Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

[vincent1989]

ok, well, this many just be the first game i pre-order then

 

[Zensuji]

Think I might take the week after this comes out off work

Zensuji, any info on the sinlge player co-op side of things? I suppose I could go totheir site, but I am.... well, just lazy really

I have a full years worth of dev comments in my head mate. Think of me as a search engine.

Its 4 player coop and its jump in jump out. So you can be taking on a mission with 3 AI and just invite a mate in to take one position....or 2 or 3

Soulja there wont be any more delays....the 9th of oct is set in stone (it was delayed purely for extra levels of polish). Their marketing campaign will start on monday. It will be CM largest marketing campaign ever in terms of cost.

 

[Soulja]

Good

I'm sure co-op will be immense fun

 

[Zensuji]

Here's some really old footage clips (very old build) that someone put together...quite a good watch.

Nice review, would have killed for some video footage but looks like this will have to do.

You'll have some of the best footage ever shot of the game in a few hours. Devs talking over the game being played on hardcore mode and should be around the 4-5 min mark.

Will post it the second its release.

Oh, is there use of vehicles in the game? As in, d you control tanks and the like, or is it just character control?

There's over 30 vehicles in the game including tanks, boats, jeeps and helicopters. All drivable.

Wow. The guy in the video nodding his head and going "mhm" was really annoying me lol.

Good info though thanks

[Zensuji]

***HARDCORE VIDEO***

HD VERSION BEING UPLOADED AS WE SPEAK

 

[Booner!]

Can't wait to get my hands on one of those black hawks

Snap, my dream was ruined by ARMA 2 as I couldn't fly no matter how hard I tried. It all sounded so cool, until I got in game and managed to crash it with a full team within about 10 seconds of being airborne.

Flying black hawks into a hot zone to collect or drop off a team is so much fun

 

[vincent1989]

i actually want this to be out right now, can't wait

That hardcore vid looks awesome. I'm still sceptical on the playing style.. can't see it being much like OFP1.. but it definitely looks to be a cross-breed of OFP and COD4, which can't be bad.

Your assumptions are correct. That's the basic direction of the game. A hardcore sim at heart but slightly sugar coated and cleaned up for a mainstream market.
