For those old enough to remember the original Operation Flashpoint and it's expansion, the good news is that there is a new addition to the franchise. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will be out by the end of this year. I was scheduled for mid 2009 but has now slipped down the calendar. I enjoyed the original incarnation and judging by the trailer , the new addition looks great.

The great selling point of Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis was the huge levels and the realism. You could wonder around the map for extended periods of time hiding away from enemy forces, the flip side was that you could also be picked off by some enemy sniper without having the faintest idea where the shot came from.

I am keen to see how it translates to the console platform.

 On a side note, it's interesting too see how the world has changed from a Cold War in which Russia was a super power to the present where China is a rising power.
