Operation Flashpoint: Resistance Demo

Operation Flashpoint is one of the oldest tactical shooter series out there, with quite a history under its belt. After the first title pleased gamers with deep tactical options, a large collection of weapons and many interesting scenarios to take part in, a few expansion packs and add-ons were released, all of which aim to extend the experience and give you more of the same.

Operation Flashpoint: Resistance, as the name implies, revolves around a rebellion and the brave people who took part in it, namely the resistance of the Czechoslovakians against the Soviets. Hence, the gameplay is slightly different from the previous episodes, since you are now forced into more stealthy operations and you do not posses quite the same firepower as you did before.

Other than that, the game plays out in the same manner, with you in control of an entire team of rebels at once, with various objectives that must be accomplished in an orderly fashion. Using tactics and strategy, you must overcome superior enemy numbers and clear certain locations, as well as destroy vehicles, planes and even buildings.

Naturally, there are a lot of new improvements when it comes to content as well, mostly in the form of new equipment and weapons for you to use throughout the missions. On the other hand, since most of the scenarios are now based on your ability to sneak and ambush foes, the new weapons are in tune with the new attitude, although they include rocket launchers and assault rifles as well.

Gladly, this expansion comes with a few graphics upgrades as well, such as better textures, improved special effects and plenty of brand new, detailed locations. The character animation has been slightly improved as well, which makes for a more realistic gameplay and a refined collision system, in order to eliminate some clipping bugs.

Despite some gameplay changes, Operation Flashpoint: Resistance maintains the feeling of the series and provides you with the same amount of tactical options throughout the campaign. Hence, you are still in control of every aspect when it comes to how you complete the missions.
