Electronic Theatre delivers a hands-on preview of Codemasters' forthcoming Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, set to launch on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in October.

Enemy intelligence is directly related to that of real-world properties. Take out one of a number of patrolling guards and the alert will be raised, sprint across a field in open daylight and it’s likely one or two enemies will begin trying – and often succeed - to take you out. While these experiences are commonplace in many modern FPS titles, for every measure of intelligence the enemies are capable of, the player has the necessary equipment and skills to overcome them. The most impressive of which Electronic Theatre has witnessed is the volumetric smoke; not only does it looks gorgeous, but it actually directly affects the vision of not only the player, but the Artificial Intelligence (AI) opponents also.
