This is one game you'll actually finish before your hair falls out and you start looking longingly at cardigans in shop windows. They don't always work, but they do the job better than the solitary save game in the first game did allowed. Don't go slouching off, grumbling about consoles and whatnot. Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising doesn't have save points, it uses checkpoints. Or to the solitary save point you were allowed. One shot to the face from a tiny set of pixels that had just appeared on the horizon sent you right back to the beginning. You start in a forest bereft of allies and have to make it past the entire enemy army without getting spotted once, because if they saw you, BAM! you were dead. There was also that mission where you're told to escape to the beach. I can't even remember how they bought it - mines, rockets or merely plain old bullets - but they died, again and again. I got to a mission where I had to escort some convoy of trucks over a large distance, and singularly failed to do so.īelieve me, I tried to protect my AI companions, but they just kept getting blown up. I Never Finished the original Operation Flashpoint.
