I had discussed this awhile back with the rest of the team and had made mention of it in several posts: OP3 is a continuation of the story that has followed through OP1 and OP2.
Unfortunatly, Dynamix so effectivly introduced various major discrepencies, some of which will OP3 will hopefully clear up (e.g., the launch sequence in the first game in comparison to the intro video in the second).
Also, some ideas that were forgotten in OP2 will probably be added to OP3.
I'm hoping, however, that in the end, OP3 will be an awesome compliment to the first two games. Only time will tell... (thumbsup)
