    The OG Cover Shooter 0

    I'm no scientist but this was the first game I remember with cover mechanics. It has stop and pop action and a terribly goofy storyline that is sort of a shallow version of Metal Gear Solid. The Special Forces unit belong to is called S.C.A.T. I think we can see what we are getting into here.Yes it is slow (pretty much Gears of War with no sprint), but at the time of release it was pretty awesome. The next time I remember seeing cover mechanics was Kill.switch, so this was definitely ahead of it...

    Rip Off 0

    operation winback was a rip off it did not make any sense. the story line is about this man who`s name is john luc going undercover thats the only thing that made sense.the single player is slow and is difficult to get used to. it is not the quality of other third person shooter games. This game includes a co-op mode which is outdated compared to other games. It has the basic death matches but is so slow and can get boring in a few minutes. so overall this game has flaws which rates the game so...
