Most Realistic Shooter Ever (and my Favourite)
Yes. This is the ultimate fps. A lot of people will say Half Life or Half Life 2 is, but I'm standing by this. This one is more realistic. It is a World War II fps, not an alien filled romp that is fun. Anywho, in this game you play through three campaigns: American, British, and finally Russian. You are a soldier in one of those three squads and attempt to successfully complete whatever mission you were assigned. This game focuses on the heroes of the war being a group of "nobodies" not just one big hero.
The graphics may be a little dated, but they still get the job done very nicely. You unfortunately do not get to drive any vehicles, though on two different missions you are in a moving vehicle being chased by enemies and have to take 'em out.
The gameplay is exceptional and by far the best in any FPS I have ever played. I am not joking. This is once very intense game and is by no means a "run and gun" ala Quake or Doom. If you decide to go out guna a blazin' you may get a bullet popped right in the head. You have to be careful, move slow if need be and watch out, depending on what type of gun you have. You may want to lay prone for a while in order to assess the situation. Though there are times when you will have to run out firing.
The online play is even better. I have not played every mode that is offered but there are some exciting ones like Behind Enemy Lines and Headquarters. The old Deathmatch is fun as well. But my personal fav is Team Deathmatch. The gameplay is just as exciting, and even more unpredictable because you are playing against real people. And if you still have a dial up modem like me, do not worry, with the exception of a few times, I run very great at pretty good ping times. It is still very much fun.
Personal Highlights:
1. Holding the bridge as the brits
2. The car battle
3. Going into Stalingrad without a weapon. If you turn and run, the Russian's open fire on their own men.
This is the first game where I really took a lot of screenshots at really cool things that happened or I did. If you like FPS games weather they are run and gun or strategic you should get this. And if you are a WWII buff then you should get this as well. It is well worth your money.
