Operation Flashpoint DLC Hits XBox Live

Codemasters has announced that they have released the second downloadable content pack for Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising and that it has hit XBox Live.  In the video below, soldiers are engaged in electrifying combat - deploying a range of military assets from short to long range weaponry, to armor and helicopters, battling for superiority in the new game modes and FTEs.

The “Overwatch” downloadable content extends the unique Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising experience in solo, co-operative and adversarial play.  In the new multiplayer mode, Blindside, the PLA must complete objectives in the shortest time possible while the USMC defends in tense, tactical engagements.  An additional new mode, Supremacy, tasks opposing forces to occupy strategically vital positions featuring force multipliers like gun emplacements and air strikes.

These new multiplayer modes are complimented by two new FTEs.  In Friendly Skies, PLA-anti aircraft artillery prevents U.S. airborne reinforcements from inserting into the combat zone.  Players must remove that threat and then defend the position from a PLA counter attack.  In Hostile Takeover, intel reveals enemy movement in the village of Armudan, a perfect base for launching attacks deep into enemy territory.  Gamers must flush out the PLA, establish a perimeter and hold their ground against a new enemy assault.

This new content is available for 400 Microsoft points.  This content will be making its way onto the Playstation Network as well, however, no time table was given.  The only thing Codemasters would say is “soon”.  Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
