music at loud levels is not clear to me. Here, we were able to have a conversation at a normal level. Now the food. Wow. we ordered the tasting menu - an appetizer, two different pastas, a main course, and a dessert. Incredible. This place has to rate among the top 5 in NYC. Service was incredible. Polite, unintrusive, professional. Some of the best food we've had in NY in quite some time. Highly recommended"

The decor, service, food, wines,
bar, everything was unequivocally magnificent. As a family we enjoyed the 7 course tasting menu paired with the wines, every dish and wine were incredible. Our Captain adjusted to our family's gastrointestinal challenges and navigated us through the entire dinner illuminating each nuance for each course, how it was prepared and why it was being paired with the particular wine. Each course was perfectly prepared, presented and was clearly orchestrated to transition from the previous course and flow into the next. Our new special occasion celebration restaurant, loved by all members of our family regardless of age."

From start to finish, this dining
experience was absolutely perfect. From the immediate introduction from out waiter(s), to our cocktails, the complimentary tasting of dehydrated pasta, to the presenation of our appetizers (delicious lobster salad), the ther rest of the meal. The presentaion was fabulous and the food exceeded our expectations, something like on a top end cooking show. It was the perfect place for a special occasion and would recommend it to all...although you may leave with a slightly lighter wallet."

Great food, wonderful, attentive
service. Elegant dining. One dish better than the next."
Dined on 2/22/2014
What a wonderful experience! We
had a very early reservation as we were going to theater. From the initial greeting, the staff exhibited a friendly, yet professional, demeanor. They were also very knowledgeable. The sommelier recommended a wonderful wine and, without asking, it did not break the bank and still was perfect. Sorry that I cannot describe in detail but everything but the veal (over salted) was ethereal. I did not say anything until we had paid the bill. I did want to inform the manager. As I mentioned, we were off to theater. I have no doubt they would have corrected the dish if I had said something. And all things considered, the restaurant deserves 5 stars. What a beautiful space, gossamer pasta and delicious cocktails!"

Celebrated my sister's birthday.

Service at Del Posto was
impeccable. It is truly an amazing experience. The food was hit or miss for us. There were four of us and we all sampled each others meals. Appetizers and meals were amazing or average - about 50/50 for us. Pasta courses were excellent. Overall really good meal, but i would have expected everything to taste phenomenal. That said, i would probably go back again."

After eating at the best
restaurants in NYC, I can honestly say that Del Posto is the one that I look forward to the most. The staff is top-notch, the restaurant is beautiful and the food is luxurious. The overall product is perfect and delivered with no sign of pretension. Beginning with the amuse-bouche and ending with the gift box of treats, everything about Del Posto is perfect. The Garganelli Verdi al Ragu Bolognese is quite possibly the best thing I have ever eaten!"
Dined on 12/30/2013
Del Posto is a dining experience
like no other. With culinary masterminds divinely collaborating an exquisite array of mind blowing dishes, my husband and I cannot wait to return. We loved the Lobster Salad and Beef Carpaccio appetizers followed by the Salmon and Orrechiette entrees. The staff was very attentive, courteous and extremeley educated on all the items. The restaurant is gorgeous and although large retains its romantic appeal. We were genuinely welcomed by all from our first moment through the door. Thank you for a beautiful evening."
Dined on 2/16/2014
The food and service were
fabulous, each dish meticulously prepared and presented. But I didn't realize that the wines that were recommended to pair with our choices by the sommelier were $30 per glass, and would have liked to have that information before we made our decisions. As it turned out, we would have been better off choosing a suitable bottle of wine and paid less than the $150 that we ended up paying for the wine, especially when considering the prix fixe was $39 per person."
Dined on 2/17/2014
I was expecting the meal itself to
be the highlight of the night, and it was. But just as unforgettable was the level of service of the hosts, wait staff, sommeliers, etc."

It was exquisite from the live,

My own personal favorite of the
Holy Trinity is Del Posto, a perfect venue for a cold winter night's repast, beautifully appointed interior, exquisitely lit with candles and indirect lighting, spacious and intimate at the same time. The 5 course tasting menu was our supper on Sunday night: appetizer of Vitello Tonnato, creamy and rich, ( and perfectly paired with pink champagne) Agnolotti, creamy and rich, layered lasagna, creamy and rich and the entrée: slices of pink duck , roasted with the thinnest layer of fat in a deep meaty jus! Dessert was the thinnest layer of eggplant with a rich chocolate sauce, its succulence cut by a perfect shiny egg of ice cream! Did I say creamy and rich? Superb service. Thank God for the Italians!"

