Taking gamers as close to war as they'll ever want to get, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is the much anticipated return of the genre-defining military conflict simulator. Set to deliver the total combat experience, Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will challenge players to survive the chaos and rapidly evolving situations of modern warfare in a new contemporary theater.
The 220-square-kilometer island of Skira, located off the eastern coast of Russia, north of Japan, is an oil-rich Russian-controlled island that stands on the brink of war. An airborne division of the PLA lands to claim the island as the sovereign possession of the People’s Republic. Russia turns to the US for support aid and they’re quick to respond. Sending in the USS Iwo Jima, an expeditionary force of US Marines launch an assault on the strung out, but dug-in Chinese force. Can the situation be defused before this flashpoint turns white hot and an all-out global war between the superpowers erupts? Gameplay Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is an open-world tactical shooter designed to realistically represent modern infantry combat. In it players will utilize the game's Quick Command radial menu to dole out commands to their unit. These commands include directives like ordering them to stay put, to follow you, to fire at will or only after your lead, and to assemble into various tactical formations. With a wealth of weapons and vehicles available, engagements can play out very differently depending on tactics and the pros and cons of chosen armaments. The game features set missions as well as quick fight, fire team engagement and several multiplayer modes for varied gameplay. Another prominent and realistic gameplay consideration is its extensive and persistent damage model. This relates both to the environment and the soldiers under player's command in that buildings destroyed, stay destroyed and casualties can be inflicted immediately with a single bullet or develop from wounds not tended to. Key Features Online Support In addition to the extensive single player campaign, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will feature an in-depth multiplayer gameplay options.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is set to deliver the most accessible, engaging and visceral sandbox shooter yet seen and it’s coming in summer 2009 to PlayStation 3. |

Do not assume it's going to be like the other shooters...
I will say this is an amazing fps combat sim. The level of realism is set above and beyond most anything else released. If you are looking for the next thing to top COD-style fast action, this is not what you're looking for. Yes, I like most other people am looking very forward to the Modern Warfare 2 release, but not every fps needs to be compared to it again and again.
This game is very simular to the original Rainbow Six (non-Vegas) or SOCOM from the PS2 era. The combat is slower and tactical based. You command your fireteam with a decent range, but simple to use commands. They include surpressing fire, assault on targets, wepons free, etc. You can also call in various Air and Artillery strikes as part of your attack. So far, missions are straight to the point: covert search and destroy, eliminate all hostiles, clear and secure command posts, etc. But I'm only a couple hours into the game, and have a lot more to explore. The free-roam ability is a very nice touch to the overall gameplay. The outdoor terrain is vast and gives you a lot of options for plans of attack or escape.
Again, the biggest strength of this game is realism. If the following examples do not sound challenging, then this game will not be for you:
-Engaging the enemy at average of 100-400 meters, Sometimes only with iron sights.
-When you take a bullet the screen doesn't just turn red while you wait to respawn health. The impact will stun you if it doesn't kill you.
-You cannot unload your sidearm as fast as you can tap your finger. It does portray the recoil of a .45 and you need precious moments to resight your target.
This game is a great shooter that offers a different style gameplay. The controls are very intuitive and took almost no time to get used to. I have not tried the multiplayer/online game modes, so I have no reviews on that aspect. No, there is no real backstory to your character, you just jump into each mission. No, you will not run and gun your way straight to each objective until you complete the level. Please do your research before dropping $50+ bucks on a game before assuming it was going to be like another game you really, really like.
Pros:
-One of the few tactical-based FPS on the market
-Expansive enviroments seem like a battlefield, you're not locked into a set path
-Realistic damage makes you plan carefully, and more intense when you need to move
Cons:
-Gameplay is not for everyone
-Taking a stray bullet to the chest or head and restarting checkpoints can get frustrating
-Some objectives are governed by unspecified time restraints, resulting in a no-warning mission failure.
Overall:
Rent this game if you're unsure you'd like it. It's not the next Halo or COD, nor was it ever advertised to be. The intesity and accomplishment is multiplied knowing you can't just simply rush point B from point A. One bullet can kill you, three bullets definately will. You will always need to think before your next move. This game is very entertaining if you can plan a mission and adapt/react when it all goes wrong.
Think before you buy this game - and then buy it!
Reading some of the negative reviews and then playing this game I almost wonder if we're dealing with the same piece of software. Yes a few more save points would be nice but apart from that I really feel this game is something close to a masterpiece. No COD MW style scripting where you sit back shooting enemies by the dozen until you cross a magical line on the map and they all of a sudden disappear. In this game if you come across a squad size enemy unit then that's what you're faced with - not an infinite supply of bad-guys appearing at windows. And the tactical situations genuinely require you think things through and come up with a plan - do you try and quickly roll up the defensive position using nearby woods as cover or do a large flanking manoeuvre that will take longer but give you the best chance of success?
Most of the engagements take place in the 100m+ range (as they would in real-life in this sort of open landscape) and so it can be tough to a) see who's shooting at you; and b) be sure you've killed them. Contrary to what some of the reviewers say an enemy cannot take large numbers of hits - generally a couple of 5.56m rounds within 100 metres will do the job, sometimes 3-4 at longer range. Often you can see dust kicking up near the target which might make you think you're scoring hits but you're not - again, this is entirely as you would expect small arms fire to behave at longer ranges, with not all rounds hitting the exact same point.
So in short if you want realism and a game that requires you to think as a junior battlefield commander and offers a level of realism that in my view is completely unprecedented then buy this game. If you want to kill 130 jihadi in your first battle then probably best to look somewhere else.
Not for the regular FPS
Pros:The game is stunning in both realism and look. Tactically and realistically the game is beyond anything else on the market. However, that is often what is the positive to this game
Cons: The game is extremely challenging to someone who is not used to squad based action games
Most of the fire fights take place at great lengths, and it is often unsure if the enemy is actually downed from your fire. Where as your men can be dropped very quickly (you included) the enemy tends to be able to take a great number of shots before being eliminated.
Also, the checkpoints are weak at best. Often you will be stuck in a check point where you are being fired upon, and your whole team is wiped out. Often, you will need to redo the entire mission in order to undo the glitched checkpoint. Missions are extremely long. It maybe an hour or more to go back and restart the entire mission. You will often fail missions with out much warning.
The controls are very glitchy too, being very different from most FPS and little is allowed in the way of changing them,
RENT THIS FIRST. It is not worth buying it outright. Try it out, and see what you think.
