    Hidden&Dangeous, the sad part is that it was a good game at heart, but it was completily unplayable, never seen a game this buggy, wasn't even in the beta-fase. Such a shame because it could have been so good.

    Agreed. You can get killed by anything in the game. Including stepping off of a five-inch curb.

    I always remember the PC Gamer review of that when someone called it a "bug-ridden piece of crap" and they said "no, its a bug-ridden piece of genius". After a while I tried to complete most of the missions on my own - much easier without your colleagues randomly deciding to come out of cover and firing their Brens at a German on the other side of the map.

    For me - and this is going to be controversial - Operation Flashpoint. I *very* quickly became bored of all my squad mates contriving to get themselves killed in 30 seconds and being given the "mission failed" message. I'm like "well, what the hell am I supposed to do about that?" I remember one mission, being driven to a wood in a jeep. The 2 other guys in the jeep managed to get themselves killed straightaway by a Russian sniper. I then spent over an hour crawling through that wood, killed the ruskie, drove the jeep back to base and...

    [MISSION FAILED



    The other one that stands out is one of the NHL series....02 or 03? I forget the numbers as the years blur into one. Anyway, 00 and 01 had been hugely popular, each one getting more realistic, so of course EA decided to bring out this horrid, terrible arcade piece of trash. You think Rome dumbed down the TW series? You guys ain't seen nothing compared to what EA did to the NHL series. About the only people who liked it were 5 year olds. The next year was just the same. Thankfully after 2 years of awfulness EA started listening to the fans again and the games got much better. I still play 06 all the time.

Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    OPF gets more interesting with the Resistance and Red Hammer expansion pack, especially with the ability to keep looted weapons from mission to mission (you carry around a truck and you load up captured weapons in it) in Resistance, and the inclusion of the G36 and the Steyr Aug rifles (weapons so deadly and accurate, it's only present in a few missions). This helps make the game easier. But OPF is touted as a realistic shooter. If you go in thinking it will be like Crysis, you're in for a shock.

    Well OFP isn't the worst but it was pretty damn bad.
    Always pissed me off the fact that you weren't allowed to continue the campaign if you had too low ratings. Codemaster did the same on pretty all of their racing games at the time(finish atleast 3rd or it's game over) and that is what OFP will always remind me off, a war racing game.
