Great Nostalia!

I loved this back in the day. I can (and will) play with the mission editor for hours! Especially once you get mods involved.

Perfect Mix of Realism and Action

ARMA: Cold War Assault (Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis) is still providing all the necessary assets for people who would like to immerse themselves but wouldn't like to read 200+ pages long manuals or watch tutorials for hours. Cold War goes hot but only on a fictional island, Everon. You take command of several units including ground and air ones. Tanks, Helicopters, all kinds of weapons modeled nicely and all of them sound great. Because the game is based on realism theres an insanely big map with several landmarks, towns, villages and military bases. The gameplay is just as complex to not feel overwhelmed but it doesn't feel arcadey either. There are physics, bullet drop, vehicle modules, unit command structure also. The campaigns are good but the AI likes to do awkward things which sometime make you restart a whole mission... You'll be playing with the US mostly against the Soviets, while the Resistance are in the expansion with the same name. The real deal are the editor and the community. The game is still played intensively on the OFP Discord and OpenSpy which is a GameSpy revival project. The game editor includes all maps, assets and a extensive scripting language which with players can create simple missions along with total conversions. All-in all this game held it's place even after 24 years and shines truly in the abundance of custom content available. I can recommend it any time, either you would like to play alone, co-op or massive multiplayer. Oh... And the music... THE MUSIC IS INSANE!!!! 90s and early 2000s rock all the way.

A forgotten masterpiece.

This was the first computer game I ever owned. I still occasionally return and finish the entire game. Regardless of its age, this game is extremely immersive. I have very fond memories of playing this game, and I still remember almost all of the dialogue to this day. Unfortunately, the game's original publisher has tarnished the Operation Flashpoint name. I remember being so disappointed with Dragon Rising that I didn't bother playing Red River. This game possesses a magical quality that cannot be replicated, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. The game's name may have changed to ARMA: Cold War Assault, but it will always be remembered as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis.
