Bought this title a month ago, on a whim. Not a fan of Codemasters titles. I think their a poor mans version of BI studio's. I struggled with this game for 2 weeks. Thinking it was a poor substitute for ARMA. But as I struggled. I found myself liking it's little things. It's not a great game. But it does have it's moments. Like ARMA it's hard to pick up. But once you get beyond it's flaws and play it. It's suddenly becomes hard to put down. I would suggest this to people who, have tired of the mainstream shooter market. And want to move down a more intelligent path. Keep up the good work Codemasters. You haven't beaten BI studios yet. But you may become a worthy opponent yet

I'm one of the rare few who enjoyed Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising, and also enjoyed this instalment. It is great to get away from the normal everyday first person shooter, and get a bit more realism into gaming shooters. I would not hesitate to recommend this game to anyone, and it is a worthy addition to my collection.

realistic warfare at its best operation flashpoint was slightly better but red river is good it puts you right in to the war zone where one shot can kill you so you have to be observant to your whereabouts and ensure you place your team in the right places to wipe out the enemy if you buy this then make sure you buy the first game as well both worth the cost
