Operation Flashpoint is one of those games that you can play for hours upon hours. You may have already read reviews about the vast enviornment, the whole slew of weapons, and the accurate recreation of anxiety on the battlefield. Now those are what gives this game my high score. However, I failed to come across anyone mentioning some of the following flaws. The voice overs are really annoying. Especially in the tanks. When you are a tank commander, you give orders, and its put into the queue, yet they have to announce everything. So what you get is, you see an enemy tank in front of you, and all you hear is "FORWARD, FORWARD, ENEMY T-72 12'O CLOCK... OH NO 1 IS DOWN, 2 IS DOWN..." before you get to the FIRE command. Also another graphical glitch that is so obvious is the reload animation. Sure when you are standing it is not noticable, but when you are prone and reload... well there is NO reload animation. Your hand moves towards the magazine, looking like you are casting a spell that magically refills the bullets into your gun, you hear a click, and BAM! you have yourself a fully loaded gun. I wonder if the developers notice this, or if its one of those things that is IMPOSSIBLE to fix, because out of all their numerous patches and even expansion packs, this is one problem they have and probably will never fix.
