As games have sought to become more and more realistic over the years they have only succeeded in doing so in one capacity; visually. Games are more and more impressive to look at, opting to pursue real life graphics instead of stylised ones that the new technology can offer. The games themselves though are not any closer to being realistic portrayals of anything, yet alone war. The Armed Assault series, though, has always sought to be a little more realistic.
One gunshot will take you down, and you’ll be relying closely on your team mates for support. They can heal you, well only the medic can, but you’ll be having to work closely together as a team. Communication is key – calling out precise locations of enemies is crucial as is having excellent accuracy. The maps are enormous, the travel options are extensive but you need to patient; this isn’t Call of Duty. This is Armed Assault.
