Operation Flashpoint despite being one amazing game it also has a very handy feature that I think will revolutionise the gaming industry. It has FADE. What is FADE you ask? It's a technology that Codemasters (behind the game) have incorporated in Operation Flashpoint to stop video gaming piracy! How it works nobody has the foggiest idea except those clever people at Codemasters. Unlike other anti-pirate software which is incorporated in games to stop it from being copied (ie. cd keys and anti-copiable cds) this game can allegedly NOT be hacked unlike other games where videogame pirates have found ways to get around the problem and copy copy copy...

FADE basically is said to "decompose" the game until it's no longer playable disabling key aspects of the game within time AND it only does this if the game is detected to not be the original version. Clever stuff.. So how do they do it? No one but Codemasters knows yet but lets hope eventually all companies will adopt a similar technology and destroy computer game piracy and finally we will have an end to the destruction of the computer game market which is badly harmed by piracy year after year... Lets hope this software really isn't beatable by the pirates like Codemasters claim.. Only the future will tell this. If the software succeeds though we can easily say this is the future of gaming and the ending of piracy.. It's a hard world to imagine...
