  • Too bad this game never got as good as ArmA. I have to respect it's engine and the optimization. The Mission Editor wasn't that bad either.

  • Nice, love the game and the song! I actually used this song in one my TrilapseStudios timelapse videos I made a while ago :)

  • richiespeed i want your consideration pls.... if you must choose for ArmA 2 and Operation flashpoint dragon rising what is more good?

  • looks pretty, is it wrth buying?

  • @TheTakeo109 Its worth buying for console players but for PC you should choose Arma 2. I have both games and OFP2 doesnt even compare to arma 2's realism and looks.

  • 1)This is a great FPS game.

    2)This is a rubbish flashpoint game.

    1) User friendly, map editor (pc) which is easy to use, better voice acting, worth the money on pc (i got it for £18 on play . com), not bad graphics and good fun with friends.

    2) Compared to OFP 1: Lack of vehicles ie PLANES, Dumbed down, less realistic, not mod-able (cant find one on the internet that changes anything), less customizable, map is less varied, less bots (OFP 2= 63 OFP 1= 180)

    A fair review? More to add?

  • The best thing about this game is the kicking down of doors 0:24 and the setting up of the launchers 1:34. All the other stuff like thermal, laser sights and flashlights are now in ARMA 2 OA. The fact you can also fly planes in ARMA kind of does it for me.

  • if you are having a hard time finding people to play with online i own this game for 360 gamertag debamb derek send me a friend request i will play with you

  • @drauglintuor

    correct but its still a good game saying its not meens you are a lier i own it and i have played arma 2 demo and add on

  • What is the track name ? Anyone ?

  • I say that because this game was to be on the console, it was ruined. If it was not on the console, OFDR could have been ALOT better. They should have just made a seperate PC version.

  • this game pwns,

     my fav game

    and great vid

  • man this game was a waste of my money

  • @AnBGAMING247 learn to play it gaytard

  • @AnBGAMING247

    why

  • There's one thing that OFP:DR doesn't have but ArmA 2 has, and which is the MOST valuable asset: a vast community full of modders and addon makers. That's why ArmA 2 is better.

  • ok i l know it says no cod but im gonna say it. cod is the typical shooter....NOT FUCKING REALISTIC but the gaming community has them thinking it is. go to war get shot 20 times and have your heath regenerate??? BULLSHIT cod is fucking not real this game is. if you think cod is realistic go join the an armed forces...good luck having your health regenerate.

  • this video made the game look great! i love 0:50...

    but real game kinda sucks :(

  • if its not covered in gltiches(which is rare) its fun to play online with a few other guys...gameplay could be alot better

    waste of 60 bucks...

  • @Rangerfull3

    on xbox 360 there arnt that many glitches the gubs disapear sometimes and once in a long you find a invincble tank or guy

  • it looks like some people like the game cause its really intense and realistic, and other people like games like MW2 where it's all about kickin ass instead of going realistic style

  • its realistic, but it really lags, and glitches alot so u cant really enjoy the realism

  • i love this game it was so awesome i love it

  • dont believe people who say its crap because ive got it and its really good also very intense to i was getting shot by a mg nest so i just ran at it with me squad and the stupid fucker missed every shot ! lol !

  • yes, so obvviously the ai sick and the game is crap.... not comparable with arma 2 which it was supposed to compete with

  • so its not as good as arma 2?

  • I want that song so badly. Why must  I be teased.

  • I have always thought of getting flashpoint but never have and I am so sorry richiespeed but I have to say that this games has a real call of duty/Arma 2 feel to it.

    great video once again a 5?5

  • i geting this before arma 2 in the demo the controls was totaly weard but arma rocks but op:dr owns that what i think :)

  • ArmA II is a good game, but OF:DR can still catch up. Remember ArmA II took ages to get to the point it did with all the mods and patches.

    OF:DR still has a chance if it fixes alot of bugs and adds a few new features.

    Comparision :

    ArmA II :

    Weapons have large variety in choice, it has an awsomely good graphics engine.

    unrealistic sounds and unrealistic hits. Most sounds are the same soudn repeated over and over. Animations are aboslutly crap.

