Yeah, I used to play until I got some other games. But I got back into it, and I just finished Basic and Adv. Marksmanship Training. Currently going through Airborne, then I'll follow that up with the Adv. Infantry Training. I hate the SF training though. Can't pass that last one.

Used to play it. But now my ram is lower thus making the performance suck bad. I loved the SF missions.

I played it when it first came out, a longgg time ago. I even got the SF modules that came with the little action figures. I tried to collect the different weapons. The thing I liked was it was for free at first, is it still free? Have you played any of the Novalogic Delta Force series. They have them for like $19.99 now in a bundle. They were good games. Or OpFP / ARMA? I'm waiting for ARMA 2 and OpFP2 Dragon Rising. I think these are going to be great.

AA is still free, but it drags on my laptop way too hard. I played Delta Force 2 back in the day. I was DAMN good with an M-4 (sniping at 300 yards with a 4x scope).

I used to play AA when it first came out. Pretty fun.
Just got AA3. It was all jacked up, though. It said I had done training missions that I hadn't, etc. etc. So buggy. I was so frustrated. I uninstalled it.
The Delta Force series is EASILY one of my favorite games. Especially the older ones! Blackhawk Down was alright, but the first two were AWESOME. So cheesy yet so fun.
I used to really enjoy playing Operation Flashpoint, but it just started becoming too much for me. I absolutely hate how the controls / character movement. Its so awkward. I really tried to get into it, but it was just too much of a "simulation", and not as much a game.

I liked how they got rid of bunny-hopping though. I hate those guys. Srsly.
The first releases are going to be buggy at first. What you should do is document the bugs you encounter, and send it off to the developers in an email. I do.
Then again, I used to do that for a living, so it's second nature to me.

Chris and any others that liked OPF CWC, check out Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. It's in the vein of OF but is going to be more accessible for console players too. The PC version will even have a mission editor. It's being made by CodeMasters, the publishers of the original OF. It's slated to come out in Oct, I think Oct 6th. I've already got it preordered.

The Delta Force series was good. Played Blackhawk Down on LAN at a friend's and it was fun. I still have my ROE card from RL when I was going to be sent over there to Somalia at that time when all that was going down but I didn't have enough AD time because I never got to take any leave so I had 6 months off my EoS/EAD. Delta Force Extreme 2 came out not to long ago but there wasn't very many people on it so I only played a few months. My favorite was Joint Ops and Escalation of that series.
Chris, have you heard of a game called "six days in Fallujah"? What would you think of that? Is it good or bad to you?

My real name is Ben, by the way. 
I had heard about that game (Six Days in Fallujah). I thought Konami or whoever was developing it put it on the back burner? Yea. Says in the wiki that they're not publishing it.
I wasn't there during the push, but my vehicle commander was. Its definitely the Iwo Jima of the OIF Campaign. It was still fairly nasty when I was there (two years after Phantom Fury).
I dunno how I feel about the game. I'd probably play it, not for nothing. But you can't really "simulate" the horrors of war unless you're actually there. I kind of like the concept of trying to get inside the players head, to show people who have not seen combat what its really like. But then again there's a part of me that doesn't agree with that. I dunno. Its a grey area, I suppose.
I also like the tempo variation that they talked about. That's exactly what its like on a deployment. Nine out of ten times you're just strolling around doing what you do. Combat is a fraction of an entire deployment, never mind a mission.
Its a shame that they're putting it down.

It's not being published because of several military families saying that it was insensitive to their plight. So Konami pulled it back, which is a real pity.Chris Shepard wrote: My real name is Ben, by the way.

Yeah since the Marines who fought there wanted their story told.
