Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising was announced as the full title for the return of the modern military simulation game. Codemasters also revealed an explosive teaser trailer for the game. The Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising teaser trailer is now available to view and download from www.codemasters.com/flashpoint2.

Planned to arrive in 2008 for the XBox, PS3 and PC, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising marks the long-awaited return of the total conflict simulator. This addition to Codemasters franchise will challenge a new generation of gamers to survive the chaos and rapidly evolving situations of military combat in a current contemporary theatre of war.

"Set on a vast oil-rich island located off the eastern coast of Russia, just north of Japan, Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising's plot takes place during a time of tension between Russia and China over the island's disputed ownership," explains Andrew Wafer, Brand Manager for the game, at Codemasters. "The game opens as Chinese forces launch an offensive, and referencing the game's title, as the dragon rises over the island, players will find themselves in a situation that is set to flare up into a flashpoint like never before."

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising utilizes an evolved version of Codemasters proprietary game engine Neon. As depicted in the new teaser trailer, soldiers, weaponry and military vehicles will be as authentic and realistically detailed as ever, and the environments will be a comprehensive simulation of real world locations, densely packed to create rich and challenging tactical combat situations.
