Video:Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising promises truly 'open world modern warfare'.

The original Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis was a relevation to gamers when it was released back in 2001. I remember the launch event fondly, too - a bunch of gaming journalists were trucked out to a Paintball field to play the game, and then take on the PRs and some other folks in a paintball matchup.

Ah, that was a fun day (hint, hint, Atari!).

Now, we're getting just as excited by the upcoming Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, due for release in our Summer.

The game features a full and intense single player campaign, a co-op mode where up to four players can take on the campaign together, and features hyper-accurate weapon and vehicle modelling. The orginal game had excellent ballistics, and we expect even better things from Dragon Rising.

The game will be released on all major platforms (but, really, you'll want this one on PC), and you can keep up to date at the official site.

Behind the scenes with Mass Effect 3! GTX 560 VGA round-up! Essential Skyrim tweaks to improve your game! Plus reviews, news, hardware, more games, and easy to following modding guides for PC builders. ON SALE NOW!

How I cannot wait for this installment and all the oppertunity it will hopefully provide. Nothing like sitting down with mates and a whiteboard, planning the missions before even jumping into the game itself. About as close as one wants to get to modern warfare (excluding all types of skirmish).
Snotty-ASO- Apr 13, 2009 4:36 PM	Why do certain game sites omit that the OFP code is owned by Bohemia Interactive who developed the game. Armed Assualt and ArmA2 which is coming out soon is the follow on if your talking OFP code. Codemasters distibuted OFP for Bohemia and own the OFP name and thats all !! Cash for bullshit lol.
