check out Battlefield 3.

It is very strategic, has tons of unlockables (scores of guns, motion sensors, remote C4, mortors, spawn satellites you can place almost anywhere, flashlights for your guns, smoke grenades, anti-infantry mines, anti-tank mines, infrared scopes, etc.), has four classes (Assault Medic, Support, Recon, and Engineer), plays very smoothly, lots of vehicles (various tanks, jeeps, armored vans, helicopters, and jets), and is really fun.

It is available on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

A small warning: everyone is terrible at this game when they first start playing. You won't start to get good until you learn some of the maps, and unlock some of the decent equipment. If you buy the premium edition, you will get all of the new maps for free, and you will begin with some very handy gadgets, such as the med pack, ammo packs for the your team, etc.

You are right. The tech was not really up to it yet and the graphics left much to be desired. Egalitarian Thug Nov 2012 #15
