A World First preview of Operation Flashpoint: Red River is contained in the pages of the all-new Official Xbox Magazine - and the publication is impressed with what it's seen.
The title's name was outed yesterday by CVG - but very few further details are known, save an approximate 2011 release date.
However, OXM - which is with some subscribers today and in stores next week in the UK - has seen the game, and believes it's a "tighter", "more focused" games than predecessor Dragon Rising.
"Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising was tremendously ambitious, but struggled to deliver," OXM editor Jon Hicks told CVG.
"So we were pleased to see that the sequel is a tighter, more focused game that's nevertheless still striving for a more realistic recreation of warfare."
Dragon Rising got a decent critical reception on its release back in October, 2009 - but some of you had issues with it.
It won the admiration of PC Zone and went Top Five in the UK Chart.
