Afin d’éviter la concurrence, le CEO de Codemasters a décidé de sortir Operation Flashpoint: Red River entre avril et juin 2011 :
« I don’t think it does any good to publish in a congested period when everyone’s putting out their shooters. A number of leading companies have their fiscal year ends around that time, and so they’ll be firing heavyweights in terms of their product releases to give as much boost to their fiscal year end as they possibly can. That’s not a window I want to go out in. It will be between 1st April and the end of June. »
– Rod Cousens, CEO de Codemasters
