North of Japan, Skira Island is a place mired in centuries of conflict. First colonized by China in 1409, the isolated island has seen centuries of conflict, and has been a disputed territory since World War II ended.

Officially, it falls under the sovereignty of the Russian Federation, but a U.S. and Japanese presence has been there following the discovery of extremely rich oil fields.

The Year is 2010, and China's thirst for oil has become insatiable. On September 23rd at 0800 hours, under the guise of ensuring his people's prosperity, General Zheng ordered an airborne division of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) to execute a lightning invasion, claiming Skira Island and it's rich oil fields for the People's Republic.

Following months failed emergency peace-talks, the Russian Federation requested U.S. military support. On May 12th, 2011, the USMC answered the call. If swift victory can be achieved on Skira Island, perhaps a full-scale Russo-Chinese war can be avoided. "Are you ready?"

The original OFP aimed to be a true military simulator, and directly lead to the eventual development of the ArmA series. Although it shares part of its name with the original, Dragon Rising takes a slightly different tack. While it still places a high premium on realism and immersion [e.g. bullet-drop, speed-of-sound modeling, no revives, etc.], Codemasters also considered balance, performance, and general playability when making some decisions. Although we've yet to play it, the pace and style of Dragon Rising appears to have a mix of CoD4 and Project Reality.

OFP:DR features single-player, mutli-player and 4-player coop-campaign game modes. The gamplay spreads over 85 square miles of island. The environment appears to be a primary character in the game, featuring 25 mile view distances, 24-hour cycles, geo-accurate flora, and an incredibly immersive visual and auditory presentation.
