The \u2018<strong>Shifting Focus\u2019<\/strong> video focuses on the narrative behind the game and explains how the Marines must adapt to a rapidly escalating combat situation. The video is now showing at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/flashpointredriver\">www.facebook.com\/flashpointredriver<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Shifting Focus\u2019 video shows how the mission for the Marines in Tajikistan turns into a far more dangerous flashpoint than they could have imagined. After initially embarking on a campaign to quell a destabilising insurgency that threatens American interests, they must now take on the People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA) of China which seeks to stake its claim as \u201cthe preeminent military authority in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The in-game footage demonstrates how the might of the PLA, with vehicles, air support and state of the art weapons, presents a wholly different tactical challenge from insurgent fighters waging war from the shadows. \u201cNow the men pointing the guns and artillery at the Marines have uniforms. They are organised and centralised. The PLA wield undeniable might in Tajikistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marines are shown engaging the PLA at close quarters, long range and in deadly night battles as they are \u201cconfronted by a foe equal in technology but vastly superior in numbers.\u201d The PLA are disciplined, determined and well-equipped. It is not the war the Marines wanted but the war they must fight, and they must reassess and adapt in order to survive.\u00a0<strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Operation Flashpoint: Red River <\/em><\/strong>will set a new standard for authentic and intense tactical combat when it arrives on 21<sup>st<\/sup> April in Australia &amp; New Zealand for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft\u00ae, PLAYSTATION\u00ae3 computer entertainment system and Games For Windows\u00ae LIVE.
