Op: Flashpoint - Red River

[Dane]

Anyone playing this? I've just half inched it off my brother while he's at uni. Very realistic in my view, huge open playing spaces, long range contacts, two shots and your dead etc etc.

The graphics do let it down but it's nice to play something more honest.

Cheers Dane I'll have a look at this

No worries! IMO It's a lot more true to real life, you have to account for distance using a scoped weapon, as opposed to the COD on the crosshairs everytime. Some times shots go a stray due to wind, hiting someone whos moving at distance is tricky, the AI are pretty good too!

Nice one. I got the first game and thought that was good.

I'll take a look in to this.

I liked the sniper ghost warrior game.
That had the same effect of wind and distance on the bullets.
Shame it was to short though.

The Ssgt is probably the coolest CO in a game ever.
