Negative, those are screens  from ArmA,
Armed Assault the follow up game of Operation flashpoint.
ITs OPF 1.5 ,and is not published by Codemasters although its made by Bohemmia Interactive like OPF.

Codemasters will publish  Operation Flashpoint 2 in 2008 or 9.

ArmA is fully compatible with OPF ,all addons can be converted to ArmA, although  its a pain in the ass to do ,yet possible.

Models like the one in the screen would not be possible with the OPF engine,..  you would get like 600 texture bits hehe,overwhelming any computer availabe today.
Anyways there is nothing compareable out there to OPF and or ARMA.
Besides the VBS1 modular system also developed by BI.
You can do things like  Get out the barraks jump in a civil mustang and drive for an hour shight seeing..  ,or  board a tracor or  fly a Biplane on a civ airport  ETC etc.  the programm got a Highly enthusiastic Addon community and they are dedicated to put nearly every thinkable thing into the game.
From  the whole vehicle park of the coastgard  to  tractors ,tanks,apcs planes ,.. muscle and other cars,. etc .etc.
that was possible with opf and even more it is in ArmA.

Usually if you like OPf ,you cant stand Stupid Programms like the whole battlefield series ,..
OR even more laughable shooters like quake or counterstrike.

Because OPF is more a sim then anything else.
However if you know ghostrekon and like highly realistic team work, with one hit kills and no respawn, you are ready for OPF or ArmA

OR even better you are In the millitary and like to train tactics to some extend.
NEarly every army on this planet got their units in OPF made by the guys who  do this everyday,or did till their  duty tour ended.
Lots of those Squads are former  Millitary staff ,some even only allow only ex milltary folks into their ranks.


Edit: no offense storvik i see you are our mod for  the battlefield series,...well now you know what i think about it..;)

I like the Battlefield series but with our mods to it make the games a lot better. (Still no one has been able to dog fight me in a canyon when I am flying a Harrier through it)  have OFP but never heard of the other parts you mentioned. Can you download those or have to buy the disks from somewhere?

First, for most  mods and addons you need Opf resistance. or even Better would be Operation flashpoint Goty edition .
It has all addons  opf Resistance and red hammer.

One of my favourite mods is The one portraying the finish army,with their own campaign.
They also have a ww2 adon out portraying their confrontation with the soviets.
Here s the link

A really good mod is Battle over hokaido made by jananese army guys, featuring futuristic mech like battle systems additional to theyr regular army units.
Must have mod
http://ofpboh.himitsukichi.com/


here you can get alot of single  addons a must checkout as they got surely some compatible with the base OPf ,in case you dont own GOTY edition.

A worth site with must have stuff is

Or BAs Tonal island, its incredible tense.

I think GOTY=( Game OF the year) is the gold edition. As long as it got Resistance in it you are fine..

Hmm redhammer is based on resistance stuff, check out how many campaigns you got, there should be the original 1985 Us , then resistance and the rerdhammer one.. if thats the case   all should be well.

Further  patch up to 1.96
then install the DX dll
http://ofpc.de/downloads_search.xhtml?cat=&search=dxdll

and eventually the fdf mod as this one is technically the best imho.
Graphics will be  ,.. well check it out its worth it.


This ,btw is the repository with proly the most single addons, from zombies to UFO`s, Starship troopers ...etc
http://ofp.gamepark.cz/

You can expect several hours for viewing alone whats there , not to speak of downloading it.

I bought ArmA today... so far it's a good game, some stunning environmental effects.
Not gotten my teeth into it yet, i'm still abosrbed into the updated X3 Reunion with Cycrows ship installer.... There's a vert nice excelsior and BSG in it  ;D

Anywho, the UK edition of Arma is much more stable than the Euro release.. but i'm patching her up to 1.05 i think it is.
Anywho, so far, she seems like a worthy follow on to Flashpoint.
God said to the Welsh: 'I am going to give you this glorious land of lakes and mountains.' So where's the catch, asked the Welsh? 'Wait until you see the neighbours,' replied God.