    Order system... shitty

  • Things i would do with my sixty dollars:

    buy food

    buy uncharted 2 (game of the year)

    or

    wipe my ass with it (i would get a lot more enjoyment out of that then i got out of this game)

  • I only like arma better because of the realism!

  • I find this more attracting than Arma 2.

    Arma 2 seems so... i dont know

  • If you look at the steam rating of this game and ArmA 2, its: ArmA 2:77

    Dragon Rising:76

    ArmA 2 way better though

  • @snakevenom56 not choosin sides but how can u say arma2 is way better when it is up by a single point?

  • @Hotlinks0 Well I've heard plently of negative things for OPF:DR

    Something about only 4 to a team in online play

    small land

    just picks out areas for online, you can't use the entire map

    you can't see your body

    no planes

    can't see arms while swimming

    Horrible demo

    crappy mission editor to where you can only put in a small amount of units

    I think there is more, but that's my OPF2 summary

  • just simple FPS... very pitiful similarity Arma, but only FPS element.....

  • this game sucks! iam very disappointed!

  • The game does not suck , you suck!. OFP was the best FPS shooter in 2001 and it always will be. it was first game to introduce squad controlling gameplay and more.

  • ArmA 2 is the real OFP 2!

  • Awesome video, and awesome music!

    5/5

    Btw, what's the name of the music?

  • wow this vedio is awsome richie speed u rock man thnx for this great vedio of this great game :D

  • Yeah, this game include editor.

  • does this game have a editor?

  • If you are into a hardcore style simulator - ArmA2 is better.

    ArmA2 has a LOT of bugs though. needs more patience and modding to get just right.

    OF:DR is a more gentle introduction for people who are used to platform fps games.

    The OF:DR engine I find a LOT smoother than ArmA2, and the optics are far superior (FLIR anyone?).

    General control options and gameplay with ArmA are far superior - as is the multiplayer support.

  • @Friday9951 ARMA 2 doesn't have bugs anymore (patched up) and optics are way better in ARMA 2. You know that ARMA 2 has FLIR as well.

  • I have both games. OFPDR is no match for a simulator like ARMA2 which does just that. OFPDR is not a simulator, it's just a fps with editor.

    The graphics a not even close to that of ARMA2.

    Almost all gameplay vids of ARMA2 are actual gameplay from users. Now try find this with OFPDR. Biggest con ever

  • This game suck...i never played this kind of shit

  • thats right, this game suck more than everything that sucks before!

  • This game does not suck. Its much more playable then arma 2.

  • Opinions are opinions.

  • Well, to be honest, its probably not better then arma 2. And i am not saying it isnt. I would probably pick this over arma 2 because i like console games. This is by far the best console shooter, even if its no good compared to arma 2.

  • I can definitely agree to that :)

  • @richiespeedisback i hate how every one flames this game. they always compare it to arma 2. there is now way arma 2 will every be on a console. but this beats the shit out of cod

  • wow you'd call this call of duty knock off the best console shooter? what about modern warfare? halo 3?

  • looks like bf

  • Come to my channel for operation flashpoint 2 multiplayer gameplay!

  • relax, bugs can be patched up easily. yes it may be bad at the moment. but it will get better as time goes on updating things

  • "X360 m'a tuer"

    Another tactical shooter ruined for consoles' sake, after R6 and Gr now "Ofp" that thing doesn't deserve the name.

    I'm glad that BiS still here and I can't wait for ArrowHead, plus that ACE2's release seems close.

    That's really sad while good points in this game are exactly what Arma2 lacks of .. accurate animations for weapon mouting and reloiding, dismemberment, good ragdoll and a decent sound engine.

  • It's a Worms 3d meets Medal of Honor meets Dr. House.... I've seen this kind of game back in Zx Spectrum. And for the Arma 2 boys: how can you have a good time in a game with all those bugs?

  • because they are rapidly being patched up

  • Because we are not 12 year olds screaming "oh noez it haz teh bugz!!! take it backzz and getzz me da cod4!!!"

