One who does really well at such a game may one day even receive "contact" about joining up.
Outstanding!
they put alot of money and research into this, they pretty much made it as real as possible. (so im told, havent played it yet)
Considering they have all the experience in real combat, this must be pretty good...
This brings up an interesting point on violence in video games. People are always complaining that violent games like Counter-Strike make kids pick up guns and shoot people (ie Columbine and all the copycats). But this is a case where the game is actually designed to make you go out and pick up a gun to shoot people
And we who paid to develop this game? The sorry American taxpayers that are watching their fellow American soldiers die in Iraq.
i played this 3-4 months back religiously, but it got too addictive so i deleted it..
also part of the reason i deleted it was alot of cheaters in the game.. got boring...
but apparantly this new version u can drive tanks & shit... so who knows...

Well in the game all of your enemies are modelled after terrorists.. so I guess you would only be shooting them, not some innocent or righteous force.
