I have played a bit with GR but the inability to actually have real people has always put me off.

Medal of Honor had it going, but the physics were a bit odd to me, and the lack of recoil took quite a bit of the realism away.

Have you ever looked at Day of Defeat?

It is a Mod to Half Life that replaces all of the characters and backgrounds with WW2. Weapons, Uniforms the works.

It is only played on line, which to me, is the future of Gaming.

Playing aginst any sort of AI pales once you have played aginst people.

Check it out, all you need is Half life (about 10 bucks) and a connection.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers,

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.
