You got to ask yourself what the h**k you're doing, since I don't think you're making many friends around here, Ganja.

Well said, Triton. I agree.

The save feature isn't something that'll stop me from purchasing the game. Its just gonna end up being an annoyance...but I think I'm gonna end up getting the game fairly soon. Thanks for all the input guys.

BTW Triton, after looking through this topic, I feel that Ganja was talking about the people that Blizzard mentioned in his post ...

I don't have it, but I've seen people complain about the graphics being ugly, but it's gameplay that matters, right?

Apart from the graphics it seems most people like it.

... and not you personally. So count to five and chill out.

Hm, might very well be true. So, if it's true, I'll have to apologize for that to Ganja, but issue still rest, he called some other members morons, but I won't drive this topic any longer. End of story.

I personally also like Op Flash. It is a great game. I have heard from other people that they have experienced some problems with the enemy AI, that they are to accurate etc. But I have never experienced these problems. (except that a Russian AT soldier shot me dead on in the face from outside the viewable area, may have been "luck" or not) https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

You should download the demo before you spend $40

i've tried the demo and its quite good, i'm currently planning on buying this game https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

As for the graphics, they are not revolutionary but not worth complaning about, sometimes there a little blotchy but overall there pretty. But graphics aside, the gameplay looks excellent and thats what counts.

Hope this helps, download the demo and see if you like it, you shouldnt immediately buy it because other people like it, you should have your own opinion, because $40 could also buy you 4000 timbits and that would be sweet!

Play the game with a decent vid card you will see one of the most realistic sceeneries you ever saw in a game.
Models look like they could have been better when u get real close but thier movement and skeletal animation are incredible.And form a distance its looks so real to watch a jeep or a group of soldiers run or walk by.

i agree. the game looks amazing on my brothers ti 200. i suggest you turn all the options up in the preferences outside the game. max lights, texture res, shadows, drop downs etc. turn them all up to highest. i can run it fine on my kyro so you should be able to also. then turn the gamma down in game and the brightness up. considerable difference

Hm, interesting, I'm a moron, that is more than I knew myself. If you read my post, I said that the graphics is great in some departments and worse in some. You actually have the game? Been sitting in a vehicle with some other soldiers? The clipping is horrible, they move really unreal and their hands looks like thick, square shaped hotdogs. I don't call that great graphics. But, yes, the vehicles looks great, and even better from distance, and the scenario looks stunning when not coming too close. And, oh you said something about decent video card, a Geforce 2 Ultra with all details and resolution pumped up to the max and using FSAA 4x, is that decent enough for you?

Seriously Ganja, I have read very many posts from you lately that has gotten me very angry, because of your arroganse to posts and topics from other members. Many times I've stopped myself from posting to say my view on your posts, since it wasn't really my problem, but now when being called a moron, it sure is my problem.

I agree, mostly.

The thing with the graphics is that if you are used to flight sims or such large scale outdoor areas, then these are indeed amazing, about the best I've seen. They do an awsome job of rendering miles and miles of terrain.

Up close this ain't the level of UT or Q3, but when considering that it does fairly well at player models, AND has huge outdoor areas, I would say that the graphics are an incredible acheivement.

IE, MS Flight Sim does nice large areas, but get close and it all sucks. UT and Q3 have great models, but large scale they fall apart.

Operation Flashpoint handles both pretty nicely. BIS can be proud of this.

BTW, I love Flashpoint. Very hard, lots of crawling, but a real sense of tension. Give a taste of what combat is like.

To close this one, I guess that you have already read my previous post, where I admited that I were wrong, that it wasn't me you called "complete moron". However, you've not denied neither confirmed this, it would be interesting if you did. Either way, as I assume it wasn't meant for me, I'm not going to discuss this anymore, as I wrote in my first post, I don't discuss attacks if they aren't meant for me. As it showed that this wasn't meant for me, I won't continue this story anymore, and once again say I'm sorry and excuse myself and you might forgive me for this one.

And yes, this time it showed that I obviously was a little too fast to come to a conclusion.
