Wasn't Op: Flashpoint on the xbox hideously ugly and horribly delayed?
wasn't hideously ugly, it was hideously old. it was made before the xbox was even released.
Elite version is quite stripped down, suffers from several problems and above all lacks modability. OFP is alive and kicking well today just because there's such a huge amount of additional content being released. Elite was just "meh", I don't know if it even includes Resistance or even Red Hammer and I didn't enjoy it. For a complete OFP novice it might be fine, but you can just grab the ooooold GotY edition with RH and Res for like 10 bucks, DL a ****load of mods and vehicles and guns and missions and explosions!, and then play for years to an end.
