FSPilot 0 Posted July 20, 2002 So who's your favorite soldier in the 1985 campaign? Gastovski is the black ops guy Armstrong is the infantry guy Hammer is the tank guy and Nichols is the pilot Mine's Armstrong. You just build up more of a character with him throughout the campaign I think, although he kinda gets faded out near the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted July 20, 2002 Ditto Starting from Armstrong's days of the assault course and running to the truck and back, working your way through the early battles, rising through the ranks and all that, gives you a real affinity for the guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted July 20, 2002 Man. I should have put some of the other characters. Like the guy who always says "meathead" or the guy who thought you spelled "jeep" with a g. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted July 20, 2002 Yeah but you don't play as them do you? So this way it's better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester983 0 Posted July 20, 2002 Yea i voted Gastovski too. Even though i wasnt exactly the best at black op missions. I liked what they wanted him to do. PS: I dont think this is a spoiler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aculaud 0 Posted July 20, 2002 Gastovski. Its all about Gastovski. I loved the spec ops missions, and his personality developed more in resistance. I'll never forget the first spec ops missions cut scene, how the camera omensously fell on three spec ops who were to clear out the beach head for the coming tank assault.

ACT SMILEY 0 Posted July 20, 2002 Armstrong and Gastovski were the only player-characters with character. The other two didn't feel like people. Of course, the poll doesn't include characters that aren't played, so we can't vote for Fowley and Koslowski or Angelina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesia 0 Posted July 20, 2002 Armstrong rules. He does what you bought flashpoint to do. Fight as a soldier... I don't like Nichols 'cos hes dum and gets captured. I don't like Hammer 'cos he has a silly name and he is incompetant and so is his tank crew (hours of time wasted making my tank turn left) I don't like Gatovski because he reminds me of annoying stealth missions of crawling about on your stomach without ever killing anybody But Armstrong really rules. He is class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted July 20, 2002 I voted Armstrong. He's a better character. Good plot with him. And Jamesia, it's not Nichols fault he gets captured. There was problem with his plane. BTW, here something I noticed with that mission. When you take off from the Malden airport, your leader says you are heading EAST to Koleguev. (I can never spell that! Yet, when you aprroach the island, its from it's own EAST side. Shouldn't it have been it's west side you are approaching? Now, I would think that they just flew south of it, and could bomb and make a B like back to malden. But no. You head back off the islands EAST coast!

I won't let him take back his dignity....... NO!!!!!!!! *breaths deeply* If it was me I would have climbed out of my plane with my cellotape and scissors and fixed that hole over the fuel bit.... why couldn't he have done that? hes weak. thats why. hes dum. hes a fool. *throws more darts at the poster of nichols' head* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesia 0 Posted July 20, 2002 and on a slightly more logical level, why doesn't he evade capture? If his plane crashes in a wood, he can run away.... its not hes been fighting, no, not like Armstrong, nice, kind armstrong, Hes just been sitting down all the time flying his plane..... why can't he run away?

SpaceAlex 0 Posted July 21, 2002 I voted "James Gastovski", because i like his attitude and i like specops missions. But still, first few missions with Armstrong are the best. Little too easy though lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
