Keep your propaganda out of my dude-shooters. 
 
 
Also, why would you make a fake Middle Eastern country, and then throw in China as another antagonist?

Just like the first I suspect it tries to be Arma but is too affraid to take that risk. Resulting in a middle of the road game that appeals to no one

Dragon Rising was rally bad I did not like it so my faith in this franchise is not very strong, I hope they redeem themselves with this one.

In my defense, I did not hear Tajikistan. Sounded more like "Jidikistan" or something. So yes, I probably am retarded, but not in the way you meant.

Even for a teaser this is kinda sucky without telling anything but a general timeframe. Ever since that one QL of Buzz! Quiz World I keep thinking of this series as Operation Fashpoint.

Like someone else said, they're probably still too afraid to actually do this thing the way it's supposed to be done. Full on hardcore realism. The people who give a fuck about the OFP and ArmA franchise are people who also play stuff like DCS: Black Shark and who get a semi thinking about no health bars, no crosshair and basically no HUD. And who somewhat loathe "realistic" shooters like CODBLOPS and stuff like that. 
 
There's Hardcore, and then there's HARD ASS CORE. 
To their defense, gunplay in dragon rising was pretty decent. Was some good ranged stuff there, but the game was just so stripped down and crappy. If they'll make a map editor and modding tools and stuff for this, and dedicated servers, and super realism.... They'll launch at a brilliant time for this kind of game. The latest ArmA 2 expansion pack will then be more than a year old, and some people might be tempted to play this until the next ArmA game.
 
You know what.. for a second there I mistook codemasters for a company with a scrotum... Must have lost my mind.

See, I was really burned by Dragon Rising, so I'm very hesitant to give this a chance. Who knows, maybe they'll get it right the second time, but unless they provide for some replayability and (gosh!) actual AI in the enemies this time, I'll stick to ArmAII...

Doesn't look as high quality graphically as I thought, isn't this series trying to compete with Arma? Or is this just another same ol' same ol military shooter, because I'm on overload and will only be buying something labeled Call of Duty or Battlefield.

Whats up with calling marines soldiers? Do some basic research before claiming your game is realistic...

 Nationalist wall-of-text in audio form. Yawn...
 
Unless when I put in Dragon Rising today and a patch shows up that actually makes it into a playable game there will be no way in hell I'll consider buying this.
