Operation Flashpoint is the very best. I wish more games looked to that one for inspiration.

There is Armed Assault.

The game is a buggy mess for me and many others, but it was a boatload of fun and for all purposes it is Operation Flashpoint 2 lol

I highly recommend it, just expect some problems running it

If you hate Russians, play World in Conflict, Freedom Fighters and any Soldier of Fortune game. Even Call of Duty 4 has a few anti Russian things but it gets cleaned up towards the end. One way or another, the Russians look stupid in it as well.

Operation flashpoint is the top game set during in the cold war. The game is pretty old so you can pick it up cheap. While the graphics maybe dated the game is still a lot of fun.

because it would be identical to BF2.

Except no Chinese army, and the Arab army would be replaced by Russians.

Gameplay, weapons...all would stay the same. Though it would be fun to fight in East Germany, Poland, Ukraine, etc.

I think a cold war BF would be cool. But yeah, the problem would be that the weapons would the same AKs and the vehicles would be the same BMPs and T-series tanks and BTRs and such. Different locales though and maybe the Chinese would get involved. BF2 also didn't have a Hind outside of SF.

With the new beta patch 1.12 many of the bugs at release are fixed.

But I agree if you want a cold war era game, OFP hands down, an amazing game.

It seems like people've already beaten me to the Operation Flashpoint. Armed Assault has the Cold War Rearmed Mod demo currently released, and people are already making things for that. Considering it's coming from the developers, the mod is decent, and you get the original islands that were in OFP.

RTS, no doubt, World In Conflict.

Freedom Fighters left a great impression on me, especially for it's time. I still occasionally play it.

That would be difficult to explain because the Cold War wasn't a war. :o But if you mean a spin on the events in which a war was actually started, then that would be cool.
