Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising network patch on its way
The last we heard of a DLC pack for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising was a few weeks ago but recent reports suggest that new content isn’t the only thing that will be released. If you’ve been playing the game online you’ve probably already made note of the choppy gameplay but Codemasters hopes to remedy that with a patch that will be released at the same time as the first DLC pack.
There’s no official confirmation as to when this patch will be released, along with the DLC, but according to Codemasters it will make online gameplay “flow a bit better”.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising DLC hinted
Codemasters‘ Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising only just hit store shelves on October 6th but according to the game’s Executive Producer, Sion Lenton, that is only the beginning:
“It’s a really different type of market now; I remember five or six years ago, you’d get a game, finish it, put it back on the shelf and that was it. But now it’s almost as though the game’s release is just the beginning, really. Ours is a game that lends itself very well to expansion – there will be weapons packs, map packs – all sorts of things we can do to get our product out there.”
He then further elaborates on the game’s DLC future:
“We’ve got some very ambitious plans with DLC – our first pack is coming up in a matter of weeks,” Lenton said. “We’ll also have title updates coming up because once the game’s out there, we’ll need to get feedback from the people who are playing it, and if need be make a few adjustments and tweaks.”
So basically, instead of shipping the full game this new market gives developers the tools needed to continue to exploit support gamers for as long as they want.
