The Operation Flashpoint game should just have this entry : http://www.giantbomb.com/operation-flashpoint-cold-war-crisis/61-5333/

These few games should be merged together with the first as they are mostly a repackage of the same game for PC but with expansions or what not:

  1. http://www.giantbomb.com/operation-flashpoint-gold-edition/61-20254/        -----      Operation Flashpoint: Gold Edition 
  2. http://www.giantbomb.com/operation-flashpoint-game-of-the-year-edition/61-19299/   -----    Operation Flashpoint (Game of the Year Edition)
  3. http://www.giantbomb.com/operation-flashpoint-elite/61-19649/               -----             Operation Flashpoint: Elite
  • The 1st one is basically the original game with the Red Hammer campaign added.
  • The 2nd one is a repackage of the Gold Edition but it includes the expansion pack Operation Flashpoint: Resistance.
  • The 3rd game is the Xbox version of Operation Flashpoint.

Would be great if this mess be sorted soon thanks.

The Xbox version of Operation Flashpoint was fairly significantly reworked, if I recall. The graphics were totally overhauled and the mission structure was a bit different (at least early on it was) in addition to completely redone sounds, exclusive missions and other nice additions (link). Shame that they never backported it to the PC, because the framerate (and resulting jumpy control) really killed it for me. Other than that, it was far more polished than the PC release.

I otherwise agree on the other two, though.

I see thanks for the heads up on that. I was pondering on whether I should have added the Xbox version in but thanks for the feedback. I'll leave the Xbox version in my opening posts though, I think I will let the moderators decide on this since they may conclude that the changes may not be enough to consider having an entry for just for itself and instead just be noted on the main Operation Flashpoint article.

Hey guys,

As I see it, all three should still say separate. Here's my reasoning:

1) Gold Edition: Added a HUGE chunk of new gameplay. It'd be equal to, say, Call of Duty 4 being released initially only with the Marine campaign, and then later releasing the SAS side of the game in a Gold Edition. It was a huge new incorporation to the Op Flashpoint. Lets keep it separate.

2) GOTY edition added in an expansion pack, making it a compilation. At Giant Bomb we make retail compilations their own page

3) Seems this has been dealt with by you guys. Keeping separate.
