* FranchiseKiller: ''Red River''. Unlike the first one, ''Dragon Rising'', ''Red River'' took what made the series unique, threw nearly all of it out and turned itself into a generic ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' clone, a move that appealed to fans of neither series, [[ForegoneConclusion so guess how well that went...]] Worse yet, ''Red River'' doubled as a CreatorKiller, since Codemasters promptly [[http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/62139/Codemasters-Shuts-Down-Guildford-Studio-Known-For-Operation-Flashpoint closed down its Guildford studio]] after the game's failure. Meanwhile, OFP's original creators are still going strong with their ''{{ARMA}}'' series, apparently being the winner in the DuelingGames affair they had with the Codemasters' SpiritualSuccessor.
