Is Operation Flashpoint - Elite still worth playing in 2026?
An Xbox port of Bohemia Interactive's cult military simulator, Operation Flashpoint Elite leans on a realism rare for its day, where a single bullet can be fatal and vast battlefields demand patience and tactics. The sense of authentic war, the freedom of approach and the scale of the missions stay striking. The austere handling, a rough production and a high demand deter fans of immediate action. A title for devotees of military simulation and realistic tactics.
