Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising PC Demo Lands

Just finished playing this demo - took me a couple of hours to complete all the secondary objectives. I thought it was quite good - definitely a few issues, but not nearly as terrible as most people are making out.

Of course, some of those issues (no rejoin once an online game has started) I didn't encounter - I can imagine this would be very frustrating. The minute-to-minute combat was quite good, though.

AI can't drive, though what's new : )

I've played through the entire game w/ 3 friends, so I got to experience it in its full co-op "glory." Some quick facts you may want to consider --

1.) The game has you run around...a LOT. At the end of the game it said we traveled 60 km on foot. Keep in mind that most of this time isn't spent under fire, but literally running quietly from one point to the next.

2.) No join after start, which means if your internet flips out or something goes awry you cannot rejoin the match or your friends.

3.) Practically no vehicles. I think we got into jeeps in 3 of the 11 missions. Frankly, vehicles are utter death traps in this game. Impossible to drive and they are instantly targeted by the enemy. Back on foot!

The game had 2 or 3 really solid, intense missions. Then a lot of boredom and running. I highly recommend you try the demo first.

I wish this demo had come out a month ago, so I would have known not to buy this game.

How about those dedicated servers?

Is this the same as the demo on Steam?

What a crock of shit.

Finally.
