Too many reviewers are trying to compare it to Call of Duty and moaning about having to give fellow comrades orders etc.

My copy was dispatched today by shopto so should have it tomorrow :D

Since this has leaked online today, i've been reading a few early reviews from joe public. They are a bit hit and miss really...

Bit of learning for the controls for your squad but when mastered, its well done.
Graphics simialar to Bad Company, but you gotta turn up the gamma on your LCD otherwise it looks blocky.
Great audio
Multiplayer is pretty good
Main downpoint is its supposed to be a 'sandbox' (free roam) game but each mission has a time limit, therefore stopping you from properly roaming...?!

I had the first one it was brill, only played the single player mission and I found it to hard, getting shot by people you cant see. So instead i used to build my own base's with tanks, jeeps and choppers then set loads of enemy out side my base, to actaully get in the choppers was excellent.

Only had 5 minutes to try it out so far...

Too early to get any real impressions but compared to Arma:II it runs a lot better. Will try it out properly later.

(1920*1200, AA*2, all details on high) Not overly impressed with the quality tbh..

Too early for me to comment. I literally tried it for 5 minutes just to see how it ran but I get the impression it's not quite as simple as your typical run and gun game.

Saying that it's only £18 so if you don't like it you could probably sell it on eBay and get your money back.

its £30 on 360 :(

Aah. In that case it's definitely not run and gun.

To issue a "fire" command on the PC involves pressing a sequence of fours keys and using the mouse to define where/what to fire at. It's probably even more "fiddly" on a controller.

after reading a review for the 360 it slates the controls for taking too long to get things done like apply a bandage as you have to stop in the middle of the action to heal your self but in the mean time you keep getting shot lol

I'm sure 99% of people in this thread right now will think its s**t.

Why, because the games s**t?

No, because they've been brought up on games like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and the like where there is very little thought or skill involved you can just run around shooting like a headless chicken. You don't need to plan your approach or even worry about getting shot. There hasn't been a game like this for years (suppose Rainbow Six is an exception but completely different from open warfare)

I've got it ready to play later, I loved rainbow and thinking I probably will like it as long as controls are not too over complicated.

Fully agreed mate

I used to play the original OFP on the pc and still to this day for overall gameplay and vast expanse of what you can do i dont think theres been a game to match it yet alone beat it.

Agreed, i used to love making my own missions and then trying to finish them. Me and my dad used to make missions for each other to see who could complete them and stuff, awesome :)

and that my friend is why you'll never appreciate just how good of a game it is.

People who have played operation flashpoint before the big CoD craze hit have experienced a real military simulation game. If you've been brought up on CoD your idea of how a military shooter should be has been permanently ruined.

Its released friday.

The bad reviews its getting, hardly any of the sites or magazines in question were around when the first game was released. The one that was, PC Zone, gave it a decent score.

erm nope in real life you dont have to look at 101 options on a screen while holding numerous buttons to select bandage

on teh pc it will be much better due to hot keys etc but teh controls dont really work on a console i dont think

I've played OFP: Cold War Crisis a long time ago and loved it, only COD since then but I'd be willing to give this a hoot.
