Operation Flashpoint can be adapted and customised in many ways. The highly versatile scripting engine can even be used for Stargate-scenarios. The only limit has been the sky - unfortunately you can't make missions in space!
Cold War Crisis includes 41 missions contained in a file called {{hl|1985.pbo}} within the {{hl|OperationFlashpoint\Campaigns}} directory.


Things that can be changed include available missions, custom vehicles, custom skies, custom special effects, custom GUI, AI, animations, and much more. Unless written otherwise in the readme, these features can be changed without losing single or multiplayer compatibility.
