This game was not developed by Bohemia Interactive, who had reserved the exclusive right to develop sequels to the original Operation Flashpoint, and released a statement that “it is not right to promote this game as the official sequel”. Armed Assault’s successor ARMA 2 was released in 2009.Ī game titled Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising was released in October 2009 by Codemasters.

It is based on an improved Flashpoint engine. In 2006, Bohemia Interactive released a sequel called ARMA: Armed Assault. Operation Flashpoint was praised for its attention to realistic combat. An Xbox port was released in 2005 under the title Operation Flashpoint: Elite. Two expansion packs were released Gold Upgrade, which included Red Hammer, a campaign from the Soviet perspective, and Resistance, which introduced various new features and improved graphics and sound effects. The Resistance is the third playable faction. Set on a group of fictitious islands in 1985, Operation Flashpoint puts the player on one of three sides in a hypothetical conflict between American and Soviet forces. The game uses the same engine, Real Virtuality, as the military simulator VBS1. The game is considered to be a spiritual successor to Gravon: Real Virtuality from 1995. In 2011, Bohemia Interactive re-released the game under the title ARMA: Cold War Assault. Today it’s Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis a 2001 tactical shooter and battlefield simulator video game developed by Bohemia Interactive Studio and published by Codemasters for Microsoft Windows (PC). A Good Game a day for the rest of time perhaps?
