Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis

THE GOOD:
1. This game is completely open-ended. With the editor utilities, you can do anything and I mean it! Want a civie to shoot some stupid dog? You can do it! Anything! Not just within the game realities (like FPS actions... ANYTHING!

2. This game is very good online. The MP maps are infinite, meaning you can hvae any kind of map you want.

3. Controls are quite easy.

4. It's coming for Xbox!!!

5. Great editor!

6. Very realistic.

THE BAD:
1. Biggest drawback... you need a tremendously powerful computer to run this game. I mean very powerful> Best graphics card, best Processor, very, very expensive stuff.

2. There are a lot of people online at all times, some of these people take the game too seriously. Cultural differences can sum it up.

3. Not too great of graphics. Even with a top-notch computer.

4. Annoying voices, but it can be fixed! Editing time!

5. Editor is...

THE GOOD:
Its fun, and realistic.

THE BAD:
It's difficult for some gamers as usual.

SUMMARY:
I didn't really get to play it, but from the looks of it when my Father played it quite often, I think it's a great title. I played the one for the Xbox, and that was fun. I really suggest getting the other Operation Flashpoints first, especially Red Hammer, where you're a captured bad guy. I think this one looks great, still good like the others, vehicles and all. It gets a high approval rating from me. It gets the 4 out of 5.

THE GOOD:
Truely a 1st person shooter. Mimics real life on the battlefield. The editor is very goood.

THE BAD:
Helicopter flips upside down when sitting on the ground on occasion. Map view doesn't show elements of your platoon.

SUMMARY:
I have compulsively played this game for a month now. I have made scenerios with the editor and played them extensively, so I think that I am now in the position to offer some constructive comments. I personally feel that this game is the best of it's kind that I have ever played. This game makes me feel that there is almost an infinate choice of 1st person actions in this game. I have set up scenerios that allow me to plant tanks, choppers, and jeeps that I can use at my convience.
Now for the bugs.
First the editor needs much better documentation. There are several functions that the editor offers that isn't covered in the editor documentation. Second, I hate getting killed from a soldier halfway...

THE GOOD:
The best game I have ever played.

THE BAD:
Not really any, except it's kind of hard. But I love a challenge.

SUMMARY:
This is the kind of game that is so cool to play that you dont want to use cheats. It's hard and realistic. The graphics are sweet and the sound is to. I like the way how you can do optional things to complete missions, and the mission builder is one of the best out there and it's so cool. The number of things you can do can keep you busy for months. Good work guys and keep it up.

THE GOOD:
Realism, plain and simple, if you don't wanna sign on the dotted line (like I have), but still want to know what's it like to be a soldier this is it.

THE BAD:
Most of the complaints I've heard are from people who want games that no computer on earth could run, you have to make sacrifices to have good games, deal with it.

SUMMARY:
Alright so first off, what right do I have to review this game. First I'm an Army ROTC Cadet I've fired a lot of the weapons in this game myself, I wear the uniform, ride the vehicles and have experienced a lot of the things in this game (minus being shot at obviously). Second, I've been playing wargames since I was 5. If it's out there I've probably played it or at least have some clue about it. So basically, I know firsthand what the items in the game are capable of, and can compare what's in this game to most other games out there.
The first thing most people are going to whine about in...

EXCELLENT!!

THE GOOD:
Realistic

THE BAD:
Difficult

SUMMARY:
U have to buy it .

Good graphics, good gameplay, but it may be hard to get the hang of at first. Otherwise a great game!

THE GOOD:
Graphics, Music, Maps, Weapons, allmost everything!

THE BAD:
You need quite a powerful computer to play this game.

SUMMARY:
This is an all round good game, if you liked Delta Force you will LOVE this game! Also if you liked the film : Saving Private Ryan, this game brings the film to life. For anyone who likes wargames this is a MUST!

THE GOOD:
Realism, vehichles, multiplayer interface, game options can be reset on the fly.

THE BAD:
unnecesarilly complex manipulation of some objects. EAX sound inaccurate.

SUMMARY:
I'm not sure why so many people are so impressed with this game and its scope which includes the
ability to drive and occupy vehichles. The Hidden & Dangerous and Tribes games have been doing this
for over three years now. Granted the maps are bigger in OFP, it is almost identical to the
H&D games' structures and features but with the addition of multiplayer. Perhaps I just haven't played it
enought yet to discover any significant differences but it sure has a suspiciously strong
resemblence to Hidden & Dangerous in many, many ways. I think there is a link there somewhere.

I was really hyped for this game and expected alot but I was disapointed to see that it was
little different from the H&D games that I had already...
