If you do please could you tell me what it is like as me and my Dad are thinking of getting it. I have watched the previews and reviews and Video clips they are all magnificent, Especially the Special reserve one (for a stream line could not be bothered downloading it). On game-network There review was brilliant, and it said that if you have a Digi cam you can take a photo of your self and upload it on to Paint Shop Pro change it to a more graphical concept and upload it onto Operation Flash point.

This may not be long thread for prime but it is 8:00 AM.
Plus i can remember Turbonutter saying that more people should come to Prime.

Operation Flashpoint.
I've done a review for it here, but here's the capsule:

Very, very good. Very, very hard. Very, very realistic (not sure about that, not been in the army myself).

Single player is awesome, one-off missions and campaign games if you want that - build a career.
Graphics initially throw you, a bit bland but that's because of MASSIVE maps. You can drive from one end to the other and it can take 20 minutes depending on which island you're on.

Multi-player isn't happening yet.
US version is out soon, then we get a patch and dedicated servers. Using Gamespy at the momeny, which is unreliable, shoddy and causes the game to crash, although there is a Codemaster forum with people that post IPs for direct games.

It's tough. Very tough, you WILL be replaying level after level.
But, my initial "This sucks, it's hard" has turned into "This rocks, it's hard" (oo-er).
You can get vehicles and use them, helicopters, tanks, jeeps, tractors, skodas. Anything you see, you can get in.

In summary:
Operation Flashpoint is one of the most original and playable "simulators" of soldiering.
Dont get it if you think it's going to be Unreal, it's not.

I would recommend this to serious gamers, it's gonna take you an age to complete.
