Now that sounds quite well.

The only thing bugging me is the stuff wrapped around it..."Our heroes"..."Sign up now"....etc...

Yeah, it's annoying. It's paid for by my tax dollars as a recruiting tool for the Army so I guess there is some of that to be expected. The thing is a thinly veiled recruiting tool but if you can ignore that part of it (just like ignoring the commercials on your favorite TV shows) it's a very entertaining game. On the plus side, because it's put out by the Army and because military guys are thorough it's a very well thought out game. The interface is exellent, the concept is top notch, the scoring is perfect, even the "training" scenarios, which unfortunately you have to go through, teach you the controls in an entertaining manner. I wish Falcon 4 was as bug free.

Ok, I concede on the BF series in the true word of 'Sim'

When you mention Sim, I think of both types of simulator, real world flying and combat so my bad for listing LOMAC and L3, but as I said 'in my opinion' which takes into account combat sims too.

All good points though guys

I'd definately list LOMAC as a sim, but not the L3 F22 product.

Ghost Recon 2 was a particularly good FPS for me. (Also one shot, one kill). Very heart-pounding gameplay and pretty realistic.
