Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising - "History of Skira" Intro Vid

[827rover]

fck oil, in Brazil they make their own gas from corn fields

[ATMirror]

"Russia tech fails to keeps with western" is a baboon like statement. It's soviet economy that failed not soviet technology. And hardly russia with US vs China is plausible scenario. Russia and China are within SCO (NATO type organization). If ever mostly likely scenario is Russia with China vs US. I think US f***ed up big time when after cold war it began expansion of NATO trying to isolate Russia. Instead of gaining a powerfull friend they pushed Russia befriend China.

[SuperTwiky]

It is fiction...

[moshiomoshimoshi]

@SuperTwiky

"Skira island" is surely fiction,

there are the model islands which can trigger a big warfare at far east.

the Kuril islands between Russia and Japan.

the Senkaku islands between China and Japan.

the Paracel Islands and the Spratly Islands between China, Vietnam, and Philippines.

today, these tensions are getting the highest ever.

[smarzotais]

@ATMirror its tech DID fail to keep pace. the early space race was the last true soviet lead technology wise. Its economy did too, the tech failed to keep pace because of the economy and vice versa.

[ThebanPhalanx]

The Chinese have invented weapons which supposedly has the reliability of the ak-47 and accuracy of the m16.

Type 81 assault rifle, it's called. They also have one of the worlds best tanks (along with Russia and America), very good missile technology and air technology. They didn't buy the technology, they are big enough to make it themselves. Who would sell military technology to China anyway? No one would. America can buy scientists from Europe.

Besides, all the best guns are made in Europe.

[JasperRedOutbreak]

First it was World in Conflict. USSR invades America. Now this. Geez, little wonder generations in the West still generally view us with antagonistic suspicion. Oh well, hey US Treasury, if you see this, just repay those debts we're supporting for you in Alaskan oil, eh. We don't really want an island in the middle of nowhere if not for the black gold on it.

[kowe84]

the reason they put the U.S. in these games is because no one wants to use shitty russian weapons or chinese weapons. America is the most technologically advanced army, so get used to playing them in games. or go play halo

[GoldenZealot21]

Well you play as the US not because of technological advancement (Russia is arguably more advanced than America in every military field except navy... and Russia has advanced missiles to deal with that easily).

Shitty Russian weapons? A Marine I knew fired the old ass AK-47 that hasn't been used in the Russian military for 50 years now, and found it to be better than the M16A4 in every regard except weight and automatic fire accuracy.

[SkullKing11841]

and he u.s has better air force

[GoldenZealot21]

It doesn't matter when a battalion of S-400s can shoot down any maximum size of air fleets in a given region..

[SkullKing11841]

the s-400s cant shoot down a stealthed aircraft unless it shoots a missle within sam range and no 1 is going to do that if they can fukin help it stealth lets you pick if and when you want to ingage a target or not

[GoldenZealot21]

Stealth doesn't mean "it can't be seen at all." Stealth has also pretty much failed. the B-2 bomber is the stealthiest US aircraft and it was spotted and 1 even shot down in Serbia in 1999 with 1960s radards.

I'm talking B-2, not F-117.

F-22 has been a failure. Take it from air force officers I've spoken to. They're still trying to fix up all the maintenance problems, and particularly the "stealth." As for modern Russian equipment? Oh babye USAF.

[SkullKing11841]

u.s sams are going to shoot down Russian planes as well but the u.s is would win in most air to air combat its up to anti sam aircraft and ground and NAVY forces to take out the sams and when that happens the u.s gets air superiority in that region

[GoldenZealot21]

HAHAHA

US only has a couple dozen operational "Patriot" SAM battries. They are on a technological level with the ancient S-200 haha.

US can't get any air superiority anywhere, and its army is trash.

Russia has AShMs that the Pentagon admits would make a full naval attack on Russian territories or interests IMPOSSIBLE. Oh shit.. PWNED!

