This is going to sound like name dropping, but hey, it was a great day for me.
Late last year I talked to seventh on the phone, discussing VBS1 (or more like he talked about VBS1, and I drooled), and he went on to discuss independance lost (although it wasn't called that back then).
He wouldn't give me details, but he was very excitied about the 'new technologies' that would be incorporated.
I am waiting for independance lost eagerly - I see it is the next 'big game', it will be to OFP what Rouge Spear was to Rainbow Six (not Ghost Recon - that will be the equivilent of OFP 2).
So, don't despair - as OFP gets older, BIS are going to bring us new toys.
It is pointless trying to get information about it also - kinda like banging your head on a brick wall. just wait patiently for the press releases - otherwise you'll get frustrated like I was last year.
So, chill out, drink more beer, and be satisfied in the knowledge that better things are on the horizon.
