Summary: Real, more real, OP-flashpoint
Review: Friends, everyone who played half-life, UT or some MOD's of this games, searched only for one thing: the most real game ever!

U found it: OP-Flashpoint!

In this game U have to be very careful. U must play WITH your team. One man only is nothing, the team is everything. If your R not sure, than play the Demo. It's great.

Have a nice day and fun!

Summary: High Quality Product
Review: When i first heard of Operation Flashpoint i thought to myself, "yeah probably another one of those lame shooters..." But, i tried downloading the demo and let me tell you, this game is the best shooter game ever released on pc. As a gamer and an owner of many shooter games, i thought this game was incredible! try it yourself and download the demo. i played this game over...and over...again and each time it turns out different. The game's details are amazing. Graphics are not the best and could be improved but the game itself is just beautiful...try it!

Summary: This Game/Sim Hits Center Mass
Review: I am currently in the U.S. Army and I must say that somebody at Codemasters/Bohemian interactive really knows what they're doing. As an avid FPS gamer I was drawn to the demo, but as a soldier I found it incredibly an deeper and more satisfying play than anything I've played previously (yes, Counterstrike included!)

My specific job requires me to know military equipment, and the models in the demo look like they came from right out of Jane's. This is real hardware, people; the T72 even has the fuel canisters in the back and the fording snorkel on the side. (I gotta try and shoot those fuel canisters one of these days ;))

The infantry in the game is also realistically modeled: you can't run forever with an M16, 4 magazines, 5 grenades, a steel helmet (we didn't have the kevlar helmet yet back then) and all your battle-rattle on and not run out of breath! Also, it may just be my imagination but I think you have to lead your shots ever-so-slightly for those long-range kills.

Don't let all this realism scare you; the game is still a blast to play. I've played it five times now (twice was all it took for me to pre-order) and it's never played out the same way twice. Sometimes the op's been smooth as silk, other times, it's only been me and one other soldier (usually the medic) who makes it to the pick-up at the end. You execute the op wondering what chance has in store for you, just like in real life. It's pure tension.

I was debating on giving the game 4 stars, due to the slightly longer but still forgiving learning curve on the game (particularly the clumsy menu-driven way in which you perform non-combat actions) However, seeing as how it's a pre-release demo, I decided to give it the beneift of the doubt. Hopefully the controls will be a little more intuitive with the final release.

P.S. A seemingly little-known feature that my fellow servicemembers haven't seemed to mention yet is the optics feature in the game: Press 'V' (default key) and you will actually look through the sights of whatever weapon you are holding, and you will see the REAL sight picture of an M16A2, PK7, what have you! It's a nice touch and it actually does make aiming easier.

Summary: Pure awesome!
Review: This game is awesome it combines the terrain of the Delta Force Series and the realisticness of Rogue Spear. All the keys are simple to memorize and the fighting is tough. It is really cool because you can tell your soilders to hide in bushes and the AI are very skillfull. Also when tanks and soilders shoot at night you can actually see flashes of lights. Operation Flashpoint is a fun and challenging game. I recomend this is everyone!

Summary: it's gonna be a hot one....................
Review: I have downloaded the demo in a belief, that "here we go, another brainless shoot up game, a la IGI or SOF. Well, i have already pre-ordered this game. That's how good this is. This is my first game i ever pre-ordered and i have been playing pc games since '93. I'm also a veteran of US Army. Let me tell you non-veteran people, it will only get more realistic if i could listen to my own breathing and my running footsteps, have sweat drops running down on my forehead, the smell of gunpowder and the air ripping shockwave of the T72 main gun , which will shake you down and make you run like you never ran before.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Realistic
Review: As an ex-Marine and a Gulf War vet I know a little about combat. This game could be used to teach small unit tactics. The only thing really missing is the smell. The way the AI utilizes Soviet bloc tactics in the demo is superb. I almost had to dig up some of my old military manuals to remember the "soft spots" on the armored vehicles in order to stop them! I couldn't believe it when the offloaded enemy infantry reacted differently every time I played the demo. Not only did they react differently every time I changed my tactics, but they reacted effectively and according to standard Soviet style doctrine. Somebody put some serious thought into designing this game and I tend to put some serious time into playing it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best FPS's i've ever played!
Review: This is game is amazing, you can play it over and over again without getting fed-up with it. Also, the learning curve is only about 30min to an hour (depends on how much you play Videogames) also the graphics are great. You can see your hands steer the cars, and your feet press the accelrator (does anyone use the brake in videogames?) The best of the game is the realism, remeber when (with enough shots from a pistol) you could take out a tank in a game (delta force), in this game if you don't have a rocket launcher you run like hell cause you'll be dead in a matter on seconds if you take on a tank. This is just one example of the realism in this awesome game. A MUST BUY FOR MILITARY FREAK OR FPS FAN!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This game is amazing
Review: The demo is one great demo. This game is phenominal. It comes real close to actually fighting in battle. You have amazing options and can do whatever you want. You can take the weapons of the people that you kill. You could also take vehicles and drive them around. This is one great game.
