Alliance: The Silent War

I came across an article that may interest the developers and people who frequent this forum. Its 'Dslyecxi' idea of what makes a truly realistic FPS game, he is an ex-US Marine so he has experience of real combat and he also plays a lot of realistic FPS games. There are a lot of truly interesting features in here that could make a game brilliant.

Be warned though this is a very long article (22,000 words), so I’d suggest reading it over a number of days, but it is definitely worth the read.

The only thing it doesn't address is the need for classes in FPS so every grunt cannot fly a helicopter or drive a tank, but as Alliance will not feature drivable vehicles, so this omission doesn't matter too much.

I watched the video, good stuff. Didn't expect MOUT in a warehouse or hanger though, I ', just used to it in a mock city or somthing.

I don't know how you could say that its a brillant article that covers just about every aspect you'd ever wish to want in a realistic FPS. What do you mean by 'not my kind of game', what do you think this is going to be?
