Codemasters has just released a playable demo of their open-world military combat shooter. The demo includes the early tutorial missions from the full game and is available in five languages. If you have been holding off buying the game to see how it turns out, this is a great chance to get your boots muddy for free!
Operation Flashpoint, like many MP games, can be awesome when played with friends and other like minded gamers. That is why Tactical Gamer has an active Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising Forum , so be sure to check it out for all the latest news, tips, map packs, and even an x-fire group so you can find other players.
You can grab the demo lots of places, including STEAM and the Big Download PC Gaming website, both of which have very fast downloads.

 Book Review: The Zombie Survival Guide |
|
Nov 08, 2009 - 8:30 PM - by Eroak

Are you ready for Left for Dead 2? I'm not talking about pre-orders and pre-loaded games. I'm talking about zombies. Are you ready for ZOMBIES? Do you know how to effectively incapacitate a zombie? Do you know what you should bring with you? Do you know how to...survive? I'm bringing a simple book review recommend by the Philadelphia zombie underground, best known for the Philadelphia zombie crawl events and other high profile zombie events and parties. More at http://phillyzombiecrawl.com/ & http://grendelsden.net/. The book 'The Zombie Survival Guide' is the book in review today. This book was released in Sept 2003 and is held in most notable book stores and on-line websites for $13.95 USD. The book is fictional and falls under the genre of humor. As you see, the zombie genius is Max Brooks, a professional zombie survivalist.
The reason I bring this book to TG is one simple fact, realism. How are zombies real? Its not the zombies but the tactics set forth in the book that you would use to survive, defend yourself, use transportation, and other areas that you'll need to know. Max brings to light the real concerns you'd face if you were put into the middle of a epidemic of infected zombies. What tools do you use? What weapons are practical? What buildings make good bunkers? What makes a zombie tick? blowguns to mini guns, gas to c4, and even Katanas. All weapon choices are explored. A simple house and how to defend it to a fully reinforced concrete fallout bunker and its weaknesses are brought to view. Did you know a simple bicycle might be a better choice than a military hummer? Why would a M-1 Carbine be better than a M-16 for zombie removal? All of these questions can be answered with this book.
I'm the last person to pick up any book, I suffer bad dyslexia and getting into books are hard for myself. This book is so well thought out it was worth dealing with the issues. There are tactics inside that can be applied to many life & death cases. I gets your gears thinking, 'Why didn't I think of that?' and 'That makes complete sense'. If you... [Read More]

Bad Company 2 PC beta in December and multiplayer demo in early 2010 |

Bad Company 2 PC beta in December and multiplayer demo in early 2010. Scheduled for release for the 2nd march US and 5th march Euro
From The Battlefield Blog
EA/DICE posted this regarding the Upcoming addition to its popular Battlefield franchise.
Quote:
"Coming December, we will invite players to participate in a PC open beta. Then, early next year, all players worldwide will get to experience this premier shooter when we releases a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer DEMO on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on March 2, 2010 in North America and March 5, 2010 in Europe for the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC."

Please note: As of today there is no official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta and EA/DICE wants to warn people out there of fake/hoax sites perpetrating to have a sign-up for one. So, unless you read it here or from the official battlefield Twitter page it isn't real.
Hopefully some members of TG can get in on the beta of Bad Company 2. EA/DICE has been making some great moves to remove the fears of the PC community generated by the recent MW2 server announcment and subsequent boycott. The Multiplayer demo will be the final piece as to the game acceptance here at TG as it will hopefully confirm the numbers of players in multiplayer modes. The TG Battlefield community has expressed a concern over some reports of low player counts although nothing from DICE has explicitly confirmed or denied any such reports. Personally, I believe it will be higher from news I've gleaned from EA/DICE blog posts and comments. Only time will tell.
Over all, this comes as great news for battlefield fans at TG. At long last, we will be getting our hands on a long awaited addition to the battlefield franchise.
