NXT Gamer: Operation Flashpoint: Red River Review

NXT Gamer's Oliver reviews Operation Flashpoint: Red River...

"I’ll make this clear from the very start- Operation Flashpoint: Red River is not Call of Duty. It’s not even Battlefield. This is not a game where you will find yourself rappelling down collapsing mountain tops, or single-handedly decimating an entire enemy base; rather, this is the game where you wait patiently 300 feet away from your target for them to show their faces, await confirmation of their position, and then pull the trigger, whilst simultaneously giving instructions to your team of three others and avoid getting shot yourself."

I'm getting this once it's in the bargain bin.

Ravenor4754d ago

It's Operation Flashpoint in name only.

Don't be fooled, Arma 2 is the only option for Modern day Mil Sims. It was JUST on sale on Steam for 7 dollars too, oh well.

The thing is, they arent selling it as a PC only soldier sim any more. So there isnt anything to be fooled by.

The devs said in many of the preview videos that it finds the middle ground between games like ArmA and games like CoD Modern Warfare.

Ravenor4753d ago

Then why even drag the Operation Flashpoint name through the mud? The friendly AI seems even worse then Dragon rising and it loses all of the open ended mission structure.

I'm not disagreeing that Codemasters was seeking some kind middle ground between the two. I just feel the game leaned far to heavily on the CoD part of the balance.

Some mediocre - crap games there. Couldn't even include any Codemasters racing games? It's the only thing they're good at.

Canadiangamernet3573d ago

Including the Dirt series in the bundle would have been awesome but i wouldn't say they are crappy games. I liked Overlord 1 & 2 and both Operation Flashpoint are decent FPS the other one are so so for me.

guitarded773572d ago

Like I said... crappy to mediocre. I liked Overlord too. Didn't care for Operation Flashpoint. But eve liking Overlord, I have no illusions that it isn't a mediocre game.

AntsPai3573d ago

Even though it's still technically a good deal, the whole $5 or £4 thing annoys me. Humble bundle doesn't do this. No thanks.

Operation Flashpoint: Red River - The Shooter That Could Have Been The Greatest

Mobile & Apps: "One of the most underrated shooters of the previous generation was Operating Flashpoint: Red River for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. With all its problems, I believe this is a game that is worth playing, however, it is not too hard to see why the game didn't quite kick off, as it should have."

I liked it, didn't quite finish it though. Maybe I will now.

Codj4131d ago

Loved this game, it was dumbed down from Dragon Rising but still an enjoyable game. Was still offputting to people looking for instant/non stop action

Theangrybogan4130d ago

Ha! Some colleagues and I are actually planning on hitting this one up tonight. Great game.
