As much as I like CoD, for all it's sensory overload is still not that much more evolved a shooter than Duke Nukem 3D.

Tactically, the bad guys come at you from totally expected directions, you have no control over AI and covering flanks, nor do you need to.

They are very simple games with a lot of gloss. Not that I want to wax rhapsodic about Rainbow 6, but if you at least block one approach and the AI will often make an attempt to flank you. Not perfect but at least it leads to interesting AI behavior. Not something you see at all in CoD games. They are different experiences.

Armed Assault on the PC is a full tactical sandbox simulation, I understand it's getting an XBOX 360 treatment. And when it does, probably next year, you'll understand what it means to THINK and FIGHT at the same time.

Thinking and shooting is not everyones cuppa though.

Gamers and press today seem be getting more obsessed with trailers, I've seen YouTube videos with frame by frame analysis of released trailers. It makes Trekkies look positivley SANE.
