Codemasters has announced that the first Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising downloadable content - the 'Skirmish' pack - will be available for PC November 5th, bundled with a title update patch.

Title Updates for the console editions of the tactical shooter will arrive prior to the launch of the 'Skirmish' DLC pack on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network. The Title Update for the Xbox 360 edition of the game will be available November 5th, with the Title Update for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system edition to follow shortly.

The 'Skirmish' DLC features four new multiplayer maps and two new Fire Team Engagement (FTE) missions featuring both solo and four player co-operative play. Hunt down SAM launchers hidden in the sprawling complex of 'Lumberyard' and assault dug in PLA forces and fight room to room in 'White Fang', two tense new 'Infiltration' multiplayer maps. 'Annihilation' multiplayer maps pitch armour and infantry against each other in rolling battles across a valley in 'Stomping Grounds' and in 'Force Dispersal' military bases separated by a strategic hill become a close-quarters killing ground.
