It's an Open World, Free Roaming, Tactical First Person Shooter in a Modern Warfare setting.<br /><br />It's set on a real Island on the North Coast of Japan, called Skira Island.<br /><br />The Island is 220 square kilometers in size. You and I both know that's almost five times the size of Far Cry 2's World!!<br /><br />The setting of the Island is most probably fictional, and inaccurate to the Islands real setting. But I believe the developers confirmed that the in-game Island is to the same scale/size of the real Island!!<br /><br /><br />The game is alot more free, because it doesn't hold any restrictions like Far Cry 2. You actually have interesting vehicles in a wider variety for this game. There are also weapons that are customizable and upgradeable with weapon attachments. And there is an endless list of equipment you can carry with your soldier.<br /><br />It also comes with a Mission Editor for the PC players only. It's used to create your own missions. You choose where you Spawn, where the AI spawns. You choose your objective, and so on.<br /><br />It makes the game less repetitive, although you wouldn't honestly expect it to be.<br /><br />There's a really in-depth and impressive Squad System to check out, too.<br /><br />There's only one issue with the game, and that is - with such a large scale island - you would expect some serious efforts to make the Multiplayer have alot of players! Sadly, it's only a 16v16. Now yes, that's alot of people, but for such a large scale island, us fans were expecting the developers to push for numbers around the 50 mark. <br /><br />But this is only with much thanks to APB, a new game coming eventually to Xbox 360 and PC. It's promising over 100 players online in one match. It's set in an urban City, similar to that seen in GTA IV. It's a completely online shooter with a deep customization feature that allows each player to be SO unique, that it'll be hard to actually see the exact same model online. <br /><br />That game is breaking boundaries for Online, but Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is breaking boundaries in so many other areas (with realistic features), that Online became less of a focus.<br /><br />Fortunately, as you'd expect, they're splitting the Island up into specific hotspots. These places will be good for intense action and chokepoints. It'll also (assumably) be set around the more interesting scenarios on the Island (as alot of the Island is hills of Grass, Trees and Foliage).<br /><br /><br />I thought you may like it, because I think this game would easily defeat Far Cry 2. They're not quite on the same boat. Far Cry 2 is more of a one-man-army Game as a Mercenary. This is an Army game where you'll be with a Squad, and an Army of Soldiers. Also the locations are very different. Africa restricts you to rusty old vehicles, and weapons.<br /><br />Let me know what you think!Elliott Richardsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876906265497042129.post-15208258290590380282009-08-23T16:47:26.812+10:002009-08-23T16:47:26.812+10:00http://rapidshare.com/files/243683191/AC.rarhttp://rapidshare.com/files/243683191/AC.rarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
