Close Combat: First to Fight

If you're into squad based shooters, then Close Combat: First to Fight could be right up your alley.

Slated for a March release from Take2 Interactive, the game developed with the US Marine Corps will be coming out on PC and X-Box.

Quote:

---

Lead a four-man fireteam of US Marines through the perils of authentic, modern urban combat in a Middle-Eastern urban battleground. First to Fight is an action-oriented, first-person 3D shooter that is being developed under the direction of the US Marine Corps as a training simulation for use by the Marine Corps.

So perhaps you can get to re-live Black Hawk Down?

In a bid for more realsim from your opponents and squad members an in-game psychology model makes AIs behave as though they were humans with wills of their own.

The game engine allows for facial animations, volumetric real-time shadows and dynamic lighting etc etc, so it should be worth a look, as these screens show.
