Have you guys ever thought or considered thinking on the life of marines??
Well maybe you have, but personally I don't think so (nothing personal)....!!!!
The fact, as you see, is that gamers overemphasize the concept of marines in games nowadays. They make it look totally unreal, something which can never happen in real life.
If you guys have played
Counter-Strike or
Call of Duty or any other games of the sort, you will know what I mean by "
unreal".
Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising is a
totally different type of a game, first person shooter. The story of this game is based on an all-out war which rose out of
China's surprising invasion of an island, rich in
oil and other mineral resources, which originally belonged to the
USSR territory. The
US marines were deployed on the island (called Skira), after the
USSR requested aid from the United States, concerning the above matter. This is a
totally different game, by which I mean, different from any other games I have played or seen.

With all due respect to the legendary game,
Counter-Strike, it (
CS) does not unveil any amount of reality, and that is what many gamers want to achieve.
Anyone who likes playing games, will want something realistic. This game is the one that defines
realistic warfare.
War between marines and opposite party (faction irrelevant) is not like
Call of Duty, where you can take in any amount of bullets, and can surprisingly heal over time. Compared to the above, this game will show you that
one bullet in the right angle and the right place is all what takes to gain advantage in the battlefield. If you gamers have ever noticed, in other games, leniency is provided, i.e, shoot a bit above the head and its a headshot.
Shooting an enemy ain't so easy, especially, when the other person is a real human, not a game bot. Say for example, you are out there fighting a war. The first thing in your mind is not going to be "
I will kill every terrorist and be a hero"; but to be careful and evade bullets becomes the 1st priority, and shooting, the second.

This game specializes in a combination of strategic as well as action gameplay.
Game graphics are pretty much like or better than
Call of Duty 4:MW.
You are the team leader of your platoon (4 personnel) which is one of 15 other platoons, divided under five divisions. If you believe in strategy first and action second, this is the game for you people. You have airstrike and artillery at your disposal.
1. A planned section with use of support from the HQ itself.
2. The right place to flank the enemy from.
3. And the right tactics........
..........Can tip the battle to your favor. I prefer this game, because it is not simply a war and we are supposed to just shoot the hell out of enemies (bots), but because it facilitates the gamers to plan their way out of a battle victorious.

Statutory Warning : This above game is a bit too realistic, exposure of blood and gore is present and playing this game with an aggressive mentality may cause hypertension and the like. Play this game at your own risk.
