Operation Flashpoint: Elite is a military shooter and simulator developed by Bohemia Interactive Studio, released in 2005 exclusively for Xbox. Set during the Cold War, the game places players in realistic combat scenarios across open-ended environments that support a variety of playstyles and roles. Players can command squads of soldiers, operate ground vehicles such as cars, APCs, and tanks, or take to the air in military helicopters. Naval assets also feature among the available vehicles. The open structure of the environments means a single mission or situation can be approached from multiple angles — as a squad commander directing troops, a tank operator, a troop transport driver, a helicopter pilot, or a long-range sniper. This flexibility in role and approach is central to the game's design, emphasizing tactical variety over a strictly linear combat experience.
