Story:Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a game about a fictitious conflict on one of the Sakhalin islands, a conflict that is in danger of erupting onto a global scale. The player takes the role of a US soldier, part of the allied force fighting against outnumbering Chinese forces vying for control of the island. The game centers on a campaign narrative that gives the player a variety of roles in the allied forces ranging from a Marine Infantry, tank commander, Special Forces and helicopter captain. The game has an incredible realistic depiction of war with careful attention to the detail of the weapons, equipment and tactics of the armed forces. The action is varied from intense fire fights through to slower pace tactical decision making on how to best tackle the mission objectives.Show more

While I voted for this a long time ago in the original Wishlist, I was reminded to come to the new Dreamlist and vote for this game again given that EA has decided to delist the game from Steam, another reminder that we need much better work with preservation, something that even GOG has to deal with given publisher agreements and their disregard to keep their games being available and playable for new generations. Please GOG, try to contact EA and Codemasters and make it possible for this game to come back and being available on here. About the game itself? while is not way near the quality of the ARMA series nor is able to compete with the original OPF, the games was good and really deserved better, it was a good mix of OPF and 2001 Ghost Recon, it tried to compete against ARMA and lost, but that doesn't mean it was a bad game.
this was one of the first computer games i ever have the fondest memories of, i used to go round my gandfathers at the weekend and play this game, it was a large part of my teenage years
The only problem I ever had with this game was the 30 fps limit on console. Its a shame this game didn't find its audience, because at this time there was a lot of people who would've loved it. Its your hardcore military sim, you get punished brutally for mistakes. But unlike a lot of military sims this game felt really fair and balanced, it doesn't feel quite as unfair or brutal as most military sims. The freedom in the co-op/single player missions are fantastic and what makes this game shine. You could have you and your friends hop into a helicopter together, drop half the team near the objective and coordinate with your friends. It feels like a true sandbox game.

Crackdown
CrackdownCrackdown is an open world, third-person shooter video game for the Xbox 360. Set in the fictional Pacific City, the player controls a biologically enhanced Agent, tasked with defeating three crime lords and their organized crime syndicates. The Agent's abilities improve by defeating both crime lords and their supporters, as well as by completing optional activities, such as street races and scavenger hunts. The gameplay is nonlinear: instead of following a rigid mission sequence, players are free to select the approach to completing their missions and activities. The game features a two-player cooperative play mode via Xbox Live. Crackdown, initially planned for release on the original Xbox console, was envisioned as a vast world in which players could experiment and explore freely. Microsoft Game Studios bundled specifically marked copies of Crackdown with an access code to the multiplayer test version of the much-anticipated Halo 3 Beta. The game sold 1.5 million copies in its first six months of release because everybody wanted to play Halo 3. It received positive reviews and has garnered several awards for its innovative gameplay. Crackdown was a free download (for Xbox Live Gold members only) from August 1st, 2013 to August 16th, 2013 as part of the Xbox 360 "Games With Gold" (Xbox Live) program.