  • Comment removed

  • I so wish I could give you 100 thumbs up for this comment xD

  • @fodass666 You do know that most if not all the bugs have been patched right?

  • Lol Woops, I got confused there Richie

  • Another thing I forgot to mention, on the art side OFP:DR is much better then ArmaA2. The main thing that turned my off from ArmaA2 is the fact that the hands are so low resolution and ugly they distracted me. Same thing with the weapons, which look like 2d boards (and I play with everything on high.)

    The player animations where also horrible on ArmaA2. From a strict milsim perspective though its a great milsim (not really a game in my point of view)

  • Reviewers should be careful about catagorically calling a game crap. Just because its not your cup of tea does not mean its a bad game. It has its moments of frustration but overall I think its a decent milsim that got many things right (having been in real combat I can say the game is fairly immersive. Sounds are great!

    This isn't the type of game where you go directly into combat, your tactical decisions play more of a role then simply firepower, which is how it should be in a milsim.

  • I respect the fact you have been in combat, but your opinion does greatly contrast with most other active service members.

    Arma 2 is more accurate at everything in terms of realism than Dragon Rising, literally, everything.

    Arma 2 is completeley designed for strategical and realism simulation, hence why its military version, VBS 2, is used to train soldiers in tactical combat.

    Dragon Rising is a console shoot em up, all be it slower paced than your average cod 4. Its still a game, not a sim.

  • Your minunderstanding. I agree with what you are saying from a realism standpoint ArmaA2 is better then OFP:DR (except at sounds, I think dragon risings sounds are much better.) However thats from a strict milsim standpoint.

    Just because OFP:DR isn't as hard core as a milsim as ArmaA2 does not mean however that it is crap or does not have its own merits.

  • I respect your opinion jmrichey84, having served in the military and all but there are instances where this game has me confused. Like when I was stood in front of 5 PLA soldiers at about 50m, two of which were on heavy machineguns and I managed to kill them all like Rambo whilst they shot at my feet! Btw, I was fighting single-handedly as I had just killed my AI team mates for being dumb, hehe.

  • Yeah I keep hearing about such instances, I guess I'm lucky because so far I haven't really encountered that issue with the enemy AI. Friendly squad AI yes but not enemies. More times then not they see me way before I see them even.

    Are you playing on console or PC?

  • i think people who dont like it have been playing shity arcadey games their whole life and its come as a shock to them what a real game is like.

  • Actually most people who don't like it, are those who are dedicated fans of the original flashpoint made by Bohemia Interactive, Arma, and Arma 2.

    All of which are way, way more realistic and hardcore than dragon rising. The game is a let down on all fronts. It fails at being a fps, and it fails at being a milsim.

    Its crap.

  • No, its not crap, it just that your not into that "type" of thing. Its a great game. The bugs are not bad enough to where you can play the game. The bugs that are in it and make the gameplay horrid will be fixed, thank god theres mods coming out like A.C.E. 2... Enjoy your OFP:DR game, im expecting you to be the average arcadish style gamer.

  • Are talking to me, HitmanBrian?

    I was saying Dragon Rising is crap, not Arma 2. Arma 2 is as hardcore as it gets, best milsim on the market by far.

  • well arma2 is in a league of its own, so i can see why arma2 fans would not like it, pc gamers are very picky about games too. as for the cod and battlefield fans, i bet they just find it too hard and dont like the fact that "HEADSHOT" OR "KILL STREAK" isnt popping up on the screen.

  • Looks like Arma2, BF and Cod 4 all mixed up!

  • Is out today.. im going to buy it tomorrow

  • I got it already, its utter garbage. Don't waste your money.

  • Im watchin ur video debating and u say that...........lol so is there a story line ??

  • The story line is ok, so is the campaign, buts its a very broken game, and the developers told alot of lies.

    Gamespot gives it a 7.5 on consoles, no review yet for pc. Some reviews give below 5/10, some give it 8 out of 10.

    On pc it is in a very bad condition though, so maybe give it a try if you own a console.

