There's an Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising interview on Boomtown chatting with designer Tim Browne about the upcoming military shooter in the works at Codemasters. They discuss what will set the game apart from other shooters, realism and authenticity, vehicles, missions, the sandbox environment, the campaign, capabilities of your squad mates, and more. Also, a new "hardcore mode" developer diary movie is now available on the game's official website. Word is: Where: "Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising's Executive Producer Sion Lenton, Chief Games Designer Tim Browne and Chief Level Designer James Nicholls explain how 'Hardcore Mode' has been developed with fan feedback to deliver the ultimate challenge in the authentic sandbox shooter." The clip is mirrored on ActionTrip and Gamer's Hell. Also, there's a new hands-on preview of the game on IGN.
