operation flashpoint cold war crisis how to install mods

One of the missions I remember was preventing a column of tanks from reaching a nearby township, I mined the roadway, and after all but one of the tanks, was destroyed, I snuck up behind it and placed a charge, then crept away to safety before detonating it, very satisfying indeed. The choice is your's, thats the main draw with this game, you are not hobbled with how you achieve you objectives, you decide everything.

The tank campaigns are absolutely terrific, you and your crew can jump in and out of the tanks at will if you feel you need to, or steal another tank/truck/tractor/plane/helo/ to complete a mission. I played this game and its expansion packs for about a year, which is unheard of for a predominately single player game. All missions are in real time, so if you start a mission at 2am and you are still there 3hours later, (which is very possible with a game as complex as this)you can watch the sun coming up (which is breathtaking in its own right)whilst being shot at, lol. Some of the campaigns require a solo effort, IE, to snipe a dignitary at an opposing army base, whilst others require you to take charge of a group of soldiers to conduct assaults, search and destroy, convoy protection, fly A10 tank killers, escape from an enemy camp by foot, steal a tank, steal a helicopter, steal a jeep, you name it, if you can see it you can drive or fly it. The realism and tension offered by this game is simply astounding. Its some time now since I played this game but I do remember being totally immersed in the realism of the struggle for power in the Island group of Maldon. Operation Flashpoint is the benchmark of all soldier games. Might I add, Flashpoint came out in 2001, so that's living proof that excellent technology existed in that year. There's 2 more campaigns once you get the expansion packs, with multiple endings. Something else neat is that you can mark things on your map (such as marking the location of a car) There's also a 35 mission long campaign, and single missions. You can also customize your main character (name, face, radio voice, voice pitch, etc) It's very realistic, it's not a game where you have a health bar, you (and the other AI) can get killed instantly with just one bullet. Flashpoint also has a mission editor, so you can make anything if you put your mind to it. You can command a squad up to 12, and you can order them to do anything you want. Flashpoint has 4 islands (5 once you've got Resistance) that are very big. From putting your gun on your back, to getting in a vehicle, to lighting a campfire.

You can do it on foot, or you can go that enemy base near by and use their own hardware against them.
