Here at Codemasters we’re working hard on Operation Flashpoint Red River. In Red River players embark on a full expeditionary campaign set in the remote and beautiful country of Tajikistan, bordered by China and Afghanistan. A fictional conflict with contemporary geopolitical themes unfolding over three distinct acts, presenting unique challenges which can be experienced in both single player and co-operatively by up to four players online. Dispensing with corny heroics, corridor gun-play and unrealistic set pieces, players deploy real life tactics in a range of new scenarios and against new enemies.
Whether you enjoy sitting down and playing through a compelling storyline, or brutally pushing through the enemy insurgents in a bit of co-op, it’s always satisfying seeing that little popup that lets you know you’ve just unlocked a Trophy. Trophies are your badge of honour, given for performing your best, proof of just how good you are at any given game. So who better to give them a clever name than you, the players! We’d like to get the PlayStation community to put their thinking caps on and name one of our Trophies. The winner not only gets the bragging rights behind the name, but also wins an exclusive t-shirt and a copy of Operation Flashpoint Red River at launch.
Taking part is simple! First think of a cool name for the following Trophy:
“Destroy an enemy vehicle with the FIM-92 Anti Aircraft Weapon”
Then, just head over to the Red River Facebook page and leave a comment with your suggestions before the 17th November. Sion Lenton, Creative Director on Red River, will be sifting through your comments for the most imaginative names, so start thinking! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hey guys, I have a question! I played Dragon Rising on the PS3, but because I wasn’t familiar with military lingo I wasn’t too sure what all the formations and such meant. Can we expect a better way of communicating this with players?
Anyhow, now I need to think up a trophy name :).
One thing that we’re trying to do with Operation Flashpoint: Red River is make the game more accessible (not dumbing it down!) to players new to the series. To aid in this the game will come with a full and detailed in-game tutorial to help ease new players into the game and familiarise themselves with the controls, how to best utilise your fireteam etc.
