This thread has been linked to the game 'Full Spectrum Warrior'.
Did I read somewhere that you don't actually pull the trigger at anytime during FSW, you just command the fire squads?
Heh. If only. Playing through the game, you might think "This is quite tactical" but it's not. You're limited quite alot in what you can do and which ways you can tackle a level.
Sure there are a few ways, but it's all basically the same. I wouldn't be saying this, but they include the original version used by the US army on the disc and after playing that, it is a very tactical game. Only 5 missions, but damn, they're some of the hardest things i've ever encountered on a game.
True, it's not actually a game, just a training sim, but if some things were touched up on like the controls and graphics, it could possibly be the best tactical game ever. The AI is much better, levels are completely open ketting you choose to do a level how you want to, more pedestrians, pedestrians will come up to you and shout hate at you for being in their country, you have proper M203 grenade launchers, you can modify your teams, cutomise what happens around you. Overall is a much better game than the Full Spectrum Warrior you see first.
But yeah. It's a good buy.

oh yeah, just found the answer in an online review "you never actively aim or fire weapons in the game (except for grenades)"
sounds just like conflict desert storm then except:
- the pulling of the trigger
+ the advanced/complexity in tactics

It sounds crap, but it's tactically amazingly brilliant
