Realism in Operation Flashpoint vs RO
- Thread starter takadi
- Start date
OFP is a simulation of what WW3 would be like.
RO is a simulation of what WW2 was like.
So basically RO is more about infantry and the some what modern tank warfare. While OFP is all about precision and modern technology. Kinda hard to compare though, its like apples and oranges to some.

hmm I would have thought operation flashpoint to be an FPS type thing too, but it seems to attract alot of older more mature experienced audiences who are especially into the whole simulation thing. I'm planning on buying it, but I've read some mixed reviews and I'm not sure whether it's the simulator it claims to be.
I also wondered if there were any other WWII simulators out there. The main raeson I bought RO was because all the simulators out there were modern based, not WWII. I just wondered if the next step is to make RO something like operation flashpoint. Plus operation flashpoint was made a while ago, so I'd think there's something good in the future of RO.

You could better wait a month, cause Armed Assault will be released by then.takadi said:
Armed Assault is basically Operation Flashpoint and Operation Flashpoint: Resistance (same time, same map, same missions, same war, yadda-yadda) but it has a graphical overhaul and some realism checks.
It also adds a new island codenamed: "Sarah" and Join-In-Multiplayer which finally makes it worth playing online!
I heard it will have a budget game price like €30's or equal.
Don't forget that it's huge, so the graphics are amazing for the sheer size of this game: (not only talking about the 25km

Also, Brothers in Arms is good game to get some feelings out. It is not actually simulator but the squad leading works and F.E. BiA has very good sounds, and if you get dirt in your face, you can dirt in your cameraview, and also if you get raindrops in your eye, you see the same effect etc.
Also, the gameplay is rather fun, especially on Authentic- difficulty, since only save is in the beginning of the mission, you really need to proceed carefully and master your squadleading techniques

Well, OFP wins in map sizes, which is RO's imo. biggest flaw.
Also OFP goes as all around platform, while RO is dedicated for WW2.
Are you sure i thought the release date was months awaySgtH3nry3 said:You could better wait a month, cause Armed Assault will be released by then.http://www.armedassault.com

It has lens flare, raindrop-lens, dirt-lens, blood-lens effects, cinematic music and the scenes are pretty dramatic though.
It's more the movie-FPS game, rather than simulator or realism FPS.
According to Bohemia Interactive Studios and ofp.info it was somewhere in April/May...Ron said:
I like some of the points you all made but I think it's hard to compare the realism between the two eras...
The 1940's realism was much different in terms of ballistics and armor than the modern day high velocity bullets and reinforced armor plating.
But ya, both games IMO offer very realistic simulations of warfare in their respective eras.

OFP was nice, but the movement was so jerky and the fact that one could clip through buildings really detracted from the immersion. RO wins in this aspect.
