As a combat infantryman having served in Baghdad, Iraq, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, I have to say this game is horrible. Tactically, from a weapons employment standpoint, it is inaccurate. The reports of weapons sound like arcade tunes. Graphics: Who says time travel is impossible? I just journeyed back 5 years tonight. U.S. type uniforms are outdated; we wear kevlars now, not the old steel pots. Light infantry guys don't wear gortex all the time either. Vehicle simulation is rediculous. I drove the M1026WW Weapon Mounted Humvee, and the one I took for a spin in the game was unbelievable. I must have toyed around with the game for 20 minutes or so, being quite sure I was missing something. Well I was'nt, the game just does'nt diliver. Look, a game can only be so accurate. But atleast Ghost Recon and Raven Shield attempt to recreate the battlefield as precisely as they possibley can while being restricted to a moniter and keyboard. Programers should think of producing tactical simulators as such: Try and make a documentary where the player plays an active role as a personage in that documentary. This game could have been excellant if they spent more time on realism instead of this super hypothetical hogwash of a plot. Should have researched the military much, much more with an emphasis on weapons sounds and employment.
