Operation Flashpoint Red River Trailer
Codemasters today revealed the teaser trailer for Operation Flashpoint: Red River, the all-new chapter in the tactical shooter series coming Q2 2011. Now showing at www.facebook.com/flashpointredriver, the live action video features Johnny Cash’s classic ‘The Man Comes Around’ and sets the tone for the game. The Facebook page will also deliver briefings straight from the Studio along with news on the forthcoming gameplay reveal video, due next week.
Today’s teaser trailer reveals the creative direction for Operation Flashpoint: Red River. Taking viewers to the new setting of Tajikistan, two CH 53E Super Stallion helicopters carrying US Marines swoop along the Vakhsh River, showing the beautiful and epic landscapes which will become bloody battlegrounds in a deadly flashpoint. As one Marine films the unfolding action on his digital video camera, hostiles attack the helicopters, forcing evasive action and return fire from the rear gunners.
Inside the transports, the full fireteam – Grenadier, Scout, Rifleman and Automatic Rifleman – prepare for combat. Wearing battle-worn kit with field modifications, the Marines go through their own personal routine – checking weapons are locked and loaded, praying with Rosary beads or listening to music on their MP3 player. Every Marine gets ready for war their own way. The video concludes as the fireteam are inserted into the combat zone. For the Marines, this flashpoint is about to turn hot.
“Our goal is to take gamers as close to the experience of being a US Marine as possible, in both single-player and co-op,” said Sion Lenton, Creative Director, Operation Flashpoint: Red River. “From the tactics Marines use to the weapons they deploy and even the way that they interact with each other, this objective is core to everything that goes in the game. It’s this laser focus that ensures Red River will stand apart from tired corridor shooters and immerse players in a rewarding, tactical theatre of war.”

Blizzard Looking To Bring Diablo Experience To Consoles
Blizzard Entertainment is known for crafting some of the most diverse and well thought-out worlds in the gaming community. According to a recent job posting available on their website, Blizzard could be bringing their upcoming point and click dungeon crawler Diablo III to consoles. The last entry in the series – Diablo II, released in 2000, sold over 4 million units.
This would not be Blizzard’s first entry to console gaming. In 2002 they announced an expansion to the Starcraft Universe for all current gen consoles. Starcraft Ghost went through several delays and was eventually put on ‘indefinite hold’.
Earlier this afternoon Blizzard did reveal that they are looking to bring a ‘diablo like experience’ to console gamers and that this effort will not delay the current progress on Diablo III for the PC and Mac. Diablo III is expected to ship for those two platforms sometime in 2011.
Below you can read the full job description as it appeared on Blizzard’s community website.
"Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a talented and experienced designer for the Diablo team. This position involves setting design direction for a team, as well as contributing heavily to game design. The ideal candidate has prior experience in console game development, proven experience in game design, an exceptional aptitude for critical thinking and analysis, outstanding people skills, boundless creativity, a strong visual aesthetic, extensive knowledge of Diablo, and a longstanding passion for playing games."

Breach Pulls the Trigger
Atomic Games, a developer of simulations for US military and intelligence agencies and a pioneer in military action games, is getting ready to show off the firepower that players will use to crush their opponents. All of these weapons will be available when Breach comes out in early 2011 for Xbox LIVE Arcade.
Every real-world weapon in Breach has its own physics baked into the engine to provide combat authenticity. Each weapon is a true replica of what is used every day on the battlefield by both the US and the opposition, including many weapons not included in other shooters, which have been licensed by their manufacturers for use in Breach. These weapons can also be outfitted with attachments such as scopes and suppressors. With each caliber firing from each weapon differently, and destroying cover as it would in real life, survival depends on knowing the right weapon to use in every situation.
Breach introduces weapons that are rarely, if ever, seen in other games such as the IAR, the Infantry Automatic Rifle, is the future weapon of the automatic rifleman. Designed to improve maneuverability and speed, it is set to replace the M240 as the default light machine gun of the USMC. For those looking for closer firepower the Saiga-12 is a semi-automatic shotgun, which allows users to fire multiple shotgun rounds without manually reloading. Based on the AK platform, it is extremely reliable and can be customized with a wide variety of optics.
As a first of its kind, the Adaptive Combat Rifle redefines modularity, can fire multiple calibers with a quick change, and has a free-floating top rail for accuracy and to mount a variety of optics. For those looking for long range, the TPG-1 is a modular high precision rifle designed for special military and law enforcement operations. It uses a box magazine feed system and has a rail system that allows for multiple optic configurations.
