OFDR has a 6 hour infantry campaign where every mission is the same, there are no vehicles to drive other than jeeps, no tanks, no attack choppers, no apc's, nothing. You can't explore the island, leave the AO and it's mission failed.

Dragon Rising is NOTHING like the original, other than it uses the words Operation Flashpoint in it's title.

incorrect im afraid all the missions are not the same some of them you play as saber team spec opps some as infantry and yes you can use apc,s ive used them once on the 3rd mission to retake and hold the village and also ive used once on the capture the airfield mission ive put more than six hours into the single player campain allready and id say im about half way through it so i think the six hour statment is rubbish and if you cant use tanks and helos etc why does the manual clearly give you the controls for each one ?? i mean if you cant use any of them what would be the point of that im sure codemasters are not going to put that info in the maual just to take the pee now are they ?? i think a lot of negative stuff that is being thrown around is that some ppl cant play this game and so they want it to fail
