Now i'm wondering, do game demo's reflect how a full installation will run on a computer?

Not necissairly. Demos are often made of betas of the program and their performance is said to be a little worse than the one of the program.

Now, Operation Flashpoint, do you have the option of having the gun in the lower right hand corner of the screen, and the option of looking down the sights when you want to aim accurately?

Of course you have! OFP is IMHO the most realistic war game ever developed. The only chance to hit your enemy is by using the iron sights. And if the enemy hits you - game over. Wink

Additionally,you get the chance to drive tanks and fly helicopters - american ones only 'though.
And the storyline is better than every single Tom Clancy novel out there. Grin

I'll keep an eye out for it then. If I see it at a reasonable price then I'll get it. But i'm getting Stike Fighters and H&D2 first.

This game is out since 2001. If you get it from e-bay, you'll probably get away with 20€ or less...

I've had bad experiences with 2nd hand games. I want to know for sure that the discs actually work. So if I get it i'll get it new.

Maybe. If it's been out since 2001 then i'll probably be able to pick it up for about £15 at the highstreet. Which I believe works out as pretty much the same.
