Operation Flashpoint 2 Me Review

[theENIGMATRON]

Ok, Alot of mixed reviews on this and i was soooo hit and miss if to
open the new game or not and just sell it.

I can say i am happy i opend it,

This is not even a fraction to what people have been saying in dishing this game,

Ok Issues first off: Online playing is not wokring,
A pain in the ass and stupid Yes, But am sure it will be up in no time.

The Gameplay, Very Very Good!

Keep in mind people this game is not Called
Battlefield flashpoint it is operation flashpoint

Operation, Tactics, Stealth in some parts, leadership, orders, control, predicting what to 4 steps ahead of what you are going to do.

Some of the Keywords i can use to sum on the gameplay.

Ok the GFX aint amazing, but there alot better than what i fort, i was epxecting a very poor GFX, and i was suprised to be honest.

Handling of Body Actions, Runnings, Diving, and Cars (Not used anythign els)
Very good and a massive change in play already, i loved the idea of how much the controls change pending on your possision running and so.

Only thing i could of faulted on this was the Car, i hit a stone and it flew 50 ft in the air, that was very funny.

So the Gameplay, I found some of the missions very good, very long at some points but keeps you on your toes,
you are always aware of your surroundings 360 the way around,
you dont run from Point A to Point B, you will keep you team close and foward them one place while moving the other yourself,

The AI are good, Not amazing but who wants amazing AI to take all your action, they are good at what they do and thats a little bit of support.

"And for what i spoke to Daz about yesterday the AI never followed you into a Building, well i aint suprised after i had a think of it,
if you head into a bulding why would you want your team to follow......
for the enemy to follow behind block the doors and ambush you....
I think the idea of the AI standing around the building or maybe one following you is good, it keeps you covered in many ways"

Anyway my overall on this, its not has bad as everyone makes out,

People aims may of been too hi for this game, unlike me i expected very little from it after reading all the reviews and was plesently suprised,

its defo a game that will take a while to get anywhere in it due to speed and size of missions,

And online play i think could be good fun when its online.

Dont knock it if you aint tryed it.

Still, its got nothing on the orginal.
I didnt expect anything from it, i knew what i was buying, - but it is and always will be a poor game..alright for a change.. but combined with graphics, gameplay and issues - i find it really hard to find the good bits.. co-op campaign..is probs the best bit in the entire game.

It is the way the developers put it through as the most realist mil sim and shit. Dude, you should have watched that video where they were bragging about how realistic their game feels and plays and stuff. So naturally people expected amazing game.

[theENIGMATRON]

Ahhh now you see i didnt see anything like this,
The only thing i knew about this game was when Sys said something about Learning AI.....

Or a Mission is never the same or something to do with an Engine randomly making missions or games up...

Thats the most i heard of it,

I keep well away from looking into games too much like i know nothing about BFBC 2, or any other games to come, too much is expected from them, too much is boasted about and bragged about
and its a letdown,

Keep away from it and your expectations are your own, and not filled by most comments on the net

Well you see I take a different stance. I didn't know anything about Warhawk and I was told to get it, so I though, how bad could it be if lots of my FL buddies recommended it to me at the time? I'm trying not to make the same mistake ever again, so I do my research. I knew nothing about BFBC. But I played the demo and got sold. OFP? Ain't wasting 40 quid for a few days of play just so that I played it. I like my games last.

Well, I took mine back to Asda today for a refund.
I was expecting poor single player game mode, and it is. Why should I adopt a strategy based on how stupid the AI is?
I was also expecting pretty decent online gameplay, which never came, why? Because I've never been able to get online.
Graphics to me are'nt important as long as the gameplay is addictive.
It was a big disappointment from the word go.
I was also stuck on the second mission and despite trying it around 20-30 times to complete it, I just could'nt do it.
The hill where you have to crawl on your belly to get past the guards was stupid in the extreme. Even though I'd gone around them, on one attempt, I sneaked back on my belly, knife in hand, perfomed a silent kill, and despite the other guard being in a different location and having his back to me, was aware of my "silent" kill tactic! HOW?
All in all, it's a weak game, might give some people the thrill they want, and good for them, but no, for me it did'nt achieve what it promised. And not being able to play online, is a complete disaster for any multiplayer game.

I just cannot believe this P.O.S. is your most viewed game on youtube Sy.

lmfao at that shit, probably the worst game i ever played.
Honestly, the hit detection sucked, the graphics are horrible, the online was fucking laggy and shitty, and the sound was awful.

On top of that the vehcile physics are horrendous, nasty game.
