It ought to be realistic- they use this game to train the U.S. Marines.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Wrong, they use it to help train soldiers for the US Army. Secondly, the game is not realistic, they changed it for retail. Type in the code HA2P1PY9TUR5TLE, this will give you the REAL simulation that the Army uses. The game sucks after a while. It's the same thing over and over, and does not allow you to try different manuevors or to properly use MOUT tactics. I did some time in the Army, this is not realistic. Besides the fact that you have an unGodly amount of ammo, your enemy NEVER runs out ammo, you can't do more than the same flanking manevors over and over again, you can CONTSTANTLY make your 'dead' soldiers alive again by just gettin him patched up etc. I could go on... I am very dissappointed in this game. By itself it is good, but the fact it is trying to be so 'realistic' and 'authentic' makes it horrible. Hell, your Squad Leader isn't even in it. The proper make up is a Staff Sgt. for Squad Leader, then you have two teams of two man buddy teams each. Alpha Team led by a Sgt. and Bravo by a Cpl. Like I said, I could go on, but I'll stop here. The game is a rental, that's it. The only thing realistic is some of the convo coming out of the soldiers.

btw, what is "convo"?

Sorry I was abbreviatiing. 'Convo=Conversation'. I implied that the only thing realistic to me was the speech and words which come out of thier mouths. Besides the weapons they use. To me the game is a cheep attempt to shovel out to the public what appears to be tactics used by the US Army. And what we are imploying in Iraq, I tell you this is but only a small part of what they really do. I mean, come on. You can't even enter building and clear it room by room. One of the MAIN tasks of MOUT.

P.S. Just in case, MOUT = Military Operations in Urban Terrain

One other major thing, never go over METT-T, (or METT-T-C to some), Mission, Enemy, Time, Terrain, Troops. This is essential to go over and know before ANY combat operation is done. But then again, this is a game designed for people who have never served or technically who don't know anything about the military so it doesn't surprise me. Try out that code and play the real simulation, you will see the detail it goes into and also how much harder it is, mainly cause it is realistic.

P.S. I hope I am not coming off like a total j@ckass, if I am I apologize it was not my intention.

It was VERY well-done. Some of the gameplay was pretty cinimatic-like (I've had no sleep), and the firefights were pretty intense.

I wouldn't say it got boring, but it just didn't stay too interesting through the entire thing.

It's worth a rent, but do not buy it. I beat it in a day.
