This 1st person shooter makes a new era in this kind of games. Maybe not so graphically espectacular as Medal of Honor or similars, but with realistic ballistics and weapons.
A single shot at 1000m can kill you and the weight of ammo and weapons is limited, so you can not behave as a Bradley tank as you do in MOHAA, for example.
The enviroment is very big, with a tactical use of maps and obstacles, and there is not so much pleople as in other shooters.
You can manage a wide range of infantry weapons, including RPG or LAW grenade launchers, guided AA and AT missiles, machine guns, and a wide range of vehicles, including M-60, M1A1, T-55, T72 tanks BMP or Bradley ATVs (nice realistics, but it is NOT a tank simulator), or helicopters (poorly realistic).
As a complement ther are some cars and even a bus, useful for ambientation.
This is not an arcade, is nearer a tactical trainer for an officer academy...
It comes with 3 campaigns, the original one for Western forces, Resistance (Nice Anti-soviet Propaganda exercise) and Red Hammer (A really shame if you are not an US citizen).
If you want to use this game as a soviet-eastern-block soldier, better make your own missions with the editor.
The editor has 2modes, one simple an manageable and the otherreally comprehensive but difficult to manage.

I like this game. it's pretty good. if your have a laptop try to get a mouse because useing the toutch pad reallt sucks when playing this game. overall good game

OPERATION FLASHPOINT WORKES VERY WELL ON WINDOWS VISTA. THE GRAPHICS ARE DATED ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE HUMAN FIGURES ARE GROSSLY DISTORTED.I WISH I HAD NOT BOUGHT THE GAME.

Looked like a good game,but it was hard to load. I have the newest and greatist gadgets on my computer and still
had to mess with a lot of stuff. then when I finally got the game. Too much hype, I have seen better games
at Half Price Bookstore for $5.00,then this one! Again too much hype,pass................
