Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.219
While I voted for this a long time ago in the original Wishlist, I was reminded to come to the new Dreamlist and vote for this game again given that EA has decided to delist the game from Steam, another reminder that we need much better work with preservation, something that even GOG has to deal with given publisher agreements and their disregard to keep their games being available and playable for new generations.
Please GOG, try to contact EA and Codemasters and make it possible for this game to come back and being available on here.
About the game itself? while is not way near the quality of the ARMA series nor is able to compete with the original OPF, the games was good and really deserved better, it was a good mix of OPF and 2001 Ghost Recon, it tried to compete against ARMA and lost, but that doesn't mean it was a bad game.
this was one of the first computer games i ever have the fondest memories of, i used to go round my gandfathers at the weekend and play this game, it was a large part of my teenage years
The only problem I ever had with this game was the 30 fps limit on console.
Its a shame this game didn't find its audience, because at this time there was a lot of people who would've loved it.
Its your hardcore military sim, you get punished brutally for mistakes. But unlike a lot of military sims this game felt really fair and balanced, it doesn't feel quite as unfair or brutal as most military sims. The freedom in the co-op/single player missions are fantastic and what makes this game shine.
You could have you and your friends hop into a helicopter together, drop half the team near the objective and coordinate with your friends. It feels like a true sandbox game.

MediEvilMediEvil is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, the game follows Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal knight accidentally resurrected to battle the sorcerer Zarok and save the kingdom of Gallowmere.
The game takes place across a variety of levels, many of which require certain objectives to be performed to progress. Sir Daniel Fortesque can use a variety of weapons, consisting of close range weapons such as swords and clubs to long range weapons such as crossbows. Many of these weapons can be charged for a powerful attack and some weapons, such as the club, can be used to access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. When not possessing any items, Dan is able to rip his own arm off and use it for both melee and ranged attacks. Dan can equip a shield alongside weapons to defend against attacks; though they can only take several hits of damage before breaking. Throughout the game, Dan can visit gargoyle heads of two varieties; green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition by using the treasures he finds.
Dan's health is determined by a single health bar, which reduces when Dan is hit. It will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height. If Dan completely runs out of health, the game will end. Dan can extend his maximum health by collecting Life Bottles, which will automatically refill his health bar if it drops to zero. Also hidden throughout the game are Life Vials and Life Fountains that can replenish Dan's health and fill up any empty Life Bottles Dan has. In each level, there is a hidden Chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player fills it with enough souls from defeated enemies (some Chalices are awarded via other means). If the player clears a level with a Chalice in hand, Dan is warped to the Hall of Heroes, where he can speak to a legendary hero who will give him rewards, such as weapons. If the player finishes the game with all the Chalices, the game's true ending is revealed.Action Comedy Horror
