I have played this game a little bit at my friends house and loved it, so I figured what the hell. I went to the store and bought the platinum pack with all the booklets and the extra mission pack cd and everything. I get home and install it- it installs beautifully. My computer is a new p4 2.2 256 Ram with an okay video card, and that was far exceeding the box recommendations. I got into the game menu and begin the missions and right as I press the button to start the action, my computer completely shuts down. I don't know why it does it- I have well over the recommendations. Buy this game if you really hope that it will work- mine regretfully didn't.

near perfection tarnished by horrible AI

this game is so nearly perfect. i want to cry when i think about the game designers sitting around saying "hmm well the only problem is that the enemy AI can't get a half-decent head shot off with its target under cover while running." what in the world were they thinking? i mean the enemies do NOT miss. meanwhile your team mates cant hit squat and always fire only after one otehr guy is dead. I found myself going off course to take care of red or yellow team's work because i knew they were just going to mess up and die anyway. long range fighting is torturous, especially without auto-aiming on. the enemies always hit first at long range unless you're really really lucky.
Everything i havn't mentioned yet in this game is absolutely incredible. close-range combat is great. auto-aiming makes it easier but takes away most of the satisfaction of shooting a terrorist, you miss that frantic moment where you have to aim before you get shot, which is the best feeling inthe whole game. the sound of "tango down" is truly a beautiful thing to hear. one hit kills are pretty much guarenteed; when im not sniping i always use fully automatic weapons so i cant really say if the first hit is the one that killed the guy, but it really doesnt matter. of course this doesnt apply to sidearms, but you wont run into bruce-willis in die hard 2 gunfights where you're pinned down and have to spend several minutes fighting. someone always dies at the first confrontation.
The tactical planning is also loads of fun, orchestrating ambushes and the like. one of the best feelings in the game is seeing another team arrive just as planned, on the other side of the room, ready to uselessly stand there while you shoot everyone. the AI nevel lets you forget how bad it is. i wish i could just install a patch that dulled the enemy AI's aim and raised the friendly AI's reaction speed.
of corse the enemy AI is a pleasure to fight as long as you pull the trigger first, these guys are brilliant. i wouldnt say the AI is as good as the hugely underrated AI in Jedi Knight 2, but it will seriously surprise you sometimes.

Awesome

This game rocks!! The possibilities are endless with so much mods to be able to get. Cool new weopons like the steyr aug. Fun online play. Plus I like all the custom missions. This is a complicated game but sniping a terrorist while your teamates sneak in through the back is pretty cool. Once you get bored of the game (which will be a long while...) get some mods and it will be as interesting as it was when you first got. Good FPS.

ROGUE SPEAR! HAHAHA!

This product is exceptional. I think that if you haven't bought Rogue Spear and Urban Operations sperately, this is what you should buy. First of all, the price is only 30 dollars, when everything is purchased separately, the cost is over sixty. Secondly, this CD pack comes with many customizable missions, which can be changed to suit yor needs. Overall, this is a great buy and should not be passed up

Must Buy

I have been playing computer games since computers were invented. This is my favorite game of all time. The realism is just amazing.

For the people who say the AI sucks, try it on elite. On normal and vetran, enemy AI is okay, but on eilte the terrorists are brilliant. They will flank you and try to come at you from both sides, so you have to be careful to always guard your back.

The bad guys are very good shots, but that keeps it interesting. It would be too easy if they weren't.

My suggestion is for people to look at the map in the planning stage, but only make a plan if multiple teams have to enter a single area from two locations at the same time (using a "go code"). Otherwise use the "U" key and have your team cover/snipe as required.

Have fun.

If I could have rated this 6 stars, I would have!!!

By the way,the engine for this game is used to train the U.S. Special Forces in real world tactical ops situations - no Joke!!!
This game kicks some serious butt and I can't wait to run home every night to play it over and over again. I can seriously see why this series of games is being used as a training tool for the U.S. military because the situations are so plausible, and the opponents so real, man I can almost smell the powder burns on my clothes at night. Love this game....

not for amateur

This is probably the hardest game that I have played on the computer. I love this game because it keeps you on the edge of your seat in thinking that you are actually a real life member of the SWAT team. I had difficulties with nearly every level. Each level killed me at least 5 times before I would finally get the hang of it. This is a must buy for anyone out there who is into scary stuff. This game chilled my spine with the omnimous music. This game is even better with sub's installed in your sound system

Great game, well worth the money

The best of stratigy games and first person action games combined. You can create your teams, gear them up, make an attack plan, and carry it out to your specifications. Granted some Recon missions are extremely hard if not imposable, but cheats are available as a last resort. Huge book included to give pointers and suggestions on almost every level. Practice and Training modes very helpfull for sticky situations too. EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!!!
