Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Trailer

[joe]

While I know many of you here took an interest in ARMA II and America's Army 3, the realistic military sim that's most caught my eye is Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Developed by Codemasters (and using the same engine as the Dirt series and Grid), the game looks very impressive in the above trailer, and if I were to ever get involved in a complex tactical shooter this would probably be it.

They have done some interesting new stuff like an Infiltration game mode (PC )that puts 22 v 10 The 10 get better weapons and equipment to keep it balanced. e claim it would take hours to walk accross it.

Translated highlight from Power Unlimited

Thankfully I kept going, even though it was against my instincts. Because that you have to keep alert and can die at anytime, it makes this game way more realistic than those wargames which will let you walk away after being hit. Forget Modern Warfare, that is Hollywood-war. Dragon Rising lets you feel how it is like to operate in a combat situation. The fear of war is constant with you, it takes your breath, I can guarentee you that. The action feels real close all the time, even when there is nothing happening. I felt desolate, and I enjoyed it.

The total panic when a helicopter opens fire on you, the complete feeling of having no change when attacking to soon or to late and getting surrounded. Its gnarly but its how it works.

Puzzle

Dragon Rising made me throw away my Modern Warfare skills and play with my teammates and as real soldiers. Because a squadmember in Dragon Rising is of great value, so you protect them, and they protect you.

Every mission is a tactical puzzle with multiple solutions, which you slowly try to figure out, most of the time by doing nothing else but recon the area. But when the action breaks out and your plan turns out to work, the feeling of victory and euphoria is undescribable. Its why you play the game.
I'm not saying that I wont like Modern Warfare 2 anymore, but Dragon Rising really moved me. You have to bite trough, and then you will have a digital memory which will stay with you forever.
