Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a game about a fictitious conflict on one of the Sakhalin islands, a conflict that is in danger of erupting onto a global scale. The player takes the role of a US soldier, part of the allied force fighting against outnumbering Chinese forces vying for control of the island.
The game centers on a campaign narrative that gives the player a variety of roles in the allied forces ranging from a Marine Infantry, tank commander, Special Forces and helicopter captain. The game has an incredible realistic depiction of war with careful attention to the detail of the weapons, equipment and tactics of the armed forces. The action is varied from intense fire fights through to slower pace tactical decision making on how to best tackle the mission objectives.
  • Most accessible, engaging and visceral sandbox shooter - Includes over 100 authentically modeled vehicles and weapons and players will be able to control multi-component vehicles including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, APCs, attack and utility helicopters
  • Freedom of Play - Players will need to balance brute force with intelligent use of tactics with unscripted missions containing real objectives such as covering a friendly unit's retreat or conducting short-range recon patrols

Picture being thrown onto some forgotten island in the Pacific, guts twisted with tension, with one single certainty: lift your head one inch above the grass and you're dead. Welcome to Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. A 2009 game. Let me say that again: two thousand nine. While the rest of the gaming world was busy jerking off to glossy shaders and photorealistic explosions going "boom" like a Transformers trailer, Dragon Rising grabs you by the collar, spits in your face and screams: "This is war. And it sucks." Forget the Call of Duty games where you're a rockstar in kevlar, where every bullet has your name on it and every checkpoint is a warm hug. Here, a single shot kills you. And not in style. No slow-motion death drop, no epic last words. You just… die. The end. Try again. Maybe this time don't go sprinting upright across an open field, genius. This is the one and only rightful heir to the real Operation Flashpoint. The original, the 2001 one, that dumped you in your underwear on an island full of armed Russians and said: "Good luck, soldier." Forget Arma 3, with its aerospace-engineering menus and its armchair-simulator attitude. Dragon Rising is dirty. Brutal. Authe…
