Operation Flashpoint (series)/Trivia


 * Fan Nickname : OFP
 * What Could Have Been : The game was first designed with the intention of creating a purely non-public military sim, but the devs changed their plans already in the late 90s and made the VBS versions of the game only after it achieved significant commercial success. Also, EA Games and other big publishers declined to publish the original OFP, with the general reasoning being that war-themed FPSs and other games have no real following or future. After the release of OFP, a suspicious number of exactly such games flooded the video game market. And the genre is still going strong. The use of "iron-sighting" in FPSs also became more popular after OFP than ever before.
