CBH99 said:Operation Flashpoint - by far, the best FPS of modern (Cold War era) battlefields. The maps are HUGE, ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS...and the gameplay is extremely realistic. (The more you run, the more tired your guy gets, and the less accurate your crosshair is, etc, etc).
Also has some AWESOME Canadian mods for it....Griffons, G-Wagon, CADPAT, Canadian weaponry, Coyote, LAV 3, etc, etc. Great game.
The newest version of OFP is being released soon. It's called Armed Assault (ArmA). And the militarized equivalent (VBS2) is going to be released in Alpha version very soon (I have the pleasure of getting to use the militarized version of OFP (VBS1) at work, and will be receiving training from the company (Bohemia Interactive Australia) next week (alas, it will be done in Gagetown, not Australia :'( ). We will also be receiving the Alpha version of VBS2 at that time to see what improvements it has over VBS1.
With any amount of luck, every soldier in the CF will receive a "lite" version of VBS1 (and/or VBS2) so that they can use it to conduct training, at home or at work. The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has done this, and the USMC is in the process of doing this. Watch and (virtually) shoot.....

Just a quick note: VBS1 can be purchased by consumers (AKA civvies), but the price tag is steep: about $1000 once you get all the modules. VBS2 will only be for the "serious" market (defence, emergency services, etc).
