[Jackal]

 Does anyone play America's Army? 'Cause I do, and it's really fun. If you do, I'm ACS-Jackal-MSG, and I have an Xfire, which is jackalm

[Gunner-Chan]

Gave it a try, but it felt off. So if I want realisim I play Rainbow-6 and Operation Flashpoint.

[Rilder]

I used to play but because I had to go through some overly hard mission to unlock the "special forces" missions, I got turned off.

[Darkone]

SF missions were long and boring, but not hard if you looked up a guide to explain the screwy AI sight....

[Cthulhu]

I played it for like two days.  There was nothing that set it apart from the dozens or hundreds of other first-person online shooters around, except the OFFICIAL ARMY CERTIFIED or whatever.  It didn't make me want to join the army, which I'm sure was the goal.

Mission Failed.

[olemars]

I played it for a while way back. My problem was that I was pretty bad at it, so each round ended up following the recipe of

Run for a few seconds.
Die.
Wait 5 minutes until the rest are done.
Repeat.

I doubt the prospect of a ten second life expectancy will make the teens of USA more likely to visit the recruitment office.

[Kagus]

Never played it, but I was highly tickled by the team graphics idea.  Regardless of which team you choose, your side looks like Americans and the other side looks like bad guys.  This makes it impossible to join a side that's fighting the Americans.

That was just so incredibly typical that I had to laugh at it.

[FoboslC]

I foun d quiota bugs, like being no rec oil while running, and a possibility of shooting without reloading, etc.Without hacks. Just, normal, bugs.
That was so sucky as hell so I quit that game. Bleh.

Yeah, that has some hilarious consequences for the mission briefings, since each team takes turns attacking and defending. One moment you're a brave US soldier attacking the evil terrorists who are escorting one of their evil terrorist leaders, the next you're a brave US soldier attacked by the evil terrorists while you are escorting a human rights activist or something like that.

[Darkone]

It did wonders for balance though. The terrorists would never loose without it onb most maps- M16 sucks vs an AK both at range and close combat. I always tried to grab one when I found one.

[Drakale]

I played this a lot back then. I found a few spots where i could cook a grenade just right so it exploded mid air in a crucial location, wiping a bunch of the ennemies. Ank yeah AK is the best in that game, which is mighty ironic if you consider who paid for the game 

[chaoticag]

They leave little hints on what to exchange on your SI guns in that game I suppose. The AK might be an old gun, but it is a really well made one, and was actually better in Jungle enviroments than the M16. The aiming mechanism was simple, wheras the M16 needed you to carry a ballpoint pen onto the battlefield to adjust the aim.

[Servant Corps]

"I am indeed a human rights activist. Please ignore my RPG."

[Sergius]

Gave it a try, but it felt off. So if I want realisim I play Rainbow-6 and Operation Flashpoint.

Flashpoint is probably the only game that portraits first person shooting as desperately firing blindly into enemies that you can't see, are probably out of range anyway, with a gun that can't shoot straight, emptying one magazine after another without knowing if you hit anything, while bullets come in from all directions and being unable to pinpoint their source. AND somehow managing to kill the opposition, and finishing the mission... pretty realistic actually, I might as well have been in Nam for real.

Old Grampa: You little sissies don't know what a real war feels like! You weren't in Nam!

Guy: I played Operation Flashpoint. Same thing minus the danger part.
