Dude this game rocks. I played it this morning at my budduies, and it is uber realistic. When you are looking through the gun sights, your character breathes and the movement is depenedent on his position. w0w

DF3: Land Warrior did that too. Snipers rifles bobbed a lot if you were standing up, slightly if you were crouched, and not at all if you were prone. Plus the shots in DF3 were influenced by wind.

Here is a pretty funny writeup from a player on the reason that this is free:



BRAINWASHED
They start you out with this "demo" that you can download. You get hooked, so you eagerly call your local Army recruiter for the full version of the game released on CD.

They now have your phone number and address.

You impatiently wait for the CD to arrive in the mail, and once you have it in your grubby paws, you install it and you are in again. You master the game, gaining skills as time passes. You are more hooked than ever. Weeks later, as your addiction grows to new levels, the Army calls you and asks if you want to "play" in a more high tech virtual realtity "game" that they have at the base. This version of the game requires virtual reality headmounted displays in addition to VR suit that captures your physical movement. Without thinking you make an appointment to "play" the more extensive version of the game at the Army base.

They now have you.

The following day you arrive at the Army base, enter the VR room and they gear you up with the VR headset and suit. You are so hooked on the game that you just want to play. Once you enter this version of the game you see just how much more "high-tech" it truely is. Its nearly like real life. Of course, most of your skills from the home version of the game transfer, but there still is a bit of relearning to do. Within a few hours its all in your grasp. You are owning the other "players".

At the end of the day, the Army recruiter asks if you want to continue to "play". Thinking back to the home version of the game you realize that you could never go back to that primitive version again. The Army's VR version is far more addictive. Again, without thinking you sign the papers.

You are now a soldier in the USA Army. It doesn't take the Army much longer to weed you from the VR simulators into real life combat simulations. Of course you have to put lots of effort towards getting into physical shape, but you don't care anymore. You are hooked more than ever, and because your skills from the VR simulator transfer fairly well into the real life "simulations", you are owning everyone else.

You are the USA's killing machine. It all started with a downloaded demo, which was followed by a full version of the "game". After that you were playing a billion dollar VR "game", and before you knew it, you were splitting skullz of anyone the USA government asked you to "pacify". -Selfist

Sounds like someone is upset that they didn't come up with the game first.

:shoot Just completed Boot Camp and the first training mission, it rocks. The Damage, sound, movement, and look is ultra realistic. If you are playing, be patient with the first training mission, as everyone is trying to go through it in order to complete Boot Camp.
