OXM : Operation Flashpoint 2 review

Mike Channel from OXM UK writes:

"We like to think of it as tough love. Spend ages sprinting across a field toward the enemy emplacement only to get a bullet planted deep in your melon when you’re still 200 meters away, breathing your last in a foreign land, far from home and surrounded by hostile troops.

Anybody who’s grown used to "going Rambo" and charging up to enemies in Call of Duty is in for a very speedy learning experience in the first couple of missions in Operation Flashpoint."

Verdict

So compelling, you’ll forgive its quirks

Uppers

* Massive, atmospheric location

* Satisfying long-range combat

* As close as you want to get to war

Downers

* Sometimes gets confused

* Haphazard checkpointing
