Developer Codemasters is dishing out more Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising content on the morrow with the release of an expansion pack and a patch for all three platforms.
The expansion, dubbed “Skirmish,” delivers four new multiplayer maps, of which includes two Infiltration mode maps -- the so-called sizeable complex, Lumberyard, and White Fang -- as well as two new Annihilation mode maps: the rolling green of Stomping Grounds and base-heavy Force Dispersal.
The DLC also adds two new Fire Team Engagement missions called All Round Defense and Uphill Struggle. The teaser above should give you a sense of the mean helicopter, base-capturing awesomeness of these new FTEs, we’re sure.
In the official release, Codemasters went skimpy with the details of the upcoming downloadable band-aid, the patch, but its mentioned that it was created because of pissed off consumers like you (and members of their message board).
The “Skirmish” DLC is a 400 Microsoft Points download over Xbox LIVE, a $3.99 purchase over PSN, and free for the PC.
SP is pretty short, bt enjoyable. Co-Op is awesome. MP is a laggy mess of crap that the patch was supposed to fix, but failed to do so on the xbox 360.
Not to mention all this stuff in the DLC was supposed to be in the orignal release.
And the PC version has the mission editor and gets the DLC for free.
