Thanks Imbroglio!
The realism between this and rogue spear is that if you get shot in a not so critical location, Ex. Shot in leg/calf, you will fall, cannot get up, but can crawl to cover. Once you get good cover, shout for the medic, and he'll run over to you. The not so realistic thing is that if you're "Fixed" by the medic, you regain all your leg strength, etc... As if you've had 2 years of healing & therapy right on the spot. I don't mind though, it makes the gameplay last longer.
Typically though, the "VETERAN" skill level kills you so fast you don't have time to call the medic, and quite often, the medic gets cocky & dies before you! I once had to crawl to the extract location to abort a mission! I crawled about 3/4 a kilometer and as I got over a grassy knoll I got blown to pieces by a High Explosive tank round (tank was about 400 meters away & closing on me fast).
This game is SO REALISTIC that when I'm done playing for 1-2 hrs my ass muscles are sore from clenching under stressful situations. I LOVE the fact that to aim the gun, you use IRON SIGHTS on the M16! This is SO REALISTIC! I LOVE IT! I've NEVER had a game so cool. The campaign missions are neat, you get to jump into cars, go on recon/security patrols, sniping officers... There's SO MUCH kewl stuff to do!
Then when you have to stay in formation, there's a little yellow "indicator" that I can follow so we stay in a good V formation, etc...
Damn, I love this game. I think I'm going to have to go try that north star trick now... Thanks Imbrog.

That's all you really need to know. Look into the reviews it has received online. If you see people bitching about accuracy, it's either because they were trying to run while burst shooting, or they were using a pirated copy. This game has a pirated software copy which causes your bullets to miss all the time & accuracy sucks, because it can tell when the game has been hacked/cracked. The game is PHENOMINAL, and It's WELL worth the $40.00 price tag. Heck I'm surprised it wasn't $60.00
