Operation Flashpoint 2 : Dragon Rising

[ScareCrow]

I didn't know anything about this game until I ran across it on the gamestop website today. Looks incredible. Not the typical run and gun like the COD games. It appears to be focusing alot more on strategy, taking your time, and the big plus.....open world roaming :rockon:

Coming out next week, Oct. 6th

Yeah it looks pretty good. I remember when the first one came out for PC, the graphics seemed amazing back then. This is a totally different game though.

Dragon Rising also features a multiplayer mode. In storyline co-op mode, several human players can play through the singleplayer campaign together, each human player replacing a computer-controlled character. There are also the pure multiplayer modes Annihilation and Infiltration, with more multiplayer modes promised for after the release of the main game.

The multiplayer numbers are 16vs16 on PC and 4vs4 + 3 AI per person on consoles

In co-op mode, human-controlled characters must stay within 275m of each other.

In PvP missions the area of operations is limited to 4 square kilometers.

Sounds like they'll have d/l content later on as well

The more I read about this, the better it sounds

General Features

* Operation Flashpoint 2 gives players the freedom to handle military crisis situations on their initiative. Unscripted missions task players with real objectives, such as laying down covering fire, covering a friendly unit’s retreat or conducting short-range recon patrol. Armed with cutting edge military hardware, players will need to balance brute force with intelligent use of tactics. Once players have completed the campaign, a Mission Editor enables gamers to create their own single player and multiplayer missions
* Players command and control a wide variety of multi-component, multi-weapon vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, APCs, attack and utility helicopters. Fully loaded weapons and individual ammunition types are simulated with detailed ballistic physics, based upon individually-crafted mechanics. The character damage system authentically depicts the terrible wounds and injury from modern weapons to communicate the reality of combat
* Players fight as infantry soldiers in battle, drive tanks in armored assaults, pilot helicopters in air strikes, and infiltrate the enemy in covert special operations utilizing a wide variety of realistic military weapons from knives and rifles to machine guns, grenade launchers and laser designators for air strikes. In whichever role the player chooses, they experience the fierce and brutal reality of warfare and the shock and awe of contemporary firepower unleashed on the arresting scale of modern combat
* Immense play areas of more than 135 square miles give players a multitude of tactical decisions on how to best accomplish missions. Densely packed with environment detail and objects, valleys, mountains, coastlines, towns, villages and industrial complexes all combine to deliver a rich and challenging tactical environment. The world is persistent, so that buildings destroyed in one campaign mission will be destroyed in the next
* Operation Flashpoint 2 models the environment, objects and people in realistic detail, but its visual styling will embrace documentary techniques. The camera work through cut-scenes is heavily influenced by television war reports that are often shot under extreme circumstances delivering a unique look with incorrect exposure, severe camera shake and loss of focus

Damn that does sound sweet. To team up and go through the game online sounds like a really cool feature.

May have missed it, but whens the release date?
