About this game
Skira is a lovely little island in the Pacific Ocean just north of Japan and was always the center of many conflicts because of its strategic value.
Sadly, nice beaches and crystal blue water isn't the only thing Skira has to offer.

After the second world war, the Russians managed to gain control over the island and found a huge oil deposit of a size similar to the ones in the middle east.
No one cared at first but China's economy grew and grew and with it their need for oil.
Then the recession hit.
China's manufacturing industry was especially affected and civil unrest got stronger and stronger bringing the country closer and closer to a civil war.
Because of these riots the National People's Army guarding the Russian border under the lead of General Zhang was put on high alert, further increasing the tension between China and the international community.
As Russia was preparing for the worst-case-scenario, General Zhang suddenly invaded Skira saying that the island is the rightful historical property of China.
Since Russia is too busy preparing for a possible war against China on the ground, they ask the USA for assistance in regaining control over the island.
Soon afterwards UH-10 Black Hawks are sighted over Skira and in one of those helicopters: the player.
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is an action-orientated military-simulation.
The player moves through the mission areas in a typical first-person-shooter fashion and has to fulfill certain objectives like blowing up a generator or taking out anti-air-guns in order for the invasion to move along.
But since realism plays an important part in this game, the player can't just walk up to the enemy base and shoot everyone.
Instead he and his three squad-mates have to use the different stances like crouching and couching to move from cover to cover in different formations and think before a bullet is fired or in short: the player needs to take a tactical approach in order to not end up dead in the high grass.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2009.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
