Codemasters released today a new gameplay trailer and screens of Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising featuring the game's battlefield: The island of Skira is a stunningly detailed and beautifully recreated oil-rich island. Fictionally located off the eastern coast of Russia just north of Japan, its rich geological terrain will provide a challenging tactical environment that includes valleys, mountains, coastlines, beaches, villages, industrial complexes and a huge extinct volcano.
Its natural resources and location powers a strong story that opens as an airborne division of the Peoples Liberation Army of China (PLA) lands to claim the island as the sovereign possession of the Peoples Republic. The patrolling amphibious assault ship, USS Iwo Jima, responds by sending a battalion of US Marines and the island becomes a flashpoint where the combined combat assets of two military super powers face off in an epic engagement.
