In case you were underwhelmed by the two new missions offered up for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising as yesterday's official downloadable content, keep your eye out here*. The site should be filling up quickly with missions, because Codemasters and Intel are sponsoring a mission design contest with a fancy new PC as the prize.Players have until November 29th to submit the mission using the Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising mission editor. The community will then rate each submission, with the 12 top rated submissions sent to a panel of judges for final review. These judges, composed of staff from Codemasters, Intel, Games Fed and Turtle Entertainment, will then test and rate the missions to determine the contest winners by January 4, 2010.
The real winners, of course, will be those of us who get all these new missions. Which is to say those of us who play Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising on a PC. The console versions -- which are actually quite nice -- will probably just get more paid DLC instead.