  • i want to no why its garbage is it because its not run and gun it looks awesome i like the no run and gun style gameplay and thr graphics look good so why is it garbage?

  • it is nice but it isnt what the title says ^^ but belive me you have to see all hes videos its totaly ownage

  • rated the video a 1 cause the game isnt out yet. other than that i dont know what else to say

  • it's looks like ArmA2

  • i just baught my own home yheatre for 50000dollars in Norwegian money just too play games like this on it:))))))))))

  • that's because norway is an overpriced piece of shit country imo.

  • omg fuck odst its getting traded in for this

  • Nice video!

  • u need higher reqs for this game or arma 2?

    im already playing arma 2 and im wondering if my PC can run this game :) please answer

  • This is going to be awesome when it's out :D

  • From what ive seen of this game it accually looks better than Arma 2 when it comes to gameplay etc.

  • Totally agree!

  • I'm an ArmA 2 player but ill def get OFP 2 it looks wicked

  • nice video man i subscribed

  • upcoming game...SIX DAYS IN FALLUJAH...rules!!!

  • this game is gunna b sick i love millitary fps and this is gunna b the best.... im smokin a fat blunt on game release day

  • me too buddy lol sick combo

  • with this have an editor like arma and is it 2 player splitscreen so i can make a mission so me and friend can play or atleast campaign

  • only an editor on the PC version

  • actually i just read theres dlc for consoles that you can get

  • yes but that doesnt mean there'll b a mission editor for consoles

  • no they said exactly that the mission editor will be dlc

  • send me a link

  • for the consoles???

  • sorry i meant "because they dont have mouse :P

  • that just means you have bad hand eye coordination

  • nope, i dont like the sensibility...

  • if you give it a try, you get use to it

  • nah i prefer graphics and that kinda of stuff...

    and ive got a perfect gaming rig right now so...

  • the console version will kinda suck because First Person Shooters in console are very hard because i dont have a mouse...

  • Nice video, but the more I see of the game the more it reminds me of Battlefield Bad Company and the sort..not realistic but pretty.

  • @:Lokai6116: Please try to watch more of a game before you say things ! This is more realistic then bbc2. Here you cant inject your self thousands of times that will make the bullets in your body dissapear and make you feel good again.

  • so this is supposed to be like a military simulator for the consoles. kind of like ArmA 2???????

  • kinda.

    it looks good-

  • Not just for consoles, but for PC as well. and I guess in a since it is kind of like ArmA 2, both are focused on the realism of the battlefield and really be like a military simulator.

    By the way, what's up with all the question marks?

  • they need to fix the lag between players in ArmA 2, it looks like they are teleporting 2 feet ahead of them.. screw the bugs, they need to fix that first

  • great video ! the video is perfectly synchronized with the music, and with flashpoint 2 videos ! can't wait that game

  • should i buy this game it looks sooo great but i havent seen alot of the combat the first person crosshair and the way your gun darasticly moves up and down when u move might start to get annoying dont u think?

  • this is normal if you don't see the crosshair, it's in hardcore ,mode on the video, wich means no hud, no lifebar and everything...

    this game's is supposed to be the most realisitic game ever released on console, so the recoil of the weapons and the other things are realistic !! anyway that gam will be great !

  • is this a free game?

  • o wait guys sorry about ''is this a free game?'' i meant for computer

  • no.

  • Bring operation flashpoint 1 back to life !!

    Man that's what i call a game to be proud of

    My fav game next to cod series

  • great syncing man.. really good vid

  • Yeah no matter what this will be the real revolutionary combat simulator. Arma is good.. But not as good as this is gonna be. Not just thee graphics or the kick ass animations attract me to this. its just the realism. October is almost here fellas. Hope to see ya online for some good ole' Ass kicking

  • Revolutionary?

    Mate, its nothing new. The original flashpoint was revolutionary. This game lets you command what, 4 AI?

    About as revolutionary as a twig :) Doesn't mean it won't be a great game, but your comment is nuts!

