Ok whats really about this game? Basically if you read the story for it, to simply say, its just a war to claim one of the land called Skira, over the oil fields and the land is just somewhere high north from Japan.

Got the game yesterday and tried playing around for awhile, mi personal opinions are, too many people will never liked this game at all, or i should say about 90% as this game is just the same as how you will try to deal with in real life. Most people will prefer games like battlefield or call of duty as far as i can see.
Basically you play as US to help the Russians to take down the China and win and war over this Skira island where everything is just open field and hill and trees with some small huts over some areas, no more usual urban warfare. Its not easy, cause the enemy heli can spot you quickly if they happened to pass by and thats it for you. Remind as this is real life shooting where one bullet could even kill you.
-5 Tips For Survival- (From the manual)
-Use the terrain to your advantage. Even small folds in the ground or a less direct route to your destination can minimize your exposure to enemy fire
-If you can see the enemy, he CAN see you. Don't take for granted that the enemy is not aware of you and maneuvering against you
-Look after your men and they will look after you, never sacrifice your men to make small gains. You will need them
-If your plan A is not working, break contact and re-think again
-If all else FAILS, call in the artillery!!
As far i just played 2 missions from the campaign, its kinda fun where you are in total control, and the movements are quite real even when you change weapons and so on, it take a short delay for switching it. And due to some of my wrong decision in the 2nd mission, always got spotted and heli came to haunt me down even if i was hiding in building and shot me through as the bullets are strong enough for penetration. So again, tactical FPS where even a small mistake can even cost your life.
Overall for this game i would give it a 9 out of 10 for tactical gameplay and movements and shootings, if you are a fan or want to try out real life shooting and war in FPS, flashpoint is one of them.
-updates of adding details-
-The recoil of the gun is only jerking back and forth
-The stamina after long run does not affect your aiming
-There is no lean to left or right like the COD
these few point i would say it maybe bad towards this particular game as its a little restricted to the movements esp to QCB. Which my friend let me know this is quite to point and i will just state it
