1997. The game is categorized as a squad-based First Person Shooter,
combines the action of Delta Force and Project I.G.I. and the tactics

an advanced gameplay engine.

The game has various gameplay options: playing as a simple infantry

helicopters and in general over 30 different vehicles that are
possible in the game., to use certain weapons from different kinds,

He can plan it himself and decide what will each soldier do. The
affect of the players action, as aforesaid, the development of the
plot and can change it from one side to the other.

Operation flashpoint is using a new graphic engine that was developed
especially for it. The engine represents a high level of technology
that was never seen before, neither on tactical action games nor other
genres, and that will supply to the gamer a very realistic experience.
The 3d engine is designed to make the loading of large and complex
horizons and a large amount of rich and smooth textures, all in
minimum time and with support in Direct 3D and Glide technology. Also,
the engine is allowing quick load and smooth load of huge terrains and
very detailed models, dynamic shadows and lighting, textures in high
resolution, dynamic weather and time effects, realistic explosions and
smoke effect, realistic animation and more. The real-time weather and
time system allows simulation of wind, rain, fog, clouds, day-time,
sunset, dawn and other very realistic situation, all these in realtime
and during gameplay. The game's LOD (Level of Detail) is resulted with
dynamic details with the movement of the view, and creates realistic
graphics. The Motion Capture technology is being used to create a
realistic as possible movement of the characters in the game.

The game is divided to 30 different missions; each is focusing on a
different area and different phase in the game with a different goal.
Each phase in the game is designed and planned to fit according to the
era and the atmosphere, and was mapped according to maps and documents
from the cold war. In single player the player will start as a simple
private that will be given orders and will climb up the ranks ladder
until he will have his own squad and the possibility to give commands
to AI soldiers.

There are five maps, 3 islands where the single player campaign is
taking place, an intro island and a training island. With the very
easy interface of the built-in mission editor you can create custom
missions that will fit your own imagination and will, and with the
"triggers" system you can create endless number of situations and
scenarios from a global war to a tank race. The units are divided into
different classes of troops; each unit got it favorite assignment and
weapon. Except the simple infantry soldiers, there are also anti-tank
troops, anti-air troops, grenadiers, medics, officers, snipers,
saboteurs, pilots, gunners, miners and more. All those create whole
squads that the player can command or be a part of, and use the skills
he had acquired to complete the mission.

Convoys of jeep and tanks will enter and exit the base, helicopters
and airplanes will land and liftoff, and boats will sail away. The
assignments of the soldiers and being assigned by the units'
