I'd heard GI Combat was a very poor Close Combat wannabe.

I mean combat mission

Vietcong is great in Multiplayer. Get yourself some squadmates to play with you as a well-organized squad with voice comms will not give you any chance.

Very good squad oriented multiplayer game. Single player is so-so.

Depends what kind of games float your boat.  If you're looking for FPS squad-based multi-player games, then games like Ghost Recon, Operation Flashpoint, Raven Shield or the Desert Conflict mod for BF1942 are good choices if you want one set in a modern conflict.

If you're looking for a WW2 fps multi-player game, then look no further than Day of Defeat.  Yes I know it's built on the aged Half-Life engine but the people that made DoD have done so much with the engine (with a little help from Valve) that even though it's a 5+ year old game engine, the game itself is as fresh any WW2 themed multi-player game out.  I've got MOH, RtCW, RtCW-TW and BF1942 but even though they look nice, they really can't compare to the fast nitty gritty action of DoD.

For straight, fast paced FPS multi-player games, then Unreal Tournament 2003 is a good choice.  Fast and furious fun that game is and there are also a few mods coming out (like the WW2 Path to Victory and Red Orchestra) that make UT2003 a good choice.

For a MMOG fps game, try Planetside.

To Hyena,
AA is real fun

Tip, do your best in training
When you do reg for online make sure you don't whack friendlies, Besides losing honour your squaddies will usually let ya know what they think of newbies  lol

Hard to see from a distance in some circumstances the foe from friendlies

Ohh and no matter which side you choose (def or attack) you always see your side as usa ;) that's even if you choose to be the enemy

Great fun many hrs in it

Nice when you get into it and form a good team

I didn't think the A-10 was modelled in America's Army?

AA is fun for a while but the maps get stale after a while...

splinter cell...compared to metal gear solid 2 is not to great...the only thing i dont like about the 2 modern metal gear games is that the story line is just a bit odd...i found it easier to get into metal gear solid (1 and 2 ) than i did to get into splinter cell...

hyena426 AA is fun but like Defiance said when you go thru basic you want to do good so you get more honor points when start online.

Basic is easy if you've played first person shooters before. You do simple things like how to shoot and throw grenades. The Obstacle course is easy.

You need to be sure and do the jump school and when you try to qualify on the rifle range you want to keep trying till you get at least 36 out of 40 so you can go to sniper school. Sniper school is easy also, 2 guns 2 bullets 2 targets no time limit.

Was playing it all the time but my conx suck so bad now(damn isp)I haven't played in weeks.

Also as Defiance said you want to be sure not to shoot anyone on your side or you will lose points and/or get kicked out of the game.

The more points you get(winning games, Being a leader, kills) the more Honor you get and the more Honor you get the better chance of getting the weapon you want. (There are only so many good weapons per game and normally the highest Honor gets to choose)

Right now with my isp I can't play online so I've gotten to where I'm only playing BF1942. Not realistic at all but still loads of fun. The expansion pack Road to Rome is a blast.
I have been reborn a new man!

Notice I never said a better man.

I went and got 'Operation Flashpoint Game of the Year edition' was about £30 here in UK and its a superb game.

You get to play the campaigns as the American perspective, Russian perspective and as a Resistance fighter - where you set up ambush, steal weapons/tanks etc.

I highly rate this! here

I'm not suck in one part of the game..gonna have to go find the cheat for the game now lol..

America's Army is a very well programmed game.  The weapons are done beautifully, with fully animated controls and reloading, bullet drop, recoil, stoppages, manually extending bipods, etc.  The comms system is really cool.  You can whisper to teammates, shout out loud, talk on the radio, or give hand signals.  I would play it more if there were single player / co-op missions.  Also the maps are very small.  If they change those two things I probably would play it A LOT.  

OFP is awesome.  Big maps, combined arms, very realistic interactive world.  But I find that multiplayer is very laggy, and the multiplayer interface is awkward and missing a lot of features.  The interaction between players and buildings is really bad, so it's not too good for fighting in towns and buildings.  I found single player to be very addictive though.

Raven Shield is really good.  It's a modernized Rainbow Six.  Kind of a cross between America's Army and Rainbow Six.  The maps are kinda small though.  And the weapons models have all the limitations or other Red Storm games.  No bullet drop, can't shoot through walls, can't climb obstacles, etc.  Graphics and sound and enemy AI are fabulous though.
