re: Poor excuse for a real time sim shooter

actually I was unfortunate enough to find a few multiplayer matches.

I spawn litterally ACROSS THE WORLD and had to walk to my AI controled squad (except one guy who was real)

and we had to fight off enemies attacking (all AI controlled) that were too far away to even see.

There was a jeep where I spawned, but driving that is a suicide mission.

And the other game mode was like DM or something. It was a laggy mess. Felt like BC2.

I hate operation flashpoint. But really what it sounds like you are saying is " Its not MW2 so I hate it"

It is far closer to being realistic than MW2 is, and thats for sure.

Faulty guns? The guns in this game are also realistic to the T.

Only thing wrong with this game are the insane bugs, lags, AI, graphics, controls, well just about everything but what you said.

I have to agree with you. I wanted this game because Codemasters was behind it. I got the PC game because that is all I have. Well, there are many problems. Firstly, I cannot use the Q command (most of the time)to bring up the menu for issuing orders. When it does appear, I cannot hover my mouse over the commands I want to issue. I tried various keyboard strokes but that does not work either. In my very first campaign I tried over and over again to tell the navy I wanted a barrage. No way. Then there was the first very large patch that came out, which I installed. Hoping some fixes were included. None that were any use to me. Getting new mods and maps does not help if the basic controls do not work for me. Then as you say, is the endless walking. Couldn't my helicopter land closer? I used the truck but guiding is like I was a drunk driver. Then there is the multi-player. I have yet been able to login into any game of any type. Keep getting None available. Is there actually people using the multi-player version? Overall I would only give this game a 5 out of 10. James

Love your review. Definitely spot on. I just started playing it and it definitely takes patience and a knowledge of tactical warfare. And that's what I love about it. The patch fixed a lot of the problems. It's such a refreshing change from the boxed in feeling of most the other military FPS. Anyway glad to know there is someone out there who appreciates the true tactical nature of this game as much as I do.

This game was a disappointing experience to me as well. I wouldn't give it a 7.00 though i would give it a 4.50. or maybe 5.00 but my ratings are harsh

I understand that you are trying to make a valid point in your post about the gameplay and the mechanics of it, but do us all a favor; spell check your post, or at least learn to spell. It actually hurts my eyes to see people make posts' when they spell like a second grader.
