for english viewers:

Creates a sub - genre of first-person military simulation. While the genre began to push towards Chrono action scripted reality, more Hollywood, creators of OFP Czechs chose to invest in realism and freedom. The result, despite the bugs, the game was ahead of its time in several ways, including its open world and a variety of vehicles that populated the world and include the ability to log into them and start to drive and fly them.

Never played that game, but the feeling that short clip gives, makes me hungry for it.

There's something with the atmosphere in many old games...

I get that same feeling. Nostalgia...

I recently replayed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which is ten years old. Might have to replay Operation Flashpoint soon. It's funny, when I was younger there were some missions that I thought were just so damn hard to complete.. Now that I'm older, they don't seem to be that difficult, as I thought they were.

Ah sweet memories watching the vid.

I've downloaded and installed Arma Cold War Assualt on my kids computers, I have OFP on mine. I am starting them out with some old school Co-Op on Nogova near Petrovice. I love it. They are complaining like crazy.

"This is hard....I get shot once and die, that guy shot me from that far away? BF3 I can get shot like four times and not die. Why can't I take a tank out with one shot from a RPG? Oh my god, the last time we played this mission they didn't go that way....what the heck?"

My oldest gets some time with Arma and Arma2...little bit of MP time. He is 10 and I am pounding it in his head that he needs to be a team player and not a TK'er. He has left his PS3 alone for a long time now. He isn't really interested in playing Black Ops or BF3 lately.

Go BIS. A second generation is playing your games now.

I would hope so. It's a brain game. It allows for creativity through a mission editor, endless hours of editing time who knows what those kids will create.
