Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising DLC only 'weeks' away

It's nothing like Operation Flashpoint 1, which was a realistic war simulation.

It's basically more like Ghost Recon... so whether you'd like it or not depends on your interest in that kind of game, rather than OPF1.

It's interesting that all the newbie console gamers think it's too hard and they're getting shot from 200m.

Yet all the original Operation Flashpoint players think it's dumbed down, unrealistic and limited.

Seems like by trying to please both groups they actually pleased no-one.

Unfortunately the 64-brush limit means it's never gonna get modded up to much. Can't say i know what they were thinking with that.

A game that was just released a week ago already has DLC in a couple of weeks (which of course won't be free even though it has a lot of problems)? I'm shocked...

I liked it. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent game that's different then most of the other FPS shooters out there, and thankfully it's not set in WWII. But I do have gripes with it, Multiplayer is laggy as all heck when/if you manage to connect to the piss poor servers. Graphic glitches. Seems to be a problem witht he saves, if you don't follow the waypoints the autosave doesn't kick in. Had to redo 4 missions because I took the objectives my way as opposed to how the game wanted... You know, like one might actually do in the field. AI can be Stephen Hawking smart or Homer Simpson retarded at times, depending on what you want them to do

They did do Co-Op well and I've been having a blast with that and 2 friends (Again when we manage to connect) and I enjoy the bullet drop and leading required for the longer range shots (now all we need is wind too lol)

Overall, decent game. Pissed that I didn't wait for the price drop on it though.

I honestly think you are full of ****.

1. I lag more on OFPDR more than any other game on my xbox. In fact, its the ONLY game I experience REGULAR lag on while playing over xbox live.

2. only a sample of the issues I have experienced with OFP so far:

1.Enemies in MP take 3-4 headshots to die

2. Vehicle physics are a JOKE. (hit a rock and bounce 15 feet backwards, turn at more than 30 mph and flip over every time.

3. floating bodies

4. invisible guns

5.HORRIBLE friendly AI (constantly getting stuck and they do not respond to my orders at least 50% of the time.)

6. poor enemy AI

7. HUD disappears and reappears randomly

8. constant disconnections and lag on MP

9. to put it simply, MP just ISNT FUN compared to OFP1. Especially with no mission editor on consoles

10. CM advertised 60+ weapons, when really there is only 20 or so, just with different scopes on each.

11. Where the hell are all the vehicles?

12. NO FREE ROAM, (god that pisses me off) even though CM advertised free roam on OFP2 over and over again.

Also, I am not an arma fanboy, having never played Arma 1 or 2. (my computer cant handle it). so dont go blindly calling people ARMA fanboys because they think this game is bad.

Hell, my comp can barely even handle OFP1 with max settings

the main reason why I am so pissed over this is because CODEMASTERS completely stole the OFP name from bohemia and then ruined the franchise, releasing a buggy, unfinished, piece of sh*t game. I do plan to buy ARMA2 asap once I get a new comp, which should be really soon.

So basically in a nutshell:

OFPDR is trash. Codemasters has royally pissed me off and I will never buy another CM product again.


If you have experienced ZERO issues with the game, I HIGHLY DOUBT you have ever played it. So GTFO.
