If you're into boring realism, then I guess Flashpoint is ok. I'm sure if you actually play the single-player campaigns in an FPS, then Flashpoint could even be great. But single player in any FPS is something I haven't done since Goldeneye.
I have no shame in maintaining that a video game SHOULD have arcadey elements and qualities in it, which is EXACTLY why I find CoD4 to be such an impressive game, and hope for the same from Modern Warfare 2.
Hardcore realism often sucks the fun out of playing a video game, especially when you're a hardcore multi-player like me. In shooters, there's something about being shot by scrubs camping in windows on the the other side of the map that really doesn't sit right with me. Especially when "realistic" games usually don't allow you to move with ANY amount of speed, making it just that much easier for the window-camping randys. Sure, that's what "real war" is like, but it's not "real", it's a video game, and it should be fun.

Bullshit.
Those forces combine to create a soaking, boiling mudstorm on Valentine's Day.
