Damn I love this game, its been a while since i last played it but its still brilliant. Doing the sabotage mission where you are a special ops guy and have to blow up some tanks in a depo.
Well after going through the little village near the start i made my way through the forest to the depo, hiding in a bush on the edge of the depo i scout it out to see whats about. Several tank crews and a patrol of 3 guys. Ok first things first kill the dude on the tower. Ohh no his corpse fell down and they saw it! *ALARM!!!* crap. Back into the forest and i notice a large group of soldiers coming down the mountain looking for me. i wait until they go down into the depo then i run down into a clump of bushes near one of the tank crews. Take care of them and alarm goes off again and the remaining tank crews get in their tanks and drive around the vacinity looking for me. Back up the hill into the forest. The large group are still floating around. Now a long ass run round the other side of the depo up the hill looking down. I creep down a little and pop another tank crew. Alarm goes off again, one of the 2 patrolling bmp's from the little village comes UP the hill. It stops... about 10foot in front of me and turns its engine of.
Time for explosions. Sneak up to the base of the bmp and lay a charge, crawl my way back over the top of the hill and set it off. Alarm off again. I then run half way back round and have a look over the hill. The large group of soldiers is gone.... This is good, must be their tea break or something. One tank crew and the 3 patrolling soldiers remain. I wait. As the patrol is just going past where i want to go I run for it. 10seconds later im inside a bush smack in the middle of the depo. Sometime later the patrol gets back round. They didn't even have time to get their guns out. Then sneek round the nearby building and take care of the last remaining tank crew.
Now for the fun. I jump in a tank and start blowing up the others, i then get hit by a rocket! I'd forgotten about the single soldier with a rocket launcher near the entrance, git turned on the alarm again but i ran round a wasted him once it was off. Now back in the tank and commence carnage.
Interestingly the alarm keeps going off when i get in a tank. Now everytime the alarm goes off 2 nearby helicopters take off and sweap the area for a few mins. Theres a shika (anti aircraft gun) in the depo. WAHEY!! Strike 2 helicopters. Also say goodbye to the rest of the tank, destroyed by their own russian technology.
Now all thats left is a helicopter, what better way to get to the extraction point! I then notice i didn't destroy the ammo dump at the little village by the start, i better fly over and take care of it. Bad idea.
Just so happens one of the bmps i didn't destroy is patrolling where im going. A barriage of fire later and i crash in the forest. Goodbye to and hour of play. But damn it was fun.
I hope that didn't bore u but I thought I'd give an idea of the flexibility of how u do missions, Operation Flashpoint isn't a looker (it wasn't even when it was released) but its still my favourite war game and probably the closest any game has gotten to real war.
