Hints & Tips – Operation Flashpoint

Note that all keys and key combinations described below are based on the default settings.

Player controls

The 'walk' key - F. This key is very useful for moving around slowly. Flashpoint defaults your guy to a jog. With the F key you can slow it right down and move a lot more carefully.

Squad controls

When you first buy Operation Flashpoint and start the campaign, you will be part of a squad where an AI unit is the leader. Eventually however you will become the leader of your own squads. It is therefore a good idea to learn the controls and radio commands as soon as possible and to get as much out of them as you can. The beauty of playing the game is the amount of control you have over your men. Given time and practise your squad control will give you the edge in most situations.
