New to Flashpoint Campaigns, don't start with tutorial

Post by actrade »

Trust me, before starting the tutorial, read the Game Operations and Battlefield Primer pdfs (both in the same folder as the tutorial PDF). The current tutorial is more like a minor playthrough of the same scenario using different types of equipment than it is a tutorial that introduces you to the game. The other two PDFs will give you the information you need to know what the heck you are looking at when playing the tutorial. I know a lot of gamers see "tutorial" and just jump right in, but I think there's a good chance you will really learn the game faster after reading the first two docs then the tutorial. Great game!

That's probably good advice. For returning players, the Tutorials are great though. I really appreciated the way they brought me up to speed on things, and how the third one especially drove home the hard lessons the game teaches....
