Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

By: Joshua

This is a military based game. It focuses on the battlefield lifestyle of a United States Marine. The game uses real Marine tatics and terms, along with weapons currently used by the Marne Corp. The graphics are very good, it has somewhat an old school war haze lighting. Weapon functions and abilities are very similer to the real ones. Bullets drop after a paticular distance and when useing the sniper rifle you are required to elevate the weapon to make further shots. Being in the Marine Corp and learning the terms and weapon use I can say that this game hits the nail on the head. The game is a single player, first person shooter. You can go online and play PvP or Co-Op campaign. The online play is pretty good PvP is challenging and Co-Op makes this game much more complicated and at the same time easier due to the complication of comunicating with the other players and also other players have different styles of playing and easier because the AI are a bit slower to react and not as accurate or intellagent no surprise. So having another real person is a plus when you both are on the same page. All in all I would give the game 9/10 because no game is perfect. I like the realism of the tatics and weapons, the graphics are good for a service based game. To many people play that Army's soldier game and assume this game will be the same, but it is far better than that sad excuse for a game. I recommend this game to anyone looking for a solid realistic military game and to any Marine fanatics out there.
