I own all of the Xbox 360 games, but I need people to play it with. And the only people willing to play a tactical shooter with me are the same people that I play Ghost Recon with. And we rarely have time to get together anymore.
Added this to the community review thread.

And we rarely have time to get together anymore. Added this to the community review thread. I would be willing, I don't own a 360 but have them for PS3. I did a lot of millsim between ages of 14-17 on games like Arma and Operation Flashpoint. I now have a love/hate with both series, in the same way that someone who obsessively played a ton of wow but quit ends up hating MMOs. Footage from when I played Arma (Flashpoint servers died for millsim much earlier.) |

As I'm not really into realistic military shooters, I never played this series nor know anything about it.
Is it a spiritual predecessor of ARMA, since it's from the same developer?

Yes, the first flashpoint was also the first ARMA, but legal issues drove Bohemia to split off with a new engine and make ARMA 2. |

I have little experience with the series, not enough to give a rating. I have Arma: Cold War Assault which I think is an Operation Flashpoint game that got a name change. Haven't played it much though.

You really got me on this one. I don't know anything about this game other that it is probably popular because I heard the name before.

I forgot just how far back the Flashpoint series went.
The only one I played was Red River. I liked it but I ended up focusing more time into Arma 2 because there were more people playing at the time.

Arrow Flash? Like that shooter on the Genesis? I LOVE games on the Genesis! 5 stares out of 4!