Truly sublime. Ranks as one of the
great dining experiences of my life, together with Le Bernadin and Steirereck (a Michelin 3 star in Vienna)."

My wife and I were very
disappointed at this B&B star. We have eaten at many of the groups resturants in from NYC to Vegas to LA. Del Posto is over priced food and nothing special. Save your money and find another resturant."

A beautiful evening of incredible
food and the most wonderful service. Also, I am gluten free and I was so impressed with how beautifully the restaurant took care of my food preparation. Delicious gluten free pasta (my friend who is not gluten free) could not tell the difference! We were celebrating a special occasion and the restaurant couldn't do enough to make it memorable! Bravo Del Posto and thank you!!!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
My boyfriend and I decided to
splurge and come here for our anniversary. I am so glad we did! I wrote on our OpenTable reservation that it was our anniversary and they pulled out all the stops. They put us at the best table in the house, gave us free amazing appetizers (black truffles!) and a free dessert sampling. Every single thing we had on the menu, from the octopus to the pumpkin capellaci to the steak, was spectacular! The restaurant itself is very romantic and beautiful--a real classic. I will definitely be coming back for my next special occasion!"

Federal authorities say a Mexican woman is in custody for allegedly trying to smuggle more than 26 pounds of cocaine into southern Arizona.
The drugs were seized Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Dennis DeConcini port of entry in Nogales.
CBP officers referred 21-year-old Lilia Guadalupe Martinie-Munoz of Nogales, Sonora, for further inspection of her sedan.
After a narcotics detection canine alerted officers to the presence of drugs, they reported finding 10 packages of cocaine in the trunk of the vehicle.
Authorities say cocaine has a street value of about $237,000.
CBP officials say the drugs and vehicle were processed for seizure. They say Martinie-Munoz was arrested and faces prosecution on drug charges.

