The first time you experience bf3 maxed out running 100+ fps...you'll find yourself intentionally staring into the sun because it's so damn beautiful.

The original Operation Flashpoint made it's way to the Xbox, and the two sequels to consoles as well, so it's possible. I just don't think the military sim market is heavy on the console end. There is so much you miss out on when you take it away from PC. And not just mods.



Flash Point Red River was awesome on PS3

I see where this is going


Here's the evolution in just one page. You can see my quote around the middle

quote:

How much we talking for a PC that is better than a PS4?


quote:

$500'ish or cheaper


quote:

$500 budget...but I can get this for only a few $ more...and this is better so I don't want to skimp there....maybe a few $ towards this for the performance differenc.....gotta have a sweet monitor and gaming kbm....what the heck, throw a few more GB of RAM in that bad boy.....$1200 later


quote:

For about $150 more you could upgrade the CPU and motherboard and have a really nice system. $50 more than that and you can add an SSD to run your OS on.

So, apparently $800 sets me up good?

For $200 more you could have a $1000 PC

You wouldn't want this game on anything but PC. What makes it awesome is the huge mod community and the insanely robust mission editor.

I don't know if anyone was big into OFP, but I used to run one of the most popular fan web sites for Operation Flashpoint.

I think I ended up paying around $850 for my build. I got a MOBO/CPU combo deal at Microcenter and just picked up everything else from there. The only thing that would probably be better to order online would have been the GPU but I didn't feel like waiting

Keep in mind I already had two monitors, speakers, headset, and I'm using an old kbm

Also, kbm doesn't take that long to adjust to. If I can do it, anyone can
