"The very nature of [Modern Warfare 2], and I mean this in the nicest possible way, is a hyped event. It's kind of like the Michael Bay of videogames. Its budget, its sales, all these kind of things - it is a huge game." Lenton said, before comparing both titles. "I really see Modern Warfare 2 as Hollywood and we're the Cannes, the arty documentary - dare I say the reportage-style thing."
SCRAWL: "Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is out. The game's been putting some heavy impressions on FPS enthusiasts and if you've yet to try it, we highly suggest it. In celebration of the game's recent release, we're giving away five Operation Flashpoint-themed Military Kits."

Heaven Media have announced the first ever competitive tournament for Codemasters' first-person War Simulator, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Released today on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a challenging game in which every bullet counts.
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is modern combat in stunning detail. The game authentically recreates conflict in a 360-degree theatre of war, which enables players to approach objectives from any direction. On this realistic battlefield, where one bullet can kill, players face the fear and mortality felt by soldiers as they are challenged to survive the rapidly evolving situations of battle throughout the game's single and four-player co-op campaign.
Codemasters' "Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising" is now deploying in PAL territories this week, with a new video to celebrate.
