Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Discussion
I don't think this is a repost. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising hands-on from IGN UK: CLICKY CLIKCY
Sounds brilliant. I really can not wait for this game.
I remember flying the helicopter on the original version was very satisfying; I hope they bring this back and recreate the same realism. By the sound of it this should be a corking game.
Does anyone have any better idea of a release date?

That looks amazing!
For years I've wanted a combat sim with a dgree of realism and where some stealth/strategy/camoflage/skill is more important than button-bashing and running around all-guns-blazing (like COD).
I can't wait to get this.
Have you never tried the original Operation Flashpoint, or ArmA? Awesome games, you could spend half a lifetime lost in those For years I've wanted a combat sim with a dgree of realism and where some stealth/strategy/camoflage/skill is more important than button-bashing and running around all-guns-blazing (like COD).

ArmA 2 will be at least as good as this, I can see myself ending up with both

In the meantime pick up Armed Assault and the Expansion pack which is exactly what you want and is out on budget etc...For years I've wanted a combat sim with a dgree of realism and where some stealth/strategy/camoflage/skill is more important than button-bashing and running around all-guns-blazing (like COD).

But beware.... AA doesnt run on Vista
There are fixes but they arent very good from what I have found (I am running Vista 64 Ultimate for my sins) So I have another disk with XP on to play AA my abiding memory of operation flashpoint is the mission where you get captured, are inside a tent, being guarded and have to escape back to friendly territory.
obviously, because the game is so open ended there are a few ways to do it. I started off trying to do it by waiting until nightfall, sneaking off and trying to navigate by the stars (no map or compass) to my end of the island. This was far too difficult.
In the end I managed to run from the tent, to a Hind helicopter that was sat in the middle of the enemy base, nick it whilst under fire and escape using the chopper strafing the camp on the way out, of course.
great game

That was a great mission. I too waited for dark and then sneaked out of the base. I managed to use the stars to ensure I was going in the right direction. I can remember lying at the edge of a forest in the pitch black as a BMP rolled past with its lights on, hoping I would not be seen. The sounds of enemy vehicles suddenly become more menacing in the dark, especially when you are not sure where they are. It was quite a relief when I finally saw some allied troops at the end.obviously, because the game is so open ended there are a few ways to do it.

One of the missions that got me was the one where you had to escape without any weapons through the woods, dodging soldiers all the time. Very tricky...
Ahh I hated that one! You had choppers over your head all the time.Going to be upgrading the PC for this one the online content looks amasing for the PC

(It would mean I could then buy Company of Heros as I have played this on a friends system and loved it. Current home system can not handle it)
