In any of the missions you are entirely free to do what you want, but need to respect your superiors' orders.Ģ. You may be the commander or the commanded, and your mission may involve attacking, depending, rescuing, fleeing, keeping watch or planting bombs.

Operation Flashpoint, simply put, is a simulation of war combat (as it was in 1985) played in realtime in a "real-world" environment and viewed from the firstperson perspective and is the finest game I have every played, period. 11 How does Operation Flashpoint calculate mission scores?.10 Got anything to make me a better squad commander?.9 Will Operation Flashpoint be available for the Xbox?.8 Are there any other games using Operation Flashpoint's game engine?.7 What's all this talk about a US version and a European version?.6 Is there a demo version of Operation Flashpoint?.5 Are there any Operation Flashpoint discussion forums?.4 Where can I buy Operation Flashpoint?.3 What age group is Operation Flashpoint rated for?.2 What is Operation Flashpoint's terrain and environment like?.
