Arma: Cold War Assault Mac/Linux

What a classic! It comes with the issues of the original:[list] [*] missions/scripts are not super-solid ... sometimes helicopters crash, tanks get stuck, etc.pp. [*] the UI is far from polished [*] creating/editing missions is time-consuming [*] it looks outdated [*] etc.pp. [/list] [b]BUT[/b], it also comes with all the good stuff:[list] [*] two campaigns with a lot of different missions and funny (as in retro-fun ;) ) cut-scenes [*] no mission will ever play exactly the same [*] big islands with forests, hills and towns (one can navigate inside of buildings) [*] one can drive cars, trucks, armoured vehicles (tanks!!) ^_^ [*] one can fly helicopters (Hind, Apache, Mi-17, Cobra, ...) and airplanes (not too much fun IMHO) [*] a complex editor to design your own (scriptable) missions [/list] PS: I am happy to pay a (small) price for the Linux-port - the Summer-Sale was a no-brainer. The performance is good.... and what other games allows you to fly the Hind or Apache??? :) PPS: Looking for a retro single-player FPS-experience I have not tested Multiplayer yet.

First off: This is the good old "Operation Flashpoint" Great game and great port. This game brings back so many great memories of the time spend in this game. At first I was pretty blown away by the bad graphics but as soons as you hit up the campaign and sound, the fun starts again. Definetely worth the 4€.

I bought this game several months ago. Now it's on sale and I wanted to say that I really appreciate the support and I don't mind separated versions for Mac/Linux at all. As a Linux-exclusive gamer I would even prefer to have an option to buy separated Mac/Linux versions of all games. Good game, good port.

Pro's: Performance just like on Windows, maybe better (don't know about Mac); Works fine with opensource drivers, even with nouveau (on Linux); This is not Wine port; Many aspect ratio settings, inc. triple head 12:3, 16:3, 24:5. Con's: Not working online multiplayer, just LAN; Not included "Red Hammer" campaign (why?). Thanks to Bohemia for supporting Linux! Wish we all see more of your great games on Linux in the future!

I have spent much more time playing the non-Steam Windows version. Bohemia Interactive should make this version (and the Windows version) completely free-to-play because it doesn't support them anymore. It's wrong that Bohemia Interactive sells the Linux/Mac version separately. Other publishers provide free Linux versions of their games. Both Codemasters and Bohemia Interactive should warn people more clearly (on their websites, in the game, and on the Steam Store page of the game) that versions of Operation Flashpoint: Resistance from 1.75 to 1.91 may delete your data. There are some people who still play old versions of games. You can't fix your problems by ignoring and hiding them. This "attitude" actually worsens your situation. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint:_FAQ:_MultiPlayer#Danger.21_OFP_can_delete_your_entire_disk_partition. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint:_FAQ:_Troubleshooting#Danger.21_OFP_can_delete_your_entire_disk_partition. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint:_Resistance_Version_History#Fixes https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint:_Troubleshooting#Multi_Player Even though this game is from 2001, it has many problems, errors, and limitations to be a "hardcore and realistic war simulator" or even playable. For example, you can still fall off the ladder of a radio tower because of a game defect. I have read that this game has problems with modern PCs (you should set the visibility to 2000 or less, and the terrain detail to "very low" in video options). There is no official in-depth guide that explains everything about the game. And this game is not vegan friendly. Very few people still play the multiplayer mode. Bohemia Interactive can make the multiplayer mode much more populated by creating official servers and gifting various content (games, downloadable content, etc.) to players who play on these servers. The developers should have used system requirements of premium PCs of the early 2000s instead of common PCs during the development of this game. But the developers were more interested in creating "Easter eggs" than fixing and improving their game. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint:_FAQ:_Installation#What_are_the_system_requirements.3F https://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/ptech/05/08/power.PCs.idg/index.html Information about this game on the https://community.bistudio.com website is outdated. It's better for people to make their own free games, software, websites, and guides. Terry A. Davis made his own operating system (TempleOS) alone. Donations work as proven by the success of women content creators.

Played this game labeled as 'Operation Flashpoint', still have the CD, had many hours of fun and the game is very challenging with great realism, which makes up for the aged graphics. I seem to remember that this game was used in Military School's in the US for training?, but I might be wrong, anyway, it's great to play this game again today on a modern Pc, I recall my old laptop back in 2003 struggled to handle the graphics & loading!...many thanks for the freebie!.

Wow it works really well on my Linux Mint PC! And its good old ArmA: Cold War Assault too - this is great!
