On the other hand is one of the most (if not the best) versatile tactical sandbox for combat simulation. Your virtual character has to skirt around the most ridiculously small obstacles and will drive vehicles like if it was under the influence of alcohol. On one hand, it is moody, a hardware hog and a frequent immersion killer. No other engine can unchain both deep hate and love, sometimes even in the same person in a short period of time. This engine is a bit of a bit of a cult among first person shooters (here defined as in the mainstream sense). That being said, let’s bring in the ArmA 2 engine from which Iron Front was made. It’s just that I read many reviews of Iron Front in the mainstream press, and they are measuring it with the same old rusty metric tape. Millions of gamers are happy to pay prime dollar to be spoon-fed the same applesauce over and over again, and I have nothing against these gamers or the mainstream industry itself.
It is all about getting past checkpoints (don’t you dare making a decision on your own, follow the bloody waypoint), belated rewards (don’t get bored yet, you are just 45 points from unlocking a flashlight) and great cut scenes to compensate for the lack of virtue of the virtual world in suspending the gamer’s disbelief. When it comes to the so-called “first person shooters genre”, the specialized press and the market have settled for standards which are about revenues in the hundred millions, Hollywood-style storylines and a formulaic gameplay experience. One of the biggest ironies of the current huge diversity in computer games is the almost universal acceptance that there are just a handful of gaming genres where you can bin everything published.
