Summary: Most open-ended and the mod community is still alive.
Review: I've had Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis since late 2001 and have also since got the expansion packs AND downloaded huge amounts of addons and mods for the game. I still play it. For those who say this game is "old-skool" and it has old-fashioned graphics, obviously care more about graphics and effects than what makes a game a game. Gameplay! Enjoyable, realistic, leaves-you-begging-for-more gameplay! Besides since the latest expansion came out graphics were improved. A professional quality modification called FDF (Finnish Defence Forces) updated the original games sounds and graphics! Many people have said Far Cry is open-ended and lets you do anything you want. Well i must say that its just another shooter. Its so-called "open-endedness" is just a couple more paths through the jungle. You still end up the same place. And you always play the same character. Same goals, "Be the one-man army! Kill the monsters and bad guys and save the world!" PLEASE! Well, you know what i'm getting at. In the user made missions i've downloaded. I've been a civillian fleeing an invasion, a police officer, an FA-18 Hornet pilot, an officer of the Red Army, a Czech soldier... i mean i could go on all night. Theres so many different things. With all this you can overlook any faults this game has. And i'll still be playing this "old-skool" game until Operation Flashpoint 2 comes out because i'm not fooled by fake "open-endedness" and fancy graphics. I'm in it for the gameplay! Medal of Honor and Far Cry and countless others are a blast. But when you've finished them. What? Thats why i play Flashpoint. Its different from those. THAT is what i say.

Summary: Th Greatest FPS Game Ever
Review: One of the greatest, and most realistic shooting game ever. Forget about MOH! Gotto have this one. Never got bored. Unlike other FPS games this one's got:
- a real lifelike graphics
- a huge place that you can use it at your advantage
- fight with anyhting you can find from weapon storages and dead soldiers
- use any kind of vehicles (choppers, humvees, tanks, motocycle, etc)
- command up to 12 men each specialized in different fights (regular infantry, snipers, special ops, etc)
- face the enemy where you decides to fight (unlike other games) like forest, city, mountain, village, etc. (even through water if you can find a boat)
- (best of all) your enemy is AI!If you are online and can communicate with your teammates well this one will make you feel like you're in real battle. I can't wait this winter 2004 when "Operation Flashpoint 2" will come out. You won't be sorry if you buy this one.

Summary: Awesome - esp. for a bargain bin game!!!
Review: This game did not get the popularity or the recognition it deserved. First off, it was one of the first tactical combat FPS simulators where you could actually drive any vehicle, explore endless environments, etc.. and it was released a whole year before some other games that could do the same (BF1942 comes to mind). You can do so much in this game, it's too awesome. Like pick up rifles, ammo, grenades off dead soldiers. You can snipe, assault, drive, use heavy ordinance. It's truly awesome. Also, I picked up a utility off of Fileplanet/Gamespy which allows you to do multiple saves in-mission. This will help alleviate any stress some gamers may feel when they play this game - it feels that real when you pllay it. Cheers!!!

Summary: Great game but not for novices
Review: This game is the most realistic war simulation game I've have played to date. You really feel like you are in the heat of combat and unlike Allied Assult you can get killed by your third hit. This can become frustrating at times but it make you play better and forces you to learn tactics. The graphics are good and you have many missions to complete. An added bonus is you can drive trucks, tanks, jeeps,cars and fly in this game. The interface is much more detailed them most games because you have to control a squad (up to 11 soldiers-avg is 5) is some missions by giving them detailed orders. This might put some people off who just want to play an arcade style game like allied assult. If you want a real simulation type game get this game or Vietcong. Besides since you get 3 games for 30 bucks you are getting well over a 100 hours of game time.

Summary: SWEET GAME
Review: This is by far the best FPS out there. I've played Alien Versus Predator 2 Ghost Recon Medal Of Honor but this is by far the best. It's extremely realistic. the game includes the original and both expansion packs. THe graphics kick and the weapons are sweet. WHen u play the game you actually feel like ur in the military. you got ur captain yelling u orders bullets zipping by and tanks being destroyed. Best FPS out there.

Summary: infinitely replayable
Review: You can download missions online that other guys took time to script, many are well done. If you are into realism and decent AI, this game and ghost recon are the best of the best. The only minor flaw of this game is that controlling vehicles is awkward to say the least.
