    I must say that the opening mission was ****e, and don't let it put anyone off.

    And for the benefit of Zap:
    THIS GAME IS AWESOME. I really would be annoyed if I couldn't play on it today

    Do they use Royal Mail, if so could the strikes be affecting them ?

    Re: Operation Flaspoint Dragon Rising

    Had a quick go of this on this at a mates. Very pretty(PC version). Lot more polished than ARMA 2 from what I could tell. On the Fun vs. Realism scale it's nudged a little closer to fun than ARMA, but just a little. Felt like a nice balance on the normal settings and there's ways there to push back toward realism if you want, from what I could tell.

    Gonna grab it if I have a few quid spare come payday I think.

    The strikes are in certain areas IIRC so it may just be affecting certain Hexites and not others. Whats the co-op like on this if any one has tried it ?

    I was told the postal strike was London area and Friday (9th), not sure how accurate that is though.
