I got Operation Flashpoint this morning, and there's a little cardboard doohick inside that folds out into a triangle that you can spin and it tells you the controls! It's wicked, better than the game! I'm off to play with now in the field, goodbye!

Did anyone manaage to succesfully fly the plane for more than about a minute?

I always used to end up in the ground when I tried to turn, and hitting things on the ground was virtually impossible. Helicopters were fun though.

Ah, whoops, time to buy a new stress ball I think. Anyway, I agree, movement commands for games like Delta Force are fairly simple to get your head around, even if you've never played a FPS before although I remember the first time I had a go on desent, my first time using the mouse/keyboard setup, too difficult to use both at the time so I had control of the keyboard while my brother used the mouse, crazy.

When you have games like Operation Flashpoint though, a bit of help telling you which control does what doesn't go amiss, even I had trouble controlling certain vehicles for that game, so that nifty traingle card did come in handy at points.

I knew you wouldn't be that stupid! I guess the lack of smiley faces in a message can lead people to believe you're serious.

Sorry fella, I wasn't mocking you, guess you must have took it the wrong way.

I do agree that mapping movement controls would help a newbie, but since you can map your movement controls however you like, they probably thought there was no point. The card itself is helpful enough - I can't be bothered remembering all the buttons for grenades, commands, stances etc.

That was good as well. But I don't think I've still got that.

No you simple minded fool, but I find that covering movement keys would be far more useful to people not used to playing games like delta Force.

Yeah, he said it like he wanted it to cover movement buttons, but it didn't

You need help pressing the movement buttons in a game?

Oh my. *shakes head*
