I'm not much for RPG games, usually preferring FPS types. Flashpoint does have some RPG elements: story, characters, etc. You don't develop characters in that you can build their abilities, but in the Resistance add-on you do have to scavenge your weapons. It’s rather slow-paced for a first person shooter and you need to think and plan before opening up with your PK/M60/RPG7/etc.
In fact, using your brain is most of the game, since you command troops and there is no single correct way to complete a mission. There’s a lot of fun in sneaking into a Russian camp, stealing a T80, running over a few badguys, then blasting their vehicles or, sneaking in, planting some satchel charges, sneaking out, and detonating the charges from a distance.
To minimize frustration, though, you should look up the savegame cheat.