  • Lol no what i was talking about that was making it revolutionary is it really feels and looks like your in a real battlefield way better then how arma is doing it But both games rock. And since your pc spec is amazing you could get OFP2 for pc instead of 360 so that way you will command more then 4 and you have the editor so it will be amazing fr you but they took the editor out of the 360 version :(

  • And it releases October 9th, 2009 for Europe.

  • What consoles is this coming out on? Just the PC? If its released soon and comes out on 360 could be competition of COD Modern WarFare 2.

  • This game is releasing for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on October 6th, 2009 in United States.

  • oh in said it was on october 4rth for 2009 but what about arma 2 and arma i heard it was comeing out for those consoles on october also

  • No, Arma and Arma II are staying exclusive to the PC. But those are still the dates of the games in which are to come out in a month.

  • DANG IT! IGN LIEEEEDDDD!!

  • TRAXXAS59 having read all these posts you appear to be a WANKER who is probably shit at FPS anyway.....

  • theres no fixed wings in dr

  • ARMA 2 was a letdown hope this is better

  • Why can't we chat about Call of Duty? At least thats got rain :(

    Anyway nice video, did you really edit that yourself?

  • Cos call of duty is a shit game for 13 year old wank pots that like shit games where they run around with magical perks giving them suck dick abilitys and shit guns that dont act or sound anything like they do in real life. This is a mil sim kid, the old one was a masterpiece i still play it to this day.

  • Yeh, , Not only have I got the first ArmA, Queens Gambit and ARMA 2, I've still got the first Operation Flashpoint and both it's expansion packs. I was only questioning the fact that you can't have a rainy day on a mission in OFP DR. I don't like Call of Duty as much as you do, which I expect is not alot.

  • Paranomasia12, there is actualy random weather just so u know

  • That was good Richie, well done.

  • K so, although ArmA 2 and OFP 2 are combat sims/mil sims w/e, both have drawbacks. For e.g. Arma 2 has alot of glitches and at the same time OFP 2 wont have fighter jets and the "hold alt and move your mouse around so you can see around you w/o moving your entire body" thingy. Imo OFP 2 will have better co-op but ArmA 2 has alot of mods for now so i dont really know wich will be better to buy. Just lettin my thoughts out :o

  • how will OFP 2 have better co-op? in arma 2 you can have like 30 players in co-op

  • you hav proved his point. 30 player co-op is stupid

  • yeah but also if you want 3 player co-op or any number of co-op so arma 2 is better because theres unlimited, and 30 player co-op is not stupid, what marine soldiers do you know that go in with 4 ppl and kill everyone..?

  • Thats real players, theres also A.I. you fucktarded ARMA 2 fanboy.

  • yh but this is online not real life! 30 players co-op wont be tactical or realistic, it will be who can leg it out & shot the most the fastest. STUPID IDEA. y u look @ OFP:DR vids just to say Arma 2 is better? fuk off

  • im bored argue about something different

  • y u back down alredy if its such a gd idea? fuck u fanboy

  • why do you keep calling me fanboy? im really exited for OFP 2, chill bro

  • iv called u fanboy once... & im not ur bro & im not black so stfu

  • Traxxas as in hobby company?

  • well ther is speacial forces

  • A small sqaud is much more fun to play with, Fanboy.

  • i am a Arma 2 fan I love it, however I spoke with a Bohemia employee and they said the console version was not confirmed. So that basically means this is the game to play on console, and the have said the editor is back in for console!

  • the ofp2 editor is on console?

  • Its going to come to console now yes, however if its on the disc to start or Dlc i dont know

  • woot i cant wait to get this for my gamecube baby yeah!

  • State your source.

  • About what dragon rising coming to Atari?

  • 0:23

    my favorite part, also, does anyone no what full vid that part is from?, i would like to see it

  • sadly 0:23 is like the whole clip...lol

  • What do you mean?

  • thats the whole piece of video showing room clearing it was in one of there docs when they talked about being able to storm buildings and clear em CQC style

  • ArmaII and OF2 Dragon rising are my must haves aside with CODMW2 this year !
