10 Best Military Simulators: No Toy Soldiers

2: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

The competing product to Bohemia Interactive’s spiritual successor Armed Assault, the official successor to the 2001 OFP wasn’t very warmly greeted by fans and critics alike. While ArmA sure also had it’s share of problems, it was still seen as a game with its heart in the right place, whereas this second Operation Flashpoint was received rather badly, especially since it seemed bloodless, pale and even more bug ridden than the already problematic ArmA. However over time the bugs were fixed and the game got a lot more playable, selling some more copies and eventually getting expansion packs and another sequel – which was also received rather badly.
