OF2 vs. MW2: Battle of the Abbreviations

A while back, I speculated that Codemasters was attempting to position Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising as a direct competitor to Modern Warfare 2. I never explained what I meant by that, so let me do so now:

The way I read the media chatter, Codemasters is telling veteran gamers - who would otherwise be inclined to play the next Call of Duty - that they have a broader, deeper, and more mature game to offer. OF2 is intended to be something that's more of a war sim, yet more accessible than ArmA 2, and the creators want to convince the CoD crowd that they're ready for a game like that.

Read this interview at RPS, and tell me if I'm on the right track.
