Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is the next official stint in the series, although loyal fans are generally dismissive of its status as a contender in the realistic shooter market. Bohemia created and developed Operation Flashpoint, but due to legal issues between the developer and Codemasters (as publisher), the series was disjointed. Or perhaps more shooting at trees.PC shooter games and patience don't generally mix, but fans of semi-realistic games like Operation Flashpoint, America's Army, and the SWAT series will attest that there are a couple of titles out there that make Rainbow Six Vegas look like Unreal Tournament, especially when considering user-created mods.ĪrmA 2 by Bohemia Interactive looks to top the first ArmA, which was the spiritual continuation of the Operation Flashpoint series.
Hopefully this suggests a diversion from the series' shooting-at-trees gameplay, and will introduce not only dragons (to ride on?), but the ability to cast fireballs from the palms of your hands. (It will also apparently be so widescreen you'll need to play it at the local cinema). Fortunately, because we press types live on a higher plane, we procured a copy of the one minute teaser from our Sources, which if it genuinely features in-game graphics (and it's hard to say at this point) then blink, blink, blink - blimey, it's very pretty. You're supposed to force them down our throats, not make us fill in a form declaring our blood type and favourite breed of sheep before we can get access to it. Except of course the moment you try to download it, you're asked to enter your "Code M" details, or register to their special club.Ĭodemasters: IT'S AN ADVERT. There's a new site, and promises of a teaser trailer video for all to enjoy.
(This is only made furtherly confusing by there having been a Bohemia developed Op Flash 2 for Codies in 2003, set in the 1970s, that never was). This is the official sequel developed internally by Codemasters, rather than the unofficial sequel, Armed Assault, from original developers Bohemia. Codies have announced Operation Flashpoint 2's full name: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.
