Operation Flashpoint: Elite Xbox Screens

[Akeldama]

I'll keep this short and sweet. Codemasters has just announced that Operation Flashpoint: Elite has gone gold and is set for release on October 28 in Europe and November 8 in North America, and to celebrate has released some new screenshots. You can take a look at these over at Boomtown (http://xbox.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=9516).

I loved the PC original and I'm now itching to play this on Xbox Live..."

This was a pretty good PC title that I had a lot of fun with. However, given that the graphics are a little dated and it launches 3 weeks before the 360, I don't think that this game is going to do as well as I'd like it to.

OPFAP is one of those games I won't uninstall, because I never know when I'll get the urge to play what was the zenith of soldier sims.

That was a fun game. Maybe i'll give the xbox version a shot.

I 3rd the motion - great PC game that really didn't get as much recognition as it deserved - I remember playing this all night co-op multiplayer with my friends before BF1942 came out... Also note: Operation Flashpoint (PC) was what I would consider an 'anti-war war-game' (just like Platoon was an anti-war war-movie), in that it was actually rather disturbing when you'd died (ie a bloody burned corpse in a burned out jeep), you often didn't know where you got killed from (often times my friends and I would draw straws for who had to cross the town square first), and they would also put some anti-war quote up on the screen when you died, ie"You can just as much win a war as you can win an earthquake"... in multiplayer you got re-incarnated as a seagull and could fly around the battlefield until the match was over... pretty surreal.

All this talk is making me re-install Operation Flashpoint. RIGHT NOW!!!

i hope they fix the robot like movement of your character. it got very frustrating playing the PC version and spending 20 seconds trying to fit though a door.
