Operation Flashpoint Red River

Well this game defiantly deserves more credit than it is getting. First off the game is not COD so for any gamers than only play COD, Battlefield, or Halo just get out here. Reason why is because this is not a run and gun game this is straight strategy. What I mean is you can't go running in like a crazy man getting one kill then dyeing and coming back to life in a few seconds. Now I'm not trying to make COD, Battlefield, and Halo seem like a bad games because I play them and I really like then. But I also like a change in what I am playing.

Now the gameplay of Flashpoint is very nice, yes it has its points when you just want to break your system, but if you really try you can get by it. So what the story line is you are a marine in the state of war verse terrorists (not a shocker). You command your Bravo fire team of 4 and with help from Alpha and Charlie. In your team you go out and flank enemies and head straight into the fire fight, while Alpha and Charlie take the long range shots for you. Classes you have are pretty basic, you got the sniping, mid range, short range guns. Nothing to amazing but still fun. I also think it is important to know that it can take 1 to 2 shots to kill someone while it takes about 2 to 3 shots to kill you mainly because you have a flak jacket on. How you also improve your guns with better scopes, silencers, and more is like COD in a way, by leveling the class up. Im not going to go into much more detail, if you want to know more look it up on google or just by the game.

In the end though I give this game a 8.5 because it has pretty good graphics, but not amazing. Also the gameplay can have lags. And your team can be dumb at times, but don't let that fool you it is still a good game.
