How is Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising?

Hey guyz i was just seeing what your opinions on the game was....i was looking for a new FPS to buy and this looked pretty good.....should i pick it up or save up some extra cash and go with BF:BC2? but please do give me your opinions on Dragon Rising before just recomending BF........

thanks :)

They are two same genres with diffferent goals. In BFBC 2 it's a squad based game, meaning teamwork is involved. Also, it's not as fast paced as MW2. OFDR is a game where stealth and tactical styles are key. When playing singleplayer you can't just start running and gunning your way through because you will either get killed or ambushed. You have to plan missions. In multiplayer, it's the same thing, you need to be tactical. But it won't be fast paced.

do you know if OFDR still has a pretty strong livecommunity?

Not so sure about the Xbox 360 version but on the PC I noticed there is always a game to play. I am sure the communtiy is still "alive". Anyway, if you want to know which game to get first you need to know your play style in fps games.
