Operation Flashpoint: Red River – Taking The Hit Gameplay Video
Codemasters have today released a brand new video for their upcoming first person shooter Operation Flashpoint: Red River. This new video shows some more gameplay footage from the eagerly anticipated addition to the Operation Flashpoint franchise.
The ‘Taking the Hit’ video continues the series of narrative trailers and shows the Marines being forced to fight on the back foot against a huge PLA fighting force.
As the video opens and overwhelming numbers of PLA infantry and armour roll in, the USMC are forced to tactically retreat. “Casualties are a part of war, and the Marines know this well” says our narrator “They have been trained to hit first and hit hardest. But not every campaign goes as planned and there are times when the opposition lands its own crushing blows.”
Battered and bruised, the marines evacuate, giving them time to take stock and assess their next move and “once the appropriate solution has been plotted, these fiery warriors smartly insert themselves back into the battle”. And as the USMC begins to tip the balance back in their favour, it is be the PLA who will have to adapt to survive on the battlefields of Tajikistan.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
