Codemasters vil i dag lige sørge for at vi ikke helt glemmer, at deres Operation Flashpoint: Red River er på banen sent i næste måned. Vi har modtageten dugfrisk trailer og en lille beskrivelse, som forklarer det vi ser. Med titlen “Shifting Focus” fokuserer denne seneste trailer på spillets narretive elementer og giver også indtryk af et spil, som kræver lidt mere af spilleren. Selvom traileren fortæller andet, er det den 21. april at Operation Flashpoint: Red River vil blive udgivet her i Europa.

The ‘Shifting Focus’ video shows how the mission for the Marines in Tajikistan turns into a far more dangerous flashpoint than they could have imagined. After initially embarking on a campaign to quell a destabilising insurgency that threatens American interests, they must now take on the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China which seeks to stake its claim as “the preeminent military authority in the region.”

The in-game footage demonstrates how the might of the PLA, with vehicles, air support and state of the art weapons, presents a wholly different tactical challenge from insurgent fighters waging war from the shadows. “Now the men pointing the guns and artillery at the Marines have uniforms. They are organised and centralised. The PLA wield undeniable might in Tajikistan.”

Marines are shown engaging the PLA at close quarters, long range and in deadly night battles as they are “confronted by a foe equal in technology but vastly superior in numbers.” The PLA are disciplined, determined and well-equipped. It is not the war the Marines wanted but the war they must fight, and they must reassess and adapt in order to survive.

  1. Kan godt lide at de nævner STEAM, som platform, i slutningen af videoen, men der er dog intet at finde omkring det der.
