Dont want to use your heavy rounds for mere infantry, unload on them normandy style with your shoulder mounted gattling gun, want to travel faster, use your "wheel". The game is great, and I have many of the new games out there but I still play this one and have been since it cameout in '99. Why give this game a try, well first of all its just that good, and secondly, you can esily get this title for under $9.00! And if u like VOTOMS, Starship Troopers(the novel) or reminise on games such as Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri, then I highly recomend this title.
