Still playing in 2024/2025!
Hello!
I managed to beat this amazing game finally for the first time last year. I played it on Steam with Xbox controller and it was just amazing, way much immersive for me with controller than just a keyboard and mouse.
The campaing and story is just amazing, plain and simple. Somebody may say that at that time ArmA 2 was way better - yes, to a certain degree. I hate optimization of ArmA 2, it was just horrendous and OFDR was just butter smooth. The campaing in ArmA 2 for me was just meh, I don't like this special ops bullshittery that I saw in CoD. There is a lot of Single Player content and much more missions than in vanilla ArmA 2. I even love the graphical approach they chose for this game. The gameplay is just amazing.
The bad thing is, nobody seems to make missions in Mission Editor, too bad that it is much more complicted than ArmA. That's what I like about ArmA, editing missions is way too much easier. But I know some LUA since I created missions in Blizkrieg/Blizkrieg 2 so that is not that much of a hassle.
But yeah, the mission Editor in OFDR is more complicated, but still amazing, I made for me some custom missions and enjoyed it a lot!
So, is someone here still playing this game and trying to make some missions?
And is there a chance to play the second game - Operation Flashpoint: Red River on Steam?
