It has come to my attention the Operation Flashpoint 2 will be released onto the steam client. Gamers who already own a steam ID will be able to take full advantage of ofp2 through the application, online store. However, Games such as GTA IV on initial release had teething problems when a portion of the community tried to download the content to find the game was buggy and wouldn’t validate when checking downloaded binaries.
If you are wondering what Steam is, Steam uses a graphical user interface allowing anyone with a steam id to buy and download games and other media content. Earlier Counter Strike gamers would have adopted this client many years ago when it was first introduced, after the 1.6 version of the modification. Steam has then since increased in popularity, promoting third party games and non valve derived games onto the client. This allowed the gaming community to have access to a wide range of games from all kinds of developers.
This is great news for the community because steam is already a well known gaming tool for the community so promoting ofp2 will increase multiplayer awareness and create an even bigger online community than expected.