[SkullKing11841]

your calling the u.s army trash do you no what fukin happens to russian soldiers in the russian army they get fukin abused so much and they have no fukin rights there are also other anti-air defence systems that the U.S has like the RBS-70 and missle wise they have THAAD but all up its the way you use what you have in war WW2 germany was so much more tech advanced than the allies and look who won the start of WW2 france had better tanks then germany but germany still one

[SkullKing11841]

no it was only an f117 that got shot down the b2 is the size of a bird on radar right now so i fuking doubt 1960s radar could have even seen it ground radars are a lot better than the radars that are in aircraft so in a dog fight the f22 can pick were and when it wants to fight russian planes and

[starcraftguy365]

russia and america vs china dude who do you think wins theres hardly any way china could handle a two front war.BUT thats just my opinion but i would like to never find out because war sucks.

[ValkiryeMax]

Actually if china could form it's massive population into one big army they could win by sheer numbers

[SkullKing11841]

yere but if they did that russia and the u.s would do the same

[Miller3492]

i love this intro i watch it every day!

[WhosTurnIsIt]

It's a FUCKING GAME, chill the fuck out people! All gamers want to do is fuck shit up and kill people! Not worry about some political-bullshit in some fuckin fictional world!

[llGrimsonll]

you are an idiot. you give americans a bad name. it is do stupid of you to say people dont care. if that were true we would all be idiots who just played halo.

[WhosTurnIsIt]

I wasn't saying that about Americans you dumbass, I was mentioning the majority of gamers are young people who really don't give a damn about world politics/events! I was also trying to make a point that people commenting on this shit about playing US forces instead of RU were making too much of a big deal, it a GAME! And it aint stupid to say people don't care b/c they sure as hell didn't with that gang raping of that 15y/o girl! Should I reference some more instances with ppl not caring?

[llGrimsonll]

know, you should just be quiet

[llGrimsonll]

*EDIT* You know....

[elkpointscanner]

Bullshit...... when I first was watching this I was like... Oh sweet! I can play as either china or russia no USA woohoo!!! Oh wait..... Every game needs to have american forces in it..... Im sick of playing as the americans..... Its a war againts China and Russia but they needed to find a way to put USA in..... Complete bullshit....

[Miller3492]

u can play as both and this game is an AMERICAN MODERN WARFARE SIMULATOR. it has to have the USA in it

[tjzil]

Well, you know, skira island is a direct replication of an American island in Alaska. And the first OFP centered around American forces, so thats why the sequal focuses on it too.

You want the ability to play as Russians? Go play Arma 2.

[Don1772]

So its Whites Vs Asian Mmmm...

[gamer1001]

I don't get it, didn't in 1996 China and Russia formed a military alliance called the SCO to counter NATO?

[iseeuat100yds]

yeah but this is a video game, they can make stuff up

[GoldenZealot21]

This is a fictional American propaganda game lol.

[tjzil]

That is made by a british company... Lol

This isnt made or endorsed by Americans in any form. It is a sequal to the first OFP.

[Miller3492]

ITS ALL FAKE DUDE, ment to make the game better, WE GET TO FIGHT WITH RUSSIA HURAAA! lol

[ChalkyBarracuda]

this game is going to be pretty sweet!

good job with the trailer aswell!

[Nymphite93]

I think Russia could take China...

[pompusmaximus]

Why would the US and Russia form an alliance against China?

[Hawkins101022]

Why would the US and Russia form an alliance against Germany, to fight against a common enemy

[pompusmaximus]

Yeah but I mean it just seems that we are so at odd with eachother it would be hard to believe, whatever though, game looks good

[FEFETHIL]

Russia and the US are both wary of the Chinese expansion, If China screws with one, the other comes into play.

[GoldenZealot21]

Made up scenario lol. As we know in reality, US and China are close allies.

[GoldenZealot21]

Shit.. I meant Russia and China are close allies haha.

[Miller3492]

cause russia is letting us drill for oil

[Vlady14]

great story,it's going to be a great game

[Godzilla1107]

HAIRY
