Presenting tactical, immersive warfare on a scale never seen before in a shooter, the new video demonstrates how Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising takes gamers to the vast 220 km² island of Skira, a rigorously researched and meticulously recreated battlefield, located off the eastern coast of Russia and north of Japan.

On this immense and realistic battlefield, where one bullet can kill, players face the fear and mortality felt by soldiers immersed in deadly modern warfare as they are challenged to survive the rapidly evolving situations of battle.

From intense fire fights through to paced tactical decision making, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising recreates the brutal reality of the modern combat experience with serious attention to the detail of the weapons, equipment and tactics of the armed forces.

In addition to the extensive single player campaign, an in-depth co-op multiplayer component will be featured, enabling squads of four players to work tactically through the intense campaign together.

ABOUT OPERATION FLASHPOINT: DRAGON RISING

Taking gamers as close to war as they’ll ever want to get, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will deliver the total combat experience, challenging players to survive the chaos and rapidly evolving situations of modern warfare in a new contemporary theatre

The 220km2 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 People’s Liberation Army of China (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?

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will give players the freedom to handle military crisis situations on their initiative. Unscripted missions will task players with real objectives, such as laying down suppressing fire, covering a friendly unit’s retreat or conducting short-range recon patrol. Coming this summer for the Xbox 360, the PLAYSTATION3 and Games For Windows, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is in development at Codemasters Studios utilising an evolved variant of its proprietary award-winning EGO Game Technology Engine.

this is one i have been waiting for, for ages, i love the real time coop system they have been talking about, and a more REAL style shooter should be great, the coop sounds like it will be one of the best on any fps so i just hope they can pull it off.

roll on release date

im looking forward to this. loved the first one, i hope the co-op is as good as they say, i remember one of the missons, you and your mates parachute at night behind enemy lines, deploy remote c4 by the roadside to blow up the convoy and then leg it in a lada from the russian bmps

Sounds great, like a bigger version of GRAW. I'd be well up for this.

Thanks for the update Kent. Have some rep.
