OpFlash: Dragon Rising 'Overwatch' DLC Announced

Spicing things up today, Codemasters has announced that they're working on a second DLC pack for their hit tactical shooter, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Entitled 'Overwatch', this latest DLC will offer two new multiplayer modes, along with new Fire Team Engagement missions. Here's the scoop:

The ‘Overwatch’ DLC extends the unique Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising experience in solo, co-operative and adversarial play. In new multiplayer mode Blindside the PLA must complete objectives in the shortest time possible while the USMC defends21cc in tense, tactical engagements. An additional new mode, Supremacy, tasks opposing forces to occupy strategically vital positions featuring force multipliers like gun emplacements and air strikes.

These new multiplayer modes are complimented by two exhilarating new FTEs. In Friendly Skies, PLA anti-aircraft artillery prevents US airborne reinforcements inserting into the combat zone. Players must remove that threat and then defend the position from a PLA counter attack. In Hostile Takeover, intel reveals enemy movement in the village of Armudan, a perfect base for launching attacks deep into enemy territory. Gamers must flush out the PLA, establish a perimeter and hold their ground against a new enemy assault.

Overwatch hits the Xbox 360 today and will be coming to the PC and PlayStation 3 "soon". To help whet our appetite, the developers have released a short teaser trailer. Check it out:
