The graphics are not of the Unreal engine quality.This is because the size of the game world is huge. You can drive/walk/fly from one end of a continent in real time. I was lucky and only played the demo once or twice before I got the game. Don't let the demo turn you off. The game I have has been patched several times with most of the known issues addressed. The one shot kill only happens if its a head shot.

I'm so used to the graphics of America's Army and the gameplay, but the graphics in OFP are still cool. The control is what I really like, the aiming system, and how it seems more like you're seeing what the soldier would really see, rather than being in some separate box with a gun avatar. The huge battlefields ROCK ASS (they really do!). I downloaded both demos last night, beat all the missions except the second one in the Resistance demo where I have to command people (mostly the difficulty is adjusting to the commander role and the directions that come with it). I still havent played it with the super AI on, I wonder how that competes. I will probably buy both OFP and its expansion later today. The demos themselves are amazing.
I think the one shot kill is cool, I don't die often and the death scenes are extremely cool. Its great how it focuses on your soldiers dead body with everyone still running around shooting and dying, then zooming to the guy that nailed you and watch him fall to the ground with a bloody face.
And oh man, its so fucking cool to see bodies fly in the air after being blown to fuck by tank.
The thing that reminded me of this game was seeing Ghost Recon on TV and the desire to play something akin to AA but outdoors. Then I remembered someone suggested the game to me, I played the demos, concluded they sucked, and went on. But I was itching to give it a shot again, so once my power supply got here, OFP found a home on my hard drive.
The ambush level in the OFP demo was really cool. Especially when the UAV showed up and I stole it to cruise around the battle field (which I later learned is not a good idea). I don't remember exactly what happened, but my UAV got really fucked up and my guys legs were severely damaged and could not be fully used. The extraction chopper at the beach was 600m in the distance. My platoon had completely left me behind for the chopper. I had no ammo for my rifle and one rocket for my LAW. Enemy soldiers kept running about while two BMPs scanned the area. It was very tense to crawl from bush to bush infront of these BMPs and knowing that if a soldier found me I would be dead. The time compression key is very useful for things like that. I made it and took off in the chopper, fulfilled in every sense with the battles I had just fought.
