Missions are being built and there’s already World War II and Vietnam mods being built as you read this. There’s scope for all sorts of scenarios. I messed around with the Mission Builder, not that I’m any good at building Missions, but this game could get me interested. There’s so many games around where this is not an option. I was delighted to see the option of being able to disable subtitles. Once you select your Name, the Options, Mission Editor and the set up screen are as in the demoan open laptop where you just slide the markers to adjust everything. Both of these can be altered individually for example, I might choose cadet, but may enable or disable individual parts like ID tags. The Options menulets you set up and tune the video, audio, game controls and the difficulty levels of which there’s Cadet and Veteran. Click your name and you have the option to select and edit your face and voice (of which you can even adjust the pitch) from a library from within the game. You’ll see you’re name on the top left of the screen, and since I didn't enter this I can only assume the game plucked it from the registry. The Main menu has a roaming camera that shows battle-damaged vehicles and a few crosses that mark the graves of soldiers hastily buried on a barren landscape. Loading is slow due to the various splash screens, but an adjustment to the target via the shortcut icon makes the game load in seconds (Right-click the desktop icon and add -no splash to the end of the text). InstallInstalling the game was as mostnormal no problems at all. Having said all that, I’ll settle for what there is, after all, I’ll get the best instruction & experience on the field, right? I just wish they used larger text.

You have to go to the game's install folder for an HTML Readme document that has some very basic instructions on the editing of missions. There could have been some more detail with regards to Training, Missions and the Campaign and there’s no instruction at all for the Mission Editor. You also get a handy little key card going under the guise of a “field Card” I actually liked this, it helped me for the quick referencing in learning the games basic controls and it folds into a triangle so you can stand it up in front of you. I was annoyed at his, what does it take to enlarge the text a point or two and add a couple of pages? The text is quite small and almost too small for my eyesight with some of the key commands impossible for me to read. The content isn’t much, it tells you the commands and basic instructions.

You will go by foot, tank and numerous other vehicles and aircraft to fight and save the world from Communist oppressors! Well that’s the story line, on playing the game it felt more like Guerilla Warfare at times, I was even rescued and recruited by the resistance!ĭocumentationBefore I opened the DVD case (no box), I knew the manual wasn’t likely to be very big and I was worried about its content. You are a member of the U.S army sent into the Malden Islands. PremiseIt’s 1985, the cold war is at its peak, and WWIII could erupt at any moment. Hidden & Dangerous was the only other notable game of this genre I've had any joy with and I suppose it was with thanks to Hidden & Dangerous that I purchased Operation Flashpoint. Sometimes, I do like a game that makes me think about what I‘m doing.
First person shooters have never been my cup of tea. I’d tried the demo, and to be honest, I had mixed feelings about the game. On Friday, 22nd June 2001, I was not about to rush down and buy this, but buy it I did. June 22 nd 2001 was world release day except for the USA, who won't get their official release until September 2001. We’ve had a healthy teaser with the demo (why can’t more publishers give us a demo prior to release?) and reports were good. Well, that day has arrived via Bohemia Interactive's Operation Flashpoint.

IntroductionFor the past couple of years deep in the belly of military gaming there’s been a rumble or two about a new combat simulator that was going to blow the pants off first person shooters. Operation Flashpoint Review by Robert "Bilko" Shaw
