One of the best realistic military shooter. The battle is intense and very good. A close replica of the real thing apparently. I have my copy, and it took me over 4 hours or so to do two missions [Counting number of failed attempts].

The game is annoyingly good lol. Yeah there are the occasional bug here and there - Tree getting in view and popping up in weird places, the game is still very good.

I haven't tried it online yet, so cant offer any comment on the online side, I think there is a coop mode online as well.

The game sort of combine the slow pace of SOCOM with a realistic military edge to it. In the missions, you do not have to kill all the enemies, in fact it is recommended you be stealthy and only kill if necessary to complete your mission.

The A.I is pretty good too. If you shoot down one of the enemy, it will call for the medic and if patched up, he's back up fighting. If the player get shot, a medic is needed asap or the player bleeds to death. Just like in real life!

I like the game, and it offers a long term playability in my opinion.

Interesting...I like Ghost Recon, and this sounds like Ghost Recon: Uber Real Edition. I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the thoughts ElRazur.
