Flashpoint Demo

Your chance to try out the stunning new Cold War combat game from Bohemia Interactive

Since we first ran across the game at a Codemasters press event just a few months ago, Operation Flashpoint has rapidly become one of our most anticipated releases for this year. Featuring a mixture of both on-foot and in-vehicle action to create a virtual battlefield on a truly epic scale, it's certainly an ambitious game for a small Czech company. And judging from the early alpha code we got our hands on last month things are certainly looking very promising. Now you can try it out for yourself, with the release of a small (64Mb) playable demo featuring a single mission in which you must neutralise hostile forces as part of an infantry squad. You can grab it from any of the following outlets -
