As some of you may now codemasters operation flashpoint series have been canned along with bodycount. I haven't played bodycount myself, but from the trailers, it looks like rubbish. Regarding red river it was doomed from the beginning.. dragon rising had potential, but it ended out into nothing, because a lot were promised but never done. Its totally nuts that dragon rising sold over one million copies while red river only sold 2-3,000 copies. Yesterday I got an pm on my youtube account with a new video from ''redriverchannel''.
What the channel have done is basicly to upload every interview and revealed a lot of lies. Pretty much blows my mind. HOW can someone be this stupid? because everything that is said is lies. What boggles me most is 'This is a sequel to the EXTREMELY popular Operation Flashpoint: Cold war crisis''. Codemasters didnt even develop the first game.
To bad the game was called operation flashpoint. If it was called something else and if it was a diffrent dev team the game would probably be alive today. Because I recently played though dragon rising and it was decent as tactical shooter (but not polished at all) but really bad as operation flashpoint. It did have potential. Its beyond all how its even possible to screw up this much. Its funny how they lost almost one million of sales when they made the game more ''fun''.
Just a sidenote.. there is a lot of internal community humor so it may not be obvious what the meaning of it is.
