Well I am pleased to read your introduction. You stated the fact that Operation Flashpoint is so different than Call of Duty, you can not even compare them.
I have only played the first Call of Duty, and even that game is not similar to Operation Flashpoint. If a reviewer insists on using a common reference, then they need to make sure it is comparable. Call of Duty is not a simulation, and is not a good reference. Except to say how different they are.
Anyway, I read your review, and am pleased you found it a worthy experience. I shall pick up the game myself for PC.
Also, you said "goo" insteag of "Good", here,
So it's a goo idea, when engaging, to order your men to move to cover (Right bumper and up on the D-pad, remember!).
