"Just Sad"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was looking so forward to this game since hearing about it a few months ago.

There are too many glitches to count, the graphics are pretty average and the dumb AI, both your fire teams and the enemy leave something to be desired.

Only a few good things to name, artillery, mortar and air strikes are a very cool support feature, but you very rarely get the chance to use them. There are a couple of cool weapons in the game that you get to use but most of the time you have to go with what is given to you at the start of a mission.

You don't get the chance to choose your weapon loadout before a mission starts which would have to be my biggest disappointment with this game. Its bloody near impossible to hit someone in this game with iron sights on the weapon if they are more than 100 metres away.

The night vision and the thermal scopes are very cool to use but once again these dont make up for what will have to be the biggest waste of money this year.

"I love this game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you really put some time and effort into learning how to play this game you can have some real fun. The trick is mastering the squad control systems. Its a completely different play style to other shooters.

I don't like that people say this isn't a game for those who play cod, I am a huge cod fan and I found this game really fun.

"OK, not great"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

With great promise of emphasis on realism, ‘as close to war as you'd ever wanna get’, this sadly falls short of the mark. However, just short. Great potential, but unfortunately, the developer has just not gone that extra mile to truly deliver a remarkable game. Can be entertaining in short bursts, however, you will have to try your hardest to overlook the numberous bugs in this game. This include some gunners coming back to life, your squad mates refusing to move, etc. I would suggest waiting for Modern Warfare 2, or get Borderlands or Left 4 Dead 2, all much better choices.

Description

This stock is new but is ex display stock from stores. Cases/manuals may have scuff marks and/or old price stickers. All titles are 100% guaranteed.

Operation Flashpoint 2 will mark the long-awaited return of the total conflict simulator, which won international acclaim. Now in development, it is Codemasters Studios' most extensive R&D project to date. With the studio's largest development team ever assembled, Operation Flashpoint 2 has already benefited from over two years of pre-production on a closed set basis and will use a new FPS variant of Neon technology, the studio's propri­etary middleware.

Building on the original game's heritage, Operation Flashpoint 2 will see the most realistic modelling of conflict scenarios in a new contemporary theatre of war. By offering a multitude of military disciplines, gameplay will deliver warfare more realistic and intense then ever before, while an extensive multiplayer component will create battles on an incredible scale.

Features:

  • Freedom of Play – Operation Flashpoint 2 will give players the freedom to handle military crisis situations on their initiative. Unscripted missions will task players with real objectives, such as laying down covering fire, covering a friendly unit’s retreat or conducting short-range recon patrol. Armed with cutting edge military hardware, players will need to balance brute force with intelligent use of tactics. Once players have completed the campaign, a Mission Editor enables gamers to create their own single player and multiplayer missions.
  • The most realistic modern military conflict game – Operation Flashpoint 2 features unparalleled levels of realism and variety of military forces, equipment, weapons and tactics. Fully loaded weapons and individual ammunition types will be simulated with detailed ballistic physics, based upon individually-crafted mechanics. Players will command and control a wide variety of multi-component, multi-weapon vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, APCs, attack and utility helicopters. The character damage system authentically depicts the terrible wounds and injury from modern weapons to communicate the reality of combat.
  • Platoon-Based Combat – As an epic campaign weaves the narrative, players will fight as infantry soldiers in battle, drive tanks in armored assaults, pilot helicopters in air strikes, and infiltrate the enemy in covert special operations utilizing a wide variety of realistic military weapons from knives and rifles to machine guns, grenade launchers and laser designators for air strikes. In whichever role the player chooses, they will experience the fierce and brutal reality of warfare and the shock and awe of contemporary firepower unleashed on the arresting scale of modern combat.
  • Redefines the Size of Battle – Immense play areas of more than 135 square miles give players a multitude of tactical decisions on how to best accomplish missions. Densely packed with environment detail and objects, valleys, mountains, coastlines, towns, villages and industrial complexes all combine to deliver a rich and challenging tactical environment. The world is persistent, so that buildings destroyed in one campaign mission will be destroyed in the next.
  • Stylised Cinematography – Operation Flashpoint 2 will model the environment, objects and people in realistic detail, but its visual styling will embrace documentary techniques. The camera work through cut-scenes will be heavily influenced by television war reports that are often shot under extreme circumstances delivering a unique look with incorrect exposure, severe camera shake and loss of focus.
