That's Call of Duty 4 I think. The scene is the same as this one:
I know a guy who just got the hookup of all hookups going IA to Afghanistan crewing AC-130s (if an IA can be called a hookup). The funny part is he's the continuity piece, as the AF will rotate 3 squadrons through during his 12 months BOG.
As w/ many of the missions in that game, there's lots of "Shoot those guys..." but no real tactical info. I never had any problems getting through the -130 mission, and I agree it looked awesome and was fun to do, but when the spotter tells you, "Hit those guys, no, OVER THERE! Take 'em out!" That's not real helpful. How about a clock/bearing and azimuth, asshat? I know, it's canned dialog that gets recycled, but it was just one more thing that bugged me about the game.
Maybe it's the alcohol, but are you really demanding what I think you're demanding from a video game???
No, although there are games that do it well enough (Operation Flashpoint and Armed Assault come to mind). My overall beef is that COD4 gets touted as super-realistic when it's not...in any way...at all. I read it described somewhere else as "a 12 year-old's wet dream about modern warfare."
The game looks amazing, no doubt, I just was put off by a lot of stuff (like finding just the right place to stand so I don't get killed after trying to enter a room 15 times earlier.
