This game certainly surprised me. I was expecting something similar to classic Medal of Honour, but I found this game was much better than this. Now this was back when Gearbox was a developer and not a publisher, this was made under the eye of Ubisoft. Gearbox made a very good game here that captured the true horror and tactical difficulties of warfare. You command two different grounds and have to organise them to flank enemy soldiers, not to mention that you can run in yourself, however that's likely suicide unless you have your team surprising the enemy and stopping them from firing at you and turning you into swiss cheese.

A interesting function I kinda like, but did irritate me at first was how they use ammo. In most FPS games, you have an ammo counter which disregards clips apart from how many bullets are in the gun. As this game reflects realistic military battle, then clips are counted and reloading with a half-empty clip, you throw away those bullets in the clip you just unloaded so it's best to conserve ammo. Especially as the enemy do not drop ammo for your American weapons so you are very limited in your firepower.

I'd recommend this if you're sick of the so many military shooters out there, as this one feels like one that should exist, especially with having people in your squad who permanently die.
