Your enemy are mostly motherfuckers and you and your squad aren't worth squat. Instead of formal orders over radio you've got a constantly foul mouthed superior showering you with army clichés.
Instead of the partly boring, lifeless and impersonal experience Dragon Rising offered, there is a lot more focus on the characters this time around. Most of your escapades scores you experience and as you rise in ranks you gain access to new weapons, upgrades and abilities for your squad.Ĭodemasters have mixed the infantry simulation from Dragon Rising with a healthy dose of Hollywood. Personally I picked the sniper class as I prefer to pick off my enemies from a far to get a smoother trip through the countryside. Once again you're in charge of a four men squad, and you can pick from four different classes. The countryside of Tajikistan is a dangerous place, and you are always fighting against an enemy that outnumbers your squad. If you stand around looking out at your surroundings with binoculars at night from your cosy and well-lit hut you are likely to be an easy target for a sniper. It's still a very challenging game, where you will be punished as soon as you lose focus on your objective. Codemasters clearly attempted to deliver the same brand of experience Bohemia once did, but this time around things are very different.Ĭodemasters have tried to maintain the basic concept to the best of their abilities and largely succeed in doing so while also adding some new elements in Red River. They managed decently with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, even if I feel that it was rather stiff and frustrating in retrospect. When Codemasters assumed control of the license they tried to adapt the concept to a modern audience. If you've been around for a while you will recall the first Operation Flashpoint for its strict and brutal realism.
