Microsoft's "Close Combat" series always did pretty well, but it's not first person; it's a squad game like X-COM. Are you specifically looking for first-person stuff? Because otherwise there's all the flight sims, naval sims, lots of things. <p><img height=150 width=115 src=http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif border=0 align=left>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br><br>Though a program be but three lines long,<br> someday it will have to be maintained.<br> <i>- The Tao of Programming</i><br>Life is complex; it consists of real and imaginary parts.</p><i></i>

Deadly Dozen looks pretty cool. You can get WWII online now for 9.95. Deadly dozen for 19.95. <p><img src=http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/Hewdamia/i ... </p><i></i>

I just downloaded and played the Deadly Dozen demo...pretty cool. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Just like most of these sorts of games, it has a pretty high learning curve. The training mission helps get you familiar with the weapons and formation commands.<br><br>*edit*<br>P.S. I liked the non-linear mission. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>*edit* <p><table><tr><td><IMG SRC="http://webpages.charter.net/1ibcnya/mon ...

heh, RJ, I'm thinking the opposite... I think the learning curve is too low and that the game is far too much of a shooter vs tactical game... (as you can tell, I don't like 'quake' games and quite despise 'historical' 'quake' games... I like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon type games, quakie games make me feel far too much like a super d00d holding a plastic lazertag gun with the stamina, sometimes, to bunny hop all day long... I can go into a lecture on every thing I don't like about said games, but I'll be nice for now <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> )<br><br>/me is very picky in what games he plays <p>* BlackRider-DTM starts writing down useful chat phrases in Latin...<BR>LoS-Incitatus{DTM}: hehe phrases<BR>LoS-Incitatus{DTM}: oh wait, thats how its spelled, DOH!<BR></p><i></i>
