Pros: Many improvements, an entirely new campaign.
Cons: Bugs still pop up, it's still frustrating as heck.
Summary: This, I can say, is a game that really and truly surprised me. Having given its predeccesor a well-earned, but not ecstatic, 4 stars, I expected to give the expansion pack the same…with a bit less enthusiasm, perhaps. But no, Operation Flashpoint: ... read more

Pros: Prettier than the original. Amazing depth.
Cons: Still very cumbersome. No replay feature. Only one save per level?
Summary: I enjoyed the original OFP, but not as much as I should have. I was less familiar with strategy games and computers than I am now and OFP didn't have a very good tutorial. The manual isn't too helpful and even the FAQ you find online is lacking.

Pros: Great everything, almost.
Cons: This game almost had it all, almost. Stupid glitches.
Summary: Operation flashpoint (OFP) is a stunningly great game, not only were the producers able to create great controls, graphics, and a ok storyline for a first person shooter, but they also added a GREAT map editor. Sure its not as simple as the DF2 map ... read more

Pros: graphics, gameplay, new improvements
Cons: some high requirements

Pros: huge world. tremendous number of things to do
Cons: too complicated. I will focus on the bad parts of this great game.
Summary: I've gone back to this game after many months. Most great games like half life or return to castle wolfenstein are pretty boring the second time around, but not Operation Flashpoint. I find new ways to play levels I played dozens of times. I quit the ... read more

Pros: Great fun playing soldier. Many ways to finish most missions. Low price.
Cons: Not too great of an AI, graphics look dated. Can be hard to run right.
Summary: I had read the previews on this game, and the reviews on it. Even though I thought it looked like a fun game I never was too drawn to buy it. After it turned up in the used game section I decided to blow $20 bucks on it and gave it whirl.

Pros: Huge enviroments, vehicles, weapons physics, and blowing stuff up at night.
Cons: Often lackluster graphics, frustrating enemies and missions, a few bugs, and some other minor issues.
Summary: While they are a relatively new genre, tactical shooters are also a rather popular genre. Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear, Swat 3…the list goes on and on. However, most of these games focus on stealth more than anything else.

Pros: The game box makes a nice little trash box?

Pros: Extremely realistic, highly detailed war simulation.
Cons: Too many mundane objectives, long stretches where your character is barely involved.
Summary: Yes, I understand Operation Flashpoint is not supposed to be a traditional FPS. It was designed to be as realistic as possible, and in many ways, it is. Unfortunately, this makes for a game that has way too many mundane objectives such as driving a truck
