Operation Flashpoint2: Dragons Rising

This game seems to have had alot of bad press due to its realism, It would seem that some gamers who bought this game would prefer to able to soak up bullet hits like a dry sponge thrown in a swimming pool rather than experience a realistic shooter..

If you want a game that places you in the thick of realistic military action then Operation Flashpoint is well worth a play. Its intense, diverse and edge of the seat gameplay will leave you wanting more, If on the other hand you want a game that lets you soak up a full clip worth of your enemies finest ammo and still carry on playing then this isnt the game for you..
