I like this game because it is multiplayer and is going to be fun. I mean, you can't judge this game before you try it. I also want to say thank you to the Army, Airforce, Navy and Marines and everybody who was at Saint Mer Eglise, D-Day, crossing of the River Rhine, Battle of the Bulge and the whole war. Thank you!!! so try this game out, see if you like it, and don't judge it if you haven't tried it out. You could always send it back if you don't like it. Now let's get back to the game

Multiplayer for four

trainer for the U.S. Marines

Co -op

And just go house to street and have fun and remember it's fun that count's.

Here is the formula:

Full Spectrum Warrior - everything good + a slow 1st person shooter with blocky movements = Close Combat: First to Fight

cover my back!!!

When I read the mixed reviews for this game I was a bit reluctant to try this game out ,so I rented it. First off I dont think this game is simular to Full Spectrum Warrior ,First To Fight is more of an arcade style First Person Command shooter.But I gotta say I loved this game.With the richly detailed graphics & the tough fighters that seem to hide in every corner.You are a squad leader with a 3 man team ,4 including you. The squad A.I. isnt to great they often would not be able to see a guy standing right in front of them ,But at other times they would be able to kill a sniper about 300 yards away.The good thing about this game is you can order each man individually to any position you want ,but the downside to your squad A.I. is alot of times they will turn and face directly into a wall or they will be completly oblivious to the enemy firing at them. But at other times they will be very good shots. You can also direct then to fire at a certain area ,by issuing a 'COVER' command and they will cover that exact spot,but unfortunatly they wont see an enemy thats even 5ft from that spot.Meaning that its not a wide cover area .I found it was better just to issue a general 'GO TOO'command then they would have a wider cover area.But it is good when you want them to cover a Doorway which is effective given that its a small opening.I think the developers shouldve spent a little more time on polishing up on the squad A.I. There's 4 difficulty settings Recruit,Marine,Gunny,Realistic. I beat the game on Marine 2 days, then On Gunny 3 days, Then I was about half way through Realistic mode before my return date was due on the rental. I didnt notice a big difference from the difficulty settings ,Its not a too hard of a game,but it does get very intense towards the middle of the game alot of fighters firing from all sides top & bottom.Realistic felt like a decent challenge,but not even close to HALO'S hardest setting Legendary mode.Sometimes by the time you get your squad lined up perfectly the firefight is almost over.Its not like Full Spectrum where they will line up on a corner easily .In First To Fight your given a gun also and you can at times take out 80% of the enemies or all if you choose. But towards the later stages it severely intense with tons of fighters coming at you from all sides and you need your squads help. You go into Beruit to defend from Syrian fighters. You have you take down,HVT,High Valued Targets ,ACE CARDS , sound familular,either alive or dead.There are different routes towards the later stages its not all Linear .There's usually two routes and there's alot of flanking opportunities. The fighters will also flank you on the harder difficulties. Its plays more like a arcade shooter not a semi-realistic training type game likeF.S.W. But it is very realistic with well designed streets and buildings .Its more of a free form shooter, you can be point man or 2nd,3rd,or 4th man which ever you choose.You have the ability to call in morter strikes on machine gun nests & truck bed mounted machine gunners. You can call airstrikes on tanks.You can also use the macine gun nests or truck bed mounted Machine gun or the tanks machine gun mount if you neutrulize them by not destroying them. Also you can call in sniper support to cover certain areas & they can be effective.You can pick up enemies dropped AK47'S ,The RPK ,and the Russian SVT sniper,& Russian RPG. I liked the RPK cause it has a huge clip of 75,but it doesnt show up until later in the game. The detail in this games graphics is realy good ,especialy when you get further in the game.But I do have an 'S' cable so keep that in mind.The gameplay could be a little smoother its a little herky jerky .They couldve made the sprint button better by letting you hold the left trigger.But instead you have to double tap forward on the left stick ,not click but double tap.Because it does feel a little un-naturaly slow when your walking , crouched, or prone postion.Although its always best to go slow instead of rushing in.Also when you kill an enemy ,instead of instantly dissapearing or lying there dead ,sometimes they would jiggle ,it sounds like footsteps ,it took me awhile to figure it out where the heck is that footseps sound is coming from, but its the games ragdoll physics engine that couldve been polished up alittle more in the games production.Adversly when new enemies spawn in you here footsteps too.The sound is pretty good and ambient,except for the footstep thing and the last level ,ace of spades boss ,there's an incesent buzz like sound .You can issue a frag & clear room or a clear no frag.There's no flash clears in this game, its 99% Assault. With a little more polish this couldve been a stellar game. Its not as smooth game controls as Ghost Recon ,but I think First To Fight is tougher & has better graphics.Its fun and I loved it ,even though my squad is a little dumb.The rich graphics and the tough enemies made it exciting ,but I dont know if this game would be good for the casual gamer, it might be to hard on the later stages. But it does start out almost too easy probably because there's no training levels ,they throw you right in ,but once I got familar with controls it was easy as pie. Most of the commands are simple one button anyway.Its more of an arcade style,with exception to the realistic difficulty, shooter based very loosly on MARINE type street to street, house to house fighting.Which I found from playing this game is very tough and deadly job.Just in the real world we dont have a restart button.Thanks to all who serve in the armed services.

The Standard for any soldier.

This is a great game.Stop putting it up against FSW they're 2 different games both are good in both aspects. Being in the military this seems to be more true than FSW, even though you move a little slow which is sometimes good.Great action through out the game and the night vision is sweet.

There are much better games

I really couldn't finish the game since it's so under the standards of the best current xbox games available, for instantce: any Ghost Recon game is far more realistic and fun than First to Fight. The graphics are so-so, but if you don't feel they're important to the enjoyment of a game, then you'll be ok. The control and movements of your character are not what one would expect from a war game, specially if they say is "as reallistic as it gets", first because you can't peek from corners, you can't get down all the way to the floor, and if my memory doesn't fail me, you can't jump. So, what kind of realism is this? Anyway, if you don't mind all the cons, you may find the game fun.

Not the best but still worth while

i read the official xbox magazine(oxm) review on this game and it got a 2/10 which doesnt seem fair to me but just because of one reason ...the co-op is worth checking out and so is the multiplayer..although i must say oxm was right when they say the graphics and sounds suck but if you can bypass the graphics and have some one you can invite over to play this game then i belive you should try it ...over all i gave it a 3 because of co-op and multi but dont expect to have any fun playing sinlge player ...the ai is stupid and its just annoying

Very Intense!

This is a very intense First Person Shooter! I have played NovaLogic, Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon; but FtF is at another level above these games. The AI is much much better, the graphics is great, and the game play is excellent. The action is very dramatic. The various missions are all urban but diverse. I liked the moving thru the sewer.

The terrorists AI is very good. They don't do too many stupid things. They use cars, etc for cover well.

I also like the ability to call in air strikes, mortar, and snipers. This helps out alot.

I miss having a map I can view and the ability to play selected "custom missions" like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. Also since you "lead" the team, you cannot plan out your mission in advance, rather you plan it as you go along.

There is a good system for restarting at various "checkpoints" if (when) you get killed.

I also miss having a pistol as a 2nd weapon.

One issue I had was my video card. I had an ATI 7000. The game loaded but would not start up. I replaced my card with an ATI 9600 and the game works great!

Overall it is great!
