dragon rising was shit, red river is even worse. cant understand the xbox kiddies loving this game for its realism. you guys never played really realistic games like the original operation flashpoint.

the new gaming generation has no standarts thus they think this is the epitome of realism

also sion lenton is a cocksucker. opf2 he said its going to be super realistic(which it wasnt) it flopped. now he says "opf red river is going to be fun this time, because realism=no fun" <faggot

"Sion Lenton is the Creative Director at Codemasters Southam Studio, his previous experience at Codemasters was Executive Producer on Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising for XB360, PS3 and PC.

Before this he worked as Project Director at Blitz Games Studios, one of Europe's largest independent developers with almost 230 staff. His last project there was working on the highly successful BURGER KING GAMES for Microsoft "

I rest my case.

It's nice to see another one that get my point.

Selling games is like selling any other product. Cars, cosmetica, clothes. If I buy a car and something is wrong I complain & get my money back. That's very obvious. Codemasters certainly used false marketing with Dragon Rising. It worked. So if people buy it they will keep doing it - because It's working. If I were lying as much as Sion Lenton did about, let's say a car, I would certainly get busted for false marketing.

@RedRiverChannel Your right in EVERY regard let these dummied down people who dont give a fuck support a lying unethical businessman cause their all over the place thats why lenton can get away with this shit.....................cause the sad truth is that most people are morons, i used to feel bad about making what seems like a genaral comment like that , but the older i get the more im aware of this fact, these guys can lie thru their teeth and STILL people will ask for more........

You can call me troll, and my arguments might be controversial, but I am at least telling people the uncomfortable truth instead of lying like this stupid Sion Lenton. Obviously, kids like you doesn't understand the importance to complain and NOT buy and support bad products. It's people like you, that ''Don't give a fuck'', Sion Lenton is playing at. It's those people he get his money from. The smart one don't support unethical business men like Sion Lenton.
