For those of you who (like me) had never heard of this game, I urge you to look it up a bit.
Here's the
official site.
The game is your basic FPS. Guns, explosives, vehicles, etc. You can drive gunboats and jeeps in the demo. What sets the game apart are its AI and it's graphics.
The game is absolutely stunning. There's reflective, REFRACTIVE water. Objects can be pushed over and thrown around with explosives.
Here's some screenshots

in this forum post.
The AI is just as impressive. The mercenaries communicate and coordinate with each other. They'll flank, lay covering fire, dodge behind cover, and run for help. They'll jump into nearby vehicles and use stationary machineguns to mow your ass down. Their AI is better than the marines in Halflife.
The demo is out now. You can grab it from
Fileshack, and it's also avaliable at other sites like GamersHell and AUSgamers.
