Operation Flashpoint: Red River will be released in the UK on April 21 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, Codemasters has announced.

The publisher also released a new gameplay video which introduces the game’s conflict in Tajikistan from the perspective of Corporal Ryan Balletto.

As an Auto Rifleman in Fireteam Bravo, Balletto is equipped with a M249 Squad Automatic Weapon(SAW), perfect for suppressing enemy positions. Combined with the other specialist members – Scout, Rifleman and Grenadier – Balletto forms part of the USMC fireteam unit.

Check out the new gameplay video here.

The week ending April 22 – games are hitting stores on Thursday, April 21 because of Good Friday – is looking like a three-way fight between Valve’s Portal 2, Warner’s Mortal Kombat and Codemasters’ Operation Flashpoint. SEGA’s Wii shooter, Conduit 2, also arrives that week. Our money’s on Portal 2 coming out on top.
