| − | ==The Basics==
| + | |
| − | Op Flashpoint is played only occasionally on 5punk, but there is occasionally a resurgance of interest. A modern era FPS, OPF focuses on low level tactical combat at section, platoon and company level. With a strong emphasis on combined arms cooperation, the player can get in and use any vehicle, weapon or gun emplacement on the battlefield. Missions are hugely varied and a powerful yet easy to use mission design tool allow simple missions to be created very quickly.

| − | All the missions take place on large islands so there is no 'tunnelling' down a path chosen by the mission designer. There a numerous ways to complete an objective and the open ended format makes replaying the single player game very rewarding. The active community continues to churn out addons, graphical and sound updates that breathe new life into the game. Coop mode is excellent fun and takes a certain amount of skill, thought and planning to achieve mission success.

| − | The server browser is based on Gamespy and is therefore pretty shitty. There is also no way to join a multiplayer game in progress which is particularly frustrating in longer coop games. Also, being an older game the graphics are a little dated (although servicable) and things such as clipping and physics are not what we have come to expect with more recent games.

| − | ==Conclusion==
| + | |
| − | If you want a slightly slower paced FPS with lots and lots of toys where you have time to really think and work as a team, rather than suffering from the "run, run, run, death, rinse and repeat", then OFP is worth a go. There is a comprehensive guide to getting the game installed and set up ready for the the Bukkake server on the 5punk forum.
