Operation Flashpoint (for anyone who bought it on release back in the day). It was later turned into the Arma series and re-released with this name to fit the series branding. I've played them all - this was the best of the lot IMHO.

I'm a bit sad they never managed to make an equally enjoyable campaign in any of the later installments.

Multiplayer is nice for others I guess, but not really for me.

I believe this game had some interesting anti cheat, it would still let you play if it knew it was cracked but would just make your aim worse and worse until you gave up.

I think that was arma 2. It also turned the player into a pigeon after a while.

Not being a big gamer, I can'comment with much authority. I've played a bunch of Modern Warfare(s) and Battlefields, and Squad. But they all feel pointless to me when ARMA 3 exists.

It's _so_ janky but in my mind way more immersive for reasons I just can't fully explain, though they are something to do with the fact that good comms is the key to fun and success. It's also got a pretty major learning curve...

The community makes the game. The actual game is much less important.

The learning curve just acts as a filter that results in more like-minded people sticking with it.

I think Bohemia parted ways with their publisher Codemasters, who retained the Operation Flashpoint trademark.
