Countdown to OpFlashpoint

Here's my short review of Operation Flashpoint:

I don't like it. It's too realistic == less fun. Graphics are not very impressive either but IÂ’d overlook that if the game was fun. (Some serious clipping issues as well, in some houses I could walk right through walls.) AI varies from realistic to extremely weird. Movement physics of my characters were annoying (sometimes IÂ’d get a feeling like IÂ’m glued to a wall or a tree and I try to rip apart from it, not a very good feeling). Also, movements seem kind of erratic. One of the worst things is that I canÂ’t see enemies really well, thereÂ’s help available at your crosshair, which is useful but IÂ’d like to see my enemies instead of reading about them in my crosshair. (Once again itÂ’s realistic the way camouflage blends with the environment and makes them hard to see but itÂ’s less fun)
Some missions IÂ’d run around like a chicken with no head then the mission is over but I havenÂ’t even seen an enemy. Great! Sometimes I see one, the one that kills me.

ItÂ’s too bad that I donÂ’t like it because overall it seems like a great game. Lots of work and thought were put into this game. Lots of different vehicles to drive. Also, gives you a real feeling of the battle.

The bottom line is itÂ’s all matter of taste. I didnÂ’t like it but itÂ’s definitely worth a try. It just could be yours cup of tea.

Ummmm, Maarten, I bought mine yesterday too. From what I can tell (I called about 3 eb's in the area and a couple of other stores too) It is widely available.
