Gaming Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Review

None of our ARMA2 guys have liked it so far, for a while we thought there would be competition but its like the Fun Aid of ARMA2 Kool Aid is just so much better and just feels complete.

 

Awe man! Went to cancel my play pre-order but its "packing" so cant anymore

Next time don't put the review up on when pre-orders usually ship

 

lol, not just me then! I literally thought "thank god for the cancel order button.....crap!"

As i said before though, it's only £17.99 + i've just sold something on ebay that will pay for it so i'm not really fussed now

 

Lol your references to dog turds and greased glass are hilarious! you guys always crack me up!
I love your humour.
As for giving out harsh reviews to up traffic, i haven't been here long, but i have never seen that happen, bit-tech does its job giving out neutral opinions. They consider real life situations from the perspective of what most people expect or want.
But the small niches are not left out either.
i read all my reviews from here, because i know that i can get fair opinions and a good laugh along the way.

Now that i finished sucking up to the bit-tech team, maybe you guys could send me a prize?

 

The console target audience has done it for me too....order cancelled.

 

Or maybe you couldn't handle the vehicles because you can't drive?

HA HA!

 

I think I'll be getting ArmA2 instead although less bugs does sound nice.

 

I can pilot a boat though

 

Another turkey by codemasters, "cough"... fuel.

 

Ive ordered this for the Xbox (and I think its at home waiting for me now!), I have to say I think that the score of 5 does seem low compared to all other reviews that I have seen tho I concede that this may be because of the difference between Console expectations and PC expectations. This review was for the PC and the points that the reviewer made do seem to hold up (as I am sure they are not lying!) When you compare the drawbacks to ARMA 2 for example it does seem to hold it back. However as a console gamer I have to say to that the number of complete spanners playing COD and jumping around and teabagging people really does wear me down so I am hoping this game will attact a more mature type of gamer, and a slower pace to the game!

Just a note, I think where it says the console multiplayer is 4v4 with 3 bots is wrong, I believe that it is 4 v 4 with each person being in command of 3 bots each, i.e total number of bodies in the game is the same as the PC at 32, its just that 24 are AI controlled. Also you can mix around the numbers of human players per squad if you dont want to bother ordering the AI around.

 

there's no manual saves either...what a ridiculous idea to limit PC gamers with console hardware shortcomings.

 

I didn't read past the first page. The player limit and word "console" said everything I needed to know.

Arma II it is then, well when I've replaced my current PC.

 

Just afraid about Multigaming... only private server ....so strange and so bad ....
Why Codemaster just think about Xbox , PS3... and no pc gamers. I enjoyed OFP1 during six years and wish that new OFP will give same feelings...

 

lol porn wins.. sounds like a rushed game from the sound of it

 

See Arma and Arma 2, this has nothing to do with OPFP 1 except it's a codemasters release and has the name.

 

I was looking forward to this as well, well I was looking forward to the massive size of the game and the thought of taking my friend on in an hours long sniper duel. Not so much anymore.

In all fairness alot of the complaints could be fixed with patches later on but seeing as its aimed at consoles I doubt it will get any good support down the road.

 

Looks good shame i need a new system first

Oh and typo in the following paragraph.

"Even older *[cars]* are up to the challenge though and when Richard dropped in for a quick co-op mission then he still managed to run the game on those settings (with 2x AA) with 40+ fps on an Nvidia GeForce 8800 Ultra."

 

Damn, thats harsh. And it all looked so promising. Could any of the flaws be modded out at all?

I was rather hopeing this could have been an interim replacement for BF2.

 

Quite gutted about this. The dev videos and updates looked so promising.
Then again, they were all on the 360. Same with MW2.

I would genuinely like to see just a single video for this and MW2 being played on a PC.

 

order cancelled
