Gaming News - July 2002
New York, NY (July 11, 2002) - Codemasters
today announced that it has shipped Operation Flashpoint: Resistance, the
official expansion pack for Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis. Resistance not only adds additional missions, but also improves
the graphics engine and gameplay of the original game. Operation Flashpoint: Resistance
is currently available at retail outlets nationwide for an SRP of $29.99.
From Codemasters:
In addition to the massive new campaign, new single player missions, new island
and improved network code, Resistance delivers more realistic terrain via its
greatly enhanced graphics engine with support for higher-resolution textures,
additional lighting effects and greatly increased draw distances. With even more
accurately detailed scenery to take cover behind when in combat, Resistance is
the most realistic combat simulation to date. With Resistance, mountainous
surfaces appear smoother and more organic, and the way trees and foliage are
drawn in the game has been completely reworked to give a far more realistic
effect. There are also some new special effects included for players to discover
as they work through the game.
From Bohemia Interactive Studio, the creators of Operation Flashpoint: Cold War
Crisis, comes Operation Flashpoint: Resistance, the official expansion pack.
Launching on July 11, with a SRP of $29.99, this full expansion to the ultimate
realistic war simulator introduces a new island environment with remarkable
high-resolution textures and models to take full advantage of the latest 3D
graphics cards.
Expanding the Flashpoint universe, Operation Flashpoint: Resistance creates an
additional 100km2 island complete with varied locations from industrial-style
buildings to rolling landscape scenery. Requiring the original game to play,
Operation Flashpoint: Resistance immerses players in a new campaign, with
intriguingly different play style, that forms a prequel to the original game’s
plot and is set years before Operation Flashpoint’s Cold War hit crisis point.
Playing as a resistance leader Victor Troska, the game offers a unique
experience as gamers scavenge for weapons and equipment to fight back against
invading Soviet forces. The new resource carry-over system means every weapon,
vehicle and man saved will be available in the next mission, enabling players to
build up a militia army capable of repelling a powerful and deadly enemy.
In addition to the new campaign, the expansion offers 5 new single missions and
9 new multiplayer missions as well as enhanced network code, incorporating an
in-game server browser system and completely overhauled communication code for
better multiplayer performance. Operation Flashpoint: Resistance requires the
original game to play and is set to launch on July 11th for PC CD-ROM with a SRP
of $29.99 (ELSPA Age Rating: 15+).
