About This Game
Operation Flashpoint (2001), developed by Bohemia Interactive and published by Codemasters, is a landmark first-person tactical shooter in PC gaming. Set during a fictional 1985 conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, the game emphasizes realism and strategic combat. Unlike linear shooters like Quake, it offers open-world environments, mission flexibility, and authentic military simulation, even used for real-world army training.
Players can command squads, access period-accurate weapons, and operate a diverse range of vehicles—from tanks to planes. With its non-linear gameplay and immersive mechanics, Operation Flashpoint revolutionized tactical PC games and remains a milestone in military gaming.
