What does each person do after work? Resting, and always in different ways. Each of us tries to combine active rest with a passive one, to keep abreast of all the news. Someone prefers to run through the park in the morning, and someone is not averse to completing one, two or three missions in a row in some game on a computer device. Today it is this way of entertainment that is most popular, but the only difficulty that gamers face is the choice of interesting virtual entertainment. In order not to guess and not waste time searching, you just need to launch Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. What is this game like? What are its main characteristics and why is it so popular?
About the game
Appeared on the screens of computer devices Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising in 2009. This development is a computer game in the genre of tactical shooter. The well-known company Codemasters worked on its creation and implementation. Moreover, this project is not independent, but is a sequel to the original. It works on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 game consoles, as well as on computers running Microsoft Windows.
The gameplay sends the participant to a fictional rich piece of land called Skyr, surrounded by endless seas, where the plot contains the largest oil deposits. In fact, the prototype of this place is the
island of Kyska in the Far East
. This place is becoming the subject of a military conflict between China, the USA and Russia, which means that a war of three great powers is coming. For full functionality, the developers have implemented in their project a modified game engine EGO.
System requirements
On the whole, the beautiful and well-designed picture that Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising has requires to reproduce fairly high characteristics of working equipment. So, the minimum system requirements are: the presence of a dual-core 2 x 2.4 GHz processor and an NVIDIA graphics card. Requires installation of 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of hard disk space. If the device reaches the above parameters, then you can see in places a blurry and incorrect picture, but still it’s real to play here.
In order not to feel discomfort, it is worth observing the recommended system requirements: a quad-core process, a video card updated to 8800 GT with support for Shader 3.0. RAM will require 2 GB, but on the hard drive everything will also need 8 GB.
Story line
In general, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is twisted around the war itself, because the plot, as such, is not here. But what do the developers promise? This is the presence of a tactical shooter, where ballistics is based on a realistic battle. For example, a fighter is in a strategic attack, gets a bullet wound in the leg. This is not a fatal injury, and in the game it is accompanied by bleeding and rapid expenditure of energy. In this case, you need to quickly provide medical help: bandage, make an anesthetic and again into battle. So the wound will heal soon. The abilities of the fighter will depend on where the enemy fell. Wounded arm - decreased the percentage of hits.
In this case, the game Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising has a huge world, which is also completely open to movement. Participants of glass walls will definitely not meet here, the island’s size itself limits the space. Go beyond it is impossible. All this allows the player to create their own
tactics of warfare, the route and the area where the most bloody battles will take place.
Continuation
But what gamers will especially enjoy is the sequel to Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising, released in 2012. The feeling of going through this project is completely different. It seems that right now you have become a participant in the hostilities and are at the epicenter of everything that happens. All the same powers want to gain supremacy over this territory, but the outcome of events depends on the actions of each fighter. Now you will become not a pawn in this chess game, but a king, and will lead all the battles, carry out skirmishes, win one battle after another.
Now in your hands will be available weapons of different countries, you can use the air forces. Although the Chinese army will be strong at the beginning of the game, you only need to show dexterity in order to identify its worst side and make it a complete failure.
Opinion of the participants
Game Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising is fundamentally different from the first part. It is more dynamic and complex, although the game world has remained the same: all the same island, the same sea surrounding this piece of land. Here you definitely won’t get the hope of having a good time, walking around the island, enjoying the sunset - only fighting, shooting and tactical work. Each step must be thought out, because in battle immediately expects failure. Participants pay attention to how beautiful and finalized the second part has become: now the characters have real emotions (agony, screams begin from injuries, from moons - a slight moan, conversations are either quiet, quick or even with gestures). If you choose a game where you can try your military skills, then the second part of Operation Flashpoint is definitely suitable: it is dynamic, lively and really complex, in comparison with the previous part.
