The video introduces Sergeant William Kirby and is cut with gameplay footage showing the Marines in action in Tajikistan. Kirby assesses the reality of war on the ground, as the insurgents become \u201cdesperate for blood\u201d and the Chinese enter the conflict with all the makings of a \u201cwild west showdown.\u201d The video shows Marines assaulting dug-in Chinese positions at close-quarters and the threat of PLA armour and air-support \u2013 a contrasting tactical challenge from insurgent guerrilla warfare.<\/p>\n

The war causes Kirby to reflect on why he does what he does: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a choice, as much as a calling. I could have had a comfortable life. I could have closed my eyes to the world around me. But that\u2019s not who I am. Because I followed my heart the sons and daughters of the Marines I help save still have a father. Their wives still have a husband. If they want to give me a medal for doing my job, then so be it. But I\u2019m no hero. More than anything else in my life, I am a Marine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sergeant Kirby is both squad leader and Rifleman in the Fireteam. His leadership and combat skills are complimented by the specialities of his teammates \u2013 Grenadier, Auto-Rifleman and Scout. Up to four players can come together in a Fireteam with Operation Flashpoint: Red River\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> drop-in, drop-out co-op play across a substantial campaign mode and standalone Fireteam Engagements.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