This sequel to Codemasters' popular Cold War-themed shooter will take place in a modern setting in which tensions are high between China and Russia. |
We get a glimpse of the future of this long-awaited sequel to a great first-person shooter. At E3 2008, we just received a demo of the upcoming first-person shooter, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising. If you've been following this game, you already know that it will depict a conflict between the United States and China on a fictional island in the Pacific Ocean. And if you know anything about Operation Flashpoint at all, you can bet that it'll be an extremely realistic take on wide-open militaristic combat. But you probably don't know that the game will feature 70 highly detailed, realistic weapons, and 50 equally detailed vehicles on an island that's 130 square miles of highly dynamic terrain. You also probably weren't aware that if you went online, you'd be able to play eight-player coop with friends, or 32-player matches against them. And the best part is that even in an online match, you'll still have non-player character squadmates to command and fight alongside of. When the game launches in 2009 for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, it's possible that you'll enter a 32-player match with 256 combatants (between real players and their NPC minions). But how will the game look? After all, no one has actually seen it in action. Instead of showing us gameplay, Codemasters showed us a "previsualization" of what the game is intended to look like at launch. From what we saw, they have their sights set on the best graphics seen yet in a first-person shooter. We witnessed an amazing, photorealistic air strike on some tanks that were rumbling along a hillside. Maybe Operation Flashpoint 2 will look like the best thing ever, and maybe it won't. But Codemasters' model for graphical success is extremely promising. And like everything else about Operation Flashpoint 2, it's unbelievably realistic and ambitious. A big part of this ambitious realism is the island itself. The island is called Shira Island, and it's a real place in a real island chain. However, it's been transplanted into an area north of Japan that was recently discovered to contain large amounts of petroleum, which makes it the perfect setting for an international conflict between the United States and China. Now, you won't be able to actually blow up or off pieces of the island with your giant bombs and dangerous guns. Instead, the developers will populate the island with all sorts of trees and structures for you to blow up instead. After reading all of this, you probably know that there's still a lot that you don't know about Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising. But there is good reason to hope that this will be one of the best-looking and best-playing shooters on the market in 2009. When we know more, you will too. |
It has taken seven long years, but a sequel to Operation Flashpoint is finally coming together. We got a look at the game ahead of its Leipzig unveiling. It's hard to believe that the original Operation Flashpoint was released all the way back in 2001. Despite its age, Bohemia's game is still revered by hardcore shooter fans and military buffs alike, who continue to play it to this day. While development of the sequel has switched from Bohemia to an in-house team at Codemasters, the new team seems determined to continue the predecessor's attention to detail and eye for realism. We were some of the first people in the world to see OP2 in action ahead of its showing at the Leipzig Games Convention. Our visit to Codemasters was comprehensive to say the least, and we were given access to the people behind the art, vehicles, weapons, and characters in the game. So much information was poured into our brains that it's difficult to know where to start. The game's setting is probably as good a place as any. This time the game takes place on a small island called Skira in the Pacific Ocean. The land is being disputed by China, Japan, and Russia, and as a member of the US military drafted in to help Russia, you must help repel some of the Chinese forces. The campaign starts on the west side of Skira, and you'll be pushing onto the beach and moving east to take the offensive on some of the invading forces. The island was built up using NASA satellite imagery, and this data was then fed into a modelling program to add more environmentally interesting details. One of the major points for Codemasters is making the terrain more varied than in the first game, both for visual and tactical purposes. There will be 220 square kilometers of area to explore, and the settings will vary from beaches to small towns and even volcanoes on the east side of the island. As we'd hoped, Operation Flashpoint 2 is as scarily realistic as its predecessor. The damage system is incredibly realistic and modelled on each individual bullet, so even if you're only shot in the arm, it will be enough to send you into shock unless you haul yourself to a medic. With such a high level of realism, we were concerned about the difficulty and how the developers would make the game accessible, especially to a console audience. The key, they say, is in the squadmate AI, which will mostly take care of itself even if you march your squad into danger. On the PC the command system will be keyboard-based, but on consoles there will be a radial system. This means you'll be able to make quick commands by holding one of the shoulder buttons and using an analogue stick to direct your squad. Not only is the game looking realistic, but it's also incredibly comprehensive at this stage. There are more than 70 weapons planned, each with realistic ballistic systems, and there will be 30 usable vehicles for the road, sea, and air. These vehicles will be incredibly realistic; for instance, certain tanks will have a limited viewing window. This is something that the developers say will completely change the way shooter fans approach vehicles. Rather than the conventional thinking that you're safer in a vehicle, in Flashpoint you'll be more vulnerable to attack. This means that in Codemasters' game, it's the soldiers who escort the vehicles because of their increased visibility. The team says that its overriding wish for the game is to bring you closer than you ever really want to get to war itself. The single-player campaign will feature a career advancement system, in which you'll go through the ranks from foot soldier to commander as you progress. There will be specific missions centered around stealth and the use of a sniper rifle, which sounds especially neat since the sniper rifle can actually take out individual passengers in a vehicle. The game will also feature an extensive and persistent damage model so that the buildings you destroy in one mission will stay destroyed upon your return. If you don't want to play through the 20 missions in the campaign, you can jump into the quick fight or fire team engagement modes, which will present you with quick situations to play through. Because technology has advanced light-years since the first Operation Flashpoint, the multiplayer mode is pretty much a brand-new proposition for fans. The multiplayer support will differ slightly between consoles and the PC, with the home computer having a slight edge in terms of player support. The story mode will be playable in co-op by up to four people on the PC and two people on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network, while the competitive multiplayer modes will feature 32 players on the PC and eight on consoles. There will be three different multiplayer game types in the finished game--annihilation, which is a straight-up deathmatch; frontline, which is a team-based game for control of the map; and infiltration, which sounds like a more elaborate take on multiplayer shooting. Basically, one team will form a large but not well-equipped team that has to defend a base while the better-equipped but smaller special forces team tries to take over. The last part of the equation is the mission editor, which we're happy to report makes a return in the sequel. We got to see only the PC version of the editor, but it looks like you will be able to make use of a lot of the same tools as the developers of the game. You'll be able to drag and drop units, objects, and routines and jump straight into the world to play out your missions. We're told that the console versions might not be quite so feature-heavy or easy to use, but the developers are planning to incorporate all the features they can. We liked what we saw of Operation Flashpoint 2, from the changing day-and-night cycles to the dynamic weather effects. The demo was literally being polished up for the Leipzig convention as we saw it, the final result of which will be on the Codemasters stand from today. The game is still in the pre-alpha stage, but we can expect to see more before it's released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2009. |
