This is, hands down, one of the best PC games you’ll ever play. There’s a ton of variety, the graphics are great, and the controls are relatively easy to manage.

The action is centered around a “what if” scenario. The year is 1985 and you are Private David Armstrong of the United States Army ( just one of several characters you’ll control). Your squad is on the island of Everon and it’s under Soviet attack. Throughout the game you have to defend yourself and your squad, whether it’s infantry, tanks, or helicopters. This game literally puts you right in the middle of combat. You’ll hear bullets whizzing past your ears, and practically smell the diesel fuel from the tank engines. The graphics are extremely lush and the landscapes are expansive and really give you the feeling that you are in this densely wooded European landscape. Trees, houses, and even mountains dot the country side. The only problem I had with the graphics is that in third person mode, the characters movements while running look very “unatural”. But that can be easily forgiven. Also there are two massive upgrade patches you’ll need to install. Best to find a friend with broad band and put them on a CD for safe keeping.

The controls are relatively easy for a PC game. Squad commands can be a little confusing but your squad will fight independantly if they need to, unlike in games such as Rainbow Six. Also a flight stick might be needed to make the helicopter and air plane modes a little easier. You can drive vehicles, fly airplanes. Need a ride? No problem. Just grab that jeep the enemy abandoned. There’s alot of interaction with various elements in the game world which makes the experience more enjoyable.

Undoubtebly one of the best features of this game is that the game engine is very flexible. There are a ton of great addons availble on the internet. When you install the game, it even creates an Addons folder for easy instalation. Helicopters, weapons, new units, even buildings are all available with a quick search of the internet.

The only knock on this game is that the multiplayer mode is very frustrating. The gameplay is uneven at times, and it takes a while to find the right multiplayer mode.

This game is definitley worth the price you’ll pay for it. Grab your M16 soldier and report for duty. Time to kick but and take names with Operation Flashpoint.
Rating: 5 / 5

This is probably the only game I will give 5 stars to. Its DEFINITELY WORTH THE BUY.
