I am wetting myself! this looks very good. It has COOP !
PC release date. 29th May 2009
Plot In the near future, the world's superpowers find themselves critically short of oil. Russia begins to survey the island Skira, off the Japanese coastline and subsequently lays claim to its vast, untapped reserves of oil.
When China learns of the actions taken by Russia, they quickly annex the island. As a result, the Russians ask NATO and the United States for assistance. This leads to an American-led invasion of the island.
Features Many facts and features are confirmed for Operation Flashpoint :Dragon Rising, these include:
Damageable world objects. Damage done to world objects is persistent. The setting takes place on an island called Skira Island Firing sequences from lifting the object up, to placing it on your shoulder, to turning it on and arming to fire is all faithfully simulated, also reloading is faithfully simulated. Weapons can be attached with scopes and grenade launchers. According to Game Informer there are over 70 real life weapons in game, all supported by a realistic ballistic system. There are over 50 different land, air and sea vehicles.

But Bohemia Interactive (the developer of OFP) had a falling out with Codemasters (the publisher), and as CM own the right to the name, BI couldn't use it for their game.
Just wanted to confirm that as is the case with almost all of our major releases, OFP: DR is planned to have a demo released prior to launch for all platforms.
I don't have any further details at the moment regarding dates and content, but I will keep on updating this thread as and when new info becomes available. __________________ Ian 'Helios' Webster Community Manager
