Summary
Resistance, the official expansion to Operation Flashpoint, is set years before O.F.'s Cold War reached crisis point, and delivers a campaign which forms a prequel to the original game's plot. The game casts the player as Victor Troska, an experienced ex-Special Forces soldier. Having turned his back on his military past, Troska has settled into respectable civilian life on an island just a short distance from the original game's three islands. However, his situation changes when Soviet forces invade the island group, destroying Troska's idyllic dreams. Reluctant at first to return to a conflict situation, he is forced to participate in, and then lead, the ramshackle Resistance effort, which grows up in response to the Soviet occupation.

Computer Gaming World
Resistance is so complete that Codemasters could have easily sold it as a stand-alone sequel. [Oct 2002, p.100]
Gamers' Temple
If you loved "Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis," you'll definitely enjoy this game. However, the degree of difficulty, taken with the poor save game system and non-intuitive squad command system, might make it a frustrating play for some.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Despite some real problems, Resistance offers a memorable setting and the sort of intense, intelligent challenges that can make tactical shooters so much fun.
Read Full Review >Adrenaline Vault
Its full campaign, enhanced multiplayer mode and updated graphics are definite pluses, while the unconventional warfare storyline makes Resistance a unique offering.
Read Full Review >GamePen
I can personally verify that multiplayer is much much smoother than before not that it was awful before, but I havent been getting as many disconnects as I did before.
Read Full Review >PC Gamer
Despite all those flaws, Resistance's branching, 20-mission campaign dishes out some of the best gameplay scenarios yet seen in the genre. [Nov 2002, p.110]
IGN
For the most part, this add-on delivers on a lot of the same great gameplay features but manages not to fix some of the major problems that I had with the single player campaigns.

The weak artificial intelligence is beginning to show itself, particularly with Resistance's emphasis on conserving supplies and conserving personnel.
Read Full Review >ActionTrip
The mission editor and multiplayer (I tried that, but it wasn't a good experience for me) are perfect additions to this extremely popular tactical game. If that kind of thing is your bag, baby, then there is no reason you shouldn't own this game by now.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
It is a slightly different angle on the same thing, but it's all good fun.
Read Full Review >Yahoo! Games
Only let down by AI deficiencies and some clipping issues, it's a healthy upgrade for the strategic shooter.

Thanks to your dumb teammates, you'll be on the new island forever. [Oct 2002, p.74]

Dr. Cruel gave it a10:
Perhaps the best game ever made for the PC, due to an extremely active modding community. The various CTI versions (especially crCTI) are still played actively and regularly today, and there are annual tournaments. This game has extensive expandability, a fantastic open-ended environment, decent graphics, and plays smoothly. The only real criticism is a lack of support for extra players to enter during multiplayer games (such as more moder combat shooters like the Battlefield series and Joint Ops have). Highly recommended.
Paul gave it a10:
Operation Flashpoint: Resistance is a superb addon pack for a superb game. Although squad control remains fiddly at times, all the more noticable in the new campaign because of the amount of missions in which you command a squad, most areas of the game have received a good going over - the multiplayer is much slicker and doesn't have the lag that plagued early versions of the game and although the new multiplayer missions provided don't set the world alight, there are plenty of outstanding user-made ones and the multiplayer community is still going strong. The single player campaign is tidy, action packed and with an interesting plotline, the new island has better graphics, there are plenty of interesting new vehicles and weapons and the expansion works very nicely as a whole. If you hated Cold War Crisis, the game hasn't changed enough for this to be worth your while. If you though Cold War Crisis was okay, but gave up on it, this is enough to tempt you back. If you loved Cold War Crisis, this CD hasn't been out of your CD drive for the past two and a half years.
Andy D. gave it a 9:
One of the best add ons.
