Oops, Operation Flashpoint is not out in the bathroom (US)?
Hmmmh, let me see... developed by Bohemia Interactive (Czech?), published by Codemasters.
It looks like Couterstike, you act as an Nato soldier against russian troops. 1985-weaponry.

I played several demo level.
You disembark a heli or truck, get in line or column, incoming fire, full cover, watch, point your gun, fire, stand up, run to the trees ahead, full cover, "enemy soldier at 3 h", take him out with a handgrenade, run, cover, fire, reload, lost contact with your squad.....
This game captures the feeling of a small battle, in cold war times.

I could never see any enemy soldiers so I shot my own guys. That'll teach them for hogging all the action.

That's true...although I thought it looked well...neither could I spot anyone...so I just stayed with the leader until I was completely fed up and charged in with full gung-ho...ending up getting killed...

The difficulty of spotting the enemy in Flashpoint is a huge addition to the immersion factor, makes you hit the dirt all the time. The best method of surviving and getting actually to shoot someone is to sprint from cover to cover, stopping to look around prone for muzzle flashes, smoke and movement. The best view is obtained by using the gunsight. Sound is also a good cue on enemy locations.
Whatever you do, don't run around on your own, you'll just see nothing and die. Unless, of course, you like to steal Soviet UAZes and run over an advancing columns of troops.

Sounds like to much effort. We have a VR suite in my building where they have set up quake. If I want immersion, that is what I do.

A VR suite...nice ...Quake...not nice

Bah, you're all amateurs...

They should put Mechwarrior or Heavy Gear into that VR set, not crappy and simplistic Quake.

CS on the other hand is too much a game of luck these days, and the guns are ridiculously modelled.

BTW, the small yellow box floating around on the screen in Flashpoint is your position in the squad. When advancing, just stick as close to it as possible. If you get lost, head in its general direction.

The guys that run it reprogramed it to run in 3d. There are about 30 of these places loaded in the world. Once a month they do tournements and our network gets real damn slow.
