"Operation Flashpoint"

I'm sure I'm not the only person here who thinks this is one of the best soldier sims out there, I love the fact that realinsm plays such an important part in the game making it very challanging and enjoyable. Anyway here's the games very first thread for all to talk about.

Something I forgot to add, I found out that Bohemia are making another expansion disk, this time you get to play as part of a resistance force fighting against the Russians. It’s set years before the original game and features a new island, an improved graphics engine and some new vehicles including a motorbike. Check this link to find out more info.

Yeah we've all known about that for weeks and weeks

Should be good

mayb just mayb!

Well the Red Hammer expansion was good and that didn't really have as much improvements as the ones announced for this new add-on, so I think it will be good. Can't wait to get me hands on that motorbike.

Flashpoint is excellent.
I played the demo and hated it, too realistic and I kept getting shot in 2 seconds flat.

Then bought it on a whim and still hated it, seemed clunky and slow, no jumping, hard to shoot them at a distance etc etc.
But slowly it started pulling me in.
And the Red Hammer addon rules, it's a helluva harder than the original.

Now I can't play this enough.

Bought it a while back, because Gotboy was saying how good it was..yadda yadda, only just started playing it, my old gfx card was wayyy too slow, it's a great game, I love shooting people in moving cars, still trying to fly a helicopter though! can someone tell me how to make it go up? :D it just hovers a little at the mo! gah!!!

Yeah foxed me at 1st as well.
It's whatever keys you have for crouch/stand laydown etc.

Turn engine on, press whatever the stand/crouch key is and hold on.
I know how to make it go up, I just crash a lot.

LOL, thats a shame, surprisingly easy to crash even when your about a foot off the ground so i've found...

I seemed to have lost some of the game sounds. I have all the voices and ambience sounds, but no gun or explosion noises. The only explanation I can give is that new 1.46 patch. Anyone else have a problem with this new version.
