The new title is there only because BIS can't release the patch under the original name of the game, since it's now owned by Codemasters.
NOTE : Please don't confuse the original Operation Flashpoint with the ARMA series proper - it's only a predecessor and set in the same universe, but otherwise completely separate. The patch also removes the Codemasters-produced Red Hammer expansion and omits it from new installations of Cold War Assault. Applying this patch to an installed copy of OFP will therefore rename the game to ARMA : Cold War Assault.
Because of the whole legal debacle with Codemasters, Bohemia Interactive reclaimed the rights to the assets.
Two expansion packs and an XBOX port later, its developer Bohemia Interactive Studio and publisher Codemasters split ways BIS took the rights to the engine, Codemasters got the rights to the name. OFP let players roam on massive islands several square kilometers in size and use a wide variety of vehicles however they see fit, and all this at a time when most FPS games limited the player to oppressive indoor settings and small outdoor arena-style maps, and typically only featured usable vehicles in on-rails shooting sequences, if at all.īeing the first ever game of Czech developer Bohemia Interactive Studios, OFP was a bit rough around the edges graphically and had more than its fair share of bugs, but its gameplay innovations and the sheer scope of the game won it favor with gamers and critics. Released in 2001, Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis is a Tactical Shooter/ Soldier Sim that was quite revolutionary for its time, earning critical acclaim for its innovative open world gameplay and consistent focus on realism (so much so that the engine was even adapted for real militaries to use as a training simulator). PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
