Hello,
Yes, I know that I´m not the newest player here but I just felt that I could write something onto this topic. It´s not a big surprise if I say first that I have been a huge fan of Operation Flashpoint since the day I got it. That day was though maybe half year after it had been first released. I and my brother did not have a very powerful computer then and the game used to crash quite often and it was somewhat painful to play sometimes but when it worked it was such a pleasure and I really enjoyed it.
I can still recall the immersive campaign missions especially the one where you started alone in the forest and you had to find your way out from it to the safe zone and Russian soldiers were coming from everywhere. At least it felt like that. It was so amazing when you had a possibility to move in such a big game world without restrictions. I remember that at that time one of my school friends in upper secondary school played it already then in multiplayer and I heard sometimes funny stories about death match sniping etc. I think he was a member of FinP clan later on. I had only chance to play it in single player mode though because broadband internet connections were very uncommon and expensive in the country side where I used to live then. So couple first years with Flashpoint went just playing single player campaign and maps.
After I had started my uni studies and moved away from home to my first student flat which had superb internet connection and bought my first own computer I started to play ofp again when I had bought GOTY-edition with 10 euros. That computer wasnât very good either but it was better than nothing. Though Flashpoint didnât work well enough on it and I gave up with it. Finally, just something like two and half years ago I got almost state of the art pc (atleast for me) of the time and it was not hard to guess what did I do first.
Somehow I finally found my way into also multiplayer games after playing Resistance, Red Hammer and FDF single player campaigns. I knew right from the start that death matches are meant for someone else than me. So it was co-op time, time to shoot AI´s with other humans. I played mostly in LOL server and also a little in Recon server and I liked it then. But co-op games especially in the first mentioned server were quite often something else than real co-op. Well, we players had same enemies and we saw other players first and last time when game started but something was definitely missing. Luckily there were also couple players that tried their best to keep it together and maintain real co-op style of game. These players were gum and Hawke especially :]. At last gaming there started to be too frustrating when some not mentioned players ruined the mission too often by acting stupid and childish. Luckily someone of these real co-op oriented guys (whose name I donât remember now) gave a hint about something more serious and better to try. So finally I want to thank all of you CiA people for the opportunity to play here. It surely has been a big and good leap from other servers so thanks about it! Thatâs my story about Operation Flashpoint so far.
Best Wishes,
