Somewhere in 2001, a german computer games magazine had an Operation Flashpoint demo on it's coverdisk. I didn't have internet at that time, so I've never heard of it, but it looked interesting.
After installing the demo, I played the one available SP mission: Ambush. And replayed it... and replayed it... I must have played it at least 20 or 30 times. I was thrilled, the mission developed differently every time I played it. It was stunning.
At the end of the Demo, you get extracted by helicopter, and the helo got shot down in a cutscene... it told you you survived the crash, but will you able to make it ? Find out in the playable conclusion... still waiting for that oneÂ
I once nicked the car that you get in the beginning and drove off... The sergeant called me on radio, asking me to return and calling me an insubordinate fuck, but hell, I wanted to explore the landscape... sadly, the demo had only a limited version of the island, you could drive for a few kilometers, but then, the landscape went on without any objects on it. But I was thrilled again, because the landscape did go on even outside the playing area... I sensed something big with this game. I was right
