I agree. There is a couple things about the game(GR) that is educational however. Like going around a corner head into a group of enemy soldiers and realizing you only had two rounds left in your magazine(you die). I like the idea of manual reloading in games. Keeps you on your toes.

There's manual reloading in lots of games, including DoD. DoD is a little bit less realistic than GR, and it's faster-paced (it's urban combat, and it's not a big deal when you die).

If you buy half-life to play DoD, you should also check out Counter-Strike.
