This game attempts to be a military sim, and although no game will ever accomplish this exactly, this one comes close. It has great lighting and smoke effects. It has realistic bullet effects and decent AI. It's graphics are the only issue I have noticed in all of my time playing and those are easily looked over. The graphics are beautiful if this were a 2007 game, but in 2009/2010 they start to look a little dated. Overall this is a quality simulator that is straightforward enough on easier difficulties for any war junkie, but on harder difficulties is easily stressing enough for a REAL video game war vet. If you are looking for an online game that you and your online buddies want to co-op then this is for you. My personal favorite game mode is Infiltration, where you are either on the defense team or the infiltrating team. The infiltration team is vastly outnumbered by the defensive team but they have the element of surprise on their side. Along with the great simulation reality, this game offers a multitude of driveable vehicles and a destructable environment. The environment (buildings and such) are destroyable but they require a bit more force than normal.....such as a large rocket or artillery barrage, they won't crumble under a barrage of bullets. Bullets also penetrate certain substances to a certain degree. Overall this game is worth your money.
