"It's as close to war as you can get...in videogame form"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

OFP: Red River is almost not a game as much as it is a military simulator. As a squad leader, you need to order your squad around using an easy-to-use command wheel if you (and the rest of you allies) are to survive the harsh battlefields of Tajikistan.

Unlike Call of Duty or Battlefield, making a head-on cavalry charge to your enemies is a big no no as you can die in two hits. You wanna survive- Then you need to imitate the tactics the soldiers use in movies like Black Hawk Down and the Hurt Locker; you need to take cover and suppress their position, even if it means wasting ammo that won't hit them…because they wont' hit you either (hopefully).

My only major gripe with Red River is that the AI can occasionally be dumb but compensates with the superior marksmanship of your squadmates (these guys can make more kills than me).

You want a game that immerses you in a real-life battlefield- Well, get Operation Flashpoint: Red River.

"Very realistic and challenging. A great game."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is fantastic and it's great to see such a high quality game that doesn't follow the COD format. A very challenging game that will keep you coming back for more.

Description

Taking a small step into the future, and delivering an authentic and personal Marine Corps infantryman experience, Operation Flashpoint: Red River offers an epic campaign played out on a deadly battlefield set in the remote yet beautiful country of Tajikistan along the Vakhsh River.

“…capable, with occasional flashpoints of brilliance.” IGN
“…decent first-person shooter with solid shooting mechanics and great emphasis on a tactical approach to the battlefield.” Gamespot

  • Red River depicts a fictional conflict with contemporary geopolitical themes, unfolding over three distinct acts in both single player and drop-in-drop-out co-operative play for up to four players online.
  • Faced with new counter-insurgency combat and the returning threat of the Chinese PLA, feel the tension, brutality and carnage of modern conflict from the perspective of a marine fireteam on deployment in a hostile country.
  • Building extensively on the successes of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Red River brings wide-ranging advancements including a deeper narrative-led campaign, streamlined inventory and control system, a refined enemy and squad AI system, player class roles including customisable XP upgrades and loadout choice, close-quarters combat, new air support options and comprehensive tutorials.

Reviews

“…capable, with occasional flashpoints of brilliance.” 7/10 IGN

“…Operation Flashpoint: Red River is a decent first-person shooter with solid shooting mechanics and great emphasis on a tactical approach to the battlefield. However, the single-player campaign is hampered by poor AI that turns challenging missions into frustrating ones, and lackluster graphics sometimes erode the game's realism. If you play the campaign in cooperative mode, though, you will find a well-balanced game that offers satisfaction and reward for overcoming its high level of challenge.” Gamespot
