Just re-installed this game due to the recent drought of decent games and I have to say I forgot how absolutely AMAZING it is. It's incredible after 4 years I still absolutely adore this game. It's as good as anything else I've played

Some of the addons are brilliant and make it feel like a pretty recent game rather than an older one.

Some of my favourites:

http://operationflashpoint.filefront.com/file/Kegetys_Special_FX;34848 - Hacked DirectX dll to improve graphics.

http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/misc/basfiles.htm - Various BAS addons

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=4;t=38262 - EECP enhacement extension

http://koti.mbnet.fi/~fdfmod/ - FDF mod

If you're looking for something to play I'd recommend re/installing this and having a play with the addons. Multiplayer adds a lot of replayability and there's still a few servers around.

Hope I dont need to reinstall old games, cause february is going to be a really good month for games releases, but if I had to reinstall some old game it would be without a doubt medal of honour Smile

I remember my first year playing Operation Flashpoint. Man that was some good times in terms of gaming for me - I'd spend literally ages with it. Fond memories.

I eventually lost interest though and passed on Resistence.

Tried the demo of that a couple of months ago when Saddam (of Nforce, naturally) was talking about OpFlash on here and I just couldn't get into the feel of it anymore Sad

So sad.

But the interface, sounds. I don't know - it just didn't feel right to me somehow.

Do you not find the same thing?

I felt a bit like that at first but the DirectX dll hack made it feel fine. It fixed the problem of the unreadable fonts and make it look quite pretty getting rid of the two main things which annoyed me.

I forgot to mention in the first post that I put up some screenshots here:

I really like this game, but didn't it have problems with that F.A.D.E. copy protection? I don'T know if it was ever cracked, but I do know I had problems with FADE: finished a mission and it just jumped back to the main menu...

Anyone know if this was finally solved? I think I am now in the first mission with the special ops guy where I have to steal a chopper from an enemy base I think...

Hhmm, i also have it but i dunno if i should install it. Connecting to a server used to be such a pain in the ass. Did they resolve that or is it still the same? About 4 pit stops before connecting to a server, god that was horrible, only thing that sucked about the game, all else was flawless.

That looks very sweet, but also a performance hog, do you know how this will run as ofp is an old engine I don't know how it could handle that graphics.

Don't count on it. It should be rather 2006.

it handles them. The guys who are doing this mod are almost pros. they coded the vegetation for high performance, with lods and all that.. The guy who made that vegetation says that the engine handles the vegetation like default ofp forest, which is engine-wise optimised for performance, and whoever played ofp knows that the islands are full with huge, vast forests, so no problem there. The system specs will be slightly higher than the original ofp, but not necesseraly because of the grass, but especially because of the new units which have high res textures.
