Feel the fear in the OpFlashpoint sequel

Video: Check out the atmosphere of a night action in Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

Ah, Operation Flashpoint, a game that required real dedication; a serious commitment to learning the art of war from a digital perspective. The sequel, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, looks set to continue that attention to detail, and has coupled it with a striking and modern game engine.

This new trailer features a small unit of American troops engaging in a night-time deployment and biting off a little bit more than they can chew. They withdraw, but not before drawing the attention of both ground and air vehicles, and a mess of Chinese soldiers. 

It features both cinematic style and down-the-sights action, and it's worth checking out.

Hopefully it'll be a little more stable and less buggy than ArmA II. Dragon Rising will be out on all major platforms this southern Spring.

I am looking forward to this. My only concern at this stage is the system requirements and making sure that the control system is as fluid as possible without sacrificing options.

I'm just hoping it's a little more polished than ArmA II!

Agreed OPF was legendary. The graphics and player movement in the video seem a bit dissapointing. With any luck that will be addressed before release.

Do you realise that OFP2 Dragon Rising has nothing whatsoever to do with the original developers of OFP?

Its merely the name that is the same....ARMA 2 is the OFFICIAL sequel in all but name by Bohemia Interactive.

And its awesome!! people go on about bugs but after a 4 hour co-op mission with 5 guys online with Teamspeak I havent had any dramas and it was incredible.
