This will continue until the enemy troops so overwhelm the good guys вЂ“ noted on the screen by a handy blue/red circle, blue=good, red=bad вЂ“ that the mission is considered a failure and aborted.

If the player dies, the camera swoops from the site of the death to another, Geist-style, living and breathing soldier on the same team.

(This is the solitary feature of the console versions that will have PC gamers frowning with jealousy). New to the console versions of Modern Combat is a character-zapping system, which, as its title describes, allows players to swap at will, most of the time. But of course, this is not a feature film but a video game, and quite honestly, I doubt that many of us would pick up a game like Battlefield 2 for any reason but to run around and shoot things with only the best technology of the present and near-future. The story is extremely loose from the get-go, giving players only the most basic reasons to kill, kill, and, uh, kill. Instead of the incredibly recognizable World War II setting of 1942, Modern Combat takes the route oft-traveled by other developers of latter-day shooters and puts the player in command of peace-keeping situations in obscure ex-U.S.S.R. Team-based FPS gaming just doesn't get any better than this, and while the PlayStation 2 version is the most inferior of the bunch, it's still the best multiplayer shooter to release this year. By all means, this should have been the most unholy matrimony, a meeting of two genres that have been worn to the bone, but the addition of modern settings into the Battlefield 1942 formula has proven to be one of the better ideas thrown onto the PC and console first-person shooter scenes. A chunk of the modern-tactical-shooter katamari fell off, as did a piece of the forget-your-grandparents-WWII katamari, and somehow they remained just sticky enough to form the true sequel to Battlefield 1942. While the netcode left quite a bit to be desired, the game was just to darn fun to let that ruin the experience.Д®nter Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. It took some time to get used to the various control-maps for the different vehicles, especially the airplanes, but difficulty curves are what PC gamers are all about, and the feeling of mastering the game was sublime.

It was called Battlefield 1942, and its multi-vehicle, team-based action captured the hearts of many a jaded gamer, including my own.

Nothing, outside of similar series from the same developer, really took R6 to school, at least on consoles, until SOCOM happened.ДЄnother enormous katamari of a genre, historically inaccurate World War II-based kill-'em-all-and-forget-the-struggles-of-our-grandparents shooters (or whatever these things should be called), spawned its best game a little later. Spec Ops was always junk Delta Force was never better than average. Rainbow Six is the game that I like to say started it all, if only because it was the first one that did it well. It's not often that a good one comes out anymore. But the prince rolls up junk for the honorable cause of replacing the stars shattered by the honorable King of All Cosmos, while these tactical-whatever games are rolling out because of trendiness and their money-making skills. Each year, the releases continue, and they are exactly what the Prince from Katamari Damacy wants to roll up: junk. It seems like tactical war-simulation strategic kill-'em-all-with-smarts historical/real-world shooters (or whatever these things should be called) are balling up like a giant katamari.
