Operation Flashpoint VS arma 3

[kbmodigity]

I am an original player of operation flashpoint. In my own stupidity over the years I have found that arma 3 is the evolution of that game. I loved the original and loved doing MP with people on thier selfmade maps and missions, either PVE or PVP, ALL of it was fun.

I am asking people with my old school feel for the original. Does arma 3 hold up to that same feel? Back in the day there were no exploits, cheats,, stuff like that. Are there any now?

Do people still make thier own missions like they did back in the day?

I am looking for a game that is like the original feel of OFP with the freedom of everything, but also the deadly version too. 1 shot can kill you, or if your lucky might be dragging yourself around the map if you get hit unless a medic can patch you up.

Since the game is on sale i just want peoples opinions, especialy those that played the original OFP.

Thanks

DayZ, Wasteland and Life (roleplaying) mods brought a lot of.. uhhm.. casual players... with it. 90% (not actual number) of all servers are now these, in my opinion, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gamemodes, which doesn't have much to do with Armas original feeling. For proper milsim gamplay I recommend joining a clan. For PVP I recommend trying out Tactical Battlefield mod.

Yes, very much. Check the workshop.

In Arma 3, body armor is now actually affective, and not just visual. And since pretty much all enemies you'll be fighting are convential forces with body armor, it can sometimes get frustrating to kill. If you don't have body armor on, then 1 shot kill is likely the case.

If you opflash vet, you will feel right at home with A3.

One more question, is the DLC worth getting? might as well while on sale if it is.

If fly alot choppers might be worth it, I like the guns and BI so got marksman, if playing lots of vanilla def get marksman however if keen on lots of mods might not use that much but really nice guns.

Also forgot to mention if you know opflash editor its exactly the same just with more options with script lines etc and great modules that help greatly.

No contest; ArmA 3 has no soul/effort put into any kind of meaningful campaign; while the original game had it in spades. The Resistance campaign is one of the best campaigns ever made for a game. ArmA 3 is like the dollar store to the original game's Woolworth's.

From someone who hasn't played the campaign's of either, outside of campaigns Arma 3 smashes Operation Flashpoint in every department.

Wow, I asked this question 8 years ago. Did you think I was still looking for an answer?

I would recommend looking up CWR on the workshop, the mod and its team created alot of the original OFP scenarios and ... campaign you will like it and it will bring that nostalgia back to you for OFP but alot better with more details.

You can get the original Operation Flashpoint+Resistance for 99 cents when on sale via GoG; so why compromise for a lesser experience than the full campaigns with all the original content vs a degraded version with tons of issues?
