Codemasters has announced the next patch for the PC version of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will be released tomorrow.
It will include a range of multiplayer fixes and the content from the Overwatch DLC pack.
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising launched back in 2009, bringing the realistic military operations to console for the first time.
Seeing as EA now own this franchise wouldn't it make sense for DICE to develop a new Operation Flashpoint game? Battlefield has realism to a certain extent but it isn't exactly "real"
COG writes: Every month, two armies stand in a field and stare at each other in an intimidating manner. A battle royale ensues. Sony and Microsoft stand at arm's length from each other, slapping each other with white gloves in a distinguished fashion. Actually, they just give away free games. Which lineup rules the roost in December 2015? Let's turn to the tale of the tape.
I am thinking EVERYONE wins. Whether the games are great or mediocre, they are downloadable with your console online service of choice and give you some value, and even more gameplay time. YAY to games.
Van Helsing and Sacred are better than anything the PS4 is getting.
Lol Sony is giving us an episode of a game (something that Telltale routinley gives out for free), and a game that has been part of a $3 bundle on the PC.
Having said that, I expected more from both as a Christmas present.
Still, Gold takes it hands down seeing as how all Gold games can now be played on the XBONE.
Lol freedom wars alone is better than everything xbox one is offering this month
I agree with you, BUT I can't play Freedom Wars on my PS4 now can I? I have played the heck out of it on my Vita and love having a digital copy now...
Having said this, the Xbox One got MUCH more and better games than the PS4. PS4 owners petty much got kicked in the balls this time around.

LOL at the guy trying to justify to himself why his decision to buy an xbox one was worth it. If you like the xbox, fine....enjoy. But don't come here trying to make it sound like the xbox is "winning" something. You sound silly.
I have all 3 consoles and a PC. I'm a gamer and not a fanboy like most people here seem to be.
Just calling things as I see them.
Soon Xbox Live subscribers will have access to a new set of free games they can play on their Xbox 360s or Xbox Ones.
Castlestorm was already free on the XB1, so that is a wash, but I am pleased with the other titles! I have been dying to play Sacred 3 (even though I hear it is pretty bad) because I thoroughly enjoyed Sacred 2. I have been wanting to play Thief as well. All of these are games I have wanted to try, but didn't really want to buy, so this list works out great for me!
Actually I have heard the opposite on Sacred 3, in that its actually pretty decent. Thief in the same boat, and I am happy to pick that up. Not sure I really care about Van Hellsing... Have the Xbox One version of Castlestorm already. Operation Flashpoint also peaks my interest but I know it was middling in terms of reviews when it came out. Overall decent finish to the year.
Sacred 3 has extremely bad user rating on Metacritic and Steam. I haven't played it yet, but I'm guessing who ever told you it was decent lied.
I enjoy the Operation Flashpoint games. You have to be much more patient & realistic in your approach. Fans of run & gun shooters won't like it. More strategic.
Sacred 2 had not so great ratings, and I loved that game. So I will give it the benefit of the doubt hehe ;).
Hey sacred 3 is mp I don't mind givin it a go. GWG value is way better when they first started. They cheaped out on it when it first started. Glad we're gettin 4 free games with BC.
@Kiwi For December only? Or is 5 games what they're doing from this point on?
Absolutely nothing about Sacred 3 is decent.
They did nobody a favour by promoting this bad bad game as one of the free ones in December.
Van Hellsing is also only pretty mediocre.For December this is weak.
Every month it's a bunch of games I have no interest in playing.
These aren't deals. There is a reason nobody is buying those games. Giving them away for free isn't going to help.
Free is free I guess though.
Are you the guy the decides what's good for everyone? Or are you suffering from delusions of grandeur? Pick one.
It's not a wash for those that don't have an X1 yet, which is about 70 million 360 users..
Loved Thief, very underrated and will check out Van Helsing, it's a top down game like Diablo, IIRC.

Replies(1)Damn MS, really good stuff. I like that they are reaching for bigger games, not just indies. Always wanted to try Thief and will definitely get Operation Flashpoint.
They should have ended the year with a bang. Just cause 2 and fallout 3 for the Xbox 360. Maybe ryse and sunset overdrive for the Xbox one. Only game that I'm somewhat interested in is operation flashpoint which is probably not as good as the arma series.
Seeing both JC2 and F3 are pre-order bonuses, i highly doubt they would give them away anytime soon. OF is definitely a more approachable title than Arma. Thief is a bit underwhelming though.
Id say thief is a step in the right direction.
Start giving away low rated AAA releases, I'm down with that. I usually find myself most entertained by lower review scores, as long as the games not broken.
I think this game released too close to the beggining of this generation, when our expectations for a next gen game were extremely high.
Fallout 3 wasn't a preorder bonus. I bought fallout 4 digitally through the Xbox a few days after it launched and just got the code messaged to me for fallout 3 last week. Might have been a preorder bonus at retail though but the game listing on the Xbox store still indicates you get a copy of FO3
Lmfao I got just cause 2 on Xbox one from previous games with gold as well as gears of war 3 from the 360. Fallout 3 from pre ordering fallout 4. They just appeared on my uninstalled games list.
Multiplayer rules in Operation Flashpoint.
Good to see the PC gamers get the updates, eventually.
Free DLC included and a load of multiplayer fixes? I'm all for it.
Shame the console users had to pay for what PC gamers get for free.
