Released in 2001, ''Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis'' is a [[Tactical Shooter]]/[[Simulation Game|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 [[wikipedia:VBS1|training simulator]]). 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 [[Unexpected Gameplay Change|on-rails shooting sequences]], if at all.

▲== The ''Operation Flashpoint'' series provides examples of the following tropes ==
* [[A-Team Firing]]: Averted. Enemies are plenty accurate, sometimes shooting you from a few hundred yards off. Your own soldiers have the same abilities as enemy soldiers. Try to shoot from anything but point-blank range with the crosshair turned off and not using iron sights, and this trope is played horribly straight.
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Sam Nichols is actually a subversion. While he's pretty skilled in piloting various transport and attack choppers, he himself admits (and even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]]) his inexperience in flying the A-10 Thunderbolt and other fixed-wing aircraft.
