- OPERATION FLASHPOINT®: DRAGON RISING™ ‘SKIRMISH’ DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT, PATCH AND TITLE UPDATES ANNOUNCED
- 04.11.09
-
Codemasters® today announced that the first Operation Flashpoint®: Dragon Rising™ downloadable content – the ‘Skirmish’ pack – will be available for PC tomorrow, November 5th, along with a title update patch. Title updates for the console editions of acclaimed tactical shooter will also be available from the 5th with the ‘Skirmish’ DLC pack following shortly after on PlayStation® Network and Xbox LIVE® Marketplace.
\r\nThe ‘Skirmish’ video, available from www.flashpointgame.com, demonstrates the breadth of exhilarating new content. Players are shown going head to head in attack helicopters, deploying tanks and APCs and engaging in ranged and close quarters combat in the wide ranging new maps and missions featured in the downloadable content.
\r\nThe ‘Skirmish’ DLC features four new multiplayer maps and two new Fire Team Engagement (FTE) missions featuring both solo and four player co-operative play. Hunt down SAM launchers hidden in the sprawling complex of ‘Lumberyard’ and assault dug in PLA forces and fight room to room in ‘White Fang’, two tense new ‘Infiltration’ multiplayer maps. ‘Annihilation’ multiplayer maps pitch armour and infantry against each other in rolling battles across a valley in ‘Stomping Grounds’ and in ‘Force Dispersal’ military bases separated by a strategic hill become a close-quarters killing ground.
\r\nNew FTE missions include ‘All Round Defence’, which places gamers in control of air support and attack helicopters as they defend a fortified complex against relentless waves of PLA. In ‘Uphill Struggle’ players must capture a bunker under heavy fire from hillside reinforcements. Gamers can also recon the entire 220 km² island of Skira alone or co-operatively in a range of vehicles at day or night in ‘Island Tour.’
