You can command a squad up to 12, and you can order them to do anything you want. Flashpoint has 4 islands (5 once you've got Resistance) that are very big. From putting your gun on your back, to getting in a vehicle, to lighting a campfire. You can do it on foot, or you can go that enemy base near by and use their own hardware against them. Even though its getting a bit old now.If you like this type of game, do yourself a favour.and "GET IT NOW" Everything about it is just about perfect. The most complete,engaging and realistic, Tactical Military Shooter I have played ever. Overall I would give the OFP series 10/10. On another mission I had to destroy a fuel dump and then escape on foot to the LZ to be picked up, instead, after blowing the dump, I stole a tank and drove to a village on the other side of the island and engaged a group of enemy tanks and troops, destroying all of them, then drove overland, smashing down trees as I went, to the LZ. One of the missions I remember was preventing a column of tanks from reaching a nearby township, I mined the roadway, and after all but one of the tanks, was destroyed, I snuck up behind it and placed a charge, then crept away to safety before detonating it, very satisfying indeed. The choice is your's, thats the main draw with this game, you are not hobbled with how you achieve you objectives, you decide everything. The tank campaigns are absolutely terrific, you and your crew can jump in and out of the tanks at will if you feel you need to, or steal another tank/truck/tractor/plane/helo/ to complete a mission. I played this game and its expansion packs for about a year, which is unheard of for a predominately single player game. All missions are in real time, so if you start a mission at 2am and you are still there 3hours later, (which is very possible with a game as complex as this)you can watch the sun coming up (which is breathtaking in its own right)whilst being shot at, lol. Some of the campaigns require a solo effort, IE, to snipe a dignitary at an opposing army base, whilst others require you to take charge of a group of soldiers to conduct assaults, search and destroy, convoy protection, fly A10 tank killers, escape from an enemy camp by foot, steal a tank, steal a helicopter, steal a jeep, you name it, if you can see it you can drive or fly it. The realism and tension offered by this game is simply astounding. Its some time now since I played this game but I do remember being totally immersed in the realism of the struggle for power in the Island group of Maldon.
