Operation Flashpoint is the title of two separate series of first person tactical military video games. The first series comprises Operation Flashpoint, ArmA , and ARMA 2, developed by Bohemia Interactive Studio. The second is an unofficial spinoff series comprising Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and Operation Flashpoint: Red River, developed by Codemasters. Cold War Crisis's gameplay varies significantly depending on the player's role, but the game is best described as a tactical shooter with significant vehicle elements and minor real-time tactics elements. Set in 1985, the game takes... place on three fictional islands: the island-states of Everon and Malden, and later in the game, on the barren Russian island of Kolgujev which is the staging point for the renegade Russian forces invading Everon and Malden. ArmA: Armed Assault is a tactical military first- and third-person shooter which was developed by a 40 member team at Bohemia Interactive , an independent game developer based in the Czech Republic.
