In Response To: Re: CoD might have been a poor example. (Bry) : "Technically impressive" is probably one of the last things I would : say in regard to scripted moments, since that's what they are. : As an experience though, its all well and good to mock, but just as they : leave you feeling un-engaged, many are well and truly sucked into them. : I've found MW and MW2 to be two of the most immersive first person games : I've ever played. : Its a bit unfair to take them to the extremes of saying something like : "look but don't touch", as if there is only one possible way to : progress through them. That's really rather unfair. Some ways are : certainly better and easier than others, and the nature of the games on : the hardest settings will essentially shepherd people in that direction as : they die again and again and again. : Abandoning CoD though, personally I would say that Star Wars: Republic : Commando gave us a rather fine example of a gritty 'realistic' military : experience with all the perks of being in the SW sci-fi universe. : In a way SW:RC is, perhaps, the game that Reach set out to be. I remember seeing the demos for that on the SW: Battlefront disc and being intrigued, but being keenly aware that it would only be as good as the AI. Something Halo has unfortunately done consistently mediocre to poor.
