The ulitmate objective is to destroy the enemy's Mobile Headquarters. The "Conquer the Island" map functions almost like a completely new strategy based game, where two teams set out on different parts of the island capturing towns from AI, and eventually must fight so that only one prevails. Thanks to a handful of dedicated developers, huge multIplayer maps have been developed, such as "Battlefield" and "Conquer the Island". The game engine architecture makes it easy for those into scripting to do just about anything they want with it. One of the reasons for this games longevity is the fact that there are so many different ways you can play it. The fact that you can be part of a crew, or go off on your own and try to be the hero or do whatever else you want makes this game extreme fun. The game can best be described as virtual reality war, and it gives the player an unparallelled sense of freedom and adventure, that perhaps recalls for many the early adventures of childhood - the wide games we might have played when in the boy scouts, or in a paint ball game or something like that. There are probably around 60 to 80 basic commands, and the menu is very easy to use.
The orders are presented to the player by what is probably the most extensive menu system in any first person game, allowing the player almost full control over AI. The player can be in charge of an AI squad of up 11 which he can control by giving orders through radio. This gives rise to a sense of infinite possibility and freedom, which is not often felt in other games. The non-linear aspect of the game engine means that instead completing levels in a linear way, the player is instead given a set of objectives to achieve, and left largely to his own devices as to how to complete them.
What makes Operation Flashpoint special is the level of “immersivity” offered by the non-linear nature of game engine, the extensive AI system, and the ability to get in and drive or fly various replicas of NATO and Soviet vehicles. The update improves the game engine, introducing better graphics with higher resolution textures, while other enhancements include new vehicles, new scenery & buildings, and new, huge island called Nogova. The "Resistance" add-on functions as both an enhancement and an update to the original, with a new campaign and some extra missions. This is a very clean and effiecient 3D engine, that runs today like a well-oiled machine. By Jason210 | Review Date: ApOperation Flashpoint was revolutionary when it came out in 2001, and the fact that it is still in popular use today is testimony to its value in terms of money and game play.
